I like this week in the NFL; it’s like having two superbowl games without all the pregame hype–just top-notch football. I’m taking ‘Frisco to make the dance, while I just can’t decide on the KC-Ravens duel. Good stuff all around!
Tim can you conferm this?
From T. Peterson: I can confirm what I was told which was “No Comment.” By the way I just searched your URL and saw all of the comments that you post under different names. They’re all about the same guy! Man, you’re obsessed with this guy. He lives rent free in your head. You should get some help for that before it completely consumes you.
Nogales needs to be careful with the Coach Prime of HS football in charge of its program. Every thing this guy touches becomes trouble and those who associate themselves with him often regret it. Now it’s being reported that the longtime Covina AD has been relieved of his duties because of things that happen at the all-star game. And from the looks of it, the new Nogales HC doesn’t have to deal with any of the aftermath.
I’d absolutely love to see Philadelphia meet the Clippers in the finals. James Harden would be so motivated, he’d play like he did 10 years ago, and the L.A. team would win it all.
*8 What’s the back story here? Winning record like that is not normally grounds for firing your coach. Maybe the Lakers should interview him. Heck at 22-23 Lakers need some kind of help.
8) He can now retire with one of the best winning percentages in NBA history and continue to get checks $$$ for two plus years !
