George Amberson

I don't understand the decision. Behind the scenes stuff? Eyes on someone else (e.g. Steve Kerr)? And I thought CP3 was on record as supporting Jackson.

The players absolutely loved him... which is incredibly rare in a professional sport for all the teammates to have the coaches back (including the star players) and he gets canned anyway. I heard that he was getting fired no matter what unless they made the finals :no:

Thibs would be a great hire.

What's your thoughts on the rumored Melo + Thibs to LA?

That's good news, and prolly why the talk of drafting at QB. I'm on record liking Bortles early if he's available and Carr/Murray/Metzenberger later. I seem to recall Dalton being the 'down to earth' guy who was grateful for a chance to play in the NFL. Now he thinks he's Chad- face of the franchise talk (AJ Green says 'hi') and wants paid like he's a Manning brother or Brady? Win something before you try to get paid.

Not sure if it changes your opinion, but Mettenberger was one of the players that failed a drug test at the combine Glazer: Mettenberger, Jernigan failed drug tests at Combine | FOX Sports on MSN

Anybody that would trade Dalton & the Bengals 1st rounder for the 8th pick in the draft is an idiot.

If you haven't noticed, there are a lot of idiots in the world. You must not have twitter or listen to talk radio much :lol2:

No way.

I wouldn't either, but I know a lot of people are down on Dalton in a big way. As a non-Bengals fan, I think he is what holds them back from being truly elite. But, at the same time, he is better than a lot of QBs so it'd be a "be careful what you wish for" situation. Best bet for them is to let Dalton either play his way into a huge contract after this season or see that he isn't the fit long term.

Thanks. Not sure why ukfan thought he had to keep this a secret.

This goes to you and other Bengal fans as well, would you guys trade Dalton and your first round pick to the Vikings for their first round pick?

KO is tight with most of the league. The Durant angle gets real interesting if the Thunder don't make the finals, though...

Been saying this... Can definitely see it :thumb:

Kevin Ollie is the first name to be thrown out there.

I still think Ollie goes to OKC if (when?) Brooks gets fired.

I don't know if he got DeJuan Blair or not but I don't remember many first rounders from Pitt recently... Maybe he is great salesman that Cal will get over the hump.

Yeah I mean I've heard good things. I was just trying to be educated on some guys he had recruited that were considered good recruits and/or great finds. Not sure why my question was taking in such a sarcastic tone but I'm sure he will be a great hire, all the other assistants for Cal have been.

What if a player/owner/coach beats the crap out of a female--be it his wife, girlfriend or whatever? Is that as bad as what Sterling has done?

Knowing how the world of professional sports works, that owner would get a slap on the wrist compared to what happened in this situation.

I know they said that but I find that hard to believe.

I think, especially with how social media is today, that it couldn't be ignored any longer.

Looks like you were half right. The Pacers won't make it out of the first round, although you had the wrong opponent. Charlotte? didn't have a chance vs. the Heat.

No they never did to actually win the series, but big Al was basically playing one leg because of the plantar fasciitis, I think they take at least one if he is all the way healthy, definitely no more than two though.

Or at some point in the SECT. Or both. Sliding scale...

Ah, didn't even think about that... brain is a little tired at the end of the work day over here

Also, there's a lot of UK threads going on, wasn't sure where to put this but I thought it was interesting. Read it over on KSR that Dakari initially told Coach Cal he wasn't interested in hearing anything from the NBA.

35-3...

That implies they lose in the elite 8... correct?

I'm glad there are several witnesses to gives us insight of what really happened.

I'm pretty sure all anyone wants to know is the truth. Let's hope everyone, especially those impacted most, find it out.

What a sad and tragic incident this was/is. Finally got to see the video for the first time. In my mind, there is only three things that are absolutely certain.

1) The young men/women shouldn't have been at this field

2) The girl who died accelerated as the cop approached her and didn't stop when instructed

3) The cop exits the camera and almost a full minute later the tragedy occurs.

There is NO WAY anyone can say for certain what happened from the video. It seems a lot of people are wanting to put blame without proof. There is no audio (as of now) or footage that can prove what happened either way. My prayers go out to the girl's family and may they find the answers and peace they seek and may she rest in peace forever. My prayers also go out to the policeman and his family. Just a sad, sad story all around.

I think you have to add the fact that they have the best coach of all time in there -- that's the real seperation between them and everyone else.

Behind scenes of the Harrison twins' decision

Great article. Also other articles too, Liked the one on Ulius.

Those articles were great. Weird to read such positive things about UK. I really liked everything I read from Ullis's dad too. I bet Ullis will end up being one of the most beloved Cats during his years here. Also, for those people who think there will be problems with chemistry, playing time, etc go read Ullis's dad comment about it. Each recruit knows what is expected of them and Calipari doesn't sugarcoat it, that's why it works.

Forde is a troll of the highest magnitude. He was the only person with a source that said Willis was transferring?

Right when I saw it was Forde who was the only one beating this drum I knew Willis was staying at UK.

:facepalm:

Calling it now... Scott Brooks gets fired by the Thunder after an early exit from the playoffs and immediately announce Kevin Ollie as the new head coach.

I didn't say otherwise. But "the haters" don't care about UK nearly as much as some like to think.

They sure seem to be on top of all things UK for people that don't care. When I don't care about something, I tend to not to pay any attention at all to it...

On a side note Deuce, I'm not referencing you what so ever.

Woah.... add another one to the list

this is Twitter. I can say anything RT @barrrrgo: how can you possibly say there's no chance the twins come back?
