NBA 2022-2023 Season Thread
And somehow that Duncan Robinson contract might be even worse for Miami.

2023 Final Four general thread
He's got plenty of time to cash in. Shaka cashed in on that Final Four appearance 5 years later.

How many of you carry ?
Agree on the options. Are of them are slanted one way. I get not wanting to CR it up, but there's no need to go out of your way to pacify one side, i.e. "No, but not against it." Just stick to yes/no or purely situational. Yes. All the time. Yes, but not all the time. No, but have one/more in the house/car. No. That's it.

How many of you carry ?
Kind of loaded options there. "No, I'll take my chances if something happens?" Way to present the option as you're taking some moderate chance of something bad happening because you don't have a firearm with you. Going by that type of logic, I should put a roll cage in the car because otherwise "I'll take my chances if something happens."

Fat People
To be fair, it's not like the "calories in < calories out fatass" crowd is completely wrong...they're just not helpful at all when they try to present it so simplistically. Yes, you will lose weight if you ate less calories/better and exercised more. That doesn't cover a wide variety of shit like what calories you are consuming, and as you and others have pointed out, also eating enough calories so that your body doesn't go into survival mode and hoard every single calorie because you're running a huge deficit. That includes being able to snack sometimes if you are legitimately hungry, just make sure it's something healthy and not some chips/candy.

Starvation also isn't a long term solution, or even middle term solution because it's so disheartening to be hungry all the time and because you're on one of those plateaus you still don't drop much, if any weight. No one's going to put up with being hungry/starving all the time even if they see some weight loss, let alone if the number isn't moving.

No carbs or sugar there. Fred also worked in a rock quarry all day, threw another rock around whenever he went bowling, and had to run with that stupid car to get it started. And he still wasn't skinny.

2023 NCAA Men's Final Four
Basketball fans in America: "I love March Madness!* *So long as it doesn't last more than 3 rounds and doesn't effect my team. Because then I refuse to watch and will make fun of ratings.** **Previous 3-round rule not in effect if it gives my team a championship on a silver platter.

2023 NCAA Tournament - Elite 8
To be honest, I have no idea. I don't know exactly when each school got it's Blue Blood status. I just know that by the time I was old enough to understand the concept of Blue Blood schools in a sport (mid-to-late 90s), UCLA, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, and Indiana were generally considered to be in that tier. Personally, I don't really consider UCLA or Indiana Blue Bloods right now. But that's probably not a widely held opinion. To me, they're something like "Blue Bloods in hibernation" or "Legacy Blue Bloods." They need another title from this century to get that full status restored.

2023 NCAA Tournament - Elite 8
Maybe, but Blue Bloods are basically established via titles, not final fours, correct? Duke for example had a number of final fours in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, but they didn't get Blue Blood status until K won multiple (3+) titles. UCLA was THE Blue Blood by the time Wooden left, but have 1 title in 48 years since then, along with 4 other final four appearances. Would anyone say that gets a school Blue Blood status? If so, Syracuse is also a Blue Blood since Boeheim matched that in his tenure.

2023 NCAA Tournament - Elite 8
I'd say yes. 5 titles with 3 different head coaches in that scenario. Some bluebloods *cough, UCLA, cough* have done virtually nothing outside of one coach despite being given ample time.

2023 NCAA Tournament - Elite 8
Well yeah, I wouldn't expect UConn to be beating anyone else going forward by 30+ points with over 5 minutes left.

Please give Timme another easy dunk right here so he can talk shit again.

2023 NCAA Tournament - Elite 8
History repeating itself indeed. Gonzaga beats UCLA on a miracle/bad shot, the media starts saying this might be their year, then they promptly get the shit kicked out of them the next game.

2023 NCAA Tournament - First Round
Which means they'll lose tomorrow, and Shaka will get a nice path to the Final Four.

South already laid a pretty strong claim to the "chaos" region.

Selection Sunday Thread
Eh, I think this time around Duke might actually be peaking at the right time and has some matchups that should benefit them. Usually the pundits are just picking them Coach K and starting off the season ranked in/near the top-5 and basically held serve the whole season...which means now they'll just lose to Oral Roberts.

NCAA Basketball 2022-23
No Greensboro in the East Region, they'd be playing in Albany. If they want Greensboro, they'll have to go to the Mid-West region and probably have to deal with Kansas in KC if they make it that far.

NFL 2023 Offseason
The rule isn't just for fully guaranteed contracts. All guaranteed money in any contract needs to be placed into escrow upfront. NFL owners could change the rule on their own (it's not part of the CBA), but have no desire to since it gives them another angle to not hand out full guarantees.

Pitino maybe? Go back to the Big East in his last coaching stop.

4-year $160 million extension for Daniel Jones.

Nice way of saying the BIG is complete ass this year. One team with fewer than 8 conference losses/10 total losses in the regular season.

Super Bowl LVII: Chiefs vs. Eagles
Don't think he meant literal third step. Isnt' it: Secure ball. Two feet down. Complete a football move. before it can be called a fumble? Maybe they were saying he didn't complete a football move, i.e. finish the turn upfield?

Super Bowl LVII: Chiefs vs. Eagles
Hey, at least you might have a franchise qb going forward.
-
Super Bowl LVII: Chiefs vs. Eagles
Absolutely. Either the Chiefs or the Eagles get another Superbowl and Dallas gets another year of paying Zeke. I'm very bitter.
