    OT: Sports Illustrated is dead

    I have been a subscriber for more than 40 years. Sports Illustrated has always been a mixed bag. Alot of their articles were and are fluff. By that I mean an athlete would be having a successful season and an article was soon to follow praising the athlete for every aspect of his or her life...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 6 Penn State

    Unless NU devised a play worth 21 points for Sullivan, Sullivan passing the ball and the fake kneel down couldn’t be more different. Apples and oranges. Teams that are down 21 points don’t stop trying to score. Teams that are up 21 points do. And if the team that is up 21 points wants to run up...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 6 Penn State

    Running a fake kneel down play doesn’t prepare the backups for anything. If and when they are called on to play they will be facing a defense ready to play against a legitimate offense.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 6 Penn State

    The replay showed that he brought his knee within a couple of inches of the ground. That doesn’t look like someone preparing to run. The rules expert called it a fake kneel down. I didn’t see anything to question his expert judgement.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 6 Penn State

    No excuse for that fake kneel down play and clearly scripted by the coaches. So bad that one of the announcers had to provide cover by ridiculously claiming the qb was faking a run. As usual no one wanted to call out Franklin for what he is.

    I know it wasn’t the main point of your post, but Villanova is not in an urban location. (Maybe you’re thinking of Temple or Penn?) Any adjustment to the school ‘s location, if any, would be that it is surrounded by residential suburban wealth. Evanston is way more urban than the town of...

    Mich / Wisc Brawl

    I just reviewed comments on twitter and I’m surprised to see the number of people who are defending Howard. The typical tweet in support of him relies, in the absence of any evidence, on a narrative that somehow Gard provoked Howard. Somehow from seeing two guys jawing at each other they can...

    NLRB decision on athletes as employees

    Darren72 gave the correct answer. What he stated is a fact, not opinion. Once you accept a fact as a fact, there really is no room for alternate explanations based on opinion.

    Wow! Roger Federer retires and joins Michael Jordan to buy NBA Team!

    If you read the whole article they admit it’s their version of an April Fool’s joke

    OT: Bamboo plant

    A neighbor two houses down from me planted it. It spread through my next door neighbor's backyard and now I have to regularly go out with shears and round-up to keep it from taking over my yard. I just refuse to go to the expense of having a trench and barrier built because of something a...

    OT: Bamboo plant

    For all the reasons you stated, it is illegal to plant it in my township. For all of us who live near where it was planted before it was legislated against it’s an ongoing problem.

    The NCat Logo

    I’m a big fan of the NCat logo. The purple N means nothing or confuses most people where I live on the East Coast. I've had people stop me and ask me if I'm wearing a Niagara University hat. Their school color is also purple. On the other hand when I wear my hat displaying the NCat there ‘s no...
