Excuse me but my NBA and NHL teams are still in the hunt. No bandwagon for me.

The Nuggets will make it, but the Avs won't. Very bold prediction, I know.

No, extremely sadly, the Wild might be. Which is really sad because they are the ultimate "just okay enough" team, even in the Central division.

I thought you don't like Boston teams anymore because Boston is racist or something

I haven't read this but I'm replying so I will hopefully remember to do so tomorrow at work.

Nothing would make me happier in sports than seeing the NCAA go down.

Well Slurpee, I made it, despite your directions.

The Wild, Blues, Avalanche and Sharks are all pretty close in standings right now. It's cool how most of our teams that we only partially care about play in the Western Conference.

Is there a reason I shouldn't bandwagon Vegas? They've had an insane season and it would be crazy to cap it off with a Stanely Cup.

On the other hand, I'm still lukewarm on the idea of hockey in Vegas, and they've already far exceeded expectations. They could do nothing in the playoffs and probably still go down as the greatest modern expansion team ever

Edit: Could the Avs end up facing them in the first round? I still don't really know the NHL's wack-ass seeding

It would take a long shot for the Aves to make the playoffs, but if they did, the would play vegas more than likely.
I love Vegas' jerseys, but I hate their team name...Golden Knights. It's so stupid.

The NHL's seeding is stupid. Say what you will about the NFL, but their current conferences/divisions and playoff system is perfect.

I just read this. Insane but totally typical. And it goes to show how powerful the NCAA is that this story has basically not moved the needle at all considering this is the first I had heard of it.

I was watching a clip of First Take on YouTube a few mornings ago and ESPN's basketball insider was on there, saying how this is going to take a long time to sort out since the corruption runs deep. I don't think we'll see this in the mainstream media until the punishments are levied because they don't know what they're reporting yet. Or it's not interesting to the general public until a bunch of coaches have to resign.

In MLB news, the MLBPA is filing a grievance against the Rays, A's, Pirates and some cheapo 4th team I can't remember for violating revenue sharing terms. Who knows if they will be able to prove anything but it's pretty obvious those teams pocket that money instead of spending it on the roster.

Golden Knights are pretty dope

Though i still like the flames more


I hope they flame out and make room for the Avs. If the Avs continue their pattern of alternating between fringe team and one of the worst teams in the league each year, they better take advantage of this season

I think the lottery is ultimately better than what MLB and NFL do without it though because having no lottery blatantly encourages tanking. And I realize teams definitely still tank even with a lottery system around but guaranteeing a huge reward to the worst team is a bad system.

The only thing that makes sense as far as putting things on a level playing field is to just make every amateur a free agent but that will never happen because there's no way any sport will ever pay an 18 year old phenom what he's worth.

Yeah, that was bullshit. Speaking of which, off the top of my head, a lot of their top picks have panned out recently - Duchene (before he wore out his welcome), MacKinnon... Rannaten has improved a lot this season. I know that's not all it takes to build a team, and maybe I'm forgetting a huge bust somewhere, but are they really that bad at doing everything else? I know they've long had an issue with defensemen, but even that MacKinnon over Jones pick that seemed slightly insane at the time looks pretty good now.

Yeah, I think it coinciding with the FBI investigation is going to keep it hidden for a while longer, unfortunately. But it's pretty disgusting yeah? Again, I look forward to the NCAA blowing the fuck up.
