Well that sucks. Poor kid.
Wembanyama had already taken 403 3-pointers and blocked 176 shots this season. No player in NBA history has ever finished a season with those numbers, and Wembanyama did it before the All-Star break.

Well, gotta say that game's opening was an embarrassment and it sucked all of the enthusiasm for the game right out of my house. Since MAGA jingoistic fever is about to openly grip our sports guys, maybe it's time to watch any old thing on TCM for a while.

USA v Canada tonight at 8PM EST! It'll air on ESPN/ABC in the states and probably on every single channel in Canada. I expect the boos heard during the US anthem will be about the loudest that crowd will be all night. (Can't say that I blame them)

As someone who had no dog in this hunt, it was an awful game to watch. Just so terrible. After Kendrick's half time show, I had to switch it off.

**angry confused yelling noises**
Honestly, I don't root for or against the Mavs, it's that whenever I watch a game of theirs I just want to watch a good basketball game, and we got that with Luka on the team. So yeah, even I am making **angry confused yelling noises** over this trade. I guess I need to jump on Bluesky to see if Mark Cuban is talking about this trade.

That game 7 between Atlanta and Minnesota in 1991 is probably the greatest game I've ever seen. I was rooting for the Twins just because of Jack Morris and he pitched all 10 dang innings. Incredible.
The Jack Morris look dominated among white suburban dudes around Detroit in the '80s and early '90s.
posted by NoMich at 05:56 PM on February 01, 2025
TIL that Jack Morris didn't start pitching for real until he got to college. He didn't pitch much at all before then and when he got to college, his coach informed him that he will not be a third baseman, but a full time pitcher. Wild given how kids specialize in single sport these days and their role is determined back in middle school.

They have only something like one week for this tournament, so to avoid stacking games upon games in a compressed time period, they need to narrow the the amount of teams.

Yeah, I'm seeing that sentiment quite a bit, but I'm pretty jazzed for it. I like international play when the best of the best of each country is playing. I understand why more nations cannot be involved in this particular tournament and that's a shame, but it should still be fun.

It absolutely was a good trade for Colorado. Martin Necas has a ton of talent, but maybe Rod Brind'Amour's system wasn't right for him. Speaking for myself, the dude is mostly razzle dazzle with the puck, but he can kinda be a turnover machine at the end of the razzle dazzle plays. But hey, being in a different system may tap into all of his potential.
Jack Drury will be one of those guys that won't get a lot of points, but is excellent everywhere else, and he'll probably be doing it for 20 years.

GM Eric Tulsky is saying how they are already in negotiations with Rantanen's agent, but will probably take a while to hammer out a deal. He's very optimistic right now. Us fans had a feeling something was going to happen because the team was making roster changes almost daily in an effort to free up what little cap space they had.
The Canes do have close to $40 million in cap space starting this summer and I don't think that's taking future cap space increases that will more than likely occur this summer into account.

Us Canes fans are all pretty much pooping ourselves from excitement over this trade. Sucks to lose Necas and Drury, but we're getting the best player of the trade. Plus, the Hurricanes have about $5,000,000,000 in cap space starting this summer so I can see them re-signing Rantanen to a huge deal. Plus, we got Taylor Hall pretty much for free.

A friend pointed this one out to me:
Bobby Hull debuted for the Black Hawks in 1957 and played for them through 1972. His brother Dennis also played for the Hawks, from 1964 through 1977. That's 20 consecutive seasons with a Hull brother on Chicago's roster.

Eric Staal is getting his jersey hoisted to the rafters for the Carolina Hurricanes this afternoon and this got me thinking:
Has there ever been another scenario like the Staal brothers with the Hurricanes? For the past 20 years, this team has had at least one player from the same family playing for them. In any sport?
