  1. Will never hear the end of it if the Lakers win the number one pick. By that I mean the lottery being rigged. You would figure with how much money a star can add to a franchise's value that owners would make sure the process is on the level. Not sure why people think they would just go along with whatever the commissioner wants. Though I have joked about it too never really bought it being rigged.

     

    But if your an owner and you go along and don't rock the boat when your teams in need of that star player or such maybe just maybe the rig will go your way. See Cavs, Cleveland

  2. So there are three options for the Knicks A) move out of NY* (not likely) B) Play at Barclays (less likely) C) Sham the citizens of NYC into building a new MSG for them.

    * Here come the Seattle Knicks

  3. Holy Gawd is A-Rod and idiot or just have zero luck with docs? ESPN is reporting that MLB is reopening there investigation of A-Rod cause the Doc he saw today for a second opinion for his hip was siteded for not correctly monitoring prosecutions of drugs including steroids

  4. Yeah Iverson was well known for having a helicopter pick up him and his friends to fly them to Atlantic City after games. That and huge spending sprees at TGI Fridays of all places.

    Isn't there also a story out there Jalen Rose possible that AI wouldn't travel with out lugged and on road trips would send one of his boys out to buy him clothes at each stop.
  5. Right after I posted my message - I saw the Gold Edition deal and jumped on it.I enjoy that it supposedly will take 8 hours to download. Stupid internet.The other game I will now be on the lookout for is Crusader Kings II... at least I think that is the one that 7 keeps pimping

    I can second or third the Crusader Kings II love
  6. They can't offer to set money aside from the renewal if they already have. Also EA has said they will still go ahead with development of next years game...might lead to an interesting court issue if say the SEC and its teams get offered money from EA for the rights to there properties

  7. Who IS technically eligible at this point?  I can think of Kobe, Dirk, Pau(?), maybe Marion?

     

    If team can only use it once then Kobe and Pau are out since the Lakers used it on Meta

  8. Leinart did get some flack about having those girls in the hot tub with the beer bong.  If I was the National Championship winning quarterback at USC, they would have hated my guts.  L.A. is also much different than College Station, Texas. 

    I dont disagree wiht LA and College Station being diffrent. Wasnt the beer bong when he was in the NFL not at USC. Im saying I think Jonny is geting a raw deal because A) He doesnt fit ESPNs narative for college athletes, B) ESPN wants the narritive about him failing or not come the season C) He plays in the SEC D) There arnt any better storys in College football right now.

  9. Which makes no sense.  Matt Leinart's family had money--he drove a Hummer and lived in a fancy LA apartment that his dad paid for.  But I don't recall much talk about it.  Not everyone is broke, obviously.

    Leinart wasnt tweeting about hating LA or showing up at NBA Finals games ect and play in the SEC. Was it Leinart that got a ton of talk about the fact he only had to take one class his Sr. year?

  10. Oh, and the overwhelming love of the broke athlete is a huge factor.  We can't have a 20 year old enjoying his life when he is supposed to be entertaining us.  He is going to school for free that means he can't have any money, independent thought, or free will. 

     

    I know it was during the boards summer brake but I remember one of the ESPN shows want to say the College Live or what ever talking about Jonny and saying he need to be more like Russell Wilson cause he was so mature his final year at Wisconsin as a 24 year old. I was so ready to throw things at the tv after that.

  11. I'm almost certain they are refering to him being the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, which he actually may be.  If there is something to hate about ESPN on the Manziel subject it is acting like him leaving a football camp early is some sort of mortal sin.  He is 20 years old, he probably got a little drunk and decided he would rather go home than throw a football.  It is the offseason, it isn't a team activity, and he can go home if he wants, it is not news.  Then again it is July during the all-star break and they have to talk about something.

     

    Its that, the tweet about dislikeing College Station, the tweet from Game 2 of the NBA finals, the tweet about playing a round at peeble beach, throwing out a first pitch at a rangers game....you know all those things he shouldnt be doing cause EVER qb should be Payton and be spending 18 hours in a room watching tape.

  12. Dude doesn't crack the top 3, probably not the top 10.  And they can't cite social media as the reason, because Tebow deals with that, too.

     

    I agree and think half the issues are because people cant wrap there brains around a college kid that has access to these things (NBA Finals ect ect) because his family has money. It hurts the idea of the starving student athlete idea
