Today is "National Signing Day" although it seems most players have already signed earlier see posts up above that give breakdowns of some of the important moves by schools etc. Having trouble finding any significant white signings today but I did run across one shocker. Georgia just signed WR...

Well I am a Puritan. I have never smoked anything. But well said above. If it is indicated as a safer alternative by medical professionals then that is a good thing. Each case will vary of course. But as long as one is under medical supervision I am all for substances like marijuana if they are...

Ha. In my life experience people that I have known who were heavily into smoking pot are generally fried. Wouldn't that be something if the "marijuana issue" is the one that takes the players over the top into accepting the 17 game schedule?

I do get on planes from time to time but it is an eternal battle especially during take offs and landings. I wouldn't touch a helicopter with a ten foot pole and I could care less who I was riding with so I think it is a shame that people would take such a risk to just "hang out" with Kobe? Not...

The players and the owners appear to be on a collision course over the issue of the desire for a 17 game schedule. There are so many things involved it would take forever to go through all the items. I am for it as long as they put in better measures to prevent serious injuries and that the...

Yes those are good stats for a rookie but like DJ Metcalf I believe Samuel is on PEDs ( much like so many black DBs) based on my observations. The NFL has a weak drug testing program compared to other sports. He missed most of his junior year at SC due to an injury and I suspect/predict both of...

Thanks for the info. I like the fact Draper won't have to sit out and will have two full seasons to get a chance to shine for Arkansas.He was listed as a sophomore this past season so an unusual situation but on the surface looks like a good move away from a toxic caste program. Oklahoma has a...

This has become a complicated three or four team deal. Somehow the Angels ended up with Dodger OF Joc Pederson. Info is still pouring in.

Good point. ESPN in general was killing the Pats receiving core all year and Clark was just one of many saying the same crap. The problem is the alternative Fox channels etc. are pretty much the same and since I don't get a daily paper anymore always hungry for sports news/talk I reflexively...

I am not penciling in Samuel as a star just yet but if he "gives " the 49ers WR crew legitimacy why doesn't established super star Edelman not give the Patriots WR crew any respect? Samuel is not at Edelman's level and yet the Pats were seen as being completely depleted at that position. And...

Another huge move. I can't stand him but admit he is a hell of a five tool talent the Red Sox have traded Mookie Betts to the Dodgers. I do not believe the Dodgers had to part ways with their young stud IF Gavin Lux who is penciled in as their starting 2B this season. I can't recall a recent...

Very instructive this. All stinking year long the Patriots theme was this: Tom Brady is half dead and their wonderful nearly all black defense is carrying the team. And every week I heard that the Patriots lack receiver talent. ESPN beat that drum beat to death. Woeful lack of talent were the...

Pat Connaughton will join three other players as a slam dunk contestant at the All Star Game. Glad someone is paying attention to his astonishing leaping ability.

Some thoughts. FootballDad you are not alone. Going into the game I was leaning towards the Chiefs ( for some reason I am the only one here who predicted a Chiefs victory) but as the game played I was openly rooting for them. More on that later. The game was off kilter though and Mahomes was...

Temporarily changing the subject from the "boob" bowl I think most people have SB war stories. Everybody is the greatest expert in the world until they lay down a bet and more times than not feel their oats. So while everyone is leaning towards a high score will that actually happen? I am not...

Watching the entire 4th and 5th sets I could say Thiem lost his nerve in the big moment? Some of that. His fatigue set in after a round of grueling matches? Some of that. But ultimately he succumbed to a master who wasn't going to give him any ground. Djokovic kept the pressure on Thiem after a...

Evert opened the match saying these are the lowest rated players ever to play in a Aussie Open which gives one an idea of how the women's field lacks consistent top tier players. Kenin is one intense young lady. She even spikes the ball after winning key games and throughout this tournament she...

The moment perhaps no one was waiting for? My take on the SB. Ha. In one way I come into this game more relaxed than usual because in the recent years I was nervous about the Patriots losing. Here my biggest concern is that Mahomes and WR Tyreek Hill or their other speedster Hardman become the...

I have never quite figured out the Q as in queer with the LGBTQ label. Why don't they just settle for the Q to encompass everyone so inclined? Ha. Seriously I want to look at this from a broader perspective. In the USA today and in some other parts of the world acceptance of LGBTQ persons has...

The only match I watched was Kenin beating Barty. She kept her cool once again ( see above posts) as Barty made a lot of unforced errors. But I am extremely disappointed Halep got beat by the stork like Muguruza in two tight straight sets. Once again a big hitter knocked Halep on her heels. I...

As I had mentioned above I didn't much like QT movies but I went to "Once Upon ..." because of the Manson subject matter so I took a chance. I figured even if I didn't like the movie the soundtrack might be good since I love music from that late 1960's era. I read "Chaos: Charles Manson..."...

Everybody has different takes on movies. For instance I have no desire to see a one take World War 1 flick. And as for Clint Eastwood his films are decent but a tad boring. That baseball movie he made lacked any sense of excitement. To me the movie of the year is "Once Upon A Time In...

No Samson is not American. But I like to keep things nice and simple. Basically if a player is a honky he gets a check in the YES department. If he is not white then he gets a check in the NO department. Things are barren out there and I will take great white athletes wherever they come from. I...

The semifinals are in place. Problem is tonight the women's semis start at 10:00 and then starting Thursday every match will take place at 3:30 AM. At this juncture I am a full grown Halep groupie ( completely smitten) so no need to guess who I am rooting for to win it all. Always nervous about...

I was most impressed with Kenin's composure and resolve. I hit the sack before the third set but you could see Coco flagging after losing the second set but one never knows, players turn things around quickly but obviously that wasn't the case here as Coco melted down. Even after losing the...
