Can't wait for Warriors to mortgage their future for a geriatric superteam, then get scheduled for scads of high-profile games in which at least 2 of their top 4 are injured + they struggle mightily to make the play-in, while some dipshit columnist writes they are still dangerous
THANK YOU!!!!!
Where did the athletic ability go?
Clutch hitting in the 8th and 9th inning?
Starting pitching that goes 8 or 9 innings?
Base stealing-hell just good base running and SPEED?!?
Sac bunts-moving runners over late in a game?
Where’s Tony Gwynn? Rod Carew?
Wade Boggs? Ichiro?
Those guys wouldn’t exist in today’s ridiculous HR or K “launch angle” game!
The game has been dying with the youth of America for YEARS and now is losing the core fanbase as well with this ridiculous product we’ve had to digest for the last 7-10 years.
Bring back Small Ball and athleticism…this shit dreadful!!!
Channing Frye says the LaMelo Ball trade is huge sign about the league and it’s self, what it’s saying is we’re going back to the big three wave:
“Because if you look at this year who won, right? It was OG the do all, KAT your talent, and Jalen Brunson, right? Then you back to who won last year, Jalen Willams, SGA, and Chet. Then let’s say if the Spurs would have won they would have had Wemby, so-and-so and so-and-so. So now you look at what’s the recipe for winning, and you’re going what do we need? So we got Jaden McDaniels has took a huge step, we have our superstar, now we need that guy who’s gonna make everyone else better. To get a guy like LaMelo who at times has been questioned about his seriousness of basketball, you put him with them dogs, right? Now he’s not the main guy anymore, he’s with one of the top five, top ten best players in the league, who is upmost competitive, then you put him with Jaden McDaniels his attitude and the culture of the Minnesota Timberwolves is going to change him for the better.”

Joe Haden says most people have no idea how quickly an NFL contract disappears once taxes and family expenses hit.
“I signed a five-year, $50 million contract.”
“I had about $26.6 million guaranteed.”
“My first year, I got a $12 million signing bonus.”
“After taxes, I only touched around $7 million.”
“The first thing I did was give my parents $3 million.”
“Then I bought them a $1 million house.”
“So right away, about $5 million was gone.”
“I bought my brothers cars.”
“I bought myself a penthouse.”
“I got a Range Rover Sport and a Bentley GT.”
“People hear $50 million and think you’ve got $50 million sitting in the bank.”
“That’s not how it works.”
“You look up after all that and realize you might only have around $1 million left.”
“You start understanding real quick that a $50 million contract is not actually $50 million.”
“That’s why so many guys go broke.”
