this is worse than when ty challenges me on science on the PB. At least he copies his stuff from someone who claims to know what's up.

One of my FB friends is a Hollywood up-and-comer whose girlfriend had a recurring role on "Veronica Mars" and who has supplied my Suggestions feed with a constant stream of headshots of easy-on-the-eyes C-listers, plus the guy who used to host "Curb Appeal" on HGTV. So I think I'm equally qualified to discuss film theory on these boards, thanks much.

You should try this place:



Porchetta (pork loin and pork belly) on ciabatta with lemon and greens. REdiculously good, in a very unhealthy way.

porchetta is excellent. Also good is brasaula [dried filet?] almost less of a beef carpaccio and more sliced dried filet.

Wow. I thought he was gone for sure. The question becomes, what does this mean about Lebron's plans? Did he turn it down because (i) he got the feeling Lebron ain't comin' back, (ii) because he didn't want to wait for lebron to figure it out or (iii) did he just not want to leave MSU?

I'd go with a combo of (ii) and (iii), but I'm hoping it's (i).

I love that he needs a press conference to announce . . . nothing has changed.

I expect a press conference for anything related to Lebron, no matter how far removed.

"Lebron's second cousin once removed once enjoyed a deep dish Chicago style pizza. Press conference on whether this will influence Lebron's decision at noon."

ummm, I'm sleeping easier having heard, "I knew this was a decision for life. I'm a lifer."

that's certainly a change from this morning.

I get 6 million v. 3, but what other reason would he leave? Cleveland's sucess is a real crap shoot- even if Lebron stays- and if they did fix shit and win is that really better for him that if he wins the NCAA next year? the college coach who wins is the guy who won- the pro coach who coaches Lebron is not the guy who won anything.

and his coaching style is so not an NBA style.

Agreed, and Bobby Knight, for example, won championships a long time ago and was close to untouchable for decades. He was successful after that, but his prior success was enough to get him through a lot of crap that he wouldn't have survived in the NBA.

In other words, $3 mil a year for the next 20 years beat $6 mil for the next three years.

Well, $6M/year for the next 5, but OK.

I think you're both nuts.

Hank: Elite coaches don't think, "Cleveland's sucess is a real crap shoot if Lebron is there and I'm coaching." They believe that they would have won multiple championships by now if they had been there earlier (which probably isn't far from the truth given the fact that Mike Brown is a fucking moron.

Adder: $3 million for the next 20 years vs $6 for the next three? Do you live in a bubble, boy? At the absolute worst, he makes $6 million for the next five years and $3 million for the 15 after that. He could come back and take the MSU job if he washed out in the NBA--hell, he could come back and take 100 NCAA coaching gigs if he washed out in the NBA. But if he's successful, it's $6+ million for the next 20 years.

All this talk has convinced me that Lebron is not coming back to Cleveland. Izzo's stated reasons for staying are the reasons why he shouldn't have been considering it seriously in the first place. But I think he thought Lebron would jump at the chance to play for him, which he did not. So why risk coaching a Lebron-less Cavs crew?
