Mehn! The supermax contract was supposed to level the playing field but it's been more of a team killer. Only the super super elite players like Kawhi, AD, Lebron, Giannis, KD, Curry and soon Doncic should get it.

Almost all the teams who have given out the super max extension are having issues filling out the rest of the roster and it kills team flexibility.
Portland and okc with Westbrook comes to mind.

In Portland's case Lillard was just being greedy, you know your limitations and your need for help yet you couldn't take a slight pay cut to get the necessary help.
He doesn't get scrutinize enough like Harden and Co because he gives one faux appearance of "loyalty" to hide the fact that he doesn't have the balls to do whatever it takes to win a title.

Who doesn't know Cowboy came for the money?
The UFC has lost it's grit and turned something close to WWE. I'd rather keep up with Glory these days.

Honestly the guy has been making a lot of noise himself. He seems to think it's Jorge and the rest. I hope he gets the Kamaru fight, so he can be put in his place.

A40:
I hope they give Masvidal to Kamaru next. Sick of his fanboys all over the interweb fronting like Masvidal isn't 3-2 in his last 5 fights and is trending because he beat a few washed up names

Lol. I don't think he threw the fight like people are speculating, cowboy just isn't that type of person. Whatever it was, cowboy deserved a red panty night.

The UFC is trying to go mainstream and appeal to larger audiences so they have to play to their strengths and make their superstars like Mcgregor look good. It's good for the sport IMO as long as it doesn't turn into boxing. And one thing with the UFC is their matchmaking is impeccable, the best always fight the best.

Yeah I see Kamaru khabibing him with a quickness. TBH I think the best card for the UFC to play is conor vs masvidal. Fairer fight and sells loads. And can you imagine a press conference between those two?

These guys just continue to find ways to drag the beautiful game of baseball back to the dirt. The MLB has done an impressive job in reducing the use of steroids and beating scandals and I can imagine it must be frustrating for true lovers of the game to see another play calling scandal.

the astros? Such a disappointment! I liked that team and especially altuve, but with all thats going now; it puts a lot of their accomplishments- especially the world series in question.

How about A. Cora and the Red Sox? I am even more disappointed in that one because he knew better! I love the game of baseball and like I said earlier, Manfred and the MLB have put a lot of effort in curbing these scandals but some guys are just insufferable cheats. I will support any punishment on the players and I don’t even mind stripping the teams involved of their World Series title. I wonder how Pete Rose feels right now!

Cora? Hes the worst!!! He was like the mastermind behind the whole thing. And Manfred has been pretty adamant about not punishing players. My guy(Clayton Kershaw) could have had a ring by now if not for that sign stealing astros. I don't think the red sox were involved tho' and pete rose? Get that man in the hall of fame- betting ain't sign stealing.

Kershaw is a serial chocker in the post season, don’t get me wrong, he is a beast in the regular season but if it possible to sit him in the post season, I will at this point because his post season ERA is horrible.
If Pete Rose gets in then everyone will make arguments for Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens (PED). The Red Sox were heavily involved bro, in 2018, they illegally used video replay rooms to steal signs.

Lord have mercy! Mahomes is a problem!!!!

maybe Kershaw reputation In the post season would not be this bad if he maybe they didn't know his pitches beforehand. I know he had that all time meltdown against nationals, BT...astros and red sox? He did play them in consecutive world series. The dominoes effect of this sign stealing makes you question a lot of things.

One last time.

You are stating the obvious my G.

Baba, the kid is the TRUTH!

I hear you fam! I am an avid baseball fan bro, you should see me during the post season especially when my Cubbies are involved!
For new watchers it can be a very long game. Lol.

Patrick Mahomey is a beast.

The next play for the chiefs IMHO is at ownership level. They have to push for a clause that ensures the QB salary does not cause a cap hit in the upcoming CBA negotiations.
Then you can pay Mahomes what he deserves and still be able to put the required pieces around him for the next decade plus.

I have accepted it a Long time ago hence why I say He continues down this trajectory, His place amongst the Top 5 QBs of all Time is all but guaranteed. Lawd pls don't let this Kid suffer any serious injury.

LOL I don't know How you do it Bro. The few times I have been to Baseball games in the states, it was nothing more than a Day out with Friends. Tried following it but still no luck. Even Cricket(that I kind of follow....Well National.Team)is moving with Modern times. The 20 and 50 overs form are now the Most popular forms for spectators.

I try to see at least one game each season. It has been difficult recruiting younger fans particularly in small markets or cities without a team. It remains America’s past time and the follower-ship is still strong but I think MLB can do better in making the game more attractive for the younger generation.

Too many missed tackles!

Arod is doing his bit, can the defense just show up

That defense can not stop a mice, worse still, they can’t tackle to save their lives.

The packers defense has turned tackling into a combination of string theory, quantum mechanics and game theory.
This is disgusting, their GM needs to try for Amari Cooper and add size to both the O-line and D-line

They need to add Randy Moss. Jerry Rice and Tony Gonzalez. Since Aaron Rodgers needs all-pro receivers Everytime to get anything done

Lool he did his bit but they scored 0 points in the first half. Shey e no dey tire una ni? When does the time come when you stop making excuses for this man.

He threw a pick and refused to go down to try and recover that fumble in a game they were already down 3 scores and where he had already thrown a pick

Anyway the outcome was inevitable like I said last week when celebrations were happening prematurely

Mahomes came back from 10pt deficits twice in one game but Rodgers stank up the joint till the lead ballooned out of control. Then started doing a Dak Prescott racking up yardage with the game lost and throwing in a couple of TD scores to pad numbers.

You can't bring up tackling or defense when Rodgers did not score a single point in an entire half. You are not converting first downs and keeping the 49ers offense off the field so how does the defense cope?

A40 has been vindicated with his stance on Rodgers. I used to think it was hate before. But A40 is right.

Mahomes in Stephen A voice is a baaaad man

Hehehehe. I'm always right. It's not even hate. It's just so annoying because since I have been following Sports I have never seen one player that pundits and fans alike go out of their way to make excuses for quite like Aaron Rodgers.

I was watching First Take on Friday and Stephen A was making excuses for a potential loss already before the game was even played

Ok look at this thread for example. Notice nobody brought up the interception or the fact that Rodgers failed to get his team within field goal range the entire first half. Last week nobody was praising the receivers, the O-Line that gave Rodgers time to throw. The defense for holding the Seahawks to a laughable rushing total. It was all Rodgers.
