OT: Other Sports aka #Broncos #SellRockiesSell #Nuggets

[famicommander]

Nuggets average attendance
2016-17: 14,770 (30th)
2017-18: 17,109 (20th)

Avalanche average attendance
2016-17: 14,835 (25th)
2017-18: 15,183 (26th)

Mammoth average attendance
2017: 14,458 (3rd)
2018: 13,343 (2nd)

All three teams should finish their current seasons strong, so this year's numbers should inch upward for all of them.

Nuggets had a huge recovery. The rise of Jokic, Murray, and Harris mirrors the rise of the franchise as a whole.

Avs are starting to bounce back, but they fell in ranking by one spot due to Vegas. If they make the playoffs they should really start to get back to decent levels next year.

Mammoth, and the entire NLL, have suffered at the gate because they started the season 5 weeks earlier this year and ended up with much more conflict with other sports and way smaller walk-up crowds. Lot of Friday games this year, whereas Saturday is always their strongest.

 

[famicommander]

Jokic tonight
23 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 blocks, 3 steals

Get this guy a real coach.

Harris went down though. Hopefully not too bad. Stayed in to shoot the free throws and limped off, didn't return.

 

[Bonzai12]

Jokic tonight
23 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 blocks, 3 steals

Get this guy a real coach.

Didn’t they win?

How has Hogg looked Adam besides the 6 nations? Seems that him and Scotland really struggled, I thought effin Italy was more impressive than them. Also it sounds like Georgia might be taking Italia's spot, any word on this?

There is talk about changing the teams around. Italy really haven't kicked on and there is a clear class difference but swapping them out would seem like a huge backwards step. Georgia deserve to be there as much as Italy but there's no way the league will expand because the schedule is too long as it is.

Scotland are trending up but they are still too inconsistent. They beat Australia twice last year, beat England in the 6 nations, and should've beaten Ireland if they had taken their chances in the first half. They are easily my favourite team to watch thought. They are tough up front but have so much creativity in the backs with guys like Hogg, Russell and Jones. They play really exciting fast paced rugby. They just need to learn how to win consistently and they will be a force.

Michael Malone is in full "save my job" mode.

 

[Bonzai12]

if they're going to replace him, they'll probably have to wait until the NCAA's are over, unless you want a recycled NBA assistant. Ettore Messina would probably be ok (from the Spurs), but I'd rather have the coach from UVA. Messina probably would not leave the Spurs right away as well.

It's easy to say a coach should be fired - but there's not really many proven guys out there that are better. There was already a large dropoff from Karl to Brian Shaw...it would be a disaster to bring someone in that's inexperienced and watch the Nuggets fall even further behind. Both Messina and the UVA coach would be inexperienced and you'd be rolling the dice but they're probably the best 2 options.

Meanwhile - Becky Hammons is being rumored as the next CSU head coach. Good for her. I'd like that move.

 

[Pokecheque]

Hammons would be the first good move that idiotic Athletic Department in Ft. Collins has made in a very, very long time.

And now everyone goes and googles UMBC to figure out where it is. But congrats to them.

 

[RockLobster]

Thank you, Virginia, for overshadowing Wichita State shitting the bed this afternoon.

 

[ASmileyFace]

LOL wtf UVA

 

[Bonzai12]

Well it’s only took like what? 2 days for my bracket to completely bust

Any maybe we should hire that UVA coach. He’d fit in choking nicely for the Nuggets

 

[Bonzai12]

Italy-Scotland what a match.

Italy was completely gassed though in those last 20 mins

 

[ASmileyFace]

Who do you guys have on your bracket? I’m taking Virgina over Duke in the finals. Will really enjoy that result if it does indeed happen.

I know you've already posted about this but still.... lol

 

[InjuredChoker]

jets trade up to #3.

 

[Hasbro]

That complicates things for the Broncos.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Complicates things for the Browns too.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Complicates things for the Browns too.

how? they go QB at #1. they can still trade down or take minkah/barkley/chubb at #4.

there was never a chance they were going to pass on QB #1. not after their trade downs the past couple of years.



broncos either trade up to #2 or they take a risk that all the top QBs are gone by the time 5th pick at the draft comes around.

With more thought I guess you're right. I thought I read that they really like Barkley. I guess with the Jets moving up to #3 that actually increases the odds that he drops to #4 since the Jets will pick a QB there.

good chance they like barkley or even love him.

can't afford to miss out on a QB for a RB.

 

[quesosauce]

browns will pick barkley at one, and pick the QB left at 4, probably Allen

 

[Bonzai12]

Jets were in attendance for Rosen’s pro day and Mayfield’s.

I think they are moving up for Rosen.

Giants were not at Rosen’s pro day. Browns didn’t attend Rosen or Mayfield.

I gotta think the top 5 go - 1) Allen 2) Barkley/Nelson 3) Rosen 4) Barkley/Chubb 5) Mayfield

I can’t believe the Browns are focused on Allen but I’m starting to buy more and more into that every day.

 

[kl35ha]

I don’t think the nuggets are going to make the playoffs. Malone is going to be gone. Still can’t believe Millsap is getting pay 30mils for playing like ****...

Moments like this are why the browns are a terrible franchise

 

[Hasbro]

Jets were in attendance for Rosen’s pro day and Mayfield’s.

So was Elway. We'll see if he drive up to Larmie to buy some fireworks.

Now if Darnold, Rosen and Mayfield are gone at #5, I'm all for taking Nelson or Chubb with the possibilty of trying to trade back into the 1st for Lamar which would be difficult or making the trade down to Buffalo with the idea they'd want Allen.

 

[Bonzai12]

I think Allen's gone by the time the Broncos pick comes around. Darnold and Allen's pro days are still coming up - will be interesting to see if the Browns attend both, one, or none of them. They evidently were not interested in Mayfield or Rosen to go to either one of those guy's days. I really do believe the Browns want Allen, as crazy as hell as that sounds. I don't think he's worth it.

I believe the Broncos are after Mayfield and Rosen from just all the media tidbits I've seen. Draftanalyst.com rumored the Broncos prefer Rosen #1 above everyone else, and the Mayfield/Elway/Kubiak comments towards each other are just becoming more frequent and nauseating at this point.

The Broncos are in a tough spot though because they'll now have to move up and pay the same cost the Jets just paid to get to #2, and that's assuming the Giants don't want a QB. And the Jets paid dearly for that move up the board according to all the different variations of draft charts out there. I guess the Broncos could trade up to the Browns #4 for cheap but this is getting a little precarious - it's hard to imagine that all 4 of these QBs (Allen/Darnold/Rosen/Mayfield) are going to make it. Do you really want to give up the draft capital that the Jets just did to take a flier on one of these guys? I would if a guy was "can't miss" but I don't think any of these 4 are in that category - maybe Rosen.
