  1. Most likely Marcus Mariota with an outside shot at Jameis Winston
  2. Darrell Bevell with probably the dumbest play call in big game sports history and now a big fight
  3. Wiggins is going to be a fantastic player in the NBA once his body develops and his jumper gets better. He obviously is motivated to face the Cavs and has played great vs them this year but it's still a trade the Cavs had to make. Short term (the next 2-3 years which is the window to win a title with LeBron) the Cavs should get the better of this deal considering Wiggins will have growing pains to go through and the Cavs couldn't wait on him but long term there's little doubt the TWolves will have made the right move and will have a superstar to show for it.
  4. Josh Gordon was probably going to be released anyway by the Browns because he has worn out his welcome. I imagine his NFL career is over now though. Giant waste of talent.
  5. People can say it's not about the money and all, but nobody is ever going to walk away from 25 million for 1 season to play basketball. Kobe will be back.
  6. I don't think he's going to the NFL, but if he did go to the NFL the expectation would be pretty obvious that he has to sit and learn for at least 1 season, maybe 2. He's got NFL talent but he's better off coming back to college (though he may not start, I'm sure he will at least play quite a bit).
  7. The best season of any team I've ever rooted for. Tonights game was a 22 point win with a -4 turnover differential...imagine what it would've been if not for those. Urban Meyer has got this team ready for a dynasty. So many players are coming back next year (including 3 top notch QBs). I love it! GO BUCKS!
  8. They got completely housed, they're at .500, the East and the Central are both slipping away, and there's no end in sight. They can't play defense, offense isn't clicking. This isn't a "well we'll give it our all next year" issue, it's a "we literally only have this year" issue. If Love doesn't want to buy in he can leave, they have nothing to show for Wiggins, and a massive hole that can't be filled. It's unfair to Blatt but that's the reality, they don't have time to figure it out. As long as they are peaking in April/May/June nothing that happens right now matters. It's why it's hard to buy into the Hawks because they are obviously peaking too early. Having said that, Blatt is clueless right now. If he gets fired it'll be because of Dan Gilbert, not the GM.
  9. Cavs traded 2 1sts (the OKC one they just got plus Memphis' protected one) for Timofey Mozgov. They've been after him for months as a legit rim protecting C and seems like Denver was going to hold firm on 2 1sts as his price. Cavs defense should be much improved with Mozgov and Shumpert in the starting 5 now.
  10. Nobody in the final 4 had a win as good as at Michigan State. But I really don't care who hates on Ohio State, all I care about is the committee didn't. Beat Bama! Or as bad as a loss as Virginia Tech at home. Fair point but the committee didn't seem to care too much about an early season loss under the circumstances OSU lost and valued everything else they did more. It is what it is.
  11. Nobody in the final 4 had a win as good as at Michigan State. But I really don't care who hates on Ohio State, all I care about is the committee didn't. Beat Bama!
  12. So what happens if Ohio State beats Bama? Will the same people say Bama didn't belong (TCU just whipped the team that beat Bama afterall)? If people are gonna say OSU didn't belong if they lose then it should go both ways.
  13. Looks like Suh won't be playing in the Lions playoff game next week if justice is served.
  14. And JJ Watt gets his 20th sack of the season on a safety. First player ever to record 20 sacks in back to back seasons. No idea how you don't give him the MVP.
  15. Cleveland is still miles away from the team they will need to be and probably will be by April. It's obvious it's a flawed roster that badly needs a rim protecting C. Not sure they have the assets to get one this season though.
  16. It looks like it'll be Houston because Smith and Dwight are very close (Dwight was best man at Smiths wedding apparently), plus Houston can offer more than both Sacramento and Dallas can money wise. They also have a big need at PF.
  17. Surprising because of his contract (26 mil still owed to him after this season) and the fact they could've traded him this summer to the Kings but rebuffed their offers. He was always a terrible fit on that team with Drummond and Monroe at the big man spots (in no way is he a SF). It seems very likely he ends up with the Kings now, with the Mavs as a possibility as well.
  18. That would mean Goodell using logic. He's not going to be finished until he changes everything good about the NFL.
  19. Bo Pelini hired as the new coach of Youngstown State....surprising they landed such a big name but he's from here and with Tressel as YSU President, it shouldn't be a huge surprise.
  20. Mike Pettine is 100% to blame for the Browns loss today. Brian Hoyer showed the previous 2 weeks that he took this team as far as he could and opposing defenses began to play against him much better with more game tape to watch. He went from not costing the team and allowing them to win that way to being the outright reason they have been losing or struggling. He did not deserve to start today and Pettine starting him was asking to lose the game before it began. Unfortunately it kills any realistic chance at a playoff berth and is a big black mark on Pettine's first year as a HC but hopefully he learns from his mistake going forward and Manziel shows something these final 3 weeks. It's a shame because the defense played incredible against the Colts and Luck today but a coaching blunder was too much to overcome.
  21. They didn't even win their conference outright. Not playing a Big 12 title game killed both TCU and Baylor. Co-Champions didn't mean as much as outright Champion.
  22. Didn't work out like I figured but OSU getting in was the obvious choice. Their resume was better and demolishing a good Wisconsin team put them over the edge. Can't wait for Saban vs Meyer!
  23. OSU is going to jump TCU (Baylor is too probably) and I think we will see OSU vs Oregon in the Rose Bowl as the 3 vs the 2 (classic Pac 12 vs Big Ten matchup) and Bama vs FSU in the Sugar Bowl as the 1 vs the 4 (short travel distance for both). It puts the 4 best teams in place and assures that the fans will be there for the games.
  24. It's a classic example of a guy having too much power. Flip Saunders the coach and Flip Saunders the GM are clashing. The best thing to do is what you said and play the young guys and as a GM he's done good to put that talent together but as a coach he wants to win now so he plays the guys he thinks can do that. It's a really bad situation to give a guy like that so much power.
  25. The problem with a bigger playoff format is that it dilutes the regular season. There is no better regular season in any sport than College Football's as it is essentially a playoff in itself. If you make it a 16 team playoff then you significantly weaken the games that matter right now. For example, tonights game between Arizona and Oregon could be for a playoff spot....if it was a 16 team playoff, this game would mean very little because both are already in. Same goes for Bama-Missouri, and FSU wouldn't need a win tomorrow to make it in. It's just not a good idea in my mind to expand the playoff beyond 4 teams because I love the College Football regular season and I do not want to see a big playoff format making that obsolete. I know the idea of deciding it on the field in a playoff is intriguing in theory, but the regular season already does that.
