My God he is going to be coach for life. Come back Bruce Coslet, all is forgiven!!!
If you aren't flipping to the basketball Buckeyes during CBJ timeouts, you may want to do so (channel 10 in C-Bus).
Alabama's comeback was amazing. A kid who'd never taken a snap gets it done.
Congrats to Sabin and his 6th National Championship.
Unfortunately this accomplishment will overshadow his polio vaccine...
I've missed your groaners. This one was especially groanful.
Albert Sabin talked at my college commencement. Boring would be a polite way of describing his speech.
Brady and Belichick going for SB win #6. How insanely good is that?
In terms of excitement, this year's game can't top last year's. Can it?
So the Cavs just traded half of their roster today as it's Trade Deadline day. The deadline ends at 3PM EST.
In:
George Hill, Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr
Out:
Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Channing Frye, Derrick Rose, Iman Shumpert, Dwyane Wade, CLE 1st Round Pick
In essence, the Cavs trade Kyrie Irving for Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn 1st round pick. What a disaster.
PG: Clarkson, Hill, Calderon
SG: Hood, Smith, Osman
SF: James, Green, Korver
PF: Love, Nance Jr
C: Thompson, Zizic
In:
George Hill, Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr
Out:
Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Channing Frye, Derrick Rose, Iman Shumpert, Dwyane Wade, CLE 1st Round Pick
Literally have even heard of like three of those players, and two only because they're either named for or (I'm assuming) the offspring of a player I've heard of. (Oops, Rose, so four.)
That team MIGHT be better for the remainder of the year, but holy moly they are going to be garbage beyond that. (Also worth noting they helped the Lakers clear cap space for next season and beyond by getting Clarkson and Nance). That Irving trade (which looked slightly defensible/understandable at the time) is a trash fire now.

Yeah, I think they improved their roster for the rest of this season. Nance is a good defender. Clarkson is also capable and will be getting better looks than he had in LA, so maybe he can improve is dismal outside shooting. Losing Crowder, IT, and Rose are additions in themselves as they were all team cancers. I think they will regret losing Frye though, just for the locker room and I guess the Warriors might pick him up off waivers.
I'll say this, I think the Cavs actually improved their roster for the future too. Hill can play and has term, Clarkson and Nance are a youngish pieces, and Hood is a young player who can grow in a bigger role. If the Cavs can strike gold and win the lottery for the right to draft Trae Young, which is exactly what they need, then LeBron's decision could really help the Cavs either continue to contend for titles, or get the rebuild off to a great start.
new Clippers alternate caps (appear to be replacing the royal blue and red caps - although the latter seems likely to remain the bp cap), the one on the right seems to suggest the Clippers may be doing an "Indians" uniform like the Monsters' "Jackets" uniforms.
