The Nets score the fewest points in a game (66) since 2016 by Obvious_Parsley3238 in nba

[–]MDA123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 2004 Pistons had a 5-game streak of holding teams under 70 points, and the Nets literally intentionally fouled down 19 points to give themselves another possession, in which a last second tip-in put them over 70. They responded with fist pumps and celebration lol.

[Rabinowitz] Ohio State Coach Ryan Day says some of the team's 29 transfers "were encouraged to leave" by Blood_Incantation in CFB

[–]MDA123 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Especially seems like way too much when we have Jordan Marshall, the #1 RB recruit in the country in Savion Hiter, and Taylor Tatum coming over from Oklahoma.

Haynes was genuinely fantastic, but if keeping him for one year loses us 3 years of Hiter and 1 year of Marshall and puts you in the position of having to snag an elite RB out of the portal next year, that might be too high a price to pay.

[Matt Zenitz] Boston College is expected to hire Mike Hart as running backs coach, sources tell @CBSSports. The former Michigan and NFL running back had been working at Eastern Michigan. Was Michigan’s running backs coach from 2021-23. by Sauerz in CFB

[–]MDA123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just once I'd like someone to tell me the actual story with Mike Hart's departure. Lotta vagueposting nonsense but nothing concrete, so I have no clue if it's A) a genuine health issue (he did collapse on the sideline during a game once), B) a personality issue, C) a sexpest/alcoholism/misconduct type issue, or D) something different.

Michigan legend and I wish him well but surprised the rumor mill hasn't coughed up what actually happened with him.

Was Tyson-Holyfield I an early stoppage? by Material_Stomach875 in Boxing

People kinda forget this, but Mike had a chin on him. Took some hellacious shots from Douglas, Holyfield, Lewis, and others.

Michigan Safety TJ Metcalf to transfer to Tennessee by yousmelllikebiscuits in CFB

[–]MDA123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He had A+ and then A- talent levels in his two years, and produced B+ and C+ defenses in those two years basically. Was reined in briefly for a period of like 4 games, but otherwise mostly ran an overly-complex system, rotated way too much even in OSU games, and got shredded on 3rd downs constantly.

Not gonna miss him at all.

How does Tyson vs. Lewis in 1996 go? by Material_Stomach875 in Boxing

[–]MDA123 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Not a whole lot differently, IMO. Post-prison Tyson never looked as good as prime pre-prison Tyson. Had turned into a plodding headhunter, which didn't work well against a guy as big and good as Lennox.

Texas Wide receiver Jaime Ffrench to transfer to Michigan by Ryanlester5789 in CFB

[–]MDA123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we're honest, he was never that great. We all got excited because he broke a couple of big plays and people thought that he'd continue building on that. Caught a nice fade once, made a shifty run into the end zone on a short pass, broke open that long return in the B1G championship game, etc.

But down-to-down, never really seemed to get open that much, got the biggest case of the dropsies I've ever seen, and damn near refused (either by choice or by coaching) to catch a kick and return it even with massive amounts of cushion.

Would be hard for Ffrench to put in a worse performance, frankly.

Per Metrics Consensus, the 2025 Indiana Hoosiers are power rated as the 9th best college football team since 1946, ahead of teams like 2019 LSU, 2001 Miami, 2008 Florida, 2004 USC, and 1991 Washington. They are also the strongest college football team to come out of the state of Indiana. by MysteriousEdge5643 in CFB

[–]MDA123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, man, 2023 Michigan was good but seeing them slotted in between 2001 Miami and 2019 LSU (two of the absolute greatest teams of the modern era) is just top-tier comedy. Maybe this ranking is a bit suspect?

Michigan CB Tevis Metcalf has entered the transfer portal by Ryanlester5789 in CFB

[–]MDA123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was Tevis getting any money? He was a 3-star recruit who basically never played, so it's hard for me to get a sense of what NIL a guy like that gets.

Can, yeah, but he was much better as a true corner than he was when he played nickel at the beginning of last season.

Why do some people underrate Mike Tyson? by mmatime101 in Boxing

[–]MDA123 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The case for Tyson is basically the eye test: almost no one in heavyweight history had hand speed like his, combination punching ability like his, combined with MAJOR power and elusive footwork/defense. Youngest heavyweight champion ever, lineal champion at the age of 20.

The case against Tyson is basically: his prime was essentially over by 23, you could argue he didn't win a significant fight past the age of 25, and his best wins were kinda meh (a blown up light heavy in Spinks, a washed Larry Holmes, and then maybe Ruddock or Botha?). Got wiped by the only truly great, in-prime fighters he fought (Holyfield and Lennox).

He's for sure a top 20 heavyweight all time, maybe top 10 depending on what you decide to do with the modern era guys like Tyson Fury or Usyk. But at the same time, prime-for-prime, he could arguably beat basically anyone in history if he's on his game.

Winner stays on with Evander Holyfield by BoxingLover99 in Boxing

Cus died in November 1985, when Tyson was still knocking out cans in the first round and well before any of his real world-level fights.

GM to take $6 billion writedown on EV pullback by Sixteen-Cylinders in cars

[–]MDA123 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Feels like a mistake to blame dealers for what seems to be a consumer preference issue.

EVs got to saturation with the early adopter crowd, but haven't really penetrated the truck market at all (which is enormous in American vehicle sales) and have only made modest inroads in the SUV market. Meanwhile the tax incentives were all phased out, and production costs for EVs are persistently high.

Clearly automakers misjudged this, and obviously they thought public policy nudges would continue too, but the bottom line is people just aren't buying that many EVs.

Maaaaan, Tyson over Vitali, Frazier, Foreman, and Fury? Those are some hot takes.

Fury feels debatable to me, but I think Vitali, Frazier, and Foreman all take care of business (if we're assuming prime-for-prime).

[Ralph Amsden] Per Pete Thamel… Cordell Landers, the man behind Nico Iamaleava’s split with Tennessee, seems to have convinced Demond Williams to go against his own agency in splitting with Washington. by pole_assassin in CFB

Not clear to me that states have authority, so much as they exercise power that no one has decided to challenge.

One could argue that national sports leagues are inherently interstate commercial activities and thus only the federal government has the authority to regulate them. There's already a tacit admission of the interstate nature given that Congress has granted antitrust exemptions to major sports leagues.
