Dolfan in NYC

Derrick Rose has announced his retirement

LOL They'd throw both Tony and Shahid Khan into the Thames for even daring to ask. Then as they floated away, they'd say no.

Austin Ekeler will be out for Washington this weekend due to a concussion. Skylar Thompson is Day To Day in Miami. With how he played last week... christ, throw Huntley out there. Can't get much worse.

I would think if they want to keep the gimmick going, they could tour the large tennis stadiums in the US (Indian Wells, Cincinnati, Miami) but I'm guessing it just becomes another arena show.

Huh... the reporting is (and obviously sourcing on this will matter) either: 1) After the first couple of games, Sluka and his family hired an agent. Then tried to re-negotiate his deal with UNLV because "his value had increased." When they got to an impasse, he walked. OR 2) UNLV agreed to give him $100k minimum for the year. To date, they'd only paid $3,000 and were not going to pay any more. So, this story is about to get a lot more fun. EDIT -- I'll just note... reading that first part as weasel worded as possible. The school is not denying his claim.

Gaga's new album "Harlequin" debuts Friday and is labeled "a companion piece" to the movie. This song is called "The Joker".

While, in principle, I agree... Your job as an AD or head football coach is to get your team to succeed by any (legal(-ish)) means necessary. Sluka's absolutely in the right if they've blatantly broken promises to him. If he's as good as advertised, and it looks like he is, then someone is going to get him in their school and give him everything he wants or needs. How many schools out there are treading on past glory and would love nothing more than relevance again? (Florida, Auburn, I'm looking in your direction...)

Mike is going to legitimately kill him.

FIRST UTAH GOAL

I was not prepared for the rise of Dominik Mysterio, National Treasure:

I really want this gimmick to keep going, because it will be all of our asses in the hopper soon enough.

Of note, Shohei isn't the only member of the 50/50 club any more!

No better way to start the off-season thread than by dealing with John Fisher's "apology" to the fans of Oakland:

Fanatics new authentic jerseys for the '24-'25 season will run $425(!!?).

I finally figured out where I remembered her from:

Tickets for WrestleMania 41 will go on sale on Friday October 25th.
