NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

I guess

5 million dollars.

Pretty silly

It's ego over the money of course. Although, he does get all of that 5 mil as his own agent lol.

 

[thunderc]

Exactly. We'll definitely know soon enough if they were wrong...

Did like what I saw on the film on Rashee, though his speed wasn't all that impressive...

And the KState kid might be a frickin stud. Pure stupidity to say it’s not possible because of where he played in college. My God.

 

[shopson67]

Liked the Bills draft, at least days 1 and 2. Day 3 was 3 names I wasn't familiar with, but at least are areas they needed (a big WR, more OL depth, and a DB). By trading down they added to next years' pick tally.

For the Rams, loved most of the draft. Not big on the Bennett pick or drafting a punter, but the other 12 (!) picks were solid IMO. Made day 3 a lot more interesting for me, lol.

Dude…..


I just binged this.

Goddamn….lol

Thank you.

It's wild, ain't it? You read the premise and see the first episode and think the show is gonna be one thing and it completely subverts expectations. It still has comedy (turns out its more tragic comedy in the classical sense), but its so much more profound. And the acting and writing is absolutely top quality. It's easily a candidate for show of the year

LFG!

LFG!

Wow has to be a record

It’s absurd. Mind you, he’s not a pitcher and that makes a difference coming back from Tommy John but this is like 2 months ahead of schedule.

Was a big part of why I picked the Braves and Mets ahead of them.

The Boston Bruins had a great reg season but choked in the playoffs.

@WiggyRuss just like last year, the AL Central is going to be garbage again.

White Sox are just horrendous. That team has absolutely no heart. Lot of injuries too- but geez....they should not be this bad.

Twins are okay--- but already have had some bad injury luck. Guardians rotation is in flux because of injuries........

I mean- everyone has pitching injuries like the Twins and Guardians but they come at different times. AL Central is def. not great - which might be an understatement---

I guess around the end of may last year the guardians were 24-29 I just read--- so they can still get it going- esp. once McKenzie comes back.

Also- they always do this- but even when they have higher talent prospects in the pipeline that are ready- they always go to the guy that is more "ready"- then the guy who is talented and probably ready too...

aka messing around with Pilkington and Gaddis and Curry when Bibee, Allen and Williams are all ready or close to it.

At least Allen and Bibee are up now.

Remember Bibee- one day you can add him to CC, Lee, Kluber and Bieber- recent/semi recent AL Cy Young Winners.

even with all the prospects the Guardians have brought up over the last yeaer + or so- Bibee is the only one out of their super highly rated guys. Rocchio, VAlera, Naylor, Williams, (and hopefully someday when he is healhy) Espino- are all still yet to come. I guess Kwan was fairly highly rated but not like these other guys.

Basically- Guaridnas have 7 top prospects- 4 pitchers and 3 position players- (Espino, Bibee, Williams, Allen pitching wise- in that order), and Valera, Rocchio, Naylor....and Bibee and Allen just finally got called up.....

@WiggyRuss just like last year, the AL Central is going to be garbage again.

Thing is it's not like last year as one division was as bad or worse and the AL West was not too much better. This year, as of now, no one is close to as bad as the Central.

 

[dtgold88]

lol

As a fan of an NL West team...I ain't saying shit.

Oh as of now you can when it comes to the AL Central. Possibly a PCL division could.

 

[dtgold88]

He has real concerns from a character standpoint.

But if not for that he would have been a top 5 pick.

Great value for the Titans and certainly worth the risk. Wish the Commanders took him at 16.

Hard to believe character risk made a top 5 pick at QB drop to round 2....unless he killed a coach or his family?

 

[dtgold88]

Dude…..


I just binged this.

Goddamn….lol

Thank you.

Haha...I just finished it myself. would definitely recommend. Even better just one season. I love those shows.

Yep.

I dig limited series.

Just don’t like when they end like Watchmen.

Haven't seen that one and might be looking for another.

Apparently he really bombed his interviews.

It isn’t that he is a criminal (at least I don’t think so) but they fear he may be a bad leader and have a questionable work ethic.

That absolutely should make a QB fall.

But like I said, I would still have wanted the Commanders to take a shot with their 1st.

Make him fall? absolutely. From top 5 to out of 1st round? For a QB with the skill to go top 5? Can't see it. But my guess would be was never a top 5 prospect no matter what he said.

I mean…

Any QB with a 1st round grade is a top 5 prospect.

The best rated players in the draft are usually not QBs.

But the top QBs always go in the top few picks.

Pretty fine line there.

All it takes is the Texans preferring him over Stroud and he goes 2.

Not so sure about that first part, depending who is grading. An actual team needing a QB? Then I agree likely true. Fake GMs like the so-called draft experts? I disagree. and real GMs don't tell anyone their draft grades.
