Going Commando Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 NFL players are getting more empowered though. The league is going to change a lot over the next decade or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I saw a black guy dabbing on ESPN after winning some NASCAR race not long ago. After awhile, they won't be able to retreat, and at that point they'll have to make a decision on if they want to wise up and be a part of this new world that is surely coming (if we can survive the current stuff and actually make it there lol). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they actually know tons of black people, and have played and worked with them throughout their entire lives. Not just Ben Carson and Omarosa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I don't know. The NFL does an incredible job of making sure that everyone who rises to any prominent level within that league is fully assimilated into the Borg. I mean, Mike Tomlin is probably the hippest coach in NFL history, and he works for a family whose patriarch was an ambassador for Obama. And he is still mostly a cliché machine. This next season is going to feature literally 5,000 stories on Jon Gruden and his beliefs that CTE is made up and that what the young people need today is spending six hours a day in film studying mastering YZ S SOLO C BANANA CROSS 4. And do really think the league is going to get more progressive as we enter into the 2020s and all those "state of the art" stadiums from the turn of the century are suddenly going to need to be seriously upgraded? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Chucky adjusting to the new NFL after being gone a decade, just might be the most entertaining thing to come of the 2018 season ?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when Gibbs had us all debating about the value of the shotgun snap back in 2004? It's going to be like except weirder. Man, I’m trying to throw the game back to 1998. Really, as a broadcaster, I went around and tried to observe every team. Asked a lot of questions. Took a look at the facilities, how they’re doing business. There’s a stack of analytical data … people don’t even know how to read it. It’s one thing to have the data. It’s another things to know how to read the damn thing. So I’m not going to rely on GPS and all the modern technology. I will certainly have some people that are professional that help me from that regard. But I still think doing things the old-fashioned way is the a good way. I love the idea that no one knows how to read the data. "Hey, man. I can't even balance my checkbook. I can't read a restaurant bill. I just throw $100 at the Hooters' waitress and hope that's enough, man." His brother is our coach by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I realize this is slightly off topic but I'm now finding it kind of sad that Gibbs 2.0 was filled with all sorts of head scratching/hilarious moments and he still had more success than anyone since Snyder took over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I wouldn't mind a Rockets/Raptors or Celtics Finals just to get something new but come on we all know its gonna be Warriors/Cavs snoozefest AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Not really. The Cavs are very much in question. I don't think GS is bulletproof either. Not this year. It would take a largely flawless series, but I think Houston can beat them. You couldn't say that last year. No ones best would've given them anything more than a flesh wound.

Going Commando Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Nobody actually believes in the Raptors. The Cavs are still going to win it this year. And nobody really thinks the Rockets are going to beat Golden State in a series. But if Houston adds LeBron this summer, we'll see what happens next year. At the very least, it'd open up the East for a new sacrificial lamb to emerge. I do think Houston will give the Warriors a 6 game series though.

Going Commando Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 If you give LeBron the team infrastructure that Harden has in Houston, then I think he can replace Harden's production after his inevitable postseason disappearance and they might seriously have a shot at beating the Warriors. Especially if Golden State is not at 100% health-wise. It's the best shot anyone has at doing it until new contracts for Green and Thompson come up and Iggy gets washed up.

Blake on the other hand, has been terrible in Detroit where he's shooting .401 from the field and they've gone 6-8 since the trade. He has struggled to adjust to the new role and offense. I'm surprised, I thought the transition would be more seamless for him because he was on a hot streak after coming back from his concussion and he filled a playmaking void in their line up. But he's jump shooting too much and not shooting well from anywhere on the floor, particularly from three. I think he'll get comfortable there eventually, but I no longer think it will happen in time for the playoffs. I also think they still need to get better wings for them to make some noise in the East. Reggie Bullock is a bench player. Luke Kennard might be something down the road, but he's not a good player right now. Stanley Johnson is probably a bust. They just don't have the horses on the wing to compete yet. Even someone like CJ Miles would be a big upgrade that could help them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 It doesn't explain LA's success though. That roster was barely good enough to compete for the 8th seed in competitive West even with Blake Griffin. A team where Lou Williams is your go to offense should be in the lottery. Doc Rivers has them overachieving big time. Williams should have made the AS game. He's been awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
