College basketball is not the

College basketball is not the only avenue for professional level talent. Europe is a viable option for professional level talent. If someone can't make it professionally in Europe or doesn't want to try then they can enjoy their well paid internship in which they are a cog in machine that makes a lot of money of which they will see very little. It's an opportunity not an end point.

The NBA isn't an option but Europe is an option. It's not college basketball or bust if a player is good enough. The NCAA is the more convenient and easier option. The price of that convenience is tuition instead of a game check.

I just don't understand why

I just don't understand why someone would intentionally use an inferior vehicle. Personally, I'd choose the highest quality and therefore safest option since my family is my first concern.

The "article" is a disservice

The "article" is a disservice to everyone involved. It is short and shallow. 

If he drops to the late

If he drops to the late lottery it may be better for his career. I doubt this affects his stock much. His struggles lately on the court are a different matter.

Both parties look bad after

Both parties look bad after an incident like this one. Smart should have kept his cool. He should be suspended. The superfan looks bad and should be barred from attending games. This isn't his first incident and he isn't attending pro games. He shouldn't be getting involved with amateur athletes.

When does the phrase mean

When does the phrase mean what people think it means?

(% of pop misuing term or phrase) x (# of years misused) = New meaning/additional meaning officially added

Perhaps a result of 5 or above should be the benchmark. If 50% of users use a term incorrectly for 10 years then .5x10=5 and a new meaning is added to the definition.

I'm sure an interested and industrious fellow could create a proper equation or link to one that already exists.

You don't have to agree with people being offended by swear words but you should be able to comprehend the position.

The board has been too

The board has been too bi-polar lately. It seems every thread is filled with idiotic insults toward thing X or idiotic support for thing X.

How do you have a sports discussion with no criticism?

Would it kill you to show

Would it kill you to show respect to other posters on the board? You managed to throw an insult into almost every one of your posts in the discussion you were having. The other poster committed no offense other than disagreeing with you. He could make the same brick wall comment about you.

Grow up.

Can that conversation stay in the other thread? Take Mr. Brown's post for what it is and leave it at that.

No one playing for Michigan is a kid. Also, criticizing is not the same as being disrespectful.

My unsolicited advice is for

My unsolicited advice is for you to take a minute and do some research (how interviews work whether entertainment or not) and then take another minute and flesh out what discussion you are actually trying to have. If you want to have a real discussion you might also want to leave out statements such as "...I do know that NCAA football is little more than indentured servitude." Those comments lead down different paths than what you appear to want to discuss. Also, I am not trying to be a jerk.

You are delusional.

You are delusional.

Perhaps the rest of the community reserves their concern for issues that are actually issues. You have worked yourself up over a harmless skit. If you find this skit border-line offensive then I don't see how you can visit MGoBlog at all. Many of the memes on this site stereotype other groups for comedic value. Your last four sentences or so make it seem as though you have never visited the site before.

You may also want to reconsider what the role of comedy is or can be in society.

I fail to see how 'ruin porn' is a moral issue. Detroiters, and possibly others in failing areas, are really sensitive about because obviously. No one else need feel guilt over the issue.

The draft won't be entertaining either.

I accepted his invitation as well principally because he spent so much time being defensive about his opinion. Just give your opinion and have the confidence to move on.

Why are you trying to change

Why are you trying to change the argument and bring chauvinism into the conversation? Have you run out of legitimate ways to defend your point of view? Also, the term girl is equivalent to the term guy in the world in which I live.

You should have put an /s at the end of your post. It's the internet and sarcasm does not translate well. Why do you think people started using /s?

I would have rather had a USA-Mex game from a rivalry/quality of play standpoint. The humiliation of Mexico is nice though.

I am going to guess that had Morrison just stood near the patrol car as he was told and then listened to his lecture about respecting the law (or something of that nature) then the guy (he is not a kid) would have been sent home. Instead he got arrested because he is an idiot.

No, Ainge just happened to be there when McHale gave up on Minny. It was a joke that clearly missed the mark.

What is the point in making a move just to make a move? This is Ben Gordon and Charlie V part II. Overspending on mediocre players that won't win you a title but will prevent you from having the chance to draft someone who will is bad policy. You end up with the Pistons of the last few years.

No one enjoys that.

Slow your roll buddy. McHale

Slow your roll buddy. McHale re-established the Celtics as a power franchise just a few short years ago.

I'm still suprised Gooch got the call. I'm interested in what Corona does and if Castillo can show anything in mid.

I fail to see how the

I fail to see how the presence of better players on the '97 defense matters. Ray was part of an iconic play/photo from that season. When someone is a part of such a play they get remembered. What does Shazor being a forgotten man have to do with Marcus Ray?

Or when they moved to Utah.

Sambora pointed this out

Sambora pointed this out further down the thread but Brunner reminds me of Leino. They both came in at about the same age and both had similar first season results. They started hot and then fizzled. I would like Brunner to return but only on a short deal and cheap which won't happen.

Thinking that a guy who is reaching his developmental peak will get better just because he has another year in the league rarely seems to work out for teams.

It would appear that winning a Cup is not a priority for him.

I understood Tranquill's comment to mean that they want him but that they already offered someone and it is that guy's spot to lose. Had the SMSB camp happened before any offers he may have gotten it first.

I'm not saying he isn't a backup plan but the quote just informs us of the approach the staff takes to offers.

Don't worry. the next time Scout, Rivals, etc.

Don't worry. the next time Scout, Rivals, etc. update their rankings we will find out they are 4 star prospects and were really blue chip type players all along.

I would upvote you 1,000 times if I could. It looks like they are going to let it ride with Brandon Knight and that is a shame.

I believe he was punished

I believe he was punished because he used the Supplemental draft even though he was still eligible to play his senior year. He faced a suspension but the NCAA did not remove his eligibility and he wasn't even kicked off the team.
