Just wanted to let everyone know that I've taken a leave of absence from mod duties. I'll still be lurking and posting some, just not as frequently, mostly during the day. If you need anything, hit up the other 4.

Panthers should use all of their draft picks and capspace on completely revamping the offensive line. Saying that the pass protection / run blocking is a joke would be an understatement.

I didn't cash with 276 points tonight in NBA. Thats over 5 times value. DFS has been brutal to me the last two weeks. Maybe I should get away from draftkings and try fanduel.

I like it.

He only has 1 year left on his contract, he's not getting any faster, and for as big as he is, he isn't a very aggressive pass catcher.
Also, the O line is so bad that Cam doesn't have enough time to wait for him to get open.

Former Charlotte draftee (then immediately traded for $$) Jeremy Tyler has been signed by the Sydney Kings.

How bad do you have to be, to fall out of the chinese league?

Well, you know.. the international gig can be extremely tough for Americans. Tyler might have been doing his thing, hustling, grabbing rebounds and scoring some, yet they told him that they need someone who can average 30. Especially with the crazy stats that they have going on in that league.

This 280 character Twitter thing is kind of irritating. Cuts down on those long threads but that's about it.

yeah true, will be interesting to see how he goes in Australia. I hope he's kept his fitness up as we are generally a smaller, faster league. Although we've seen a change where imports don't have to be stars here and now sign some just to be role players.

if they answer the phone could always ask if they've got family visiting is it a good time, but I wouldn't think twice about calling tomorrow, business as usual, stock market open, biggest shopping day of the year so everybody busy shopping that's all
