It's playoff time. It's when refs let the best players, play. I went to a hockey game last night between the Binghamton Black Bears and Carolina Thunderbirds for the conference championship of the Federal Prospect's Hockey League. The arena was sold out days ago and my buddy had gotten me a ticket. The arena was ridiculously loud and nuts, and the crowd kept chanting, "Refs You Suck", because they didn't call an infraction every time a player got pushy or losing their cool, especially around the net. I loved the fact they didn't call every infraction and just let them play. They pretty much let both teams play as hard as they wanted, tempers and all - both were the top teams in the league, and it was for the championship and the refs were not going to determine the outcome. To put it bluntly, it was great to watch them play their hearts out without the refs getting into every skirmish or incidental? hook, etc. They let them play, which is what happens in most cases when champions face champions for a title match. Much more interesting to let the testosterone flow and "may the best man win" type of game

Hence, I'm seeing in the NBA, some dirty plays (both ways sometimes) and the refs let them play it out on their own terms. I am a bit surprised at just how physical the game has become. It's mono e mono - hand-to-hand combat. And that's the way it should be. They've had an entire season to get conditioned to the rules of the game and to know how hard to push the rules. Almost like back in the days of the Roman Coliseum...LOL

BTW, Binghamton won and it was bedlam at the arena https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/black-bears-win-commissioner-s-cup-championship-earn-first-title-in-franchise-history/ar-BB1mc7P8

Is the Giants' 2024 roster better than the one Joe Schoen inherited after the 2021 season?


Is the New York Giants' roster today better than the one Joe Schoen inherited from Dave Gettleman when he took over as general manager in 2022?

There are 11 players on the current 90-man roster who were drafted or signed by Gettleman. They are:

WR Darius Slayton, LT Andrew Thomas, DT Dexter Lawrence, edge Azeez Ojulari, CB Aaron Robinson, PK Graham Gano, LS Casey Kreiter, RB Gary Brightwell, LB Carter Coughlin, CB Darnay Holmes, QB Daniel Jones.




A breakdown:

 Deebo Samuel 4.48

We should throw Free Agent RB Dante Miller into the mix as he ran a 4.28 40x.

Or the worst draft if JJ McCarthy balls out.
