  1. User name definitely checks out. Get help.
  2. Thanks, there is one of those stores just a few blocks up from me. I’ll check it out
  3. I married into an LSU family, and all of my in laws want their permanents to be “original 10” schools. They view Arkansas and A&M as manufactured rivalries, and would prefer Ole Miss, Florida, and either Bama or Auburn. I suspect they will be disappointed.
  4. Yeah, I know I’m starting to age out of my neighborhood in lower Manhattan because my local watering holes look like a Clueless recasting after 10pm.
  5. Is there a consensus on quality dark jeans that are neither cut too skinny nor too dad jean, without any sort of branding on the back pockets? Does such a thing exist? 511 Levi’s are a bit too skinny, 501s a bit too billowy. It used to be the norm to show up to client dinners in a suit, which I prefer, but post pandemic almost everyone seems to be wearing jeans on a regular basis. Edit to add: by “quality” I don't mean some concrete rigid Japanese denim I have to wear every day unwashed for 3 years before they look like an actual pair of blue jeans.
  6. My AU buddy seems to think they are getting Vandy as a permanent to counterbalance Alabama and Georgia. In the alternative I guess they get LSU, in which case, ouch.
  7. OU and Arkansas have such little history compared to A&M and Arkansas, I don’t really understand the rationale there. A&M and OU at least have Big 12 overlap, but I’m guessing A&M throws a fit to avoid that.
  8. It’s painfully obvious it should be Texas: OU, Ark, A&M A&M: Texas, Ark, LSU Ark: Texas, A&M, LSU OU: Texas, Missouri, who gives a shit
  9. Interior defensive line needs to be priority 1, 2 and 3. Hitting the SEC in 2024 with what we have in the pipeline behind Sweat, Collins and Broughton is no bueno unless multiple guys dramatically out perform their ranking.
  10. Great rec. I picked up a few and these have been my winter rotation. Easy free and quick delivery to New York too. Why Dubarry instead of C&J?
  11. McCabe and Mrs. Miller
  12. Passing on Wagner was insane at the time, and even crazier in retrospect.
  13. Turning the 2nd pick into 5 seconds in less than three years is not great, Bob. Of course taking Kuminga over Wagner was even worse (even at the time). A championship takes the sting off two whiffs I suppose.
  14. Exactly one poster said he was washed, and that was called out as a stupid take. Everyone else has said he’s a supremely talented shit head, which hasn’t changed. It has everything to do with basketball, because availability and desire to play actually matters when the goal is winning a championship.
  15. Definitely seems like a role worth 30% of your cap and 4 first round picks (3 of which are unprotected). A winning recipe to be sure.
  16. An unprotected first for a losing player like Russell seems crazy, especially since it doesn’t make them competitive in the west. Like what’s the point? But maybe they just desperately needed to rid themselves of Russ. Edit: just saw it’s got some protections, so that helps.
  17. 100% this. FM is incredible. The Square is good. Triangle of Sadness is boring and has nothing of interest to say.
  18. And then 12 months later he forced a trade to Boston. And then the next season he had a season ending injury. And then the next season he quit on the Celtics during a 4-1 ass kicking. And then the next season he had a season ending injury. And then the next season he missed the final 3 games of the 7 games series against Milwaukee. And then the next season he opted to quit on his team rather than being vaccinated, although he was reliable enough to make it back for a 4 game sweep by the Celtics. And then this season he was suspended and forced another trade. This is such a laughably asinine take on Kyrie’s “problem” I assume even you don’t believe it. KD and Harden must have telepathically blown up all of his other seasons. No, Kyrie’s problem is of the deeply personal variety. Look at that, you finally stumbled on the right conclusion. Whether Kyrie has top 10 talent in his body isn’t even a debate worth having. He will flame out here like everywhere else.
  19. Yes everyone remembers MJ famously backing down the shorter, skinnier John Stockton time and time again for the And 1, right? No, because that didn’t happen. MJ would get his, Steph would get his, Durant would get his. That’s what happens when you are a Top 15 player of all time. But more often than not the Warriors’ are worth 3 and the Bulls’ are worth 2.
  20. Do the Bulls get the benefit of analytics, or is Phil Jackson rolling out the (now) antiquated triangle, forcing touches to Bill Cartwright, etc? No definitive answer to this question, largely due to the time gap. Both teams are fucking incredible. If you dropped both teams in a gym playing their same game plan, I give Warriors an edge under either rule sets. But the Bulls have MJ, so who knows.
  21. To your point, there are probably 30 players Cuban would immediately trade Kyrie for if given the opportunity. And it’s Cuban, so he’d probably throw in a couple unprotected firsts, too.
  22. Ah, now it all makes sense. You don’t actually watch NBA games.
