Well…. missed it by that much. This was the exact package I thought would get the Raptors Jimmy Butler in the end. You could argue the Raptors got a better asset. If the Warriors wouldn’t have gotten desperate this article could have been prophetic…

I really respect the grit and moxie of Baker Mayfield. But he is the 12 seed of quarterbacks. Every year he will win a game(s) he should’t. Maybe even get into the Sweet Sixteen. If things break right even an Elite Eight or Final Four. But a championship contender? Nah

As the Lions win another supposedly “meaningless” game on the road. I think back to another “meaningless” game that defined and kicked off this run. I watched it in person and nearly froze to death. It was also the first piece I wrote for this site

We’ve seen this movie before. Riley will look calmly into the camera and say “I am not going to be the head coach at UCF”. Then quickly takes the North Carolina job. He doesn’t lie. UCF is just the Trace Armstrong trial balloon
