Brian Fowler

I didn't think Cleveland would move Mobley in the deal. Which might be a reason no such deal will happen. But I think they would want Garland and Allen as the main pieces, with whatever roleplayers and every pick they can move would be Cleveland's offer.

So how much can Cleveland give up for Giannis while still having pieces around him, Mobley, and Mitchell?

Man, if Jokic ever gets rolling, Denver should walk all over OKC. I can't believe how well they keep standing up while he can't hit a shot.

I like Leonard to the Colts because he is a guy that runs a quarterback, and they are either going to start Richardson, who is a better runner by far that passer or Danny Dimes who, at least before the injury, was a surprisingly effective runner. So Leonard should be about to step right in without them having to change the playbook much. Plus, the kid is obviously tougher than J.R.'s two dollar steak and damn sure isn't pulling himself from a game because he's tired. He almost willed ND to that title last year just on toughness and endurance. But I have a hard time seeing him ever being a plus starting QB at this level.

Chicago had a Hall of Fame quarterback 50 years before Pope Leo. Now, a 4,000 yard passer, on the other hand.

When he's healthy and rolling, he's worth every penny.

Been home from work for a bit, suddenly thought "hey who won the game" so now it's hell yeah overtime.

AB was under recruited/mis-evaluated in highschool, but it still took a wild series of events for him to end up here. He *almost* wound up at Pitt after the FIU disaster, because Butch Jones thought he had potential. When Jones left for the CMU head job after Cincy hired Brian Kelly, the Pitt opportunity dried up, but Jones offered him a walk on tryout at Central. Zach Azzani essentially babysat him/took him into his family because that was the only way to get him to class and meetings on time. But he wasn't nearly as eccentric and off the wall, or if he was, the staff hid it pretty damn well.

SGA finished +51, the highest ever in the play by play data era.

Jesus fuck did OKC take Denver to the woodshed. God damn. Meanwhile... I know my man C is having a rough week, so I'll abstain from comment.

According to The Athletic, this is the first time ever that all four road teams won game one in the conference semifinals. ------ His dad being an asshole aside, one thing I love about Haliburton is that he never does that obvious bullshit about "I don't listen to the noise." Instead after the game he said "Overate that."

Hell yeah Ghost Protocol!

The Warriors have held their opponent under 90 in back to back playoff games, and under 95 three times in eight games. Apparently pairing Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green works. (So far. Until one of them punches the other in practice.)

So... How much is his lawyer making?

What's more, is that right now, these only count towards their five ACC games a year on the years Clemson would've rotated onto their schedule, but ND are very publicly stumping to have it count every year. If they get their way overall, and have Clemson, FSU, Miami, and Stanford games annually, the remaining teams in the ACC would only get to play ND once every 13 years, and at home only once every 26 years. Maybe it won't go that far, and Miami and FSU will only get to be doubled in the rotation or something, but it also creates a circular loop in the new ACC agreement. The teams that get the highest ratings get the most money. ND games are nearly always highly rated, ergo...

Cleveland looking like a strong contender for this year's "the playoffs would've been totally different if X didn't get hurt" team, with X being half the rotation.

All About Eve hits differently when you are older than Bette Davis was when it was made.

Also Jokic with the regular everyday 42-22-6-2-1 stat line.

God damn I said God damn

Wow. Did not see Boston blowing that game coming.

Don't worry, I'm sure the NCAA will slap another billion years of Show Cause onto Harbaugh, and he'll be trapped in the NFL.

I finally caught up with A Simple Favor and followed it with Another Simple Favor. Really fun, twisty comedic mysteries with Blake Lively giving incredible performances.

Well, I think that might be less "we really need him for the SEC game" and more "it would be cruel to deny him the chance to return to the field he played on and his alma mater." After all, winning the Nebraska game is more important, really. Rumors are he's not going to be allowed to recruit on road game Friday nights and lose various other recruiting opportunities this year as well.

Jalen Green feels like the real question mark/pivot point.
