That's the "Coach" I'm talking about.
The best comment was earlier, when after an offensive holding call on third and long was being called, he claimed that the first-down catch "didn't matter". Of course it mattered, you idiot. You don't have to accept the penalty and give them another chance if the catch wasn't made.
The other dude figured it out like 2 minutes later (after the replay of the catch) and had to explain it to him. It's unbelievable to me that he was actually a coach.

I'll say this about tomorrow's game.... I can't find anyone who likes CMU. I'm in two bowl pools and 9/10 folks have WKU and for big points.
That sort of support and such a late move off of 3 makes me a little nervous.

CFB Tomorrow:
Rocky Long broke my 4 game winning streak, but we move on (like we did with Clemson and NIU)
WKU -3.5
If you watched Marshall and NIU today, you saw a real difference in talent. WKU has the #9 offense in the nation and score 44 points a game in a better conference. I slightly lean over here, but I think WKU wins comfortably. I had this as a 6 point game in my system FWIW.
Fresno State/Rice OVER 59.5
Fresno plays no defense at all, none. They do score points though and even though Rice's offense has issues at times, I think these teams trade just enough points to go over. I think a 35-28 or 35-31 score is in order.

LAS VEGAS (Dec. 23, 2014) Save the Date(s). The 46th World Series of Poker (WSOP) the longest-running, richest and most prestigious tournament series begins on Wednesday, May 27, 2015 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
The action-packed schedule includes gold bracelet events, satellites, cash games and thrice daily deep stack tournaments running for 49 consecutive days, with the WSOP Main Event reaching its final nine players on Tuesday, July 14, 2015.
The summer festival reaches its pinnacle with the globes longest-running poker tournament -- the $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Holdem WSOP Main Event championship -- which is slated to run over ten consecutive days from July 5 - July 14, 2015 and will feature three starting flights Sunday, July 5; Monday, July 6; and Tuesday, July 7. The 2015 World Champion will be guaranteed to win $10,000,000.
Also back on the schedule in 2015 will be the Millionaire Maker and Monster Stack, which in 2014 secured their place as the most attended events in all of poker.
The average WSOP gold bracelet event in 2014 featured a $3,503,275 prize pool with $792,504 going to the events winner. The 2014 WSOP featured all of the Top 5 field sizes of the year with the Main Event (6,683 entries), Millionaire Maker (7,977), Monster Stack (7,863), Little One for ONE DROP (4,496) and Seniors Event (4,425 entries) combining to attract a staggering 31,444 entries.
We believe the WSOP is uniquely able to deliver the big event with life-changing money for some and a life-experience for all, said WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart. We are going to proudly stage the kinds of events which draw players from all around the world while also staying true to our heritage of contesting all variants of poker.
To that end, the WSOP is pleased to announce the first new event for 2015. A flagship event to kickoff the opening weekend of the WSOP schedule and deliver the largest field ever to play in a live poker tournament. Dubbed the Colossus this two starting day event on Friday, May 29 and Saturday, May 30 will feature a $5,000,000 prize pool guarantee and the lowest buy-in for any WSOP open event in 35 years just $565! There will be two starting flights each day at 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM with a re-entry format (limited to flights they have not previously entered). Players will love the robust 5,000 in starting chips with the tournament beginning without an ante and blinds at 25/50.
Load up the entire gang - the home game, the spouse, whomever you know that enjoys the game, said Stewart. The Colossus is going to feature a historic prize pool at this buy-in level and it can only happen at the World Series of Poker.
Buy-ins for tournaments at the Rio start as low as $75. Cash games will begin on May 27 and run 24 hours a day throughout the seven-week series taking place in the spacious Rio Convention Center.
Mixed games will again be well represented at the 2015 WSOP. The two-track system for popular disciplines of poker, with a $1,500 track and $10,000 Championship disciplines set to return.
Some other key tournaments confirmed already to circle on your calendars include:
