I had the opportunity to take in the final in person. It was truly a spectacle and the energy throughout the match was unlike any sporting event I’ve attended. England fans outnumbered Spains by a good 3 or 4 to ratio, but the Spanish section brought the energy all match long. When the final whistle sounded, the vibe from the English section was like someone had just died.

Someone please post all of Chris Paul’s “winning” that he can use to transfer knowledge to the young players on this team? Do you want them taught how to make it to the Conference Finals once in your career over the course of almost 20 years?
What a stupid fucking take. We have a first ballot HOF head coach that has won five titles, so we're sure as fuck not bringing in Chris Paul because we lack someone capable of teaching teams how to win.
At this point I'm just happy at the thought of having someone that can model how to throw lob passes and run the god damn pick and roll at a reasonably high level.

Y'all are tripping. Do you want the Spurs to get better or not? He's going to be a valuable add to the locker room and we' re gonna get way more out of him than he'll get out of us. He's gonnal be super helpful for Castle's long term development and understanding of the game at this level.

It sounds like we’re getting a protected first in fucking 2031 and then there is a pick swap option for 2030.
That’s pretty wild. I get having a long term lens but I don’t love that. I know this isn’t a deep draft but this doesn’t feel like the optimal outcome.

I’m down. I like the commitment to D. That’s the right mindset to play for Pop.

They gave Maresca a 5 year deal with an option for a 6th, which I find completely hilarious. I’m sure there are clauses that will let both sides exit early once we’re ready to run him off in 2026.

Fuck. I’d say “unbelievable” but sadly this is very easy to believe. What a fucking beating it’s been following this club as of late.

I picked up one of the higher proof RC16's and it was severely over oaked. I disliked the first pour but came back to it 2 weeks later to give it another shot. I couldn't even finish that pour, and I never pour whiskey down the drain.
All I am saying is that YMMV on that one. Given the price point, I'd want much more of a sure thing.

Welcome back, Reece.

Great job guys. We kept Arsenal off the scoreboard for a good 4 minutes.....

These owners made a bunch of bad decisions in the transfer market and now they'll end up sacking a fairly quality manager because they have no other option to keep fans hopeful. It's really hard to see any sort of path out of the woods that isn't 3+ seasons away.

This fucking team. I swear. They are just allergic to any kind of prosperity.

Neighbor has the Sinatra. It’s unremarkable. I’d pass on all three, but the MWND is probably the best combo of good product at a price that’s not terribly out of line.

The JD pick is about $20 higher than MSRP and the Kentucky Spirit pick is $15 higher.
So? Inflation has been high and everything is more expensive in general. Not to mention that liquor stores know that whiskey demand is showing no signs of slowing down. Which is something you validated by still buying at those prices. -
How is $75 cute? Because it’s not a round number? Would you feel better if they charged $80?

Speaking of our amazing owners, looks like they made another outstanding hire:
https://theathletic.com/5251686/2024/02/05/todd-kline-tottenham-chelsea/
Tottenham Hotspur’s chief commercial officer Todd Kline has resigned from his post and, after a period of gardening leave, will join Chelsea.
Kline joined Spurs three years ago, with one of his main aims to secure naming rights for the stadium. As the “About Me” section of his LinkedIn page says: “Tottenham have appointed a former NFL executive as the club’s first chief commercial officer to aid the search for a lucrative naming-rights partner for their stadium.”
He leaves with that not having happened, and on Monday morning Spurs put a statement on their website saying: “Todd Kline has resigned from his post at the club and has been placed on a period of garden leave with immediate effect.”
Kline instantly set about raising standards after being appointed, but a number of members of the commercial department left following his arrival. Some left without jobs to go to, and as The Athletic reported last year, there were question marks about his leadership.
Kline’s new role at Chelsea has not yet been confirmed but it will be a senior position within the business operations.[/spolier]

The faces of the fans at The Bridge say it all.

Downs’ agent was negotiating with Ohio State before he ever entered the portal. Georgia got involved. Texas is being mentioned as a negotiating tactic. I don’t think Texas is working on this one. Maybe something is happening late with Texas, but I doubt it.
Expect Texas to be mentioned in every high profile portal situation, but don’t take anything seriously unless a player actually visits.
That exact strategy has been de rigueur in European Soccer transfer negotiations for the last decade plus. Come to think of it, the combination of NIL and the transfer portal is pushing college football squarely into a transfer market operating model, except that teams are getting no financial upside when star players move on.

If true, seems a little underwhelming when the $9.95 reports have been "a hire on the level of a Bo Davis".
Yeah. It’s so unlike that crowd to hype things up.-

All things being equal, I’d rather attend the Euro final over the Super Bowl any day. So yeah, I was in heaven. The fact that it counted as a “work trip” was the ultimate cherry on top.
