NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[shopson67]

I don’t know about that. These guys aren’t exactly starving. It isn’t like this was their only option. If it’s me, I’d like to think that I’m going to stand on my own abilities and make 2-3 million of earned money playing on the tour plus what all my sponsorships can bring.

I would guess that the vast majority of the tour has family money to fall back on should their golf careers fail. Trust fund kids growing up playing on private courses.

This is only even slightly tolerable because it is golf Somehow we can separate the politics for them and it is strictly about business

Can you imagine the hand wringing if the NBA took a direct investment like this from Saudi Arabia? OMG.

The China backlash has been bad enough...

I thought on China but it isn't the kind of direct investment that the LIV is. If a Chinese backed investment firm bought half the NBA I'd tend to agree with the backlash.

You do realize there is an Indians board though, right? Not every one of your Indians musings has to go on the NBA board?

I mean, it is the off topic for...well....off topics?

It's one thing to have an occasional news item drive some discussion. It's another thing altogether to delve into the depth of the farm system in an NBA thread (off-topic or not). Funny, I don't see any current threads from Wiggy or yourself on the "Indians" board (latest post from anyone is in April). You guys should liven up that board with that chatter instead.

He's had, what, a dozen posts about the Indians? you can do what I do when I see golf comments and scroll by?

Truth be told never even knew there was a board for specific teams.

If you wanna talk Cleveland baseball and other divisional stuff check out the AL central discussion thread.

Let’s keep it real here.

He does about a dozen a week. Most are very lengthy and specifically talking to the 2 Guardian fans on here.

He is right. You all should really take those convos elsewhere.

Very cool little league story here. Pitcher was crying because he hit a player in the head.

Oklahoma Little Leaguer consoles pitcher who had just hit him on the head in classy moment

Now, THAT is sportsmanship.

I've seen the AL Discussion thread...didn't know there was one specific to the Tribe (if there is).

I've seen some lengthy ones, sure.

Being real would be to understand to scroll past a long post and a very short one is a matter of a couple extra seconds.

You can go to the MLB baseball forums- A.L. section and click on Cleveland. Multiple threads. Is that what you mean? As far as just a specific Tribe thread, not aware of one.

Hopson mentioned it...not sure what he meant. Sounds like what you just described could be it.

Not that I talk about Cleveland baseball much but when I do I usually keep it in the A.L. central thread.

That division is garbage. But the young team is doing much better than I expected this year. It's something to build on.

The only times I've seen them on tv this season were the two times MLB extra innings was a free preview.

I don’t read any of it.

Still, the point remains. Detailed ongoing conversations about a specific baseball team really belong in the baseball forums.

I don’t mind the Guardians talk for one. I like talking sports with PEOPLE. That is the most important variable for me. I love all you bastards even when we disagree. So let the man bring his bull shit here. If it gets some talk then great. If it isn’t your cup of tea just scroll along. But I appreciate talking any sports with you guys and girls. For the most part, you are informed and that’s what matters in a sports conversation.

Also…I’m drunk and high so take that into consideration as you digest this touchy feely shit. Ha za! Wifey had to drive home from beach.

I thought certain aspects of the team (like the OF) would be a disaster and they've been much better than expected.

or the off topic thread. I mean, it's not like any of the discussions are going on too long (hell, this one is probably longer).

Yep...there were some Phillies comments too (some long). I read some and skipped some. Bring it.
