UCLA wants to move their home games to SoFi Stadium

I saw yesterday , that the city of Pasadena and the Rose Bowl filed a lawsuit against UCLA to keep them from moving

then I saw last night , that UCLA said , hos can Pasadena file a lawsuit against something that hasn't even happened

just my guess here , but I'd guess that Pasadena had enough information that the discussions had taken place and gone far enough to warrant a lawsuit

[www.latimes.com]

this is just my thoughts now , but I can see both sides

UCLA did sign a extension all the way through 2044 , and the city of Pasadena agreed to upgrade the Rose Bowl , with the understanding would remain tenants , but just how many of those upgrades were based on UCLA alone , I have no idea

and now for UCLA's side , they signed that extension way back in 2014

if someone in 2014 have told you , UCLA would no longer even be in the Pac 12 , of have to pay 20 million dollars in NIL funds to student athletes every year who have even been at your universities for years , you would have asked them what they were smoking

but when it comes to college sports , we live in a whole nuther world

I'm sure when UCLA signed that contract , they could have never envisioned a world were they would travel to Maryland for a conference softball game

something to keep an eye one , one days the Bruins locker room might be right next to the Rams

Moving to Florida

My wife got a Job recently at John Hopkins in St Petes. I know a few of you live in Florida and I have met some of you at tailgates. Any advice? Lived in Arkansas all my life. She starts June 30th and is already down there staying with her parents now. I am trying to sell the house and then I will be right behind her... But I don't have a Job waiting on me so I have no clue what I'm going to be doing. Kinda scary and exciting at the same time. I do know I love deep sea fishing so I'll get to do plenty of that from now on!

What success/value is a 6th or 7th round pick?

Today's Athletic newsletter has interesting information about this subject.

Summary - past 5 years, a mere 3% of the 397 players drafted in the 6th/7th have any particular value = 11 players. Only 2 in the past two years -- and the one cited with the most success from 2024 is Beaux Limmer, who has faded badly.
So - these trades for 6-7 picks are a major reach.
2022 stands out with Purdy, Pacheco and Rasheed Walker.
2021 had Trey Smith.
I didn't see anyone else of value.
The rest of the article has a lot of good stuff about draft history.

Rams Pulled Off The HEIST OF THE YEAR

This is from a YouTube channel I never saw before but for the information provided, I find it very interesting.

He talks about the McCreary trade and how it pans out. It is a simplified explanation but one I think we can all understand.

The NBA (And how it has changed)

I don't know if it's me but the NBA has been terribly boring the last 10 years where I just can't watch it any more..... even my beloved Lakers.

It kind a reminds me how basketball is played in Europe...... lots of flopping, three guys standing around the three point line waving their arms for the ball, and one guy dribbling the ball around for 15 seconds.

I still haven't got used to the zone defense in pros.... to me that is so high school, and all the touch fouls that are now called.... I really miss the old school NBA style of play.

Rams on a bye, are you as well?

So normally on Rams bye weeks it gives me a chance to do some stuff around the house and yard. Today I plan on cleaning out the basement and getting the yard ready for winter. I’ll most likely watch a little football today but having a little break will be nice. What’s everyone’s plans today? Just want the Whiners to lose at all costs!

U.S. Chess Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky's Death Being Investigated.

Only twenty-nine years old, Naroditsky became a grandmaster (the highest ranking in chess other than world champion) at seventeen, played chess and did incredibly well at a young age.

From what little from what I can tell it looks like, his boyhood idol, former world champion Vladimir Kramnik, basically called him and basically everyone a cheater and directed a smear campaign that drove him to this death, and now Kramnik is inserting himself into the investigation and calling Naroditsky an "addict" and himself a "victim" of it all. Kramnik sounds like a real piece of shit that a lot of other chess players and fans around the sport utterly hate because he's basically being a sore old loser and calling everyone cheaters when he loses, while Naroditsky is beloved by a lot of chess people, not just for his skills, not just because he brought chess into the wider public eye and online as a player and teacher, but because the guy was apparently very nice to his fellow competitors, warm to his fans, and a good person in real life, and his integrity was beyond reproach.

May he rest in peace and paradise.
