TheDeuce

I don't view Reed as a true PG. I'd play him at the 2, but I'm not the coach. Thus, I would not play him at point over Wagner. They both should play, and there's plenty of minutes for both.

I'm aware of what I said. I would encourage you to read it again. Not to mention, it wasn't meant to age. It was a statement in that particular moment. Can you point out where I said that would always be the case? While we're here... Do you take issue with everyone else's opinions on Reed in this thread, or just mine?

Didn’t say he was non-athletic. Didn’t say “no killer instinct.” Didn't say “he only plays because he’s local.” He still shouldn’t play ahead of Waggener. Try again.

So nothing about initial post was incorrect at the time?

When that was posted, what was incorrect? Pretty sure last night was a career high? I wouldn’t base my evals on obvious outliers.

I knew you would come with the details!

Just got bumped up to an Enhanced Risk along the river.

Guess I'll need to have the NOAA radio on tonight.

I’m looking forward to this. My mom says to this day she’s never seen the sky as black as it was that day. She was in Frankfort, not too far from where the tornado went through Jett.

Seriously. Beyond about five seconds, what was a fire extinguisher going to do?

I saw the video, and couldn't help but think how exceptionally stupid the act was.

That's funny. And no I didn't actually.

The schools are the hosts, not the venues. Schools don't have authority at the venues they are playing their home games in? That seems like a problem itself. Let me be clear... I couldn't care less about the injuries. I think court and field storming is stupid, period. I don't have that opinion because people have gotten hurt, because generally they haven't. I do think it's playing with fire, and eventually something bad will happen. The nature of sports almost guarantees that.

Absolutely. The correct answer is making sure it doesn't happen, whatever that takes. Ultimately, the schools are responsible for crowd control.

If it can't be completely prevented, I think the focus shouldn't be on keeping people off the court, it should be on protecting the opposing team. Assuming you think it is going to happen, have a group of 10-15 personnel gathered at the end of the opposing bench with a rope. The second the horn sounds, those people run on the court parallel to the visiting bench, creating sort of a lane for the opposing players to get off the court. Logistics would be different at every gym of course, but this is extremely doable in almost any circumstance.

He clearly tried to push the first kid... But, that doesn't negate the fact that court/field storming is stupid and shouldn't be allowed to happen. Fines aren't good enough, as they obviously don't deter people from doing it. Losing home games, or home games with no fans is what it will take, IMO.

Almost seems forced.

Quit whining you big babies. Sound familiar?

A blast as always. NBA All-Star weekend is unmatched.

One of the "joys" of live music... You can sound check 10 times, that doesn't mean it's going to work when it's show time. Always gotta be ready to improvise. It's one of the things that brings an adrenaline rush to performing live.

What do you have in your pond?

It is definitely going to happen, and I'd imagine it won't be pretty.

Who's filing taxes for those receiving NIL? Because it certainly isn't the athletes.
