Pretty exciting Nation’s league final today. Neighbors Spain v Portugal.
Lots of back forth, old guys with 40-year-old Ronaldo, young guys with 17-year-old Yamal, yellow cards, hard fouls, blistering goals, PKs and the works.
Well worth the watch.
@dylans said in Chiefs offseason:
@BShark https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2025/6/5/24443563/chiefs-news-matt-araiza-eddie-czaplicki-punter-battle-real
Maybe, but if history is any indicator the incumbent will win out - I am not an Ariza fan. His control sucks, but he has a huge leg. The Mahomes led Chiefs don’t usually need to flip the field, but rather pin them back when a drive stalls. So maybe Eddie wins out. ️ I don’t want to see Tommy Townsend-esc hold issues ever again so the best hold might win out too. ️
Yea, good points.
Yep… My wording was a little strong on the use of “stupid”… I apologize. And even under the heat I didn’t mean that directed personally… but to an idea. Again, sorry to everyone in here.
I’m not an expert in this area but I haven’t forgotten how this all went down originally and harnessing every aspect of NIL will be unlikely because it starts infringing on rights then ends up back in court.
I know I keep mentioning Duke… I have Duke grads close by and they let me know how Duke is on a real mission to dominate and are doing it by getting out ahead of the changing landscape. Of course, that leads me into hypertension!
So the good news is we managed to divert our thoughts away (a little bit) from recruiting. And on that, some of the people in my circle dropped a heavy on me by stating the recent KU recruiting failures weren’t based on KU coming up short on NIL funds. Then my blood pressure shot up again! Lol
This case is going to heard by a US District judge on Friday. The NCAA’s response is actually pretty good. They basically said that of Zeigler had an NBA future, he would’ve already gone pro and wouldn’t be worried about this. The US DOJ pretty much agrees with the NCAA on telling Zeigler it’s time to move on.

Nike just driving up these bidding wars and losing lol.
Flagg’s shoe deal is with New Balance, not Nike.
I know lol. Nike was trying to get him and they recently made a play for Darryn a few months ago.
@nuleafjhawk What is your work? Coaching college basketball is something I don’t understand on the hiring practices. I know some of it is political… a bit of a popularity contest. Otherwise, I think it requires visionaries to see the future when hiring. I don’t trust myself to pick the next KU coach… but I like the idea of JV coming in as an assistant, and I can sense the potential of him being the next Kansas coach.
@mayjay said in Nets fans reflect on Vaughn as head coach:
@approxinfinity IIRC, the Nets dumped salary and tanked right after JV was made permanent coach. Nets fans are nuts.
He was HC while they were breaking up their Big 3 of Durant, Harden, and Kyrie.
This baseball team is having a great season. Playing in the semifinals tonight of the league tourney, 6:30 possible regional host as well. Saw one prognosticator having them as a 2 seed in their regional which is different than 2 seed in basketball. It’s kind of like a sweet 16 seed.
