The NBA used to be a progressive league when it came to rule changes, alignment, and self-assessment. The lack of leadership & forward thinking over the last 10 years has been disappointing. Length of season, grassroots development, & conference realignment need to be addressed

Shorten the game to 40 minutes. The same as almost every other basketball league in the world.
It would reduce injuries and ad inventory. But it would increase ratings to compensate.

247 is the best in the game with hoops recruiting ... but all these reclassifications up and down grades makes this stuff pointless.
Be the trendsetter, start ranking by birth year instead of grade. Then there will be no movement of players.
Reclassification is likely to play a major role in shaping the 2028 basketball recruiting rankings 🏀
@ebosshoops explains why and goes in depth on which players could be eyeing 2027 moves 👀

The butter on your movie theater popcorn isn't butter. At most theaters the pump is filled with buttery topping, which is soybean oil, artificial butter flavor and beta carotene, the same pigment that makes carrots orange.
It can't be sold as butter. Federal law has defined butter since 1923. It has to be made from milk or cream, with nothing added but salt and color, and be at least 80% milkfat. That's why the jug the theater buys says buttery topping or butter flavored topping. Some brands also add TBHQ and citric acid to keep the oil from going rancid, and FDA caps TBHQ at 0.02% of the oil.
At a lot of theaters the popcorn is yellow before the topping ever touches it. Gold Medal's Flavacol popcorn salt goes in the kettle, and its ingredient list is salt, artificial flavor, Yellow 5 Lake and Yellow 6 Lake.
Some theaters do use real butter. Odell's sells theaters a real butter topping with the water and milk solids taken out, so it can ship without refrigeration.

Bayless Football improved to 2-1 on the season with an impressive win last night over Crystal City, 41-8. The Bronchos will look for their 3rd win of the season next Friday at our home opener against Perryville.

we, as a society, have fallen out of love with the process. everyone wants the reward, but nobody wants to bleed for it. you have to become addicted to the daily, unglamorous work of stacking bricks. you cannot bypass the ungodly toll it takes to become undeniable. fall in love with the relentless pursuit.

Major cheat code for life: Every pattern in your life repeats until you learn the lesson. The moment you choose differently, the loop ends and growth begins.
Go where you are celebrated not tolerated!
Reese Poffenbarger is one of the unluckiest QB’s in NCAA history.
Threw for 6,613 yards & 60 TD’s in 2 seasons at UAlbany.
Transferred to Miami to be QB1, Cam Ward withdrew from NFLD, transferred became starter.
Transferred to North Texas, 0 star Drew Mestemaker won the job, and then led the nation in passing yards…
Transferred to Akron, now it appears he is out of eligibility and will have transferred to 3 schools in 3 years & attempted 14 passes. Beyond brutal.

No matter what you do, you will be criticized for it. So the only question that matters is, “What is worth being criticized for?”
Then do that.
Thank you Lewis & Clark for stopping by and watching our guys workout today! @BaylessAD1
