Is Michigan in trouble?

Michigan might actually get fucked here. If the NCAA can’t punish them for lying to them about cheating then what can they do? NCAA might flex as much muscle as they can

“Moore could face a show-cause penalty and possibly a suspension for allegedly deleting a thread of 52 text messages with former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions in October 2023 on the same day that media reports revealed Stalions was leading an effort to capture the playcalling signals of future opponents.”

Brandon Miller will be better than Anthony Edwards

I realize saying Brandon Miller will be better than Anthony Edwards is a hot take since Ant just dominated the defending champs, but B Miller is nice. Brandon Miller plays for the Hornets, who sucked because of injuries yet again. These injuries gave him a chance to be the focal piece of the offense at times. Brandon Miller shot better than Ant did his rookie year (numbers above), and he has a higher shooting ceiling (form and height).

My Hornets could keep sucking forever, but if LaMelo can ever be healthy and they can ever find a 5 that can play defense. They have something with Brandon Miller. Miller doesn’t have the “pop” athleticism that Ant has, but he does have the ability to hang in the air like Ant. I mean look at this dunk.

The Hornets rarely hit on lottery picks. Hell I wanted them to draft Scoot – maybe it’s just cause of the Miller-Alabama gun stuff – but boy was I wrong. Miller can play. I doubt the Hornets will hit on this year’s 6th pick. I think they should go with Salaun (6 foot 9 hardworking frenchmen), Topic (Tall guard if LaMelo doesn’t pan out), or Cody Williams (nba starter at least). If the Hornets can hit on this pick this year, they are actually setting up nicely. Davis Bertans, who won’t be resigned, is the second biggest cap hit right now after LaMelo. The Batum signing was terrbile. The Rozier/Hayward signings were not viewed as bad, but they kinda were. Rozier and Hayward got paid about 50 million a year combined on the Hornets and didn’t ever make the playoffs. Rozier and Hayward complained and said snide things about how shitty they Hornets culture was after they left – yeah yall were brought to make it better as veterans.

Brandon Miller may never be great because of the team that drafted him, but I think he can be a top 10 nba player and in MVP conversations on the Hornets. If that happens, Hornets fans (me) would love him forever.

Tigers -108 for 4 units. 3 of the units are straight up and 1 unit is using Draftkings Up 2 Early Win Promo. Maeda has been pitching well – Gave up 3 hits in 5 innings last time out. Matz sucks though. Had this line at -155 based on the starters. Matz got roughed up by Arizona last time out, but the start before we he got rocked by the A’s worries me more. Canha and Vierling have been hitting better for the Tigers. I like this spot.

Pirates -130 for 1 unit.

Joe Boyle over 5.5 strikeouts +105 for 1 unit.

White Sox over 2.5 -145 for 1 unit.

Marlins -145 for 1 unit.

Masters

Tiger Woods is still playing in the Masters, so I am still young. If Tiger keeps playing, I will be forever young. March Madness watching trained me for the Masters binging about to begin. The Masters app. The ESPN app. I want all the coverage!

Picking Rahm in my one and done pool. It is hard for me to see Scheffler and Rahm outside of the top 10.

Spieth, Zalatoris, and Matsuyama have all played well here but have injuries. Wyndham Clark is still having trouble. Eric Cole is struggling to find a driver he likes. Lot of storylines. Seems like this year has been the year of the debutants with Knapp, Bhatia, Eckroat, Dunlap, and Pavon all winning on Tour for the first time this year. I know Bhatia won the Barracuda last year, but yeah I’ll throw him in there as he is a debutant here. Aberg (need some shares – hes gonna do well), Wydham Clark, Denny McCarty, and Stephen Jaeger represent the other notable first timers. All bets below are for 1 unit (60$ for me) unless otherwise stated.

Eric Cole to miss the cut +130.

Taylor Moore Tourney Matchup over Eric Cole -130

Peter Malnati Round 1 Group +220

Scottie, Rahm, Matsuyama, DJ make cut DK boost +100

Scottie +450.

Henley +6600 for .25 units.

1st Round Leader Bets – S. Garcia +6500 for 0.25 units. Kirk +10625 w/ boost for .25 units. Im +8750 for 0.25 units. Zalatoris +4000 for 0.25 units. Theegala +3000 for .25 units. Matsuyama +3300 for 0.50 units.

Adam Hadwin to make cut -200

Erik Van Rooyen top South African even

Grillo top South American +270

Woods to miss the cut -120

Nick Taylor Top Canadian +225

Scottie, Rahm, and Spieth top 20 +275 – Spieth is a little hurt, but the bet has been placed. He loves the Masters, not scared of a little exposure on him.

Rahm top 10 – Henley top 20 – theegala top 30 – Sergio Garcia top 40 +1512 for 0.8 units.

Woodland over Woods – Moore over Cole – Theegala over Johnson tournament matchup parlay +479

Rahm top 10 – Ludvig Aberg top 20 – Hatton top 30 – Schenk top 40 +311

Picking Aberg, Scheffler, Harris English, Sergio Garcia, and Henley in my daily lineups.

Reds -108 for 3 units. Aaron Ashby just got called up and he is pitching against a Reds lineup that is top-10 in OPS and Slugging so far this season. Ashcraft looked good in his last start for the Reds when Bryce Harper wasn’t the batter. I like this starting pitcher spot. Also have some sprinkles on Red 1st 5 and Team total.

Yankees -1.5 +125 and over 8.5 even for 1 unit each.

Diamondbacks -1.5 -120 for 1 unit. Rockies fade.

Wild Jags Story

The Jaguars hired a sex offender. Found out. Fired him. He would remote into the Jumbotron out of spite? He did it enough that the FBI tracked it and he had more sex offender stuff at his house. Maybe not as crazy as the Baltimore Bridge collapse or P Diddy and Cuban Gooding Jr being sex offenders but the World keeps on spinning.
