Thinking there's a chance the 9'ers can upset the Cowboys...

Exactly what I was getting at. Sometimes it is best to stay a coordinator imo and wait for the right job instead of the first job

If you have a rough season, don't finish it off with a unhinged bizarro press conference.

I felt like his job was safe right until that press conference.

Jokic 'disrespected' in MVP convo, Malone says

With the MVP chatter focused on players like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo, the reigning award winner, Nikola Jokic, is being underappreciated, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said.

Malone thinks that Joker is being disrespected this season in the MVP race. I guess he doesn't get that reigning MVPs who are on .500 teams don't usually get a lot of love.

Also, if you want to repeat as MVP, you probably intentionally harm someone to the point that they miss months of playing time.

I’ll take all except the Cardinals, give me the Rams in that one. Of these I like the Raiders and Eagles against the spread though.

I just have a feeling Stafford is going to fuck up. Rooting for him though finally to get that first playoff win. Niners-Cowboys could be a good one too.

They love giving us a brutal schedule.

Had Morris not hit Jokic in the ribs while he was attempting a pass he (Jokic) wouldn't have lost his mind and overreacted. It's not like Morris was completely innocent. He was the instigator.

Morris is a dirtbag. But Jokic wildly escalated.

He was projected as the first receiver off the board, atound 6. As long as the surgery goes well he prob won’t drop a lot, some though.

Would be interesting if he went before the 2 guys he could not beat out at OSU....obviously injury changes things.

I don't wanna sound like I'm defending Nikola's actions. I'm not, he was way outta line and should have gotten a longer suspension. But none of that would have happened if Morris didn't deliver a completely unnecessary cheap shot by elbowing Jokic in the first place.

In a playoff pool with a few entries. Think I had Rams in more but otherwise mostly the same. could regret it, I guess, but only team I never used was Steelers.

I agree. But those sorts of things happen in games all the time.

I just found this funny

I just found this funny

No wonder Peirce hates-hates-hates LeBron.

LeBron embarrassed him on the court countless times.

This might be the funniest thing Pierce ever said. After winning the title in '08 he was asked- "Is Kobe really the best player in the world?"

His insane response- "I don't think Kobe is the best player. I'm the best player. There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line but I have a lot of confidence in myself."

I just have a feeling Stafford is going to fuck up. Rooting for him though finally to get that first playoff win. Niners-Cowboys could be a good one too.

With all his recent struggles, he was mistake free in the last Cardinals game.

Rooting for Cowboys is leaving a foul taste in my mouth lol...

 

[shopson67]

I wouldn't be surprised if Wilson and Burks are the first 2 receivers drafted. Burks is a height/weight/speed freak.
