    Another recruiting tool for coach Fleck? The city of Minneapolis?

    That is one of the Fringe benefits of Vision Zero. They will not fix streets without redesign. I have only met one person that approves of vision zero. Problem I see is nationally, we are ten years in and deaths have only went up in Every City that adopted the policy. Some have set records...

    PP pre-season conversation with Medved

    Not specifically. Just generally. He wants interchangeability of players. Article mentioned Johnson’s offense could stagnate; medved won’t tokerate. Medved will put in offense, before Defense. Which I think is opposite of CBJ.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    Dang, you stole my angle. Well played sir. I was thinking, they’ll use him to sit courtside across from the opponent, and just smile - for 2 and a half hours.

    Even IU has issues?

    So glad you said that, I thought ny dentist might have been perverted; glad he’s not. I don’t like the extra charge for the lube. Says my cheap insurance doesn’t cover it, so I always need cash.

    Player NIL and TAXES!

    If I recall correctly is was a 3 part test. 1) you can expect but not require participation in the sport. 2) cant cancel it 3) they can’t have any other conditons of service in The event of nonperformance (note: this is suspect in my memory). I think its similar to this though. So you can’t...

    Player NIL and TAXES!

    it is kind of a wink wink deal with the IRS. obviously its pay for play, but they put it in there saying it wasn't. Unless of course they do receive pay, or the Sport is "required." Reminds me of another weird example we went over in Tax class: In 1998 McGwire/Sosa HR chase. One...

    Player NIL and TAXES!

    There can be no requirement to play the sport. That was the rule for years. Perhaps, its changed and granted it may have been 15-20 years since I looked. Room and board are not qualified education expenses. They are and always have been taxable. My guess is you're misunderstanding that...

    Player NIL and TAXES!

    First NIL needs to be defined. If it is true purpose - in Exchange for name, image, likeness and there is a real contract then it is just included in Student’s gross income. Scholarship would remain the same. Now with a collective, that is where the details matter. I would doubt they meet the...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I’d be for it if they advertised and forced the NBA to address it. It ruins players and the game. I watch significantly less ball. Only way Embid ever led the league in scoirng. Only way Lebron set the points record.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Tatum, Embid do too. Except SGA is good at it. I give him credit for selling well. This discussion comes up everytime we play them.

    Gregg Popovich - Steps Down as HC

    There's that trademark emotional insecurity. I don't need to prove you wrong. You do that all by yourself. Don't worry someday, AI will improve, then you'll be able to talk to the big kids.

    Fess Up: Hardcover, Paperback, Audio Book, or Kindle/e-book?

    Do they make these as readers? Just started finding low light reading getting difficult. And to your OP, as an avid reader. I agree with the hardcover. Paperback is acceptable, if it is substantially cheaper, or hard to get a hardcover. I will not personally use kindle. I will buy books I want...

    Gregg Popovich - Steps Down as HC

    Except the OP was not speaking about a genereic number 1 pick; the OP was, speaking about specific number one picks. No one in the world would have said Tim Duncan was a stupid pick. Even if he didn’t turn out. He was still clearly the best one to pick number one that year. David Robinson had...

    Gregg Popovich - Steps Down as HC

    Interesting you pick those 3 as examples. Yes they all sucked, but all 3 were surprise picks. And all were widely panned. Only Kandi was even on the radar for #1 pick. Bennet and Brown drew massive criticism from the get go. Tim Duncan was the obvious pick. He was considered better than...

    Interesting baseball stats

    Hopefully it’s the curse of the Black Sox! They tarnished our game. Landis’ punishment kept the curse off; now it is back!

    Rutgers

    Ace Bailey did not meet the hype. Harper looks like he is the real deal. Will put in the work. Bailey is certainly talented, but perhaps he hasn’t figured out professionalism yet. I think Harper certainly knows what he needs to do.
