Define Gambling Crime?
Yes, Pete Rose should be in the HOF
No, you should not be allowed to participate in college/pro sports when gambling action can be made and you as an athlete choose to gamble on the sport you play.

I say this was the inevitable result of the NCAA’s stupid policies over the years — which have been replaced by NIL & the transfer portal. This is like a state legalizing cannabis. Do you let the people out of jail who broke the law when it was illegal? Do you automatically expunge their convictions?
yes

I think UCONN had a game plan others tried to do do the last 2 years, let Edey have his and shut the rest down, probably for Purdue was size of UCONN guards and the fact they stayed disciplined on protecting the 3 point line at all costs, so Purdue tried and did get in the lane, just couldn't keep up with those 2's and the tough 2s that UCONN made them shoot.
They had the more talented team and showed against everyone in the tournament.

Why are our "narratives" click bait whereas what McAfee and Herbstreit say is the gospel? Can't pick and choose.
I long ago gave up on ESPN to provide unbiased journalism so I am not sure why I am now supposed to simply blindly believe their "reporting" and opinion pieces.
I watched enough college football this season with my educated eyes to make an informed opinion. I don't need others to form one for me.
For me, the sources of the information coming out matter. For instance, would I tend take what Colin Cowherd or Skip Bayless opinion on CW or would I think former College/NFL greats who are still involved in the business opiniion when it comes to leadership, player performance, attitude etc?
And I believe when you say your watching of college football and that is fine
Once again, watching the headlines last 2 weeks get out of control during the time period of Combine to Draft where the majority of these "hit" pieces generates from is what caused me to comment in this thread in the first point with a counterpoint opposite of yours and others opinion on CW, the player, person, leader.

Coca-Cola or not at all.
You know, fact was, I put COKE first, because yes, its clear cut, however, since it was tenuous discussion, felt the need to put a poor leader of beverages, a beverage with no skill, leadership, and other negative traits out there for that reaction. Felt it was needed. No argument, Coca-Cola over all
5 hours ago, Muda69 said:What would constitute a successful rookie season for young Mr. Williams in the NFL? For me it would to start every game and the Bears make the playoffs. If one of those doesn't happen he will be a failure. With all the hype I've read such an outcome is certainly possible.
I agree with this: Reason: unlike every other Chicago Bears rookie QB, they actually will have surrounded him with actual bonafide NFL offensive players to throw and hand the ball off to along with a skilled, productive defense. Those are the reasons why I believe they can make the playoffs with him as a ROOKIE QB. Won't be easy with the division on the upswing, and health and OL development is still paramount, but the bears organization as a whole is in far better shape with roster, talent, cap space and skill then previous 10 years.

@Muda69 YOU HAVE TO BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS:

Did any other QB. have their pro day aired live on NFL network? I honestly do not know but wanted to post what some of t shirt throws looked like and general positive reports (I mean, there will never be a negative pro day highlighted and shown imo) -
for me, the question is not something that can be broadly answered
For Maconaquah, to Frankfort, to Carmel, to Rensselaer and all in between all have different needs
Public Education is not a 1 size fits all
The issues that could face Carmel are not the same issues that face East Chicago nor Castle.
(reference, picked a north school, middle state school, southern tip school)
So Muda, question cannot be answered by me, because from your home in the county/city/town you reside could be enough, for you, but for your neighbor it may not just like it may not be enough for another public school district elsewhere

Also, I shall note, if this conversation was being had with Temp, Bash, Bob, and myself with those tasty Pepsi's that can be found coming out of a tasty tap then you would find that the conversation would be your typical sport chat amongst pals
Dudes talking sports if you will. Assumptions of tones in message boards continue to misconstrue messages being delivered.

