To my knowledge, the Bulls are the first NBA team since the Timberwolves, with a young Kevin Love, to consistently start 4 White athletes. After the deadline there was a gelling period to get through, but in the month of March the Bulls are 9-4! And they are not just beating up on bums. They...

Bigunreal / Mr Jeffries, welcome back! I always enjoyed your posts here and I’ve read articles of yours posted around the internet over the years too. Excellent idea for a book. I’m sure you’ll get a lot evidence shared by posters, myself included when I have the time. Regarding publishers...

Good hire for Iowa. I expect McCollum to have success while maintaining the good demographics. Bit disappointed that Freeman left, but Creighton is equally good with an easier path to the NCAA tournament every year.

NL lineups and rotation demographics. Braves only 3 of 9 but could bump to 4 when catcher Murphy is healthy. 4/5 rotation. Marlins 6 of 9 lineup and 3 of 5 rotation. Mets have weird opening day lineup of only 3 (or 4 with Torrens) of 9. Typically, and if healthy, expect 5. 4/5 rotation with a...

I’ll update to include SPs too.

Thanks guys. Here’s the AL breakdown. I’ll do the NL later. Orioles at 7/9 today and 8/9 when Henderson returns very soon. 4/5 rotation with the non being Japanese. Blue Jays have 5/9 counting Bichette and Kirk (White hispanic). 4/5 rotation. Rays are much improved with 6/9. 4/5 rotation...

Pretty sure he’s on X. Don’t know if he’s active or runs his account….

Giants are going to be terrible again and Schoen and Daboll will be fired. Keeping them as lame ducks was foolish, as they are now signing bottom of the barrel free agents to try to save their jobs by mustering a few extra wins. The good news is that they hopefully won’t be drafting one of the...

The black author is right but for all the wrong reasons. LOL. “Sports — and the NCAA tournament in particular — may be the greatest pushback to the negativity surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion. Indeed, the sports industry runs on DEI. We’d be nowhere without it.” Sports was the...

Kentucky not terrible anymore with new coach Pope. 1 starter with 5 year man Carr and underclassmen Chandler, Perry and Noah usually playing as reserves.

Thanks for the update NM. I watched Purdue and they looked like a well oiled machine. They should be a very tough matchup for all black Houston. Assuming they get past Gonzaga, which could prove to be a huge test this early for a #1 seed.

Some good results today but some bad too. A mixed bag really.

LOL! Unless he had an injury, that defensive sumo is incredibly weak. Must have all his weight in his stomach and rear-end as his upper body strength is a zero for a man that size. In my lifting prime around 30 years young, I would bench 12-15 reps max at 6’-1” and 220 lbs. And I wasn’t an...

Great job Phall! Informative as always, with your patented blend of humor. Always an enjoyable read.

Good to hear! Hopefully silver moves accordingly too. If gold is setting ATHs, then silver should be at $50 an ounce at minimum.
