Ok, I will do the “yeah, but….” portion of this commentary.

If you have someone hanging on to your car, don’t you just stop? Especially a police person?

I mean, honestly?
Unless you didn’t realize the random human leaping at your car from the side was actually a cop. Might spook you…by accounts he drove 15-20 yards (or feet, can’t recall exactly what the reporter said) before he pulled over.

First thought was death was involved.
Vendor killed….very sad.

Because cops have never overreacted right?

Let’s hear the details before convicting…

“According to ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington, who witnessed the incident, Scheffler was trying to drive around the crash scene on a median. A police officer instructed Scheffler to stop, but Scheffler continued to drive about 10 to 20 yards toward the entrance.”

When a LEO tells you to do something, you do it, bad things tend to happen when you don’t.

To be fair the Police was just wearing a yellow jacket that didnt signal he was a cop. He could have easily thought it was a rent a security dude to handle parking at the tournament.

And why the hell is he driving himself? Does the PGA not have teamsters to shuttle them from the hotel and back? What a shit show for the PGA. A vendor dies at your event and your top star gets arrested by a local cop driving to the major.

Just think if the cop broke his wrist cuffing him

Yeah mentioned that before. I think we’ll find out it was a misunderstanding of the directions…we’ll see.

A lot of the scouts and mock drafts have Zaccharie Risacher as a top 3 prospect, but I dunno...
I've been less than impressed with his highlights. For one, he has a VERY slight build, he is going to require a lot of work in the weight room, and you never know what the end result might be. The other thing is he seems a little timid, a little apprehensive in his play, he doesn't exhibit the booming confidence of a Sarr or a Sheppard.

My current wish list.:
1. Sarr
2. Sheppard
3. Castle

4. Risacher

I mean, in an ideal world they would have extracted some value at the deadline, but next season was never about being competitive. The last thing the Wizards need to do is to try to be more competitive with modestly good vets like Jones. Stick with the deliberate rebuild.

Besides, I highly suspect one of their draft picks will be a PG.

Yes, this. I suppose they could have maybe gotten a pair of 2nds or a swap for Jones. But they didn’t. I’m sure they had their reasons.

This is a “hit piece”, which is unfounded. We all KNOW that the Wiz will stink for at least a 3yr period. That was yr 1.

Lots more to come, and Tyus Jones, god bless him, will not be a reason we either fail or succeed.

To state as such is simply click bait.

Inside the NBA is the gold standard for studio shows and it stinks that it won't be around after next year!

Instead we get to listen to Michael Wilbon talk basketball on the ESPN broadcast? No thanks!

I agree.

That said, you aren’t the only one that knows how good that group is. Someone (with a lot of $$$) will grab that group — hopefully in totem — and they will continue onward!

I hope NBA on NBC brings back the old music from the Jordan era. That song was dope
I wonder if Turner sports pushes hockey more now. The hockey pregame show is well done aswell Biz and Gretzky are way better then PK and Mess on espn.

A Blue Jays fan was hit in the head with a foul ball. She didn't leave the game. That's quite a bump. Tough girl!

First pic is Friday right after the game, second one is Sunday.

She now has her own Topps Baseball card.

Maybe I'm overly cautious but I would have taken myself to the hospital if my head swelled up like that. Especially in Canada, where I would not have to fear a $150,000 hospital bill showing up in the mail a week later.

If you have any reason in the US to fear a $150,000 hospital bill then you need to get better health insurance.
