@stephenasmith listened to you on the radio yesterday. Love your position on college athletes not taking the brunt of the strike and getting their NIL. But what’s your solution? What if spurs and thunder boycott nba playoffs due to voter restrictions?
LA Rams are hiring Iowa State offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase as their Pass Game Specialist. The 33-year-old Scheelhaase, who played QB at Illinois, generated interest from NFL teams in recent years, and he now makes the move to the NFL to work under Sean McVay.
On November 12, 1996, Allen Iverson dropped 35 on the Knicks in a win at the Garden.
On November 12, 1996, I played five minutes and finished with two points in a Lakers win at Houston.
When I checked into my hotel room later that night and saw the 35 on SportsCenter, I lost it. I flipped the table, threw the chairs, broke the TV.
I thought I had been working hard.
Five minutes. Two points.
I needed to work harder.
I did.
On March 19, 1999, Iverson put 41 points and 10 assists on me in Philadelphia.
Working harder wasn’t enough.
I had to study this man maniacally.
I obsessively read every article and book I could find about AI. I obsessively watched every game he had played, going back to the IUPU All-American Game. I obsessively studied his every success, and his every struggle. I obsessively searched for any weakness I could find.
I searched the world for musings to add to my AI Musecage.
This led me to study how great white sharks hunt seals off the coast of South Africa.
The patience. The timing. The angles.
On Feb 20, 2000, in Philadelphia, PJ gave me the assignment of guarding AI at the start of the second half. No one knew how much this challenge meant to me.
I wanted him to feel the frustration I felt.
I wanted everyone who laughed at the 41 and 10 he put on me to choke on their laughter.
He would publicly say that neither of us could stop the other.
I refused to believe that.
I score 50.
You score zero.
THAT is what I believe.
When I started guarding AI, he had 16 at the half. He finished the game with 16.
Revenge was sweet.
But I wasn’t satisfied after the win. I was annoyed that he had made me feel that way in the first place.
I swore, from that point on, to approach every matchup as a matter of life and death. No one was going to have that kind of control over my focus ever again.
I will choose who I want to target and lock in.
I will choose whether or not your goals for the upcoming season compromise where I want to be in 20 years.
If they don’t, happy hunting to you. But if they do….
I will hunt you obsessively. It’s only natural.

The Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill for draft picks. They got one first round pick in the trade.
They used that pick on Trent McDuffie.
In their first meeting against Tyreek, McDuffie just ripped the ball from Tyreek to blow the game open.
They also won the Super Bowl in the interim
Coach Prime has put on a masterclass on how to be humble in victory and defeat. He hasn't disrespected one Coach! Pre game and after the game he uplifts every one of his opposing coaches.
Colorado Football Head Coach, Coach Prime addresses Dan Lanning
"I don't say stuff just to say it for a click, contrary to what somebodys saying. Yeah I keep receipts."
He said it prior to the season that CU is 7 to 8 dawgs away from where he needs it to be.
