How are those Bronny ROY bets looking? I assume no one here put any in, but if anyone did, sorry - but I assume IF that happened it was throw-away money. I just can't understand how people thought that was a good bet. The hype machine really works on people. The hard data gets ignored. The data was there to understand he would likely not work out. I understand some feeling, but for me, I would have bought a lottery ticket.

The way LeBron still talks (as below) - he is really carrying this whole thing forward. The ceiling is getting lower if they are being honest, I would think. I don't know how much maturation is expected into the 20s of an NBA player but I just don't think it's the amount for the gap we can seemingly easily perceive right now.

Redick candid as Bronny struggles in extended run

Bronny James struggled in his first extensive minutes with the Lakers, missing all his shots to go along with three turnovers, a performance that had coach JJ Redick second-guessing his decision to insert the rookie into his rotation against the 76ers.

Bronny even making any NBA team is a joke.

My random take is Elvin Hayes is the forgotten sports hero in Washington DC. I can agrue that he was a better at what he did than John Rigginsm Art Monk and several other sports legends. When we secured tickets to the playoff games teens were not screaming about Wes, no what I literally heard was "I'm going to see the Big EEEE!".

The Daytona 500 is totally unwatchable.

It's already been postponed at least twice for several hours.

But they got it in with a great finish.

It’s better to be lucky than good did pop into my mind at the end. Granted, lucky and good is more appropos.

Kentucky Derby is a bucket list sporting event for me. I know nothing about horse racing. But I want to go for the spectacle. I don’t care at all about any other race. I just want to go to Churchill Downs for the derby.

About to start. Man it’s wet and muddy out there.

Horse names are so ridiculous. Thought the Metallica guy owns a horse named “sandman” and that’s appropriate.

Random Clippers thoughts - So what is it with these Clippers? Is it the owner, the "old" & often injured LA brothers, is Ty Lue vastly over rated & unable to confront his guys - has it just become a soft coach on a gravy train coaching an overly wealthy group who are really just pretty lazy & can't defend with any urgency? They consistently get a decent lead and then lose it quickly & easily.

The post game reasons are rinse & repeat every game lately. As for waiting the first 10 or 15 games to find their best combination, that's just poor coaching, surely.
Good coaches know very quickly who they've got & why they got em.

Sometimes I think there's no accountability..........

Rant over.

Thoughts & better answers than mine most welcome!!!!!
