The only way to confirm this is to go to the middle school and high school combines. Also, the college top prospect camps. As I was going through the recruiting process with my son, there were no white players in DB's groups or LB's and DL for that matter. Most of the white players at that...
I guess I'll be the lone one to say I disagree. To me, that's saying he is slow. White players won't get the pass not competing in certain combine events such as the 40 that black players get. On the other hand, if he runs a slow time I guess it could hurt his draft position. I guess in his...
Watching the Duke Florida State game and Flagg gets what looked like poked in the eye. He has left the game. He came back out of the locker room and then went back and now on the bench. Don't know how serious it is, but he's not back in the game.
Earlier he got mugged on the head. An obvious...
What's disappointing is watching Luka miss so many shots! He's 7 for his last 38 in three point attempts including an 0-3 start tonight against the Clippers. That's 18%!!
He needs to wake up and start shooting better!
Ok here's my annual NHL post because I know almost nothing about it, but obviously have heard of Ovechkin and Gretzky. I also love stats.
I haven't looked at NHL's all-time goals, assists or points leaders in a long time, because I did know that Gretzky held all three records. I thought for a...
Saw that. Kevin Huerter getting the start after being traded from Sacramento. He wasn't getting much playing time after being traded from Atlanta? He had improved every year since entering the league at 20 years old. Glad for him! Hopefully he continues to start for Chicago, and this wasn't a...
Doncic 16 first quarter points. That's more than he's scored in his first 3 entire games. Looking more like the normal Luka.
I'm actually enjoying an NBA game. Four white starters. Doncic and Reaves for the Lakers. Jokic and Braun for the Nuggets.
Duke and Cooper Flagg will be facing Illinois tonight at 8:00 in NY at Madison Square Garden. Duke should have no problem beating Illinois, however Illinois has 18 year old Kasparas Jakucionis who could go in the top 10 of the 2025 NBA Draft. Jakucionis is averaging 15.6 points/5.5 rebounds and...
Flagg named ACC Rookie of the week again! He scored 19 points against Stanford in only 28 minutes. He also had 6 assists and 5 rebounds on Saturday as Duke destroyed Stanford 106-70! Duke is at Virginia tonight at 8 on ESPN!
Stanford's Maxime Raynaud scored 19 and had 7 rebounds.
I wonder who the last NBA rebounding leader that didn't make the all star team. Oh, it was Sabonis. He led the league in rebounds last year and didn't make the team.
Other than Sabonis. Probably not many if any.
Portland's Donavan Clingan had arguably his best game as a pro last night against the Nuggets. 17 points and 20 rebounds. He has had some minor injuries, so maybe he's getting past those.
Clingan-Portland-17/20-20 year old rookie!
Jokic- Denver- 26/15/10
Braun-Denver-21/10/6- 23 year old in...
No problem, Don. I always enjoy 70's highlights of most teams as there were plenty of pale faces on the field in those days. For me it's about individuals anymore instead of teams. I have a great appreciation for the 70's Steelers as well as the Raiders Ken Stabler and Dave Casper, the...
In reviewing Bradshaw's stats, he seemed to have finally turned the corner in '75 to becoming a great QB as his 88.0 Rate was the best of his career. Yes, the 1976 Super Bowl was the famous 64? yard downfield catch by Lynn Swann. I'm sure you remember that catch Don. If any of you haven't seen...
As most of you know I'm no Steeler fan as my avatar shows Dallas coach Tom Landry and one of the greatest QB's of all time Roger Staubach! However, with all this talk of Patrick Mahomes closing in on The GOAT Tom Brady, I never understood how Mahomes jumped over four-time Super Bowl winning QB...
Well. The game was essentially a blowout. Lakers were up 25 at the half. However, Luka did shoot a not too good 5-14 and 1-7 from 3 in 24 minutes. Yeah, probably a little rusty, first game in LA, etc. I don't see him backing down from James.
Luka Doncic scored 14 in his Lakers debut. Going 5-14 with 5 boards and 4 assists.
Reaves- 22/9/4
Markkanen- 17 points
Kessler-13/12
Jokic-40/7/8
Braun-26 points. 12-14 from the field and 6 boards.
Portland Rookie Donovan Clingan had his best game of his career so far going 8-8 and 21 points, 7...
Belgian Thomas Detry wins The WM Phoenix Open in convincing fashion at -24. Jordan Spieth made his best showing since wrist surgery at -16. Finishing in a tie for fourth. Justin Thomas T-6 -15
World number 1 Scottie Scheffler finished T-25 at -9. He got so frustrated at one point he slammed...
