I'd just like to take this time to point out that outside of college football fans, current students of the University of Texas and Vanderbilt, and the alumni of those schools, the vast majority of the United States is unaware that Arch played very well this Saturday. Just saying.

Yes, nobody outside the very politically online knew that there was important democrary taking place tonight.
So much, so, that citizens of a deep red state contacted their state reps wondering why they weren’t voting and everyone else was not realizing their state isn’t in an election season or a special election.
Let's assume the original premise was correct. The only people that were aware of any of these elections were the people of those states and a very small minority online.
What would we need to be "politically honest" about? The NYC mayoral election holds less weight? California being able to re-district for the upcoming 2028 election is no longer a valid win for the democrats?
Sounds like someone trying to act like they're playing 5D chess and the rest of us are too stupid to realize it.

Of course would’ve loved a sweep in Toronto, but we did what we needed to, got the split and took home field back to LA.
So did the Blue Jays in all likelihood. Asking for anything more than a split from Yesavage and Gausman wasn't realistic. They also have proof of concept that they can hit the Dodgers bullpen.
Asking to get 1 of 3 in LA is also reasonable. See if they can get it back to Toronto and hope for some real luck.

Best case for the Warriors regarding Steph returning is maybe game 5 at the earliest?

I'm not trying to be glib, but it's hard to even fathom how Houston lost this game. Got toasted by GPIII.
Jimmy Butler school of dark arts. The role players on his teams seem to overperform at a significantly higher clip than expected in the playoffs.

Browns needed a backup in case Dillon Gabriel gets hurt.

To acknowledge that Playoff Jimmy is absolutely a thing is also acknowledging that he's taken off virtually every regular season of his career.
And no one but the guy cutting the checks (might) care. Ever since LeBron went to Miami (at least for me), the point has been hammered home tome and again that if you can be counted on to show up for the playoffs, I really don't give a shit unless your team doesn't make it.
Regular season record usually doesn't matter much when the top players actually show up for all the games.

none of the twolves are serious people they will never win anything of consequence
Ant and others still have plenty of time to become "serious people" to go along with the insane talent. KAT on the other hand is unlikely to change, but that's the Knicks problem now.

Warriors with 14 more 3 point attempts, getting out rebounded by 11 and doubled Memphis’ ft attempts 30-15.
Butler has more ft attempts than the entire Memphis team.

Yes, reluctantly because 1) my vote doesn't matter because I live in California, and 2) I knew she didn't do enough to win. I normally don't vote in the presidential elections because California doesn't matter in our stupid electoral system, but this time I did.
While I absolutely disagree with this logic, I see why you might look at it that way, and it's largely a non-issue, because California (and about 40 other states).
That said, you also had another post where you also raised the reluctance to support Kamala because you felt she didn't do enough to win, and because you didn't think rural America would vote for her. Those types of things seem better suited any discussion prior to her actually getting the democratic nomination. Once that happened, I don't see how reluctance to vote for her because of those issues matter any more. Your choices at that point were vote Harris, vote Trump, don't vote, and I guess vote green party or something.

You mean an American?
That's the part of the post you found most interesting? How about the whole "I reluctantly voted for her because I knew Trump would be worse." Congrats, he might not get a complete F in common sense, now show the work explaining why the Harris platform was so shitty, the only reason the lever got pulled for her was because Trump was the other option.

He had a bad couple of classes. It happens. 30 years, 11 conference titles, 8 final fours and a national championship. The numbers bear out a story pretty similar to the one you're belittling. His teams compete for the tournament every single year, a conference title and final four roughly once every 3 years, and a national championship once every 6-7 years. They are not Duke. They are not Kansas. Otherwise...not too shabby.
Also here is a reminder that Cassius Winston was going to win a National Championship in 2020 but the tournament was cancelled.
Career-wise, Izzo is a notch or two below K, Roy Williams, Self, etc...I am by no means belittling his body of work. I do take issue with the whole "Izzo magic" at this point given the recent history. Yeah he can throw together a great team every once in awhile, but outside of those outliers, it seems like he's lost his fastball in terms of getting more out of less.
And it's not just Izzo. I thought for years the last 7-8 years of K's career he just managed to pull in top recruiting classes and the talent gap did most of the work where earlier in his career it seemed like the Duke players grew their games under his coaching.

They just won the B10.
Yes they did, after 4 years of pure mediocrity. Izzo didn't earn his rep being above average once every five years (and we've yet to see how the 1 plays out in the postseason). Maybe that would be fine if he were starting out and building MSU from rock bottom, but they're supposed to be a tier or two below perennial contenders, not one year out of five look like a team that should make it past the round of 32.

Tom Izzo is a damned magician. What he does every year is amazing.
15-13, 23-13, 21-13, 20-15 the previous 4 years till now. He hasn't gone full Mack Brown yet, but all this "you don't want to see a Tom Izzo team in March/Tom Izzo is a magician" narrative is purely coasting on legacy until proven otherwise at this point.

He absolutely would, but it'd be a Kevin Keatts situation. It's uncomfortable, but this is why the "ideal" is a Woodson/Hamilton situation where you announce Terry is done after the season but he finishes the year out so you can't have Haith steal the job with a miracle run.
Didn't Keatts have something in his contract where his tourny run last year automatically extended it?
-
If nothing else, Pittsburgh just made it more expensive for Cincinnati to re-sign Chase.

Metcalf to Steelers for a 2. Steelers extend him 5-$150mm.
4-year/$132 million extension after his current contract that pays him $18 million this year. Fuck ESPN and their misleading headlines.

So is GS gonna have like 130,000,000 tied into Butler and Curry in a few years as a pair of senior citizens?
Was there a realistic chance for GS to sufficiently re-tool over the next 1.5 seasons before Curry goes into the final year of his contract? Very doubtful. Might as well give this route a shot if ownership is willing to accept the payroll.

SMU proving they don’t belong.
No worries, their boosters will write another big check to make sure they can stay.

^ Guess you didn't read much further down.
That was reported by many.
Yeah, that offer did get reported by a number of respectable sources today. Yesterday however, it seemed like the few places you could find that were your typical pro-Yankee mouthpieces. For a while there, it seemed like Cashman/Steinbrenner were just throwing that out in public so they couldn't be accused of being cheap.

Yankees alleged final offer was $760 million over 16 years.

I get the whole resume argument, and Bama did shit the bed this year when they shouldn't have, but does anyone actually think SMU is better than the Tide? I'd bet the house on Bama rolling SMU.
I'd expect Bama to roll SMU as well, but this is the equivalent of arguing over being the last team out in the March Madness bracket. Don't shit the bed repeatedly and it wouldn't be a discussion.

Watching this, Boise is gonna get their shit pushed in in their only game in the CFP. Congrats Boise, you’re getting one of ND, Oregon, Penn State, Texas, all of which stop the run.
25 carries for 192 and 3TDs for Jeanty in Eugene earlier this year. Not saying they wouldn't have a tougher time running against those teams, but declaring they'll get blown out seems entirely premature.

Election Day 2025

Probably more like University of Florida fans right now. Could your school screw up the coaching hire again? Absolutely. But if the alternative was keeping Sunbelt Billy around for another 1.5 seasons, you're thrilled.
