1 year 4 weeks ago	Don't hockey players remove	Don't hockey players remove their helmets and gloves to intentionally deal blows to heads? Isn't that something that happens every game? And it's not like it's in the run of play.
1 year 4 weeks ago	Not saying he shouldn't be	Not saying he shouldn't be suspended, but didn't this happen in hockey like 15 times in the past 3 days?
1 year 5 weeks ago	Seriously though the NBA is	Seriously though the NBA is for criminals
1 year 5 weeks ago	THUGS! CRIMINALS! ALL NHL	THUGS! CRIMINALS! ALL NHL PLAYERS!!
1 year 8 weeks ago	Not to take anything away	Not to take anything away from this as an admirable action, but why does every single mention of the NBA on this blog have to reference how despicable the league and/or its players are? You don't have to like the league, but those of us who follow it closely know that there's no reason to think most players aren't by and large good people.
1 year 13 weeks ago	1.) Sport Management at	1.) Sport Management at Michigan is essentially a business degree. Almost a third of the people in my classes are pre-law, and plenty go on to work for financial firms that have nothing to do with sports. Not that working in sports is even something to sneeze at. 2.) Sports movement is not a major that is offered... Maybe they meant Movement Science? Most of those kids are pre-med.
1 year 14 weeks ago	Ok this is just inaccurate on	Ok this is just inaccurate on a number of levels. For one, the assertion that players, particularly point guards, in the NBA don't have "developed" games is ridiculous. The NBA is loaded with loaded with point guard talent right now, and to suggest that Chris Paul and Deron Williams aren't "developed" is nonsensical. For two, I wouldn't even consider Jeremy LIn an "all-around" player. I want to take nothing away from his accomplishments because what he is doing is truly sensational, but dude has flaws. He shot well this past game, but he has a funky shot and it remains to be seen whether or not he can be a consistent jump shooter. He gets most of his points via penetration to his right, and is definitely not ambidextrous yet.  He also very much relies on his size and athleticism. He's not Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook, but he's also much bouncier than say, Steph Curry and way stronger than a Nash. His 6-3 200 frame allows him to absorb contact in the lane and he has the hangtime and strength to finish tough layups. D-Mo has the size but is not as quick or athletic as Lin (and is even more right-dominated). In conclusion, Lin is plenty fun to watch, and so far looks to be an excellent player, but he's not really a revelation stylistically, and shouldn't be used to bash the NBA.
1 year 14 weeks ago	Not stupid.	I took a flier on him after his first game and let's just say it has paid off.

1 year 24 weeks ago	The majority of people don't	The majority of people don't hate Tim Tebow and I hate how the media paints that picture

1 year 28 weeks ago	With Baits unexpectedly	With Baits unexpectedly closing in addition to the scheduled East Quad closing next year, Northwood I-III will be almost entirely freshman next year.
1 year 35 weeks ago	Based on how Stanford has	Based on how Stanford has looked this season and their schedule, I wouldn't be surprised if they go undefeated and I highly doubt ND beats them.
1 year 35 weeks ago	Well, looks like Pitt and	Well, looks like Pitt and Cuse to ACC are official according to ESPN bottom line, and potentially UConn and Rutgers to follow.
1 year 41 weeks ago	The MLS is certainly growing,	The MLS is certainly growing, largely because they are being smart about where they are expanding (unlike the NHL). Seattle, Philly, and Portland have all been great examples, and I guarantee Montreal will have great attendance when they enter the league next year. That being said, the gains the league has made is often overstated. The most spacious NBA and NHL arenas only hold at most a little over 20,000, and the majority hold fewer than that. Many MLS teams now have their own stadiums which hold about that, but their attendance numbers are skewed by the Sounders and a little by the Galaxy as well, who play in larger venues (although they are also a little negatively skewed by the Earthquakes, whose stadium only holds 10,000).  Attendance by percentage of capacity still lags behind the NBA and NHL, and I bet there are certain teams in those leagues who could sell out 25,000 most games if they had the opportunity. Soccer is really only as high as the second most popular sport in Seattle (behind football) and Portland (behind basketball). In most places, it's still lucky to be fourth, if not fifth (I'm not including NASCAR). I think soccer will pass hockey on a national scale within the next thirty years, but the MLS still has a ways to go if it's gonna rival basketball or baseball.

1 year 41 weeks ago	Lions aren't really	Lions aren't really struggling with attendance, #2 in the league in new ticket sales and even last year ended up selling out 7 of 8 home games, hell I think the Monday night is already sold out for this year. Hype was not solely on Leshoure's shoulders. That being said, I'd rather a bigger back than Hart. I'm ready for Hart to quit pro football to join the Michigan coaching staff so he can take over for Hoke.
1 year 41 weeks ago	The Tigers don't have one	The Tigers don't have one game left against the Red Sox, Yankees, Angels, or Rangers. This schedule should get them to the playoffs regardless. Once the playoffs start, the Tigers are way overmatched anyway.
1 year 41 weeks ago	Maybe if they were in any	Maybe if they were in any other division, but since EVERYONE in the Central has a negative run margin, it's probably not a big deal.
1 year 41 weeks ago	I love hip hop but I know	I love hip hop but I know some people who don't like it simply because they prefer singing. It's gonna be hard to convince those people regardless of how quality the song is. It's super annoying when people attack the genre because of its perceived simplicity, but ultimately people are entitled to their opinion. I hate pretty much all rap on the radio, but passing judgement on it/people that like it is really just as bad as people twho dismiss the entire genre. To each their own, negative opinions are unnecessary IMO.

1 year 44 weeks ago	You'll be fine, I had similar	You'll be fine, I had similar grades and test scores, coming from out of state and this seemed higher than average. Out-of-state can get really interesting with these weird GPAs. I know in my county in Florida, there is no limit to how high it can go. Our valedictorian graduated with a 6.6 GPA, hard to compare that.

1 year 47 weeks ago	Did you really just... insult	Did you really just... insult my user name?
1 year 47 weeks ago	Thank You. The NBA isn't	Thank You. The NBA isn't going anywhere, the sentiment of this board is not the national sentiment. Basketball is still much more popular than hockey nationwide. I don't understand why people on this board feel the need to bash it so often, I was really hoping this thread would be a place where NBA fans reflect on what the lockout would mean. But of course we just get attacks full of negativity and subtle racism, not sure why I should have expected better.
1 year 47 weeks ago	I like the NBA. At times 100%	I like the NBA. At times 100% effort is not given through a long regular season, but in my perception, for the most part to say they are not trying is not accurate. People are entitled to their opinion, but I for one am incredibly saddened by the potential of losing a season when the league had such momentum.
