Klout says I'm influential about Pizza, Meghan McCain, and Chris Paul. I have no idea why people would follow that sort of account.
You know Darius Acuff Jr. is a hell of a prospect when the “cautionary tale” is a four-time All-Star
Just in on @SportsCenter – Lakers’ Luka Doncic will be sidelined indefinitely heading into the playoffs with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain:
Tre Johnson has to start contributing in any area aside from shooting because Will Riley is coming for all his minutes and more
BREAKING: sources say that Robbie Avila, a 6'10" 240lbs center, "absolutely crushed" a workout with the Utah Jazz. Apparently, Avila was "a man among boys" and left the whole building in awe 👀 The Jazz have moved Avila up to #2 on their big board, just behind Darius Acuff Jr.
Arizona’s Koa Peat was acting up in HS 😭
Lindor did not like Alonso Did not like McNeil Did not like Nimmo Does not like Soto Plays with no urgency or intestity Was unhappy Igleisas had a leadership role wanted him to go Iglesias found away to get the team together in 2024 He goes it goes back to the Liindor non stop drama and ok with losing Lindor is now mping about not being captain what a joke
An anonymous West executive warns against drafting Darius Acuff Jr. by using Trae Young as a “lesson,” “I think there's never been a worse time to build around bad defensive guards. We see this time and time again — the flashiest offensive impact in the draft doesn't necessarily end up winning the most. It ends up being, you know, Derrick White and Jrue Holiday and Alex Caruso, go down the list... Trae Young was traded for basically nothing.” (Via @JeremyWoo )
Nets deliberately put together the youngest roster in the NBA. Their decision to draft 5 firsts was part of that plan. They believe top pick will make them more attractive, their low payroll make them more flexible. Will it work? Don’t know but they were tired treading water.
Bill Parcells' 7 requirements for drafting QBs out of college include... 1. Are they coming out as a senior? 2. Did they graduate college? 3. Were they a 3-year starter in college? 4. Did they have 30+ college starts? 5. Did they win 23+ games in college? 6. Did they have a career 60+% COMP% in college? 7. Did they have a career 2:1 TD/INT ratio in college? This year, 7 QBs prospects meet all of this criteria:⬇️ - Drew Allar - Carson Beck - Taylen Green - Cade Klubnik - Luke Altmyer - Diego Pavia - Behren Morton None of the QBs inside the top 100 on the consensus big board (Mendoza, Simpson, Nussmeier) meet all these requirements 😂
Where would Jordyn Tyson be projected in this draft if he hadn't dealt with so many injuries? - Torn ACL, PCL, MCL - Fractured collar bone - Multiple hamstring injuries - Missed 1/3 of his possible collegiate games Many outlets projecting him to the @nyjets at sixteen.
Sean Marks had 5 first round picks in one of the deepest drafts ever and still has no franchise building block Sean marks built the worst roster on paper and is a mile away from competing Sean marks is on the verge of mismanaging another tank He needs to be fired
There is little to no trade market for Anthony Richardson, per @AdamSchefter on @PatMcAfeeShow. The most the Colts would be able to get for Richardson is a late Day 3 pick swap. Richardson wants a fresh start, but he might end up staying to compete as QB2 against Riley Leonard.
Lance has #Jets drafting: 2 Arvell Reese (LB/EDGE OSU) 16. Caleb Downs (Safety OSU) I’d imagine most #Jets fans would be thrilled if this happened.
@NetsDaily As Zach Lowe said. 5 firsts and not 1 will make the rookie team of the year. Disaster. Would have been better to have traded 3 of the picks and taken 2 decent players. Instead of 5 duds
#49ers HC Kyle Shanahan on Robert Saleh getting the HC job with the #Titans: "Robert deserves to be a head coach. He is one of the better coaches in this league. I thought he got a raw deal the first time. He's in a good situation."
This play was a new low for me as a Jets fan. Standing ovation for an insane underthrow that would've been a walk-in tuddy if he hit the guy in stride, but No. 2 was so fucking bad that it was warranted
Has anyone pulled this move off consistently since ‘97
