He's 5'10". Maybe he could be a quick n shifty point guard for the Knicks? The dude is helluva of athlete, so who knows.

Well, it is gamble on his part. He is building up a nice history of leg injuries and once those begin, there will be more to follow. However, if he can play the full season, get those 100+ points that we all know he can get, then ka-ching. But if he can't, oh boy, he left a ton of money on the table.

As a Pack fan, this whole circus is pretty hilarious and kind of reminiscent of the Prime circus that rolled into Boulder a few years ago just to have pretty meh teams. But hey, lotsa merch being sold which, in the end, is all that really matters.

I haven't listened to that one yet, but the guys do talk about things. Mostly about coming up in baseball, but if they're enough of a character, they'll get into the good stories.

He's been awesome for the Hurricanes and the Caniacs. Our team is now a perennial playoff monster that just hasn't been able to win it all, but man, it was a dark journey to get here. I don't remember the 20teens and nor do I want to. Absolute dreck. Also, he could've been more like David Tepper. whew!
It seems that he has a thing for teams that are red, black, and white and have cyclone-shaped logos.

How's the bus/rail system in downtown Ottawa?
People that live in Raleigh are pining for a downtown hockey arena, but since there is no rail service and a bus service that is somehow worse than the rail situation, I would probably never go to another game. Since at least half of all in attendance don't live in Raleigh itself and most of those that do, live quite a ways from downtown, so it would be a nightmare to get in and out of the arena in a car. Besides, it would mean the death of our awesome tailgate culture that we have going on.

Amazing. And that explains a Bluesky post that I saw yesterday, something along the lines of "takes a drag off a smoke, tells the QB: just get me to our 45 yard line" My internal reaction was that this idiot poster doesn't know the difference between "our" side of the field vs "their" side of the field. Who's the idiot poster now? (me. the answer is me.)
posted by NoMich at 11:11 AM on August 10, 2025
Yeah, he looked good against a terrible defense that should make mediocre QBs around the league look good. He got over that low bar with no problem. So good for him.
I know I'm sounding sarcastic here, but I really am rooting for the kid. I think it would be quite the story if he was the one to lead the Browns to the Super Bowl (but lose to the Lions).

Funny thing is, we already have a cricket field that is the size required to international matches. Problem is, there's hardly any seating and I don't think there's enough space to add more. If we want big time international matches here in the Triangle, this stadium in Chapel Hill needs to be built.

I abhor violence but I hate puffed up blowhards that are always itching for a fight, so yeah, this made me laugh. "Listen, just don't get into it with anyone these days because you don't know who is packing heat now." Needs to be updated with "...you don't know who is packing heat now or is a hockey player with a wicked sense of humor."

Last night's selection of a Tar Heel was the school's first 1st rounder since 2021. Meanwhile, Jon Scheyer gets 3 in the top 10.
One of our local sports pundits here in the Triangle is predicting a career for Cooper Flagg that looks like Christian Laettner's NBA career. 13 seasons, 13 points/game, 7 rebounds/game, 2.5 assists/game. That's a nice career.

Carlos Alcaraz beats Janek Sinner in five sets after dropping the first two sets to win the longest (and some say best) French Open Men's Final ever played.
It was a match for the ages. Really, it was. Sinner had 3 or 4 championship points in the 4th set, but couldn't convert. That's when Carlos just took over. That's not to say that Sinner rolled over and played dead; no, far from it. Incredible match that had me, Mr Casual Tennis Fan, on the couch since set 4. Incredible come from behind victory.

I didn't mind it either and I 100% understand why they did it. I still remember how small our cathode ray tube TVs were back in the '90s and the puck was hard to keep up with if you weren't used to the flow of an NHL game.

Question for the hockey experts: If a player commits a penalty and the opponent scores on the ensuing Power Play, does their personal +/- take a ding even though they weren't on the ice?
If a team on the power play scores a goal, there is no + and - given to anyone. If, on the other hand, the shorthanded team scores a goal, then a + and - is given.
