Nothing makes my heart sing like "Alabama losing streak."

AND WE LOST BOTH I will say we may have ruined a Heisman Candidacy but it wasn't a good couple of weeks, I do have hope. Unless...I heard that Peterson is out at UW and I don't want them to poach our coach.

Well we have a 3 game win streak and Melo got player of the week. Which is weird. Read that the viewership on the NBA is way down this year so the "The NBA is better when the Lakers are good" and "James Harden is the best scorer since Michael Jordan" narratives are not translating in to more viewers. It's kind of too bad, given this season's topsy-turvy nature has been really fun. I'm enjoying seeing the box scores again and checking out who is doing what.

Bengals are 1-11 now? What are they trying to lose the #1 pick for the guy who busted his hip?

Both can be true!

Beavers are 5-5. We won 35-34 last night, our woeful defense stopping ASU's 2 point conversion then our offense lead by a 6th year senior went for it on 4-2 to maintain possession and run out the clock. This has been an at times delightful and often harrowing season. Coach Smith has shown in 2 years that he can handle the offense, our defense made some improvement I believe but given we always seem to give up big plays it's a measured improvement to be sure. Still, better than the sinking feeling that we aren't going anywhere.

Well you are getting up in years.

So.... the last guy to swing a helmet did so at Richie Incognito in 2017...had a history of beefs with Richie and it was way more likely that he was more than reacting. Antionio Smith got ...*checks notes* a 1 regular season game ban. (and the final 2 pre season games.) I'm assuming this clearly insufficient punishment happened because the pearl clutchers in the NFL head office couldn't be bothered to watch a pre-season game? I know Smith missed. That could be it, but he also had a beef with Richie, clearly attacked him two or three more times. Rudolph took exception to a rough tackle near the end of the game (after the play whistled dead) went for two nut shots and then attacked a guy being held back and got hit. Then his team gang tackled the dude and stepped on him. Only one guy was given suspension. And he was the "Kick him in the head" guy. Oh and Antonio Smith is black and Richie was white. So for once, the disparity in punishments seems more, "Protect the QB" rather than overt racism. Though clearly could be both. But as Burfect can attest, Roger Goodall is a bitch.

THANKS! I WANNA DIE

Pats lost but not badly enough to kill my Fantasy League. It was a squeaker but I'll take it.

I guess that gives Pittsburgh fans something to smile about.

I'm not ready for the York conglomerate to have a good team. Someone beat the 49ers.

for whom?

What kind of trade you offering?

Anyone want a Kirk Cousins?

The problem is that the perpetual money machine isn't perpetual. there's a limit to how much a fan base can pay to support a franchise. And the greed that drives things like swapping cities or at the very least stadiums every decade is all focused at the top. ownership will milk every last cent out of fans, break every last player and when no one is paying they will move on to something else, leaving only the employees to deal with the debris. Anyone who claims they've lost money as a sports owner in the NBA, MLB, or NFL in let's say the last 20 years is selling you a bill of goods. if the worst franchise can now sell for billions...they're not losing money.

Anyone else noticed that Jacoby Brissette and Teddy Bridgwater have more than held their own as replacements for Luck and Brees?

it's not just China. Though they've got the centralized power. Most megacorps are well on their way to our cyberpunk dystopic futures. Just look at all the things nestle owns. But this is a basketball thread! I'm wondering if the Lakers are going to implode harder than Houston.

yeah, he's not one of the athletes I worry will end up destitute due to bad decisions with money. Actually it's kind of nice seeing the number of superstars who seem to have that finally covered.

yeah that's a disappointing comment. But one you'd expect from a business.

I miss that too.

Money!

Knowing my karma I'll get obliterated. My RB have under-performed every game. And their projections weren't good. I can't bank on 2-3 players every week.
