NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

At that point, they likely keep Van then. Not sure where Woods is at with his recovery and the Rams draft picks are all late 3rd and later.

Deep draft at receiver, you can always draft one for depth. You need to try and replace Miller.

I threw up a little but pulling for USC.

Carr recruited Adams.....they played together at Fresno State and it's possible Adams was tired of his diva QB in GB. Never knowing if he was wanting to be traded or gone year to year. Thhey had chemistry at Fresno State. Adams caught 24 TD passes from Carr his last season there.

Again, Rodgers and Adams seemed to get along quite well from public perception. I haven't seen too many people outside of Greg Jennings criticize Rodgers. I also don't see Adams being too pissed off with Rodgers when he has arguably the best QB in the league throwing to him. Adams' ire seems to be more with the organization as they seemed to have tried to short change him and it's likely he sees how the Packers were ran in terms of free agency and drafting where they haven't been the best. Again - Rodgers' play, you could argue, actually propelled them well beyond their capability. You put in an average NFL starting QB in place, and they're likely more middle of the pack in that division.

How do you cheer for a rival?

Not that it necessarily means anything, but Dan Patrick is saying that he thinks Watson to the Saints may be announced today.

Makes sense. I always got the impression that Watson had interest in Atlanta more than Atl pursuing Watson.

 

[fightinfunbags]

This is a solid development for Phillies fans.

I bet on them.

Well, if he goes to the Saints....the Falcons are gonna have a Mayfield situation on their hands.

You dont

To be fair, it kind of depends on the rivalry. USC/UCLA is unique because they are in the same city. You end up with kids who go to each of those schools, married couples who went to the opposite school, etc. Most folks who are fans of each school have close friends who are fans of the other school.

Because of that, there are folks who just pull for both unless they are playing each other. Personally, it's not what I do, but I know folks who do.

Yep.

Bet on them and Los Angeles is always going to be home, even if I'm a little over 2k miles away.

NCAA tourney trivia. Name the steals leader for a single NCAA tourney. And try not to look it up

Not making this a heated debate, so don't misunderstand my tone here - but that's bullshit. The fact that you're in close proximity and reside in the same city actually makes it worst.

I take Florida as an example - you have a big 3 rivalry with UM, UF and FSU. Fans of each program are scattered throughout the entire state. The 3-way rivalry is unmatched anywhere else in the country. And I'd rather be dead than find myself cheering for FSU or UF.

Like Loyola and Montana St to pull off upsets.

Yale, UAB and Davidson to cover the spread.

Loyola isn't an upset

Baker-Matty swap?

 

[DJ Fieri]

They are the 10 seed, OSU is the 7 seed. So yeah I think that'd be an upset.

Interesting.

Not sure the Browns would like that a whole lot.

10-7 matchups are pretty close, like 8-9 matchups; they're not nearly in the same tier as 16-1/15-2 as an example.
