LeBron takes the bare minimum to play in Philadelphia. We knew he would take less and doesnt need it but this is almost disrespectful. I’d love to know if any of the other teams offered him more or if everybody just said we’d love to have you as long as your dirt cheap
Recalling Steven A’s comment on the demographic composition of the Lakers. LeBron takes no money to go to Philadelphia. His role will be no more, and in fact, probably less than the role which seemed to dissatisfy him with the Lakers. Could the basis for this decision, be racial?
Why do normal Americans start talking European because it’s a soccer. Nothing becomes nil A field is a pitch. A tie is level. They remind me of people who eat Chinese food with chopsticks. They use them for the house fried rice, but would never use them for rice a roni
The difference between football and soccer (and I’m not gonna call it futbol— English please)is like the difference between Pawn Stars and Antiques Road Show.
Baseball HOF voters recent and growing obsession with WAR is probably what is keeping Mattingly Garvey Bell, and Murphy out. The informal threshold is 60 WAR for a career and none of them are even at 50. Garvey is under 40. Right or wrong this is a real thing.
I told Maddog today Kent election increases the likelihood for Whitaker. The other guy it helps as much is Chase Utley. I think they both get in now. They both dwarf Kent in WAR and that’s a crucial metric to these voters.
@RobbySilv@MadDogUnleashed@MadDogRadio@wbslobin@AnthonyFodale@BobPagesports Thank you. And an interesting fact, he dwarfs Kent in wins against replace and on both a cumulative career basis and per 162 games. The rule of thumb is 60 WAR is Hall of Fame. Kent is 55.5 and Whitaker is 75. He’s getting in.
@lindacohn congratulations on your retirement and a great career and the best part is now you will have maybe some spare time and can come back to hosting on mad dog sports talk. I miss calling you.
@1TomByrne another point no one is mentioning. If Wembanyama‘s counterpart, Carl Anthony Townes wins MVP that only further underscores Wembanyama‘s weak performance.
@MikeMeltser you have to admit all to you yesterday challenging that guy‘s assertion about John Shire looked pretty good at the moment. Sometimes I guess I get lucky.
