  1. 975 ESPN just buried Reed. Basically said he’s not a PG and can’t defend. And that the Rockets likely feel the same way as they moved him off ball last night and played almost exclusively zone defense to hide him when he was in the court. I’d say tap the brakes, he’s only 21, but if the Rockets aren’t going to play him at PG, I’m pretty concerned. He’s not tall enough to play another position.
  2. They need to figure out what they have before December 15th. I’d be fine with Holiday starting and playing 30 minutes in the next game. If they don’t want to try the Amen full time PG experiment, this is the next logical move.
  3. I think they need a real PG to get them into their into their half court offense. Any competent defensive team is going to do exactly what Dallas did last night. Double/trap Alpie and Durant as soon as they touch the ball. Both had to do some hero ball things to overcome this. Kind of a weird night. Amen didn’t bring the ball up much, and wasn’t the team’s primary ball handler. He played off ball and cut to the basket a ton. I hope he sticks with the 3 ball. He has to make it part of his game to take the next step. His form looks fine. Just keep taking shots.
  4. The NHL commercial was probably the second funniest sketch this season after Snack Homiez. The press conference was a very strong post Update sketch. I’d be interested to learn who wrote that.
  5. I think I’m one and done with 1792 Sweet Wheat. It just tastes like young 1792. Nothing special. I probably won’t revisit the NBC Stella’s Stash either. It’s printed nowhere on the bottle, but it’s almost certainly double oaked. It was darker than a cup of coffee. Just not my jam.
  6. Wheat and Double Oaked were pretty good. Need to circle back on the 8 year red label.
  7. I can’t believe the Social Work people went quietly. I assume they bought them off with a new building?
  8. McCollum is going to make $30 million this season and could be washed. I’d trade for Schroder. The Kings are completely regarded so they’ll probably eat most of his contract in exchange for a pick swap.
  9. Good win. Shot it like shit and still won.
  10. Russell going full SGA. Not even looking to shoot. Just looking to get his man in the air and draw contact on every play. This style of play is killing the league.
  11. Very shitty sequence for Reed. Missed 3, dribbles off his foot, chases it with a circus lay up attempt.
  12. I’ll ask the question, if DFS misses 20-30 games is a it a bad signing? They signed him to spell Durant and if he’s unavailable, where’s his value?
  13. Permian guys love to shit on the DJ because it’s not a crude play, yet deals like this keep happening. Chevron bought PDC in May 2023.
  14. Do you work for a ESPN talking head show? You just spent most of your post reasoning Notre Dame doesn’t have a quality win, but they have better losses than Texas. Texas has 2 top 10 wins. Wins matter. “Quality” losses are something that Joe Lunardi made up.
  15. Any DFS updates? The guy from The Athletic didn’t know shit, of course.
  16. Another day, another Athletic beat reporter that hates the Houston team he covers.
  17. Hartline has been calling plays since the 2024 CFP, right? If so, I don’t think PSU could do much better.
  18. No Jabari tonight. AD and Lively out for the Mavs.
  19. Yep. The last year a SEC team can hide and of course aggy is 8-0. I agreed with the scheduling formula while hating the 8 game conference schedule. This is an unfortunate result of the small schools bitching and moaning about maintaining bowl eligibility. I will give aggy credit for scheduling Notre Dame. That said, scheduling Samford is shameful.
  20. Wake Up Barstool is growing on me. Their college football recaps on Monday morning are worth your time. It’s about 30-40 minutes off T-Bob and Brandon Walker talking ball with Gruden and Greg Olsen. Portnoy is usually too hungover to say much unless fOSU or Michigan come up. Record it and fast forward through the other bullshit.
  21. SEC Shorts pulls too many punches for my liking. The only time they truly went in on a team is when Texas lost at home to Bama back in 2022. If team truly sucks it’s OK to say so and make fun of them. Instead, they tiptoed around the YouTube TV carriage issue. Plenty of meat on the bone elsewhere. Roll Call is much funnier and more honest.
  22. Gruden has been overly cute on Barstool when asked about it. I think his agent is reaching out to schools. That said, it feels like year 20 of Gruden is going to take a SEC job.
  23. Moscona says Lanning rejected LSU. And then they chased that with a Josh Brooks rejection. Also said the corn dogs reached out to Saban.
  24. Stunning statistic. Think about all the 3 and outs, short fields, and quick changes Auburn’s defense has dealt with. Durkin is a snake, but he can coach defense.
  25. Agreed. Indiana is good, but they’d be happy to be there. Cigs won’t, maybe the team won’t, but their fans will be happy to be there.
