    Bruce Irvin suspended

    The generation of kids who grew up in the 90's & 00's (i.e., people Irvin, Sherman, etc's age) probably have a completely different view of Adderall than the rest of us. They've been living in a world where Doctors handed it out to any kid that wouldn't sit still for 10mins. I saw it...

    Bruce Irvin suspended

    Can everybody in here stop using the word illegal? Regardless of how pissed off you are about what's happened with Irvin, the guy hasn't broken the law. Say you work at a job with a no-tolerance alcohol policy, you have a few beers one night, get popped at a random test the next day and are...

    Bruce Irvin suspended

    Whatever. You don't want to get into the debates, then stop trolling around our threads. IIRC, the 49ers had one of their guys popped for PED's last season too. And if you think my characterization of DeBartelo, Policy & the 49ers front office of the 90's is "laughable" ... well, you have a...

    It was a helluva lot deeper than that and involved FAR more players - The 49ers invented fake years for contracts to stretch out cap hits. Star players like Young, Woodall & Jones would reduce salaries in exchange for "future services" then receive cash payments under the table so it didn't...

    Bruce Irvin suspended

    It's coming out now because the NFL officially announced it. The timing of it makes perfect sense - after rookie camps, before the start of OTA's and training camp. This is the way the League's process is supposed to work when there are no leaks - everything happens behind closed doors until...

    Bruce Irvin suspended

    Be interesting to find out when the failed test took place. Sometimes it takes months for this process to play out, so for all we know, he could've popped the test at some point last year when everyone else was getting busted for it.

    Is an NBA Expansion Team on the horizon for Seattle?

    From 1983 (adding the Mavs) to 2004 (adding the Bobcats) the NBA operated with an odd number of teams. So that argument against is weak. The "have to wait for the new TV deal" argument is also weak. Right now, the existing deal pays $900M a year. When the existing 30 Owners each get their cut...

    Thunder Lose a Heartbreaker

    Man, it was exciting to be a Sonics fan in the 90's. We had that core of Kemp & Peyton, future HOF'ers. Every piece surrounding them was perfect. Played their own unique style of ball. They had some growing pains in the playoffs, but then put together that great run into the Finals.Tough draw -...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    I think you're spot on, Doc - and we're on the same wavelength. The only difference is I always feel the need to stick up for Ackerly, because I think he gets an unfair share of the blame for The Key (and it's also the main reason I'm worried about the current MOU until shovels are actually in...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    Oh, there's plenty of hate for the local and state guys that were involved, but Let's not even pretend the situations were similar. The Kings' struggles, the Maloofs' attempts to move, the need for a new arena and the inability of both sides to work out an arena plan have been out in the open...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    I'm still stuck between waiting for expansion and wanting to see HBN go nuclear over the Kings. Just the cynical side of me, I guess. I've seen too many big projects in Seattle get blown up to be confident that the MOU will survive the full 5 years. And I can't take anything the NBA says about...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    Now that I've had time to calm down, I can seen how it makes sense. being an "insider" gives Hansen a seat at the table and most importantly - direct access to Silver & the other owners to lobby and grease the skids for his next attempt. Personally, I'd much rather HBN use the backup offer to...
