If he'd started right away, you'd be on to something.

I love it. And he did push off.

THANK YOU.

They played UConn twice and lost both times. The game in question, UConn shot 40% but was 4-23 from 3 and 18-32 from 2.

Detroit, too. Earl Wilson was a power hitter who hit 7 homers in a season twice. His 7 home runs in 1968 were 9th on the team for the Tigers.

That's an interesting take, Coach - the other guys shot poorly and STILL beat you. You must be awesome!

Luck for sure - pretty good numbers and 11-5. Cam was good and improved the team a lot. I'll agree with those two.

So many issues that weren't game results. From constantly wanting to fight people to ACTUALLY FIGHTING people... good grief. He was given so many chances and still managed to blow through them all. Screw him.

Still the greatest run ever for a mid-major - back-to-back title games and a banked-out 3 away from beating Duke to win it all. Or just shooting... terribly instead historically awful...from beating UConn and winning it all.

Immediately, obviously. Plenty of #1 overalls have been successful - Peyton, Stafford, Aikman Palmer, etc. - but all of them sucked out of the gate. I'm just wondering if anybody was successful immediately.

Has there ever been a #1 overall QB that started right away AND was successful? I can't think of one off the top of my head.

No. This is: https://www.homeruncards.com/imagesrc/keith-comstock-1989-procards-small.jpg

Good. Finally ended the clown show.

He's not washed up, he's just not good. He's never been as good as the perception of him but he's declined a lot. He runs off it off gas mid-season and pads his numbers against bad teams while not doing much against his ones. He did manage a combined 5 TDs against KC & Buffalo last year in consecutive weeks - while averaging 153 yards and 24 points. He had 2 games all season where he threw for 200 yards and 2 TDs and threw under 200 yards 8 times.

It's like Stockton got CTE after he retired. I don't remember him being a whacko while he was playing. Fewer opportunities to express it, sure, but he's gone completely off the rails the last 5 years. I worked with his sister for a decade and she's awesome. Super nice and kind. Karl, on the other hand, has been known as a POS since Day 1. Even a dude like Ja who seems like he might shoot somebody or have somebody shot on his behalf somehow seems more likable than these two clowns.

This feels like it came out of nowhere but good for him. Get out while still reasonably healthy. Incredible player. Enjoy that trip to Canton, Aaron!

He's the perfect running mate for a guy who is the lawyer for John Stockton as he sues for the right to lie about COVID.

She handled that really well. That said, she was 24-90 in four seasons and 5-25 this year. They'd just lost by 36. Firing her before the press conference, and then letting her go out to do it, was not cool though.

The brother of LSU's Flau'jae Johnson has been arrested for his role in the fight. He knocked down, then stepped on, an SEC employee before jumping the scorer's table and trying to get involved. He's facing battery charges among other things.

Don't really care if my "used poorly" opinion is at odds with top critics, to be honest. Yes, Hollywood tends to be a little off in their casting. Off by 32 years, not so much. But, since you mentioned critics, the ages being off is one of the most frequent critiques I've seen. I'm not a Marvel movie guy and don't have any preconceived notions or criticisms of Scorcese or his movies. I also don't much care what movies he's done previously, just the one I'm watching at that moment. Great movies in 2023? To be honest, didn't watch a lot of new movies last year. Godzilla Minus One was probably the best.

The Coach K legacy of dirty players at Duke has continued past his retirement as Kyle Filipowski - newly-recovered from the court bum rush injury - tripped Harrison Ingram as Ingram ran up-court.

No, do not expand the tournament. The only fix needed is to give autobids to regular season champions not conference tournament champions. I know that ship has sailed but it's the sole reason we get snubs and teams that don't belong. If we did 32 regular season champs plus 36 at-large, no one with even a hint of an argument would get left out.

I think they'll take McCarthy and end up being happy with him if they let him sit for a year.

What does a 40-something look like in the 1920s? He looks like a 40-something, maybe early 50s. There are photos of the guy. He didn't look *80*, which DeNiro most certainly does. Here he is at 48: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_King_Hale#/media/File:Face_detail,_William_King_Hale_(cropped).jpg Meanwhile, you've got Scorcese saying dumb stuff like his friends "didn't even realize it was [DeNiro]". LOL, sure thing. I think he was cast - Leo too - because Scorcese was familiar with him and knew he'd get a good performance, not because he was the right guy for the job. And, just so we're clear, I have no issues with DeNiro's performance itself. And I appreciate his dedication in legit learning the Osage language. (sorry about the empty spoilers - it won't let me delete them) The run time was an issue because it was used poorly. The overly-long fire scene - which could've been cut completely - I've already mentioned. Lots of other places the movie could've been tightened up that would've freed time to show more. I can do long movies - the extended cut of "JFK" that's like 220 minutes is a favorite of mine. Although you seem to think I've never seen a movie based on a book before, or one based on real life, I am familiar with the concept. While it's not uncommon for movies to stray from the books or real story, it's also not uncommon for them to... not do that.

"The book was better" was absolutely not central to my critique. However, having read the book, I went in with knowledge of the real story and I just don't think Scorcese did it justice. Not when he's got 80-year old DeNiro playing this kindly old grandpa version of a 40-year old psychopath. Just... no. How did they undersell the horror in the movie? Because the real story is anywhere from 60-100 murders committed by dozens of people across nearly two decades. The movie just didn't get that across.
