Ouch! This was just awful and gruesome. Huge loss for the pacers and my thoughts go to him and his family. http://deadspin.com/paul-george-breaks-his-leg-horrifically-in-team-usa-scr-1614935035

I'm gonna go ahead and use some common sense and NOT watch this.

I can still barely watch the Theisman video, and that's super-grainy barely-SD stuff there.

Haven't watched it and won't go out of my way to do so.

I figure it's not pretty and I figure it hits a little too close to home for me.

Not me.  He made a conscious choice to jump so dangerously close to the goal standard so ... he gets whats coming to him.

Nice :beer: So I guess DJ hit a tee shot so hard his golf ball filled with Cocaine exploded and that's where he got the initial appetite for the stuff?

Hadn't thought of that, but seems plausible. :-P

Joking aside ... I saw the end of a headline on the ticker last night that sounded like somebody was out there blaming the stadium for this.  It was something about the goalpost being a couple of inches too close to the baseline or something??  Not sure if that is just overzealous reporters or if thats actually a story.  Can't seem to find it anywhere.

Yes. The stanchion in Vegas is closer to the court than it is in regular NBA stadiums. That is why they do not hold NBA games there. Yet they inexplicably hold summer league and USA Basketball scrimmages there! Usa Bball! The best players in the world! http://deadspin.com/non-standard-stanchion-location-contributes-to-paul-geo-1615031496

Yeah Brian Windhorst talked about his on ESPN a few nights ago. He flat out said this was not a FIBA thing but a Thomas and Mack Center thing.

I wonder how long it will be before professional teams start to discourage their players from participating in Team USA events and we see amateurs take their place.  This was a big loss to the Pacers and with no cap relief they are going to have a tough time filling his spot.

I don't ever see amateurs coming back to the olympics..more likely coaches will pine for better courts or potentially not let their stars participate in meaningless scrimmages...as for the pacers: They're screwed. Paul George is one of the best 10, 15 players in the league and it will be extremely difficult to do much without him. No Lance Stephenson either..

I heard Jim Boeheim (US assistant coach) talking about that this morning and he made a point that these guys are always going to be playing basketball in the offseason anyway, whether organized or pickup. This injury is a fluke thing and it is probably better that they are playing in a regulated environment like Team USA than a pickup game in a gym somewhere.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.

      My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.

      My Swing (Dobiwankenobi5)

      By DobiWanKenobi5 ·

      I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years  My current handicap index or average score is: 1.5 My typical ball flight is: neutral /slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook   Looking for some advice please folks. Started golfing three years ago and got hooked. Had some early lessons and was a slicer etc.  I used to have a severe inside takeaway and through working hard to fix as ever (this game…) it’s now gone too far the other way where I take it back way outside.  i think it looks really bad and have gotten a lesson last year where we tried to competely reset the swing and it ruined things for months as I couldn’t get it to stick (my fault).    anyway do I need to fix this? I hit it reasonably solid but don’t know what else I’m looking at or need to clean up. All opinions welcomed!  Videos:
