Quote from: screenexile on January 27, 2025, 09:22:03 AMThought Bills were hard done by last night with some of the calls against them. How could that interception be ruled a catch when the ball hit the ground? Also I thought Allen made it for the 4th and 1 call.

What does it matter that the ball hit the ground? It didn't move.

Neither of them had control of it!

Both on them did, hence the controversy.

Mavericks trading Doncic to the Lakers for AD and a 2029 first rounder, plus some crap.

Absolute wtf trade.

Wtf indeed, not sure it particularly helps the Lakers short term with losing Davis, but will long term when you look at the age of both of them. 
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

I'm actually stunned by that

I was a touch harsh. Max Christie is a very useful piece, but the trade is incredibly lopsided. Lakers were looking at a long stretch in the doldrums once LeBron is done and just like that they've next face of the franchise.

Second supermax contract with the Mavs would have netted Doncic $345m over five years  :o

Butler to the warriors giving up Wiggins, Schroder, and Anderson 😲

I've always liked Jimmy. He's criminally and perennially underrated but he's undeniably an arsehole who will end up causing trouble. He's 35 so that's a lot to give up for him, but he's a better all round player than Wiggins and that don't give anything up in defence.

Maybe they figure by the time he gets fed up and starts sulking Steph will be done as well so they'll need a full rebuild. Still don't think it's enough for them to compete.

Pittsburgh Steelers are coming to Dublin. The Rooneys have been choking for that to happen for years now.