LOL. Would be brutal to play on if Black in August! and probably tough with black jerseys. I imagine it will be really nice when complete. Hope yours doesn't have any delays like ours did a few years ago... Though I wouldn't mind playing week 1 at home! LOL.
Our staff has had a relationship with a successful coach in Cali, Coach Murphy, He just stepped down at Clayton Valley Charter, anyways, he had a black turf field told me when I asked about it that it was actually field tested to be less hot to play on then other color fields/grass fields for what its worth.
23 hours ago, Muda69 said:I don't recall a $3,000,00 jumbotron at a college/university being paid for with taxpayer funds. Are my local property taxes not enough to properly fund the local government schools, to support it's primary mission?
in short, NO, your local property tax is very much no longer close to being anything significant for funding since 2009
A move away from property taxes
Since the 1970s, Indiana has relied less on local property taxes to fund schools than neighboring states, with the state funding a larger share through sales and income taxes than many states that base their systems primarily on local property taxes.
In the 2000s, Indiana’s state share of general fund dollars to pay for day-to-day operations of schools — such as salaries for teachers and other school workers, equipment like computers and supplies needed to run the schools — had grown from about two-thirds to roughly 85 percent. Just 15 percent of local general funds for schools were paid by property taxes before 2009.
But a change in the law took local property taxes out of the equation entirely when it came to funding the day-to-day expenses of schools. Some local property taxes were still collected to help schools pay for transportation or buildings. Schools could still ask voters to raise local property taxes for extra operating money, but most haven’t asked.
As part of the shift to state funding of school operations, Indiana increased the state sales tax to 7 percent from 6 percent and touted the new system as tax relief for homeowners. But when a recession hit at the same time, causing sales and income tax revenue to drop, the state budget was soon stressed, and schools were among the services that saw funding cut.
As of 2012, U.S. Census data showed that just two states had a greater percentage of school spending coming from the state rather than local, federal or other sources than Indiana’s 51 percent. Only five states relied less on local taxes to fund schools. But Indiana also spent less per student on education than the U.S. average, ranking 28th nationally, according to the Census. Of the four states that border Indiana, only Kentucky spent less per student.
Lawmakers cap property taxes
In 2010, school funding was complicated some more by an effort to make property taxes, which sometimes shifted up or down unexpectedly for homeowners when their home values changed, more stable. The legislature’s solution was tax caps: homeowners now can’t pay more than one percent of the total assessed value of their property in property taxes. So if a home is assessed at 150,000, the residents won’t pay more than $1,500 in property taxes.
But while this stabilized tax bills, it made funding for some school services that still are paid by property taxes, such as transportation, less stable.
Before the change, the tax rate rose when the assessed value of a home dropped, so schools and local governments could still collect the same amount of money. But with the tax caps, the tax rate is now fixed at one percent. The limit means that revenue might fall behind what schools and government need to support the services they pay for.
For example, some districts are using property taxes to pay down debt for school buildings they’ve constructed. For those districts, debt service might eat up a greater portion of the property taxes collected, leaving less to pay for other services, such as busing children to school.
When a district in that situation hits the maximum amount it can collect in property taxes, money can run short as expenses still grow. Costs go up, for example, to buy new buses, repair older ones and pay bus drivers.
When that happens, schools face difficult choices. They can pay for busing by making cuts in other areas, or they can ask voters to approve an additional local property tax hike through a referendum. As a last resort, some districts have cut back transportation services, reducing or even seeking to eliminate buses to bring children to school.

