This is the only thing that makes sense. It should be and will be investigated by the 911 Communications department. If the correct information was given, it’s on the call taker that input the information. The ambulance and others in that room have to rely on what the call taker inputs as far as location and cause for medical attention. If that other golf course is in the area that call center dispatches for, no one else in the room would know they were dispatching to the wrong address as calls come in to your headset and aren’t available to be heard by anyone other than the shift supervisor. For a call like that, there wouldn’t really be a reason for the supervisor to listen to verify location unless the call taker requested it or the call taker was struggling with the call itself.

I have seen a lot of talk lately based around the premise of should Cooper Flagg stay at Duke another year. The basic thought is that, as it stands now, the top 4 teams (Washington, Utah, Charlotte and New Orleans) wouldn't be great landing spots for him and so he could come back and play another year and go to a different team. I have 3 issues but one that I wanted to see if someone knew more about and could help me understand. So the first issue with this thought of staying another year is that there is no guarantee that a few, if not all, of those same teams may be right in this situation again. The second, and possibly biggest issue is that if he gets hurt, he may not be as highly sought after and may ruin his career before it even starts. The third issue, and here is where my question lies is this:
Why wouldn't he come out, get drafted by whoever drafts him, play under that first contract and then he can become a free agent and pick his next destination? I know that the NBA sets it up to reward the current team with being able to offer certain players more money, so I know that is a reason to stay with the bad team and therefore stay another year in college. However, Flagg is 18 and will not be 19 until December, meaning he will be 22 when his first contract expires (from research, it appears rookie contracts are 4 year contracts). So, why not play 4 years, see how it goes, then become a free agent? Even if he becomes a restricted free agent, do the Lebron James thing of signing a 2 year contract with a player option after 1, effectively staying on the drafted team for 5 total years?

I think this is the best response. This is his 3rd year. In basketball, that is a much larger example than football as you go through kids much quicker and can make huge leaps with only 1-2 great players. His win/loss record is aweful by any standards. We haven’t finished better than 8th in the conference and are close to finishing dead last for 2 out of his 3 years as coach. I understand we aren’t a power house program but this is unacceptable for any of the teams in our conference. It really doesn’t matter about the “why” as the record is speaking louder than any specific example ever could.

Read today that an additional first and Knecht were originally in the deal but Pelinka whittled him down by talking up how big of a risk he’s taking given Luka’s conditioning and injury history

The more that I read things like this, the more questions I have for Nico. From everything I have read, the Lakers was the only team he reached out to. While you may think Davis is a wonderful player and you may ultimately end up making a deal that bring Davis to your team, how on earth can you truly justify only calling 1 team! Of course if I'm Pelinka and I know you have only called me, I will try and downplay how amazing of a deal this is, which again goes back to calling multiple teams so that Pelinka has to offer more than he ended up offering.

For those saying that the ownership group ultimately wants to move to Vegas: even if that is the case, this deal still doesn't make any sense. Wouldn't it make more sense to just trade him for about 6 future picks? Then you have a bad team that no one will want to watch, but you have the hope of building a great team in the future with your draft picks. This is what the Celtics did when they traded Pierce and Garnett to the Nets.

Wrapping all of this up, there is no plausible scenario where dealing a top-5 player gets you what the Mavs received in this trade. The GM has either grossly overrated Davis or he is just incompetent. If the Lakers GM gives you pushback, hang the phone up and call the Spurs, Warriors, Celtics, Bucks, etc and I guarantee you, the Lakers would have given more! If not, someone else would have given more and you may have received a better player than Davis in return!

If you compare the scoring in the 6 biggest games from each team regarding opponents points this is what you get:
2010 AUBURN:
1. South Carolina - 27.
2. Arkansas - 43.
3. LSU - 17.
4. Alabama - 23.
5. South Carolina - 17.
6. Oregon - 19.

LSU 2023:
1. Florida State - 45.
2. Ole Miss - 55.
3. Missouri - 39.
4. Alabama - 42.
5. Florida - 35.
6. Texas A&M - 30.

So if you compare those defenses, ours gave up at least 30 points every game and over 40 3 times! Auburn gave up over 30 one time! That defense in 2023 was a historically awful defense!

Thank y’all for the responses. I assumed there was a better angle but again, they don’t seem to show these tough calls in the stadium so you’re left to assume it was a bad call, which it seems it wasn’t. The biggest frustration was that he had someone in the middle wide open on that play!

So this brings up an interesting question. If the secret service walked in on a domestic violence situation how would they respond? If it were the case of Harris being President and being attacked by her husband, would they violently stop him? If they walked in and Trump and his wife were in an altercation would they react differently? I am now genuinely curious as to what protocol would be

Completely agree with this! His lack of gap discipline led to the huge runs in both first and second half. He is getting much better but has to do a better job at this

I think 2 things can be true at once:
1. Moss played better than Nuss.
2. Kelly shouldn’t have said that at the podium.


Nuss wasn’t the only reason we lost that game and if Kelly should be frustrated with anyone it’s with himself.

Definitely somewhat underrepprted. Maybe the lack of attention demonstrates their WS season was more of a fluke. Terrible before last year and now terrible again.

While this may very well be true, the most important thing, as a Rangers fan, is that even if this was a one-year fluke, they still won the World Series! Unless there is evidence that they cheated to win it, they did win the world series, which is the goal of every team to do. I would much rather have a "fluke" season that ended in a World Series win than 10 great seasons that never end in the ultimate prize.
