Didnt he officially change his last name to Freedom towards the tail end of his career and then claimed he was blackballed out due to his criticism of the league for their relations with China? He also allegedly had a bounty put on his head by the leader of Turkey for being critical of him also.

He is either really strange or really disliked by people in power. With the NBA being the benefactor for the WNBA, there is a 0% chance this happens on top of everything else.

Garrison Hearst. They surprisingly won a lot to a little.

My curiosity about this whole thing is that the MLB owners would need to be in agreement (at least a majority of them) for these proposals to be made. The recent MLB proposal had a $245M cap and a $171M floor. Using Fangraphs, there are 6 teams above that cap and 15 clubs under the floor currently. Those 15 in particular would have to agree to pony up before the official offer could be made. The Marlins are almost $100M short. I could see the owners on both sides of that spectrum having some contentious debate before the players get involved at all.

The TV money being shared likely will buoy a lot of that talk, but if you are the Dodgers or other big market franchise, why would you support that?

This is a cultural issue. F that kid. I’m glad he got what he deserved. We need more responses like this. Probably never had a dad around to straighten him out so he learned the hard way from a grown man. Just zero respect for any kind of authority.

Perhaps I am misreading your reply and you were just speaking to a lack of respect, but just for clarification purposes....this bruh thing is waaay more a thing with the fairer complexion. I had to correct my daughter the other day doing it repeatedly in one conversation. Every kid in my neighborhood does it. Its ridiculous.

Packers/Ravens on 12/27 was aired only on Peacock. It looks like the local NBC stations aired it in the respective teams area, but the rest of the country needed a subscription for that one.

I took my daughter to see him this past weekend in Tampa (it was her Xmas present). I tried to listen to him prior so I wouldnt be 100% lost, but like you, felt like almost every song was depressing as hell.

Fast forward to the show....1) Caamp was very good although at one point I realized the lead singer looks like Macaulay Culkin with Tom Selleck's hair and moustache and couldnt unsee it. 2) Raymond James was packed full of people 3) It seems like he increases his tempo a tad on all his songs live, which made it more palatable 4) Dude has a full freaking band behind him, I am talking multiple cellos, violin, fiddle, trumpets, you name it. 5) I had zero knowledge of the whole Homeland security stuff going in, but he seemed to have the common sense not to push that hard, he made a quick comment and then played the song. While not my cup of tea, it was definitely a spectacle and a fun time. I would see him again if someone offered me a ticket.

I did laugh at one point, during one of the mini breaks the various string musicians played the Godfather theme. I knew that 75% of the folks in attendence had never heard that before. The oldes like me in the crowd all were nodding our heads.

Not SEK and not trying to get into this debate, but there aint a lot to hang out even if they did that. This should be a Megan Fox type. Turner doesnt have any "ta-dow" to her.

He would have to become more of a team player and develop a more varied offensive game very quickly, when he never showed that was something he was interested in.

Have to weigh in on this, because I strongly disagree with it. Doug Collins moved him to PG for 20+ games in 89 and he averaged 30p/10a/9reb during that stretch. Phil comes in and installs the triangle, which rendered a great deal of Jordan's isolation/ball dominant strengths moot, so what did he do? He turned himself into one of the best back to the basket scorers in the league to adapt.

Jordan was constantly enhancing his game. He would need to adapt more in today's world, but history shows that he would do so.

If you want a pellet smoker the camp chef woodwind pro is amazing. Hard to clean, though.

This is what I have and I recommend it also. The pull out drawer that lets you have actual smoke while having the ease of the pellets is great. I second your point about cleaning though.