I am an older guy....I am thinking well before 1999 when he took over the helm. Unless one believes Bob Avellini was an all pro.... 😉 Jim McMahon was the last Bears QB I've been excited about, and I wouldn't have called him great.
Awesome you have your faith in Caleb Williams. The way I saw him perform in big games this season, including crying to his parents in a big game that went bad for him, doesn't have me full of confidence. But, I have been wrong plenty of times...may be pleasantly surprised.
Negative statement on why you feel CW is not going to be successful
On 4/1/2024 at 11:17 AM, Bash Riprock said:I am not anti-McCarthy...just discussing if the Rose Bowl (single game) was enough to vault him higher up the draft.
I am with you on Williams...that is why my earlier comments about him to another member questioned his leadership abilities. When SC lost to Washington and he went over and cried to his parents in the stands, that did not capture the essence of leadership...as least for me.
Clear cut statement that you do believe in his leadership ability,
Yes you didn't call him a loser, correct, you have questioned his leadership citing only thing as crying on national tv after a loss.
QuoteNot a fan of you putting words in my mouth coach. First you insinuate I tabbed Williams with the term "Loser" now in this rant, you use the term "Poor Leader". Neither of were in print from me, so thanks for restraining your comments about my intentions with labeling Williams.
I never used either of those terms and you know that. Obviously, I have struck emotion.
I share this example as to whether or not would capture his locker room at the pro level if repeated, which is far different than outright calling him a poor leader. Is this enough to have some pause? For me, along with other recent actions on social media does cause pause.
But hey...just sharing my "lazy" opinion. Which at the end of the day means very little...except obviously to you. Why, I have no idea.
See above, you inferred this, YES< you win, sir, you did not type "POOR LEADER". you implied a through and through
"did not capture essence of leadership for me". Your opinion, however, that is a negative statment clearly implying that moment was not up to snuff for you and you inferred questioning his leadership ability.
"stuck a nerve comments". I am too emotional comment.
Lets address this:
So. I come on this thread about Bears, I read from @Bash Riprockand @temptation commentary on why you both think and have poked at CW as a football player with his poor performance in 1 game, (I showed a thread of other GREAT QBs having a bad college game to debunk that narrative regurgitated from the national clicks and now I have provided a throughal counter point questioning his "crying' his leadership from others who are far more connected to this guy, college and football overall than any of us here.
Because I have done that, I am now obsessed with your opinion because I have a different one and have shown with other sources why your opinion could be rooted in falsehood from a negative national media narrative. Exactly why I posted the Herbie clip from McAfee from a few days ago, sums exactly what happens for guys like... Caleb Williams. and wait for it..a guy like Zach Edey..... and of course a gal like Caitlin Clark
Those 3 players are the BEST players in their respective sports, both you can argue have been the BEST for 2 consecutive years. Because of that, they are targets for negative clickbait gotta fill space and make money articles and narratives to discredit they work they have done on the field so that content is available to make money. I feel like yourself and temptation have followed those narratives, which I used the world Lazy.. that is my opinion on it. I view this threw a different lens you have and that is fine too, but to dismiss all the info I have provided as me somehow rage posting in this scenario is just not accurate.

Thanks Herbie. Another voice of reason as it relates to Internet narratives

Perhaps the power to be will finally let an ALUM like Coach K the time to rebuild the once proud lighting Elmers to their glory!!!
Very happy for my him and wish him nothing but the best returning to his Alma Mater

In fairness, I think we should entertain the possibility that this is simply a generational thing. So much is different now from the “good old days” that I can conceive of the combination of great skill and “now” generation sensitivities being compatible, and not a hindrance.
Look at me, all silver lining …
Do you support mental health initiatives in our High School, College, and Pro Sports? Because after all the other nonsense, this what it comes down to here, Kid breaks down after an emotional loss, seeks comfort with 2 parents, then gets vilified for it by folks here in Indiana and nation wide, when I say good for him and I didn't think anything of it at the time well before Bears got the 1st pick and even more so now.
Ultimately that is what this current conversation is about, the player himself said it, whether anyone gives it a second notion, that is on you all, but for me, I believe in the impact of negative mental health and its performance on the field. Why are many College, Pro orgs hiring full staffs for this very thing?
I sat in at the IFCA state football clinic with Jake Gilbert and his DC now current HC, Josh Miracle along with 3rd party mental health program they have started for the Rocks, It was phenomenal and I took alot of great things from that session.
Sadly, not sure in this thread or not, but there are those sentiments that these conversations and actions of these players make them WEAK and add in all the other macho nonsense that still gets spewed out there, again, Sadly.
