That seems about right to me. I'd probably change the order of the bottom four: 7 Missouri 8 Florida 9 South Carolina 10 A&M

Where do these numbers come from?

I'm interested in this NIL talk that keeps popping up here. Are the people saying this relatives of players who think they aren't getting enough? Texas obviously spent well in the portal this past offseason.

The Quinn revisionist stance by many Texas fans is somewhat baffling. Quinn can make every throw. As Gerry always says, Sark doesn't take a QB that can't make all the throws. Quinn's inconsistency on longer throws comes from his inconsistent mechanics and footwork. Dropping the ball below chest level, not keeping his feet ready for all throws, trying to rely solely on his arm talent, etc. He could get away with that on short to intermediate throws, although he would sometimes sling the ball rather than driving it on those throws too, which led to some of his interceptions. At the beginning of seasons, his mechanics and footwork were better. As the season went along and he got dinged up, his fundamentals would slide. Scouts and GMs must decide if they think they can straighten out those things. If they think they can, then Quinn is as good or better than QB in this draft. Problem is, he hasn't done it yet. He is only 21, however.

Old enough to remember my second favorite Arch song.

I'm thinking Luka will probably pack in 15k-20K calories during the Super Bowl while Mavs fans think about what they're missing.

I saw more missed dunks and missed layups in three games yesterday than I've seen in 300 games over thirty years.

Every NBA champion is elite, That doesn't make them one of the greatest of all time. What are we talking about? Furthermore, I don't give a damn what a media outlet says.

Elite ain't one of the greatest all time. Get a grip.

Fat boys says: We talkin about pratice.

NBA media and fans are by far the dumbest set of both on the planet.

Drew might be ready to rethink his situation.

The first ten minutes of last night's game was embarrassing. Just another straw.

Hard to see the freshmen taking snaps from Burke and Vasek. Does this mean Vasek's injury is likely to keep him out?

Fat boy Luka ain't Bird.

We all need to pray for Johntay. I hope gets right and makes the NFL.

Well said. This reminds me of the Sixers with Iverson, who at least won an illegitimate MVP. Got lucky and made a Finals run. The fanbase loved Iverson because of the highlight crossover and tremendous athleticism. Problem was, he was a terrible leader because he didn't like to "practice" and was therefore inconsistent most of the time in clutch situations. Meanwhile, Kobe (who was drafted the same year 1996) loved to "practice" and won three straight titles while Iverson couldn't decide to work hard enough. Kobe had Shaq. True, but he worked; and he worked his way to titles without Shaq. History proves you better drop the putzes who don't want to work. The Lakers are the idiots here.

The virtue signaling among Mavs fans on this deal is amusing. The guy is twenty-five years old and you haven't been able to convince him to straighten up. At what point do you think he is likely to adopt the proper mentality of a professional athlete? The obvious answer is probably never. There might be a one in five chance that he works it out. Those aren't good odds.

The Beard domestic drama is the killer. Beard quickly turned things around and had the program headed toward a consistent sweet 16 level. When it went down, I didn't think the administration made the right decision in firing Beard. Can't undo it. It's obvious they're treading water until they get tired and sink with Terry.

I'd bet Ewers will be a better pro than McCoy or VY.

Make that three MVPs. Plus the Bucks made another Finals appearance. Kareem was already widely regarded as one the three greatest players to ever play at that time (along with Wilt and Russell). Was Kareem a fatty?

Kareem had won two MVPs and a title by 1975. Do you guys know basketball history?

You are saying the 2024 Celtics are one of the greatest teams of all time? That's more than a little bit of a stretch. I can't remember an all time great player that couldn't be counted on to stay in shape by the time he was 25. Shaq had problems in his early 30s, but not when he was 25.

Listening to Luka fans is like listening to Aggies. Never really won anything, but they think they're great because of hype, potential and money.

The reference fantasy ball is appropriate here.
