wow that has doors and everything

"where there is hardly anyone on the course when I show up."

So you still think that's b/c it's a small club? Obviously you haven't taken the hint...

"One thing people always say about BOL is that half the members could get into any club in the world and the other half could only get into BOL."

Which one are you?

Well, I only belong to one club so you tell me.

Larry Brown gets dissed for leaving SMU too soon after the Dallas shootings. Headline reads: "Larry Brown thinks only about Larry Brown as he leaves SMU." I think they should have gone all the way and rendered it as "Larry Brown thinks only about Larry Brown as Larry Brown leaves SMU"...

Jimmy doesn't like Larry Brown

SEC backslaps ACC with slogan.....

So Harrison Barnes, coming off a season in which he averaged 11.7 ppg and 4.9 rpg (with career averages of 10.7 and 4.6) and shooting <45% fg and <38% from behind the arc, signs a 4 year, $94 million contract with the Mavs. Obviously they must feel he's going to improve those numbers significantly as a main option rather than as a 4th or 5th option as he was with Golden State, but damn, it's amazing that a player with those numbers is worth almost $100 million. Might happy for him, though...

Actually, here is a Grantland article from last September opining that Harrison Barnes might be the most intriguing free agent of 2016. Opens with the widespread skepticism he faced when he turned down a 4 year, $64 million offer from the Warriors. Looks like he made himself $30 million by not taking the Warriors offer...

It was an easy decision because of the cap. I still haven't taken the time to quantify what a $94M/4 yrs means in the 2012 cap arena. However, I bet his salary will wind up being in the upper ranges of low upper tier players.

More importantly, I don't think he's consistent enough to be considered low upper tier. His defense is solid, I will give him that.

I tend to agree, but I am interested to see what his game looks like as the second option rather than the 4th or 5th. But it might look worse...

So are you just now hearing about the inflated contracts all the NBA free agents are getting this summer?

I just didn't see somebody putting up barely decent numbers like that commanding $24 million a year. And even though I could definitely see him breaking out and getting somewhere close to 20 ppg (but that's still a big if) I just didn't think that level of performance would be worth that much money. But good for him, I'm happy for him

These salaries are a joke. Just like Hedge.

Is it true that Melania Trump just enrolled at UNC?
