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.

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

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.

Super Bowl Sunday. Been an Eagles fan for 20+ years so hoping they'll do the job but obviously, the Chiefs are the team to beat with their dynasty over the last few years.

Philly have a lot of weapons that can cause trouble for KC but the Chiefs have the experience and have always found a way of late.

Hopefully a good game and the talk of threepeats can go in the bin.

Fly Eagles Fly.

Eagles are well stacked and in Theory should win but then again they are up against Maholmes. Even on a poor enough year the Chiefs could be hard to beat

No question. If both teams play well it'll be a toss of the coin. Mahomes is a generational talent. Hopefully the Eagles can rough him up at bit early on.

Brutal anthem as is traditional

I really don't like the American way of doing the anthem. A band playing the music and the crowd singing is much better.

The chiefs manager was in Cocoon

If the refs are going to influence the game the Eagles should be allowed to tackle them. Pricks
