I actually think it's the Iggles.

But yeah, the Sixers pulling the Tankadelphia move will get them in position, for sure.

In the NBA, it's (usually) not about how well you draft, but about how quickly you can acquire 2 superstar players via free agency. But I'm sure they will draft high and get the next Evan Turner or the next Shawn Bradley.

Sell! Sell! Sell! This team is not a contender. They aren't void of talent, and they play well at times, but the lack of consistency is what separates them from the big boys. That and the sloth like team speed.

Unfortunately I have zero faith in Holmgren making the right moves.

There we go. The NBA is the WORST league in professional sports. It's crazy how little talent there is beyond the star players. Even if the Sixers got LeBron and another star, I'd still have a tough time watching.

Really, its an unprecedented intentional tank job in the NBA. It's really interesting, they will have 4 lottery picks in 2 years with a GM who has been involved in acquiring successful 2nd round NBA talent before. They have 5 second round picks this year. Pretty cutting edge stuff.

Interesting. We do not have either of those things on our hockey thing, can we still do a win?

I think kicking is forbidden, anyways. It is the rules of hockey.

With the way they played last night, that doesn't seem like that hard of a feat.

"Dude, you wanna kick that wall down?"
"Meh."

They (frank)ed things up when they put in maximum amounts for contracts. Now, players can choose their destination based, entirely, on who they want to play with and where they want to live. Every team can only offer the same contract. If a team wants to offer Lebron half their cap space, they should be allowed to do that.

There is, also, a misconception that teams need to get a top pick to become contenders. Thats not true. You need to be able to draft well. You can find all star players after the top 5 picks.

I bet he uses the same cement that the defense kept their skates in last night.

You trying to say Shea Weber was not a top-5 pick?

Does a triple end equate to a negative imaginary end?

Please some math geek get that.

See, now this is clever, as far as ripping the team goes. I like your style.
