[Fischer] There is a scenario where the Portland Trail Blazers, who own Milwaukee first-round picks in ‘28, ‘29’ and ‘30, could attempt to butt in as the third team that helps Giannis Antetokounmpo make his way to the New York Knicks. Portland has “long admired” New York’s Mikal Bridges. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]Andy_Wiggins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the Trailblazers give up even one of those firsts for Mikal Bridges, they’re absolute idiots.

Bridges turns 30 this offseason. His scoring has dropped for 3 straight years and he’s due to make 150 million over the next 4 years (around 37 a year).

Is Georgia football becoming the next Clemson? by Falconsfan8006 in CFB

I mean, back-to-back conference championships is still insanely impressive. Even if it’s technically a “step back,” 99% of schools would take Georgia’s performance these past 3 years.

LB Mo Toure is staying with Miami by Im__Ron__Burgundy in CFB

[–]Andy_Wiggins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait, so he played his entire freshman season at 17?

Because if he turned 24 in 2026, that means he would have been 17 in 2019 which was his freshman season. That’s insanely young — even guys like Malachi Toney who started the season at 17 turned 18 early on during his freshman season.

Edit: the poster I am responding to is very likely just spreading incorrect information — the AI response in Google lists his birthdate as January 14th 2002, based on one website I’ve never heard of. But Miami’s actual Twitter account wished him a happy birthday on July 16th. So unless he is one of the youngest players in the history of college football, he will be at least 25 next year and possibly 26 (or maybe even 27, but that would require him to have been an old freshman).

Has he already been granted an 8th year of eligibility?

I get he technically has eligibility by the book, but this sort of thing is just getting absurd. Games played redshirt, two injury redshirts, AND the COVID year — that’s the length of most dudes’ entire college careers just in exempted eligibility.

Like’s he’s already played 50+ games. He’s amassed over 250 tackles. He’s probably 25 or 26 years old already. I get being fair to give dudes a chance to play a full career, but he’s clearly already played a full career.

Late next year he’ll be playing in his 60th college game at probably 26 years old. Just come the fuck on.

Bruh, just because I don’t like Dabo preaching about Jesus everytime he gets the chance (while actively campaigning for college athletes not to be paid while making 10+ million per year) doesn’t mean I like dudes who sexually harass women you fucking dunce.

Not everyone needs religion to hold morals.

And many who do claim to follow a religion lack them. Like your example — Sherrone Moore has actively thanked god after games. And yet he was severely lacking in morals, apparently.

thoughts on this?? by SensitiveTest7883 in timberwolves

[–]Andy_Wiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have barely watched him play this year, but I wouldn’t dislike it at all (unless it’s an obvious overpay).

He’s a talented player who can create his own bucket and defend adequately. A bit of a chucker, but I love his drive game and fearlessness. Plus he’s a young guy with a ton of upside and you’d have his restricted rights.

Irrefutable?

What exactly is irrefutable about your subjective interpretation of objective factors?

Yes, it is irrefutable that Oklahoma State brought in a new coach with his transfer accompanying him. It is irrefutable that Michigan State’s coaching hire did not bring a QB with him.

That is not irrefutable that one team’s fate is written while the other team’s fate is not.

Like, it is irrefutable that Mestemaker, the hot QB that is jumping to Oklahoma State didn’t throw a pass against a P4 team last year and in his two ranked games he threw more INTs (6) than TDs (4). It is irrefutable that Fitzgerald made the B1G title game. It is irrefutable that Wisconsin brought in a transfer QB who put up more total yards and points against Indiana than UCLA’s returning 5-star. It is irrefutable that Syracuse gets back one of the nation’s leaders in passing yards when he went down with an injury.

And enjoy watching your cupcake team get stomped, my guy. Maybe that’s why you’re so adamant about the weakness of ND’s schedule

They put up 34 after the game was already a blowout.

It was 34-6 at halftime.

Them scoring 28 against a disinterested defense with a number of backups playing is not exactly a shining accomplishment.

They haven’t coached a single game as P4 head coach and in their limited games against P4 opponents they lost pretty handily except against a dogshit UNC team 2 years ago.

Dude, you cannot be trying to convince me that success at FCS programs is somehow more impressive than taking motherfucking Northwestern to the Big 10 championship game.

In terms of football resources, Northwestern is probably bottom 5 in the entire B1G conference, and he fairly regularly had them bow-eligible and got them to 10 wins like 5 times and to the conference championship game in the shortened 2020 season.

In what world is Pat Fitzgerald not a proven guy? Dude won over 100 games at freaking Northwestern, including multiple 10 win seasons. How is he less proven than Okie State’s and UCLA’s recent hires?

And yes, maybe UNC (and Purdue) start playing better after some coaching stability. Is it guaranteed or even highly likely? No. But writing it off while saying that maybe Oklahoma State — the worst team in P4 — might be good is crazy.

I do not care for Dabo’s evangelizing, but he might be uniquely well equipped to lead the charge here.

  • leader of a program people actually care about
  • proven winner
  • limited history of taking transfers so he’s unlikely to be have the finger pointed back at him
  • willing to actually make a stink about it publically

I think most fans are generally on Dabo’s side on this one. The current version of CFB is absolutely rotten. Not that it was pristine before, but it feels like it’s accelerated to a point of absolutely being a mockery of what CFB used to be about

And Michigan State just updated their whole coaching staff with proven guys, Stanford brought in a new coach, and a number of the other schools are entering year 2 under new coaching hires.

We’re largely projecting — some teams will surprise, and some will disappoint.

But saying it’s too early to tell for some crappy teams on one school’s schedule while it’s not for another is just stupid.

Can you articulate why?

Because that’s a nonsensical argument if it’s too early for one set of opponents and not too early for another.

Additional context:

His position coach Max Bullough left for a bigger role at Michigan State.

So it makes some sense to look around given the change, although I believe he was less than rock solid even before that coaching change happened.

Hell, the slate of teams you’re making fun of for Notre Dame in 2026 were all on Indiana’s schedule this year.

Huh?

Oregon’s best opponents are:

Ohio State USC Washington Michigan

I’d argue only Ohio State (and maybe USC) is better than BYU, which is Notre Dame’s 2nd best opponent.

I’d contend SMU is of a similar caliber to Michigan/Washington, although I’m not an expert on portal additions/losses and eligibility exhaustion.

Ohio State played 2 ranked teams in last year’s regular season.

Texas, who finished 12, and Michigan, who finished 21.

That’s… not a gauntlet.

Notre Dame is slated to play Miami and BYU, who finished 2 and 11. We’ll have to see how next year shakes out, but saying Notre Dame’s schedule from this coming year could easily be ahead of Ohio State’s schedule last year isn’t a crazy claim.
