Sometimes I just think about how bad the Luka trade was. Everyone knew the moment it happened it was awful besides one person. It will never make sense to me, never.

Unreal. After he and Nico traded Luka for a box of farts, JKidd hid from the backlash and never owned his role in it. He should not be allowed to comment on 77. It should be illegal.

I guess I just value winning over all else and it will work itself out by the end of the season. Bottom line? My system gets rid of all this non-sense. No Committee

It will never happen but one can dream. If it ever does change, I have everything ready to go!

Nico Harrison still walking around as a free man in our country is crazy
Luka's 38.5 PPG is the highest scoring average over a player's first 8 games of a season since Wilt in 1962.

“I think Dirk Nowitzki’s playoff run when he won the championship is the best playoff run of any Hall of Famer, if I look at his team and who he went through. He swept the Lakers, they had just won back to back titles. You beat OKC with 3 future MVPs on that team. And then you beat the Big 3 with the Miami Heat.” - Longtime sports talk host Dan Patrick on his show today

There are so many things where people say "it seems like" or "it feels like" and now, we can actually try to answer these questions. Here's an example. Blake said, "I feel like the Cowboys are poor front runners." Over the past 20 years, Dallas is middle of the pack covering the spread. However, if you look at SHORT FAVORITES, (0.5-3 points) Dallas is abysmal. 30th win rate. 32nd against the spread. THESE are the games that stand out. When you feel good about them, maybe a nice -2.5 home game against another good team, and they don't show up. Since 2006, they actually have a losing record (not losing against the spread) as a short favorite. To me, this is the number that best explains what this era feels like.
Replying to @NotJackKemp
I'm impressed with the commitment to tweeting about the Cowboys right now

That's why I would use these same computers to give the proper seeds to the teams that qualify for CFP under my system.
The issue with the BCS was the access, not the computers. These are FAR BETTER rankings: • UCLA, ND properly ranked • no 2-loss SEC tms in Top 7 (CFP has 2) • Wake, USC up multiple spots It should’ve always been the BCS.

How do you pass up someone you never trailed?
Has Luka passed up Shai?

2-loss Alabama is #5. 2-loss Texas is #7. Undefeated 8-0 UCLA is #8. How can College Football continue to exist in any sort of legitimate sense with this kind of rigging for the SEC?

LSU: • 6-2 • Best win is 5-3 Clemson at home Texas Tech: • 7-1 • Wins over #17 Houston & #22 Arizona LSU has the SEC logo on their jerseys though, which is all that really matters. So having more losses and worse wins is irrelevant!
