I know some people may be tired of the deflated football story but here is an interesting read on the Patriots and how long it could have been an issue.

The way that headline is cut off makes it pretty misleading. They are raising prices 5% for next year. Prices paid for this year are unaffected.

To be fair, according to the article we're one of the cheapest tickets in the NBA...

An annual survey by Team Marketing Report in November determined the Hornets had the second-cheapest ticket prices of the 30 NBA teams.

Before recent changes you used to be able to see who And 1'd your post. I liked that because you could get a feel for who agreed with your mindset without their having to post. Is there a way to still see who And 1's you?

There's a button next to each individual post that tells you how many And 1s you have. Just click on it for who it was. That said, it's kind of a pain it doesn't show up in notifications anymore.

Came here to post that. Crazy. He's in good academic standing and as far as I know hasn't been in any legal trouble. Bizarre.

Hes always been kind of a pouting temperamental type of player. I think he came into the season expecting to be the starting SG, and he got beat out for the job.

He got cut from the program though in the middle of the season though. I mean that doesn't happen. Just bench him or tell him to take a break for a little bit.

Well something obviously happened or multiple things have happened to culminate to this. Coach K doesn't put up with any of that kind of nonsense, especially from someone like Sulaimon who is easily replaceable with Matt Jones or Grayson Allen.