Friday, June 5/Saturday, June 6: Millionaire Maker The second Friday/Saturday of the series marks the return of the successful Millionaire Maker event with a couple new wrinkles sure to be a hit with players. In the 2015 iteration, players will begin with 7,500 in starting chips an increase of 66.6 percent. The event moves to two starting days to make things more comfortable for players. The Millionaire Maker No-Limit Holdem event on June 5-6 will again feature a $1,500 investment, with the winner guaranteed to earn at least $1,000,000. The event will feature two starting flights, Flight A on June 5 at 10:00 AM and Flight B on June 6 at 10:00 AM. Eliminated Flight A players may re-enter Flight B. The tournament starts with no ante, and blinds of 25/50, giving players 150 big blinds at the outset. This event featured a record 7,977 entries in 2014 and the winner, Jonathan Dimmig earned $1,319,587 and the prize pool last year exceeded $10.7 million.
Friday, June 12/Saturday, June 13: Monster Stack The no-doubt-about-it tournament of 2014 was the WSOPs Monster Stack. It returns in 2015 with some new wrinkles. It will include two starting flights, one on Friday, June 12 and the other on Saturday, June 13. This year, both flights will begin at 10:00 AM. Players will begin with 15,000 in starting chips for their $1,500 investment, and with the move off of a Thursday start in 2014, the expectation is this event will exceed the record 7,863 unique entries and $10.6 million prize pool of its debut.
Friday, June 19: Seniors Championship Easily one of the most anticipated events each summer, this year will be no exception. In 2014, the event attracted 4,425 entries, creating a $3,892,500 prize pool. Dan Heimiller captured the gold bracelet and the $627,462 first place prize. In 2015, the Seniors Championship will begin at 10:00 AM on June 19, with a special addition. Players will begin play with 5,000 in starting chips an increase of 66.6% over the previous starting stack. The $1,000 buy-in event will see players start with 100 big blinds, with Level 1 starting with no ante and blinds at 25/50. In addition to the Seniors Event, this year a Super Seniors $1,000 buy-in event is being added for players ages 65 and older. The Super Seniors event is expected to be in close proximity to the Seniors event.
Thursday, June 25: Ladies Championship The Ladies event in 2015 moves to a Thursday start at 12 noon. The $10,000 buy-in (90% off for ladies) event will also get a big boost in starting chips, with players getting 5,000 chips and a 100-big blinds for Level 1. The move to Thursday is in response to feedback of participants looking to maintain the option to play one of the big open No-Limit Holdem events that run on the coinciding weekend.
Sunday, June 28th: ONE DROP High Roller With the Big One for ONE DROP on its biannual leave, the ONE DROP High Roller returns with a $111,111 buy-in at 1:00 PM on Sunday, June 28. If 2013 is any indication, this event stands to be the largest field for a six-figure buy-in of any tournament in the world. ONE DROP founder Guy Laliberté is one of the first commitments to the tournament, which drew a staggering 166 unique players with Anthony Gregg winning $4,830,619 in 2013. This event will continue with its charitable component.
Tuesday, June 30: Little One for ONE DROP The fourth biggest tournament of 2014 returns with some terrific enhancements for the 2015 version. The event will now feature a $1,000 buy-in, with players getting an increased starting stack of 5,000 in chips, an increase of 25 percent. But better yet, if players pay an additional $111, they will be able to double their starting stack to 10,000 in chips. We call this add-on feature the Donating for Double with all $111 going directly to support our charity partner, the ONE DROP organization (www.ONEDROP.org). Players will be required to pay for their add-on at the time of registration if they elect that option. The event will feature two starting flights, Flight A at 10:00 AM on June 30 and Flight B at 4:00 PM the same day. This is also an unlimited re-entry event during the open registration period. Players may re-enter the same flight or the alternate flight as often as they wish. Same rules apply as original entry. $1,000 buy-in for 5,000 in chips, with 10,000 chips being the starting stack if a player adds-on the $111 Donating for Double feature.

Sure they do. I highly doubt spo wants him if his best coaching bud Stan just dumped him but the front office would happily take him and his inefficient 19 footers for a few mil a year. Think of the possible heat lineup with cole, chalmers, smith, deng in it and you'll begin to understand why folks round here are hot that James left us with this steaming pile o ####.

I only read about him, but I know every Pistons fan hated him. Some ESPN stats and info tweets
Josh Smith was on pace to be the 1st NBA player ever to shoot below 40% FG & below 50% FT while taking at least 12 shots per game.
Josh Smith has a true shooting pct of 41.7%, last among qualified players. Last year, he was also last (46.3%)
Since 3-pt line was introduced in 1979-80, Josh Smith has the 2nd-worst career 3-pt FG pct (27.8%), min. 1,000 att. *barkley was #1
