    Extender reffing game 6 lakers warriors!

     

    Wow, thought for sure he was getting the Heat - Knicks game so everyone could hype up game 7 at THE GARDEN.

    What a wire-to-wire ass beating. Did NY ever get within 10?

    And that's despite Miami going 7-32 from 3.   Wasted opportunity for NY to at least make it competitive and get some confidence.

    This, team is much better ran than the cowboys and falcons.  But I’d rather see him in Dallas over Atlanta, who the hell is Atlanta’s QB?

    Desmond Ridder (Cinci QB).

    He perfectly serviceable to hand the ball off or throw to Drake London/Kyle Pitts.

    The good news…Bijan doesn’t go to Eagles. Bad news…the ATL coach will run him like Earl Campbell. Will use his ass up in three years.

    Nah, Falcons will have Bijan, Allgeier, and Patterson next year.  And Allgeier is signed through '25.  Even with a rush-heavy attack they shouldn't have to run Bijan into the ground.

    Minny is finished, but great effort to keep it close. Can't expect much more from an 8 seed. They really need KAT and Ant to take the next steps to get better, cause that roster is pretty much cap locked. 

    KAT is what he is at this point.  Minny just gotta hope he doesn't go downhill so quickly they can't foist him off on a GM as stupid as theirs.

    He is one a one year $800k contract. This is awesome. They will lose the series (again- Russ has only won one series since 2016) and lock him in on a multi-year contract. 

    Clippers only have Kawhi and PG locked in for next season (player option the following year).  Are they dumb enough to give Russ a multi-year deal given those circumstances?

    There are no big time jobs left open.

    only hope is larranaga retires at Miami if they win it all and he’s already said he’s coming back to Miami next year. 

    He's got plenty of time to cash in.  Shaka cashed in on that Final Four appearance 5 years later.

    I didn’t vote because the options are fucking dumb. 
     

    I would have voted had there been an option for:

    No

    No, I don’t own guns

    No, I don’t have a micro penis

    Agree on the options.  Are of them are slanted one way.

    I get not wanting to CR it up, but there's no need to go out of your way to pacify one side, i.e. "No, but not against it."

    Just stick to yes/no or purely situational.

    Yes.  All the time.

    Yes, but not all the time.

    No, but have one/more in the house/car.

    No.

    That's it.

  9. Kind of loaded options there.  "No, I'll take my chances if something happens?"  Way to present the option as you're taking some moderate chance of something bad happening because you don't have a firearm with you.

    Going by that type of logic, I should put a roll cage in the car because otherwise "I'll take my chances if something happens."

  10. To be fair, it's not like the "calories in < calories out fatass" crowd is completely wrong...they're just not helpful at all when they try to present it so simplistically.  Yes, you will lose weight if you ate less calories/better and exercised more.  That doesn't cover a wide variety of shit like what calories you are consuming, and as you and others have pointed out, also eating enough calories so that your body doesn't go into survival mode and hoard every single calorie because you're running a huge deficit.  That includes being able to snack sometimes if you are legitimately hungry, just make sure it's something healthy and not some chips/candy.

    My body also says he's wrong.  I probably eat better and work out more than 99% of Surly.  I weigh/measure and log everything that goes in my body.  I cook every day.  I do 1 hour HIIT classes 5-6 times per week.  But losing weight is a real bitch for me.  My Dr. has told me that if there is a famine, I'll be in great shape.  I need to lose 20-30# to be at a healthy weight.  Starting in Jan, I was eating ~2100 calories per day and could not lose weight (my BMR is 2300).  Started working with a dietician about a month ago and after talking through things with her, she increased my calories to almost 2300 per day.  Since then I'm losing ~1.5# per week.  What she said is that if the body thinks it's being starved, it will resist dropping weight.  If it is getting just enough nutrition, then it will let excess fat go.  I don't know the science behind it and it seems counter-intuitive to me, but I can tell you it has worked for me so far.  Hope it keeps working

    Starvation diets don't work.  I'm changing the way I eat for the rest of my life.  

    Starvation also isn't a long term solution, or even middle term solution because it's so disheartening to be hungry all the time and because you're on one of those plateaus you still don't drop much, if any weight.  No one's going to put up with being hungry/starving all the time even if they see some weight loss, let alone if the number isn't moving.

    No carbs or sugar there.

    Fred also worked in a rock quarry all day, threw another rock around whenever he went bowling, and had to run with that stupid car to get it started.  

    And he still wasn't skinny.

    Fair point but would you argue against UNC being a blue blood with only 1 title but multiple FF trips in the 60s/70s before Dean broke through in '82?  They became one of the top programs during that time same for Duke under Bubas. JMO, but I put relevancy of a program's BB status don't feel IU has been relevant for quite sometime and UCLA has done enough, Syracuse is a good argument same with Louisville, Mich. St. 

    To be honest, I have no idea.  I don't know exactly when each school got it's Blue Blood status.  I just know that by the time I was old enough to understand the concept of Blue Blood schools in a sport (mid-to-late 90s), UCLA, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, and Indiana were generally considered to be in that tier.

    Personally, I don't really consider UCLA or Indiana Blue Bloods right now.  But that's probably not a widely held opinion.  To me, they're something like "Blue Bloods in hibernation" or "Legacy Blue Bloods." They need another title from this century to get that full status restored.

    I'd probably throw in IU with UCLA also, but Bruin has had a decent string of FF runs especially in the 2000s. 

    Maybe, but Blue Bloods are basically established via titles, not final fours, correct?  Duke for example had a number of final fours in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, but they didn't get Blue Blood status until K won multiple (3+) titles.

    UCLA was THE Blue Blood by the time Wooden left, but have 1 title in 48 years since then, along with 4 other final four appearances.  Would anyone say that gets a school Blue Blood status?  If so, Syracuse is also a Blue Blood since Boeheim matched that in his tenure.

    If UConn pulls this off, they get included to the Blue Blood Club?  5 Titles in a 24 yr span is pretty damn good. 

    I'd say yes.  5 titles with 3 different head coaches in that scenario.

    Some bluebloods *cough, UCLA, cough* have done virtually nothing outside of one coach despite being given ample time.

    They are no doubt good but Zags d fucking blows. Against a better team (us) they may find it a little more difficult.

    Well yeah, I wouldn't expect UConn to be beating anyone else going forward by 30+ points with over 5 minutes left.

  18. History repeating itself indeed.  Gonzaga beats UCLA on a miracle/bad shot, the media starts saying this might be their year, then they promptly get the shit kicked out of them the next game.

    Penn st looking good/hot at the right time

    I think this is about to be the “chaos” region.
    UH with injury issues. 1 and 2 may not make the sweet sixteen 

    And I got the 12 and 13 winning in this region tomorrow

    South already laid a pretty strong claim to the "chaos" region.

    Dear ESPN, 

    K is not at Duke anymore, no reason to keep sucking them off. 

    CBK Fans

    Eh, I think this time around Duke might actually be peaking at the right time and has some matchups that should benefit them.  Usually the pundits are just picking them Coach K and starting off the season ranked in/near the top-5 and basically held serve the whole season...which means now they'll just lose to Oral Roberts.

  21. 18 minutes ago, Underdog said:

    Duke will probably get placed in the East with games in Greensboro and NYC. 

    No Greensboro in the East Region, they'd be playing in Albany.  If they want Greensboro, they'll have to go to the Mid-West region and probably have to deal with Kansas in KC if they make it that far.
