I just saw one picture of Zion Williamson in shape and wasted $20 on an MVP future ticket at +10,000

A few of my critiques of Caitlin Clark from earlier in the season.

Getting to the basket more?......Check Being more of a passer first? ...... Check Shooting a few mid range jumpers?... Check The Caitlin Clark that was the college player of the year last season has finally arrived in the W. BTW she is still getting rocked once or twice a game just like every WNBA player. After being reacquainted with FIBA basketball for both the men and the women, I am now of the opinion that girls and women's basketball is called much more like the FIBA game for both the men and women while boys and men's basketball is called more like the NBA game.

ESPN has an article on the NBA asking the court to dismiss the TNT/Warner Brothers discovery, and lists all the changes that TNT/WBD made:
NBA files motion to dismiss Warner Bros. Discovery lawsuit - ESPN I think the lawsuit will survive the motion to dismiss (it's VERY hard to get the judge to agree that no reasonable person could consider this a match), but it sounds like NBA's trying to play hardball here. (Realistically, this is all a waiting game, WBD/TNT want lots of money to go away, and the NBA doesn't want to give lots of money. Neither side actually wants to go to trial)

Apparently Damien Lillard was/is training with the Goggins. Safe to say he's not likely to have any conditioning issues next year.

This is pretty amazing considering where they started at the begining of the season. It is also amazing how much I enjoy watching the WNBA, or specifically watching the Fever play.

Woj dropping the most massive Woj bomb today that he is retiring to go work for St Bonaventure. Helluva run.

I watched a little of the Fever but only because of Caitlin Clark. Lot's of YT out there pro Clark and negativity towards Reece and the culture (?) of the WNBA. So, what is the real story? |

Karl Anthony Towns vs. The NY media. The Knicks better not lose one game.

For the most part, you can watch the other players interact with Clark and see they get along. Most of it has been just click-farming. She has brought lots of eyes and people to the seats in the league, and players generally recognize that only means more money for everyone. As for Reece in particular, they are rivals. She and Clark have clashed all through college. She has made comments that she feels unjustly ignored at times because of Clark. Really, it could be a fun rivalry if they hadn't started making it about race and brought in the rage-farmers. Last edited by GrantDawg : 09-28-2024 at 12:52 PM. |

TIL Woj was making about $7 mil per year at ESPN when left to join the Bonnie's athletic department.

UK had Big Blue Madness tonight and the worst kept secret in Lexington was that Pitino was going to show up. Now, I get it - Pope is his guy from the 1996 championship team, Pope has been preaching "UK family" and nostalgia for the (mostly) pre-Calipari UK teams, and Pitino was due for a proper return to Lexington.
That said... dude is the current, active head coach at St. John's! When Pope was a candidate, Pitino came out in support of him. Totally understandable. When he was hired, he made some noise about donating to the program (OK?). Now, he's shown up for the start of UK's season - wearing UK blue. I assume St. John's blessed his appearance (or at least didn't say no), but I find this whole thing incredibly weird. He's acting like a retired coach "coming home" when in fact he's still a head coach - AND will be playing UK this year. I assume everyone here loved it, but I found it really awkward. St. John's fans/players cool with this?

Do they have a choice? Pitino may be a douchbag but he is also a hall of fame coach. If it bothers St. John's that much, they can fire Pitino. UK will demote Pope to lead assistant if they feel like being nice and then hire Pitino. Would St. John's prefer to be with a hall of fame coach who has a night out or two with one of his exes or would they prefer not to have that hall of fame coach?

Well, apparently I'm not alone in thinking that was ridiculous and embarrassing.

The rest of that tweet is - "Forced resignation for Pitino is on the table, among other possible sanctions for St. John’s, I’m told."

It was ridiculous, insulting to his players, and it's not like Pitino had any leverage to pull a stunt like that. The guy is 72 and damaged goods, or else he wouldn't be at St. John's. Programs aren't beating down his door to coach at their school at this point.

Another reason I stay away from Twitter these days. The reasons just keep piling up to delete the damn thing like I did FB a few years back.

I can understand it if St. John's wants to discipline him, but I don't see how the conference can do anything unless they have some sort of written rules.

Troll post aside, I can't see why it would be an issue for St. John's. It's not like he went back to Providence to celebrate his history with them. Providence is one of St John's conference rivals. He went to Kentucky under the invite of one of his former players who is now Kentucky's head coach to celebrate with other former players of his the achievements they all had at that school. If he had left Louisville to do this, I get everyone being upset. This is St John's and this ain't Louie Carnesecca's St John's program either. This is a St. John's program that signed a 70 year old coach with Pitino's baggage to a 6 year deal for $20 million total. That suggests he has a bit more leverage that we may think. Add to that a Pitino rant where he absolutely insulted his players telling them they were not good enough motivated a donor contribute some $10 million to the NIL fund. He might have taken the school private jet to Lexington.
