Do you all think Kahwi is staying with the raps? or is he going to go elsewhere once his contracts up.

>>32850
I think it depends on if the Raptors can convince him to stay. His mind is probably on going to the Clippers right now but if the Raptors can do something special during free agency to change his mind then I think he would re-sign. He's born and raised in Southern California so the bullshit cold weather up there likely annoys him to no end, but if the organization can make a strong enough pitch to him then I think he'd suck it up along with being a kind in Ontario and basically getting free shit wherever he goes.

>>32286
hey just a reminder. raptors won

Fuck Boston

Marchand crying at the end of that game, its like the entire league won the cup.

Good for the Blues winning their first Stanley Cup, now they've joined the Caps as the newest members of the champions club.

I just saw some of the NYC FC vs Cinci FC MLS game and all I've gotta say is, MLS is fucking terrible, like I knew it wasn't going to be as good as other leagues but I at least expected some good amateur play and it didn't even give that, it was just pure shit. They really should just disband this shit and just give cheaper and better access to other premium leagues also disband the USMNT, never have I seen a more abominable sin against god then having to watch this shameful turdbowl of a team struggle (and lose!) against even some of most mediocre national teams.

>a brand new team (FC Cincinnati) that has only won three times so far this year
>playing at one of the worst converted stadiums in MLS that is essentially a glorified pinball board
>think it's pure shit

Lol. Not my fault you watched some bad teams. Watch LAFC, they've been fire this year.

I was originally going to comment on the USMNT and what a useless sack of shit they've been for, what, years now? I honestly can't even remember the last time I gained active joy from watching them. From Arena, to Sarachan, to Berhalter, there hasn't been any identity, effort, or hunger for something greater. Even Klinsmann was pretty bad, but at least he took an honest stab at it and thought outside the box by bringing in players from Europe. I'm honestly concerned about the upcoming Gold Cup, and that in itself lets you know how stalled the national team has been in the US for almost a decade.

fuck they still aren't low enough, hopefully if they lose against Guyana and go into free fall actual changes will happen, but since the MLS will still exist probably not

Hot damn did the light ever turn on for Tim Anderson. There also appears to be some signs of life from Lucas Giolito, which is great since that White Sox rotation is a black hole of suck. There's no way they can backdoor their way into an AL Central title this year with such glaring flaws in their game, but it might be neat to see them still clinging to contention in September if the Twins never truly pull away.

Speaking of the AL Central, what the hell happened to the Indians?

This. Meyer's as slippery as they come, and I could absolutely see him pull a Florida and come back to some big name program currently at sea like USC or Miami in a couple years.

Maybe she was talking shit, did you ever consider that?
Not everything has to be hysterically blown out of proportion witch hunt bro, the ex-wife seems like a real piece of work herself.

I'm getting into rally. Thoughts on Chile, mentlegen?

>>32703 I'm thinking about being a kings fan, since i like the niners, and lakers.

>>32727

That's the logical choice.

>>32741
Better than being a Warriors fan.

people that are just placing small-time money on shit (march madness brackets at work, fantasy football with your friends) won't have to hide it any more, and states can possibly regulate and make revenue off of it. I don't know how that would look or if it would be a good thing for the average joe fantasy player, but as a Floridian I think we're gonna head towards legalization post haste and I guess I support bringing more revenue to the state. high rollers/pro gamblers, meanwhile, will have more cities of sin in which to party and bet (see: Miami) and states will likely make more revenue off of that too. fairness of competition will not change, at least not until the incentive to take falls exceeds bonuses players and coaches already get for winning playoff games or making certain benchmarks (which I don't see ever happening). plus a lot of bets these days aren't "I bet the eagles will beat the pats" but more like "Foles will have 200 yds by the end of the 2nd" or "LeBron will have 3 setups to K-Love in the 1st 5 mins." really specific shit like that is a lot harder to engineer if youre worried about the integrity of the game being affected. and if players were somehow incentivized to fulfill these weird, specific parameters the games would become so chaotic that I'd say fairness would be restored just by virtue of everyone having such disparate goals. a given team winning would be incidental, not rigged, lol.

and then for the low-life sleazy gambler nothing's gonna change. if you're not a playboy (and thus can't get credit from a casino), bookies are still the only people around that will offer credit, and once this is all regulated and sanitized they're still going to have their market of people who otherwise couldn't gamble at the more reputable venues (which is still a sizeable chunk of people).

the angle i find more interesting is how this will change sports media. they've already had vegas "insiders" on places like ESPN explaining how lines are made or whether or not you should take the points and shit like that, but I think now gambling advice is gonna explode even more as a niche in the Sport Media Talking Head department.

but ever since fantasy football; and then daily fantasy, blew up, casual, "regular" people have been doing what is essentially gambling, with fantasy experts giving advice on it, for like a decade now. I don't see how you see much change on the horizon from the current landscape.

>Players will throw games

No pro player is gonna throw a game for money. They have enough. College could be a problem but probably not and here's why. They could be potentially throwing games/point shaving already in a unregulated illegal gambling bet. If its regulated we will know exactly whos placing bets and if the money can be followed we can see if the players benefit.

>>32401

Exactly. The players will be less likely to collude with more oversight. Any large bet placed is going to have a lot investigation just like when you pull out or deposit more than $10,000 at a bank.

People have been betting on sports since the gladiators. Making gambling illegal is fucking stupid and a crime against civilization. Just like making drugs illegal. FREEDOM!

DICKS EVERYWHERE

I fucking HATED him during his runs with Oakland/Tennessee/USC, but when he went to OC of Bama, and now coach of FIU (or is it FAU? can't be bothered to look it up) and faded into the background a bit, I now really appreciate him for his personality and honesty. Football coaches are so fucking protective and sterile that I've really started to miss the Steve Spurriers of the world. Kiffin is walking in his footsteps, so I've come around to being a fan of his.

So is there really going to be a brown wave this year?

>>32455

Legitimate chance they compete for division title. Not saying they will or can even make the playoffs, but the team if full of talent and has a QB who makes few mistakes and a better roster than the one he took to the playoffs last year.

Looks like I autodrafted the right players lol. What a huge first game for me.
