  1. His family sure thinks so.
  2. Ostapenko is my jam! 😂 But Pegula ran into Buzzsaw Alexandrova today. (You never know which Alexandrova you’re going to get.)
  3. If Mukuba & QE flipped draft round projections, it would make more sense to me. Blue’s explosive speed justifies 1-3 teams seeing him as worthy of a 2nd pick for their scheme. QE’s play makes a 2nd round grade a potentially fireable misjudgment. CBS’s Fantasy Football Today crew were chuckling over QE’s throws the couple of years helping his receivers show off their catch radius because so many were off target. But… it only takes one scout to risk his job to pick a career backup in the 2nd round for it to happen.
  4. I hope not. I enjoy watching her melt down.
  5. Our cup runneth over! We got the California kid! This kicks ass! 🤘
  6. Yea! Hook’erz! The future is bright! 🤘
  7. Gunnar Helm on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football right now. (Might be a repeat from last hour.) They like him, of course Hope that he goes to the Broncos in the 3rd round. He is going to be a force in the NFL.
  8. He would not be the first BYU football player who did.
  9. The smart thing to do would be to stay at Texas and graduate… or go to a lower league like the Ivy League and play there. Leaving and going to a directional school in Louisiana or the Dakotas or what-have-you would not be a wise decision.
  10. SPANX for Elko *Fall 2025 Collection (in stores this June)
  11. I thought that he would have been a great USMNT manager in 2018 for these NextGen kids who have been unquestioned 1st team players for far too long, but he has been far too anti-establishment/ opposite of pay-for-play and therefore was never going to get a sniff.
  12. Some schools don’t start until mid September and then there is always January enrollment for injury replacement players who are still in the portal.
  13. That sounds like a heavy load to put on a kid.
  14. I have lived in LA county for 10-ish of the last 27 years and there is practically zero chance that I would have wanted to play football if I had grown up there. Surfing & soccer would have been my sports with a small chance of tennis.
  15. Throw in the Baylor kicker and the kicking portal seems to be extremely I-35 -centric. If you aren’t currently attending a school on I-35 and looking at schools on I-35, then you aren’t worth the NIL. …the University of Minnesota has entered the chat… Translation: “Asian girls who love millionaire starting QBs with Polynesian ties.” PS- The parents no longer have to haul their asses to eastern Tennessee in the Eastern time zone 8 times per season + other podunk locations. B1G schools are predominantly in, or close to non-stop cities.
  16. Even if Arch didn’t place out of some Math, English, and possibly Science/ Language/ History courses… …but coming from a prep school with tons of planning for his success, he probably placed out of 6 to 30 hours… …Arch will have completed 6 Fall/Spring Semesters and 3 double summer sessions by the end of this fall. That is the equivalent of 4 1/2 years to graduate while never having to worry about whether or not he could get into the class that he needed. And doing it with tutors for each & every class. Arch will have at least one degree before he leaves UT.
  17. I had absolutely nothing to do with this, but I applaud those who did. 👏👏👏👏 I fully endorse spending wealthy people’s money when it helps my favorite sports teams. 💰🏈💰🏈💰🏈💰🏈
  18. Duke’s Kon Knueppel has declared for the NBA draft. Duke freshman Kon Knueppel announced Wednesday on social media that he will enter the 2025 NBA draft and forgo his remaining college eligibility. Knueppel, the No. 8 prospect in ESPN's NBA draft projections, was Duke's second-leading scorer this season behind Cooper Flagg, averaging 14.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game while shooting 40.6% from 3-point range. He was named to the ACC All-Freshman team and All-ACC second team and helped lead the Blue Devils to the Final Four, where they lost in the semifinals to Houston. EDITOR'S PICKS Updated NBA mock draft: Two rounds, 59 picks and landing spots for tourney stars 6dJonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo Knueppel stepped up in a major way in the ACC tournament when Flagg went down early in the quarterfinals with an ankle injury, posting 63 points, 17 rebounds and 14 assists in three games to help Duke win the title, being named tournament MVP. He played an essential role in Duke's 35-4 season, shouldering significant shot-creation duties while spacing the floor effectively and holding his own defensively. He is an outstanding passer and saw quite a bit of offense operating out of pick-and-roll. He formed a unique tandem with Duke center Khaman Maluach, finding him 24 times this season for lob dunks. Knueppel brings a combination of competitiveness, feel for the game and versatility that will likely make him a seamless fit on any NBA roster. Hailing from Milwaukee, Knueppel wasn't named to last year's McDonald's All American Game despite leading the Nike EYBL grassroots circuit in scoring for three straight years at the 15U, 16U and 17U levels with Phenom University. He was named Wisconsin Player of the Year as a senior. His mother, Chari, is still the all-time leading scorer at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, while his father, also named Kon, scored more than 2,000 points at Division III Wisconsin Lutheran College. The NBA draft combine will be held May 11-18 in Chicago, and the draft will be June 25-26 in New York.

  19. I have an aunt who lived in White Plains when my family visited her family back when I was 12, so this hits close to home.
  20. …and Persian. …and black. …and Hispanic. …and 👽.
  21. He’ll be getting all of that anal sex out of his system so that he can focus on football when he comes back.
