There have been a few really good ones since then. Jordan won back to back right after Spud won. Dominique, Harold Miner, and Kobe were all really good. But the last really good one I've watched was Vince Carter in 2000. So about 25 years of boring. The last 5 years in particular have been a total borefest.

Yeah man. The dunk contest is horrid. Filled with low level NBAers and G Leaguers. Too many attempts for guys who aren't really great flyers to start with. Its long and boring. The 3 point contest, futures tournament and celebrity game are the highlights of the weekend. I didn't get a chance to watch everything but I did tune in to the futures game for a bit on Friday night, and then for all of the 3-point contest on Saturday. I am a 90's kid so I think I was spoiled in terms of watching some of the best basketball of all time. That said, my teenage son is a huge fan of the NBA and sneaker culture so he has brought me back into the fold. Lots of very fun young talent in the league. Guys who could very well be in the top fifteen scorers of all time when its said and down. Luka, Devn Booker, Trae Young, Jayson Tatum, Paolo, Webenyama, and Anthony Edwards are all guys who could make a big impact on the history of the game in the next 10-15 years. I've enjoyed following the league a bit more over the last few years.

It depends on how you look at it. I don't think anything has really happened to them. They are still 3rd in the Eastern Conference. They needlessly moved on from Mike Budenholzer who was a hell of a head coach because they weren't winning the title every year. It was change for the sake of change. I think they hired Adrian Griffin thinking adding he and Dame would turn the Bucks into world beaters but it looks like the players didn't care for the guy so he is out. They will still make the playoffs and likely win a series but Doc Rivers is an overrated coach anyways. It's the NBA the players run the show. They should have never moved on from Budenholzer. One quick thing on the NBA. I am not sure any professional sports league does a better job with their All Star game presentation. All Star weekend is a hell of a lot of fun.

Looks like I have WNED out of Buffalo. Its still on Monday at 8pm through Spectrum in Buffalo. I watch it every Monday to try and slow down before I nod off. When I look up the WXXI station out of Rochester it still shows Antiques Roadshow at 8pm on Mondays. Does Spectrum Rochester have PBS? Its Channel 3 here.

He's made close to 1.5 million dollars a touchdown in the NFL. He will be more than fine with his 148 million dollars. For comparison, Josh Allen has been paid 513,000 dollars per touchdown. Mahomes 589,000. Bills have done pretty well for themselves.

Really have to normalize the data to fully understand the comparison (click below). I dont think anyone would argue that Lamar isnt on Mahomes or Allen's level, but he isnt as far off as the raw data originally posted would have you think. He is on par with both Mahomes and Josh when it comes to total yards, the issue is the high number of interceptions in comparison to his average touchdown output. Josh and Pat are nearly identical when it comes to averages, but Id argue where the difference shows up is when it comes to being clutch. Brady was better than Pat in head to heads, Mahomes is better than Allen. Lamar is a fine quarterback. He sells a lot of jerseys.

Just checked thought it was Tuesday night, its Monday. PBS Monday 8pm. That said, I think I get Rochester channels.

Antiques Roadshow is on PBS every Tuesday at 8pm.

Both guys are emotionally immature jerks. Both need to grow up.

Little known fact Patrick Mahomes was actually the #1 FFA student those years.

He's coached football for longer than I've been alive and I'm middle age. He's coached in the NFL for over 30 years and called plays for 25. There is a lot to be said about experience, he's been through almost every situation you can in football. Unfortunately in today's culture and NFL everyone wants a fast payoff. It took the guy 20 years as a head coach to win a Superbowl. At least part of that first victory was due to what he learned losing 4 conference championships and 1 Super Bowl before he got one.

Mahomes is the best QB in the league without question. If you think he is the same Mahomes he is today without Andy Reid you don't understand the game. He threw a beauty of a ball to win the game. The play design was also a thing of beauty.

I've played or coached football for a 3rd of my life. I understand how the game works.

Yes, and on a play call you have multiple options. Not every wr ran routes to the end zone.

The Bills don't have the players the 9ers do on defense. This isn't surprising.

Yes, and he made Allen throw to the end zone multiple times.

Whatever happens we should know very soon. They need to restructure contracts to have money for free agency and the draft. If he isnt restructured he is likely on his way out. If he is, he will be here.

No, but if enough national media people say it then people start to believe it. The guy with the most touchdowns in the league this year wasnt voted into the Pro Bowl. NFL awards, and accolades are an extension of the NFL's hype machine, they dont need to be based in fact. They only need to help sell jerseys.

If I am Trump I just run these videos during the lead up to the election.

Had the pleasure of listening to Schumer say Trump supporters are stringing this along to cause chaos. Do we so soon forget who caused the real chaos? Sickening.

It is not my position. But nowhere in the article did it say Favre made the interest off of the money he took. The article actually said nothing about where the figure came from. Only that in their opinion he owed interest on the original amount. My guess, is the interest they are speaking about was based on a percentage they came up with or the Value of the money from when he originally took it to the point he paid it back. Maybe it was even based on his net worth from one point in time to another. We don't know that because it was never explained. Personally I feel like paying the amount he took is fine. Especially when the United States legal system has set a precedence when it comes to corporations, PPP loans for the rich etc where they feel like multiple million dollar debt can be forgiven. Where do you think that money comes from? We can all throw our hands up about Favre because we can put a face to it. But believe me, large corporations and government officials rob us way more than some washed up football player ever will. It's a farce.

My kids basketball team played Newfane the other day. One of the kids on Newfane looked right at the ref and yelled "what the f" not the clean version. Ref did nothing. The kid ran down to the other end of the floor, threw my kid to the ground during a jump shot attempt. Then screamed at him "you're not him!" That prompted multiple chest bumps from his teammates. I've coached youth and high school sports for 15 years but I've had it. The kids have become entitled jerks and it's easy to tell where they get it from when you speak to the parents.

Sexual Assault accusations follow you a long time.

Agreed there. I was more interested in hearing why Shady didnt think Allen was a nerd, than having to hear another debate about whether he turns the ball over too much. I think they are seen as separate issues. However, I think the margin for error is so small in the NFL that you could argue if Josh takes the check down instead of gunning for the endzone in the latest Chiefs game there may be some sort of correlation.

No matter who we vote for we vote for people's interests who make up 1% of the population and 95% of the wealth and land. It's the same story since European Kings sent explorers here. If you think you're on the right side of history just because you vote Democrat guess again.
