And on le'veon bell, do you really blame the guy? He's looking to get paid in a position that has a short shelf life. It was extreme, but really? You franchise tag the guy and use him for the work horse that he is. More mileage on the body..he almost always has the most carries in the league. Good for him on taking a stand...more power to players controlling their destiny

lolz@ Eli Manning.. and am hearing rumors of an obj trade rumors. New York franchises look poorly run...the Knicks(rotfl), new York jets( hopefully, Sam darnold turns out to be something) Yankees are ok Sha( not going for byrce Harper or Manny Machado looks somehow, u can never have too many outfielders and those are transcendent players, but...they compete every year). Am off topic here. Did you know Hines was very critical of ben and even mike Tomlin?
Hines didn't say what everyone else hasn't said which is Big Ben shouldn't have criticized Antonio Brown on live radio but I heard those comments he made. Those comments are not justifiable reason for his subsequent actions. Skipping meetings, skipping on the team and having your agent call Mike Tomlin on game day?

Biko let that TO 2.0 leave the Steelers and go with his baggage. Of all the actors in this film only he and Bell are the ones without Superbowls

Btw did you hear what LeBron said about his Lakers teammates? Yet LeBron stans are defending him. He questioned his fellow professionals dedication to the game of basketball. That is far worse than anything Big Ben did.

I don't blame Bell for anything, same way I don't blame the Steelers for not betting on a guy who has been suspended TWICE and is also injury prone. The franchise tag is essentially about buying time till you can settle on a deal.

Of all skill positions you must know that the Running Back is the easiest to replace that is why James Conner came in and easily matched his numbers. That's why CJ Anderson came off the street to match Todd Gurley's production. Successful teams never overpay the Running Back

true! The season really showed the running back position for what it truly is. Hopefully, the guy gets paid in another team. A lot of teams have enough cap space to take a chance on a talent such as bell and some young qb would benefit a lot...Buffalo bills maybe, even the colts have the cap space

chai!!! Terrell owens? Upgrade? In terms of talent or what? Hahahhahahah. T. O was more contentious than this. The guy was a serious problem.
Re: The NBA Begins by Tundesam923(m): 8:55pm On Feb 24, 2019
Yea, I heard about the comments. LeBron can do no wrong...he did want to ship that entire team for Davis so? *Shrugs*

So we've established the fact that the Warriors are overrated.. I don't want to hear shìt once the playoffs starts. I don't want to hear they have 6 all stars. Don't be unfortunate.

Only one team can be overrated, with overrated players who can win 3 rings and still have an overrated coach. LOOL.

Rockets are not overrated after losing to Lakers. Or Celts after losing to Bulls. LOOOL.

So u saying in terms of being a diva, ab takes the cake? Hmm. Terrell owen was snubbed for induction into the Hof for years becos of his antics. I don't see that happening with ab.. I don't think he has had as much on/off field drama like t.o

I just pray Draymond is alright.

Fu*ck the other starters for coasting because they felt Harden was out. Fu*ck them for the 0-15 start. And Fu*ck them for being lethargic after we took the lead.

Becoming frustrating the way Gsw keeps losing to the rockets.

It's not. And trust me, no Warriors fan is worried about Houston. The playoffs is all that matters. Harden and cp3 can play all they want in the regular season. It's a different thing come playoffs.

a threat because of Harden and CP3 + Capella?? Perhaps you were asleep when they missed 30 3s in a row before crashing out last season. They can't do any better than that.

Having 3-0 aggregate loss to a particular team calls for concern going into playoffs.They are full of confidence like never before against the warriors.Remember how they even drag the playoffs series with the warriors till an unfortunate injury to Chris Paul?well my only optimism is that history should repeat itself against the well known chokers .

how? Pls! After magic jonhson and LeBron James colluded to ship that entire team?. No matter how magic slices it, these guys are not just "professional", they are humans first who are also just in their 3rd seasons(Ingram) and 2nd (lonzo, ND kuzma). It affects the whole culture and LeBron James? undecided. Just wrong coming out and spewing criticisms all about. What a classless act!!!

Jokes on you using regular season aggregate to judge the playoffs. Well known chokers are guys like CP3 and Harden who have been consistent at it for years.

Remember how eastern teams were beating the Cavs till the playoffs and then Lebron swept the Raptors?

I get tired of saying it but I have to say it again. It is EXTREMELY difficult to motivate a team that has played 4 NBA finals on the trot to take all regular season games seriously. As a fan, you only hope and pray they mean business on said day. What winners like Kerr do is use such games to test tactics or to explore what the other team is planning crunch time.

Blazers inn15/16 blew us out by 33 pts after the all star game with Curry playing and were down 0-2 when he was injured during the playoffs of that same year. Take the regular season seriously at your own peril.

Even if they are not chokers people act like they were not leading 17pts and 15pts in the back to back losses of game 6 and 7 (without CP3) whereas they were losing by 12 and 5 or so with him in games 4 and 5 that they ended up winning.

People forget that the games 4&5 were won by a total of 5pts and we had the possessions to actually win. And that was prime Rockets. Their best ever.
