Not yet, he just fired his TE coach.

The Laker off-season played out just slightly different than some had hoped

BGRTHNUMEGO

If the only difference you see between a Honda Civic & a BMW M5 is the price it’s okay for you to buy & drive the Civic.

Tokolosh Stop the Stupid party member

True. More difference between the two than price.

How does he compare to Ja'Kobe Walter?

JuicyJam

Skill-wise, hopefully he's not too close.

SinkingQuffa

Walter was picked #19 by Toronto. Edgecombe is projected #6 in next year's

Next years draft projection doesn't mean much at this point.

Mitty

Because it wants an ARG v BRA final.

Literally? So they change the bracket based on where lots are drawn?

Mitty

No idea. But it wouldn't suprise me.

Yeah, but what about Kim Jong-Il's as an athlete? He shot a 38 under including 11 holes in one.

TN_Coug

He has killed several birds with one just one bomb

I couldn't disagree more.

Honestly, I think gymnasts are the group that is most likely to be able to...

cougarBee

4:09pm

How many 200lb gymnasts do you know? A former gymnast picking up football?!

Archaea

4:13pm

This take is nuts and wildly misinformed. Gymnasts are the best athletes on the planet.

Haysom Till

3:37pm

Define "best" and "athlete"?

Archaea

Here's my definition, and this may shock you,

I don't even know how you would apply your definition and if

Archaea

Try reading my post again, or have it read to you if that helps.

gangbusters

4:01pm

So you just came up with one to fit gymnasts. Where would you put pole vaulters?

Archaea

4:03pm

No I didn't come up with one "to fit gymnasts." Pole vaulting IMO does not come

gangbusters

4:06pm

I don't know what your definition of technically difficult is.

Archaea

or cyclists, road or track?

Archaea

I think I've read that book:

foofcoug

3:44pm

So, Mariano Rivera, best closer ever, is not a great athlete? Um, ok.

Jelly Man

3:47pm

Well duh, if he can't do a 100m hurdles than of course not.

gangbusters

3:50pm

False metric. A great athlete isn't the greatest across all other sports.

Archaea

3:55pm

So, according to your definition, Danny Ainge is the best athlete ever at BYU.

Jelly Man

3:59pm

Danny Ainge is probably BYU's greatest athlete ever.

Archaea

4:01pm

I think your definition of an athlete is one of semantics that most would not

BIG XII Coug

I'm not sure. The CONCACAF teams are already basically out. But the blown calls will probably only benefit BRA & ARG now

POLL: What is the most you'd be willing to spend on a vehicle (used or new doesn't matter)?

For those selecting anything above $40k…what is your rationale for spending that

BlooCoug

2:35pm

Who says it is a depreciating asset?

kccougar

2:36pm

95% of the time automobiles are likely depreciating assets. Collector cars that

BlooCoug

2:37pm

Right. And you said new or used doesn't matter. I would pay over $40k for an appreciating asset vehicle.

kccougar

2:38pm

Okay, that makes sense. What about a non-collector vehicle?

BlooCoug

2:40pm

People spend unnecessary funds on all kinds of experiences and for some, driving their vehicles is as much an experience
