Once upon a time Sean Marks was the general manager of a plucky underdog Brooklyn Nets team, inheriting the job at a time when few would have envied the task ahead of him but quickly transforming the entire perception of the franchise as he and head coach Kenny Atkinson instilled a fresh, modern, humble, team-first culture.
It’s taken a lot of waiting for this NBL season to finally swing around and even as it does the Breakers still have to wait a little longer as they didn’t have a scheduled game in round one. All part of the juggling of various state protocols, trying to do this thing in the midst of a global pandemic, you know?
Not gonna lie, it’s been difficult to get a handle on this Steven Adams on the New Orleans Pelicans thing and it’s nothing to do with the player or the team either. This whole NBA season has been ridiculous so far.
Well, here we are. We made it. Somehow amidst a crippling pandemic in a nation led by morons and power-grabbers the National Football League is just 16 games shy of a completed regular season.
How appropriate that the Minnesota Vikings would be playing on Christmas Day. Not because Kirk Cousins is like Santa’s little helper with all the gifts he offers up (to his own receivers and to opposition defenders) but for a simpler, more innocent reason...
The Brooklyn Nets have been on a few different sides of those various reflections in recent times and no doubt you’ve read plenty about all of those incarnations (hit the page tags).
Yeah, that’ll do it. Thaaaaat’ll do it. I’d say that will do it. Yeah, that’ll do it.
Green Bay are another and that battle between them and New Orleans for the top seed is gonna be good – only one team gets a first round bye this time so the top seed is bug business
This might as well be an every week thing now. Nobody’s even surprised when he does these amazing feats right before our eyes. As much as I wanna see Russell Wilson get that MVP award for sentimental reasons... it ain’t him. Not any longer.
Sit back and listen to the man himself talk about the whole drama. Straight from the horse’s mouth. No agendas or speculation, just pure relevance. Here’s a bit of what he had to say.
It was a beautiful run while it lasted. Steven Adams as the big man of the Oklahoma City Thunder, a bloke who so perfectly represented all that they were trying to achieve as a franchise. But all things must pass.
It’s Thanksgiving in the United (so to speak) States of America and the timeline is stacked with people ranking Thanksgiving food. I’m sure there are some other aspects to that particular holiday, gaudy USA patriotism being one of them, but mostly it seems to be about fighting with relatives and eating food?
It’s the birthplace of jazz. The Big Easy. Home to the Mardi Gras. Home to all manner of fine cuisine – po’ boys, jambalaya, gumbo and plenty else. The setting of the play A Streetcar Named Desire.
DeAndre Hopkins is second in total receiving yardage this season, 45 yards behind Stefon Diggs in one fewer game with six fewer catches. 861 yards on 67 catches with the best catch percentage on targets of anyone in the top six.
A little bit late on the picks this week, apologies for that... though still not as late as Nevada polling results.
Todd Gurley with the accidental touchdown, trying to stop himself from falling into the end zone but the ball just edging over the plane as he hit the deck and defensive players started signalling for the score against them.
Greetings, fair squires, and may golden horses carry you. Since you’re still above ground, here’s a bit of a treat to put some lead in your pencil. It’s the fifth annual edition of an old favourite.
Right back at it with the Thursday night stuff and in true TNF fashion it’s a game that literally nobody outside the fans of the two teams will be looking forward to. The NFC East strikes again.
Four undefeated teams remain after five weeks. The Seahawks, the Packers, the Steelers... and the Tennessee Titans, who thoroughly dispatched of the previously undefeated Buffalo Bills in that delayed Tuesday night game.
We’re now at the end of the first quarter of the game that is this season. Four games out of 16 for the majority of the teams. A quarter of the way through... and the Falcons still don’t have a win.
