re: Pacers screwed up worse then the pels

I don't know the NBA well enough to say, other than so many of the NBA trades seem wackadoddle to me. 2 firsts (with a 50% or so chance it would be 1; but if it was 2, it would be #5) for a journeyman center seems nuts. Trading unprotected picks to move up in a draft is obviously nuts.
And whoever traded the best player in the NBA and 5 first round picks to OKC for Paul George (who OKC was trying to trade) is ....whew.

They hate Dumars; Ham and Dumars are friends; Therefore, Ham was hired only because he's friends with Dumars.
Yea, the trade was terrible. 3 or 4 more like that and he'll come close to Griffin's record of squandered first rounder picks.

re: Golden Tempo to sit out Preakness, but will race Belmont

Triple Crown spacing just not in tune with the modern game. "Back in the day" horses used to race between triple crown races.
Also, Justified and, to a lesser extent, American Pharaoh's bogus Belmont debased the Triple Crown.

The reason is that DeVaux, Asmussen, McPeek and Cox (until this year) and others train their best in New Orleans. They may not race them here (Asmussen certainly doesn't) but they train them here. Cox moved a large part of operation to South Fla this season. Ortiz is making great connections for the rest of the year while dominating the racing in the winter.
It's hard to see the FG quality that when parsing through the din of conditioned 5 claimers on a Friday card.
Meanwhile Churchill dotes on Turfway, Ellis and Colonial, while treating FG like crap.

Fair Grounds horses always do well in Kentucky, but they've been absolutely dominating the place this spring.
So what's Churchill and the racing office going to do this time? Cut purses again? Eliminate stakes for open horses again? Squeeze stall space for top trainers again?
New York is going plastic track in the winter.
The opportunity to have a real major race meet in NOLA is there. How can FG have such low purses compared to low-handle tracks like Colonial and Ellis? Wake up, La Racing Commission.
And Congrats to Golden Tempo and Cherie DeVaux.

Seems a lot easier than hitting the Pick 6 at the track.

So are the Bananas the (whatever this sport is) version of the Los Angeles T-Birds, who always seemed to pull out the win in the end, to the consternation of the Chicago Hawks (the heel team). Roller Derby
Aaron Nola is on Italy? Geeze. Aside from Skubal and Skenes, they probably have better pitching than the U.S. team.
If team Italy wins this thing, will they be parading on the streets in Rome and Naples for this team of ringers?
There's a certain humor in all of his.

Ryan Yarborough isn't exactly an elite pitcher.
Is Crochet on this staff? Or is he like on team France or something.
A lot of the AL Central is on team Italy.

It also reduces the chances, such as they are, of getting a 2nd bid.
My guess: Detroit intentionally bid low, and let Skubal win, knowing in that in winner-rake-all arb, he wouldn’t ask for the moon. I think that because Detroit’s number was silly-low.

Strict liability for all pitbulls/owners.
No proof of fault necessary.
Or ban them.

Born in New Jersey, spends 9 seasons in NFL front offices, then named GM for a team that had 2 losing seasons in a row, goes 42-25 w/ 2 playoff appearances is an unqualified Somalian disaster as GM.

But the Braves have a ring to show for it.
What about the $70 Mill in subsidies they get from Big 10 media deal?

How so? He drafted Queen.
Dumars' real terrible move, and it might be catastrophic, was not protecting the pick he traded. And then the requisite Bill Simmons hyperbole (about anything Pels) and here we are.
But Griffin squandered all sorts of picks. How about a first for Steven Adams, and then a first a couple of years later to get rid of Adams.

Are those 6 bowl games play-in games? Is the same true for conf. champ games?
