Hot take: NBA Superstars will not participate in NBA Dunk contest cause they scared of the white boy Mac McClung... Unreal what he does ...

My hot take:
Don't let NBA players participate in the dunk contest. Allow dunk contest participants from the cities with NBA teams and do a lead up to a 4 person dunk contest championship with a $500k first prize. Really is no telling what kind of dunks we could see. Think a little And1 action.

I didn't think it was that weak. He didn't make an effort to pull up, and the blocker didn't 100% force him into the kicker. He was hit from the side and not that hard, and it looked to me like he had already started to lunge toward him. Yes his lunge initially might have taken him away from the leg and the block prevented that, but it wasn't like he had pulled up already and they pushed him from behind into the kicker, which is where you see that not called.

Incredibly stupid of him to put himself in that position on what was clearly a punt safe call. I agree it shouldn't have been called, but only because the kicker wasn't hit hard enough or at a moment of being defenseless, but again, close call.

I don’t think the rule says that the blocker has to 100% force the player into the kicker. By the very nature of a punt, a defensive player is running toward the kicker. Any contact that re-directs that player is a block toward the punter. You can’t just speculate as to what the player does without being blocked.

I don’t know that everyone got a punt safe call either. I’m sure he’s taught that if he isn’t blocked by anyone at the line, then to use his judgment toward the punter. He was 5 yards deep immediately. He blocked one against Chattanooga in the first game coming off the same edge, got chipped, and actually didn’t hit the punter at all. He lunged from about 5 yards away.

I say that tongue-in-cheek as someone with many Indian friends through academia. When you bring up an Indian stereotype they 1. Think its hilarious and 2. Say "That's South India, forgive them" to the bad ones. Almost all my friends are from North and Northwest India so they just blame the South for the bad stuff

Curiously, people I interacted with in the south also shared that India’s problems were regional, but for them, India’s problems were rooted in the north.

Everyone else on our team went into punt safe. 1v5 going after the punter is silly. I'm not saying it should have been called, I'm just saying asking a ref to judge in real time if the blocker was 100% or 50% or 25% responsible for redirecting the player into the kicker is a tall order. He was headed directly for the kicker and was also blocked that direction. Not a cut and dry call either way, especially in real time.

Classic yankees vs rednecks. They've never had a civil war, but they sound primed for it. This is how it probably starts.

I am amused by UConn being unranked. Would like to see Illinois get ranked again (them beating duke would help there, helping us in more than one way). Bama is primed to drop from a 1 to a 2 seed with their remaining schedule. We need to beat them in Knoxville. Would bet Houston loses at least one game with games remaining against TT, ISU, Kansas.

That team may have been Vitellos 3rd best team since he's been here. Last year is 1 and 2020 is 2

I'm just glad that Tennessee sign is offset a bit and not in the middle. A simple gesture of rubbing your belly would be downright pornographic.
