@SallyJenki Would you rather? all expenses paid

@DarkoStateNews @HGA_215 @TheRightWay He's certainly won another national championship since then right?

In May 2000, Tom Izzo was offered a 5-year contract from the Atlanta Hawks worth up to $4 million/yr. One month removed from winning a national championship, the young coach had received a whale of an offer to join the NBA ranks. Izzo’s MSU salary was $725,000. Atlanta was offering to at least quadruple his salary, with reachable incentives pushing his compensation to 5.5x its current rate. Wowed by the Hawks’ aggressive courtship, Izzo and his family traveled south to visit the team facilities. Welcomed as heroes, they received a full-court press aimed at luring the Izzo family to Atlanta. Their whirlwind visit concluded, the Izzo’s returned home to ponder the crossroads laid before them. Acknowledging the enormity of the decision, Tom Izzo and wife Lupe agreed to sleep on it. The following morning, Izzo called Atlanta. He was turning down their offer of $4 million, and signing an extension with Michigan State for $1.1 million instead. The verdict stunned Atlanta GM Pete Babcock, who had already begun preparations to introduce his new head coach. “Tom was our man. We tried, but he wouldn’t leave Michigan State.” Later that day, Izzo held a press conference in East Lansing to announce his decision. A reporter asked if he might one day regret rejecting an offer to quadruple his salary. “I won’t have regrets. I decided to be a Spartan forever.”

@ChelsElaina Sad day for sure but this being MSU and Izzo's biggest win since covid hit makes it a little bit more tolerable.

What a sad day to be a Wolverine 🙊👀

@JoshHenschke Biggest win since covid for State fans

Look everyone, an MSU fan has an opinion! I’m sure it’s rational.. oh wait, it’s not. Biggest win of the year for them.

@trevormccue @DarkoStateNews He has to savor the flavor baby. MSU hasnt had a win like this since pre covid.

@DarkoStateNews I'm only surprised it took you this long to get me lol.

@DarkoStateNews @MSU_Basketball @BuiltNottBought This was 16 years ago... a decade after his ONLY national title. MSU's biggest win since COVID is Dusty leaving for the NBA. You know it, I know it, I know you know it, i know that you know that i know that you know it.

JUNE 15, 2010 Tom Izzo announces he’s staying. The coach rejected a five-year, $30 million offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Surrounded by his players at a packed press conference, Izzo was asked why he turned down a deal that would have doubled his salary. “Michigan State is where I want to be. I’m a Spartan for life, and I’m damn proud of it.”

@d0wnsideofme So, they certainly taught you that you'd be speaking Russian if it wasn't for America and the brave men and women that fight for our freedoms every day.... right?

grew up in canada much more recently than this hag and was an honours student we had zero anti american propaganda plenty of pro canada propaganda though we almost never discussed american history except when it was relevant our own

@JeffMossDSR Is that what we're calling the team that wins the gold medal now? A "Bunch of losers"

That US team was full of a bunch of losers led by Brady and Larkin. Wish MacKinnon wouldn’t have missed that wide open empty net.

@d0wnsideofme @grover_lou Yes... this is definitely the vibe all the people visiting for the world cup are giving...Lmao

@grover_lou america is a horrible place to the majority of the world

so are we keeping politics out of sports or no??? haven’t seen any MAGA christians going nuts over this horrible political display ruining the great game of baseball

@suzannahweiss Sheeeeesh can i charge you for the 20 minutes i just took to read these tweets. Buddy came out on top.

To those calling my part unhinged: Yup, I plan every hour of my day to a T. It's a good thing. It's how I get shit done. I lost an hour I could've spent working by planning my day around this dude. I should have charged him for the missed work time in addition to the Uber.

Ladies, let's start charging men for their rude inconsiderate date cancelations. We know there's always some cost like this. You plan your day around them, spend an hour getting ready, turn down other plans, or even spend actual money on your hair, makeup, outfit, Uber, etc.

@RollingStone People still watch him? Gonna be honest I didn't know Kimmel was still on TV, I thought he got cancelled for the man show he was on back in the day.

Jimmy Kimmel warned against "obscenely wealthy weirdo" Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire. Watch: rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-m…

@harper033_ Big time mom W here. Listen to your parents.

genuinely the most hateful message I’ve ever received

@averykerj @CHEN313 @JimCosta_ The Lions have never won one. You can take the "half the time" out. I think it's incredibly foolish that people keep acting like the Lions have won anything of substance but hey man opinions are a helluva drug.

@yzerplan41109 @CHEN313 @JimCosta_ And it took them 10 years to win that Super Bowl and 2 years to rebuild after, so maybe just maybe it’s incredibly unserious to be actin a fool because the lions haven’t won one in about half the time, the rams didn’t start at Super Bowl win

Some Lions fans will cope by calling the Rams approach short term thinking but since they went "All in" and won the SB in 2021 they’ve won more playoff games than the Lions and are still in a better spot for this season #OnePride

@averykerj @CHEN313 @JimCosta_ Now let me ask you.....What have the Lions done lately? Got bounced by a rookie at home and then missed the playoffs?

@averykerj @CHEN313 @JimCosta_ They've done what you view as "success" as recently as last year by losing in the NFCC game. Have the Lions won a super bowl? I'll let you go back as far as you need to go even tho you don't have to go back to the global pandemic to find the Rams last super bowl.

@TBrandon84 Too bad management doesn't. Fill that season ticket waiting list up baby!

There's not a single Lions fan that doesn't want a SB win, stop being dramatic

@averykerj @CHEN313 @JimCosta_ I admitted they didnt win anything? THEY WON THE SUPER BOWL! THEY WON THE FUCKING SUPER BOWL! I've said that numerous times. Get reading glasses. Bye

@yzerplan41109 @CHEN313 @JimCosta_ The rams regressed without winning anything, you just admitted that. Why didn’t the rams trade for Micah parsons last year, were they unserious?

@averykerj @CHEN313 @JimCosta_ They were coming off the heels of winning a super bowl bud. Losing the NFCC game and winning the super bowl are two entirely different things. They then MISSED the playoffs in 22' and lost WC in 23' that = Progression. Lions have regressed without winning anything. Lmao.

@yzerplan41109 @CHEN313 @JimCosta_ You’re giving the rams a two season pass we are three years removed from the NFCC game should the rams have fired mcvay and sneed after 23? Why didn’t they make anymore impactful moves big trades in 23? The rams seem to have made a comeback “without trying”

@averykerj @CHEN313 @JimCosta_ Do you need reading help or comprehension help?

@yzerplan41109 @CHEN313 @JimCosta_ What did the rams do in ‘23?
