Yes but in a Leon Lett on Thanksgiving way


That's the exact rule in play here. After that happened players after a block ran from the ball like it was diseased but barely any of these kids playing today even know who Leon Lett was.

Passer rating actually.

QBR is a made-up ESPN stat that maxes out at 100.

Find me one respected NBA media type that praised Dumars and the trade.

I can find you 20 with one Google search excoriating the move and rightfully so.

Does is sting a little less given Queen’s early success?


All of that is irrelevant if Queen develops into a player that should have been picked higher. The underlying assumption in all of that analysis was that Queen was not a top 4 draft-level player. If he turns out to be, then the trade was good.

Which Shaheed are we talking about? The one from prior to his injury where he looked pretty good? Or the one from this season who kept dropping passes? They got 2 picks for a guy who was playing like dog poop all season. Take the picks and be happy.

Dumars has already done the hard part - draft 2 quality NBA starters with very high upside.


We don't know this yet, but it is a great start for these 2 kids. If Queen keeps developing it would make all the "trade an unprotected pick" talk moot.

Lack of interest in Saints Players


You don't know what the interest was. We know from reports that Ruiz and Alontae Taylor got attention, but since they didn't move, the price wasn't right for the Saints. Alvin ordered a Code Red on any attempts to trade him, which means there were calls; otherwise he wouldn't have said what he said.

You cannot trade guys for too cheap no matter how much of a rebuild you are in. That's a bad precedent to set.

Shaheed is young and still ascending.


Shaheed was good in the past. This year he can't catch a cold. I'm surprised they got 2 picks for him.
There really aren't. The "backlash" you are reading falls into one of two categories:

1. Democrats who hate Landry.

2. Miserable fricks who complain about everything. The kind that want Jay Johnson fired if he doesn't sweep a weekend series.

Carville weighs in on Woodward

This makes all of the pain worth it.
I think we are all missing the point.

Giving a 10-year $95 million contract to a guy who was checked out and going thru the motions from day one only to get worse is bad business. It doesn't matter who is paying; it's money better spent by LSU football elsewhere in the program, like NIL.

re: Landry lies...

Landry comes across poorly and probably should keep his mouth shut, but his basic point is correct.

Woodward gave Kelly a 10-year $95 million contract, and if what is being reported is true, his tenure when south almost immediately. Kelly didn't check out like Orgeron did, he never checked in. This is about way more than wins, losses, rushing yards and 3rd down percentage.
Someone claimed to see something on FB, but there's nothing there now. People assume it was deleted but it possibly never actually existed.

Someone on the other thread posted a screenshot of a tweet supposedly from Doucet saying the same thing. Except it's not his X account.

No one else has reported anything of the sort.

This is fake news.

It is believed that Woodward is on his way out. It is also believed that Woodward did not have a say in Kelly's firing. Or at least it wasn't his sole decision.


Stop making things up.

On the other hand, it's not just Ranters living in fantasy world. On his show last night, Josh Pate flat out said that Kelly was fired because he wanted to fire Sloan and Woodward didn't, when the actual truth (as reported by legitimate local professional journalist insiders) was the total opposite.

So, it's not just Ranters making things up.
quote:

he one thing he said LOUDLY was the boosters and BOS want Woodward as far away from the next hire as possible without firing him.


That makes no sense whatsoever. No AD in his right mind would allow a head coach to be hired in his flagship program without his approval. If he was told that, he'd resign on the spot.
Because there's 2 kinds of NBA fans. There are the ones that already think its rigged. Then there are the smart ones who understand that this kind of thing happens and has been happening for over 100 years. It's not widespread nor is it rare. These days with the corporations running sports gambling, it will get caught more to less fanfare, and that's a good thing.

Also, in the mid 80s, Tulane shaved points and their basketball program shut down for 4 years. Last year, UNO shaved points and it's no big deal. Players were kicked out, bettors were indicted, and life moved on. It's a different era.
I hope you people complaining about Shough realize how may reps the backup QB gets during practice. He hasn't had any significant reps since training camp. It makes a difference.

Could not agree more. Bring back games where teams make pivotal offensive and (are allowed to make) DEFENSIVE plays to win 93 to 92.


Do you guys really remember the 90s? Were you even aware then?

I was and this is what people said: outside of the Bulls, the difficulty in teams getting to 100 points regularly was a major problem making the games borderline unwatchable. All of the uncalled fouls and hard play made the game boring. Bring back the 80s with showtime and scoring and fun.

And the NBA knew it. They even moved the 3 point line in for a few seasons to try to increase scoring, which in fact decreased scoring because it drew the defense in making it even harder to score.
This is a technique used by bad journalists. They name everyone at one point as being connected to the job. One of them is bound to get the job.

So, if she goes on record naming everyone under the sun, she will then say that she was right when one of them gets hired.
