Hi there, winners! Welcome to Morning Win. Thanks a lot for taking part in with us at present. We recognize you.
First, earlier than I utterly roast these guys, let me congratulate the Milwaukee Bucks on successful the NBA Cup on Tuesday night time. It is a good time. A complement $500,000 in your pocket sounds extraordinarily good.
THE BUCKS received all the pieces: Milwaukee celebrates its NBA Cup victory, in images
However here is the issue. The Bucks refused to drink champagne after their victory and I am unable to assist however giggle about it.
The NBA meticulously deliberate all of this for Milwaukee, but it surely went untouched. These bottles are gathering mud, child. Take away that plastic. No bottles will likely be popped tonight – no less than, not within the locker room. When the Bucks hit the Strip final night time, their music most likely modified.
The staff did not let up as a result of they wished to remain centered on the remainder of the common season. They did this on the request of Darvin Ham, Chris Haynes experiences.
Guys. DARVIN HAM.
Now let me put some respect on this man’s title. In any case, he and Taurean Prince are the one two folks on this planet to go undefeated in two consecutive NBA Cup tournaments.
However it’s simply objectively humorous. Simply the considered Doc Rivers telling Chris Haynes that Ham advised him the Bucks should not drink champagne, so the Bucks determined to not, sends me to the moon.
We’re speaking about the identical Darvin Ham, proper? Boy, you are in Milwaukee for a purpose.
Now Ham is a good coach. However I am positive the Lakers’ resolution to not pop the champagne after successful the NBA Cup most likely had nothing to do with their relative success final yr.
Doc Rivers is a greater man than me. As a result of what if Ham advised me to not pop the champagne? Give me a bottle immediately. If I do this, the Nuggets might need mercy this time.
Hear, I perceive. Athletes are superstitious. Ingesting champagne after an everyday season match would most likely be slightly bizarre.
However guys. Come on. There is no must be so bizarre about it. Give these rookies and two-way guys one thing to recollect. Allow them to have slightly enjoyable. A few of them merely doubled their salaries! Somebody goes to purchase a home tomorrow due to this!
It’s successful price celebrating. Cease being tacky and rejoice it.
Settle down, Kirk Cousins down
Getting demoted in your break day should suck. Kirk Cousins can inform us something.
The Falcons named rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. because the staff’s starter for the rest of the season after one other stinker from Cousins in Atlanta’s win over the Raiders.
It is not usually you see a staff change QBs after a win. However you would be hard-pressed to seek out anybody who would not assume it is the proper resolution.
Our Cory Woodroof has extra on what made the top of the Cousins period in Atlanta simpler.
It will do it, associates. This man would not look good anymore. There’s potential for ahead buying and selling. Cousins might discover himself a brand new residence.
However, man. He’s 37 years previous. Possibly it is time to dangle them up, Kirk.
Mike Vick’s huge transfer
The NFL legend has risen via the teaching ranks to a reasonably implausible job. After some confusion over the previous few days, information lastly broke that Michael Vick could be heading to Norfolk State as the pinnacle coach of the HBCU soccer staff.
Our Mitchell Northam delved deeper into why this occurs rather more than simply hiring a star coach which it is best to verify.
Hiring Vick might save the NSU soccer program completely:
“Now, on this altering faculty soccer panorama, Norfolk State has turned to a hometown hero and large title who is aware of a factor or two about soccer, which might assist it drum up some goodwill and accumulating zero contributions to maintain this system afloat.
If Vick can shortly flip Norfolk State right into a winner, it might symbolize an amazing feel-good story for Vick and his legacy, Norfolk State and Hampton Roads, and all of faculty soccer.
And if Vick is as profitable as Deion at Jackson State, it should solely warmth up Brent Pry’s seat in Blacksburg. If Vick’s Spartans have extra W’s than Pry’s Hokies subsequent season, count on their resumes to be in contrast and count on the oldsters in Blacksburg to name for a distinct sort of return to the home. »
I hope Vick succeeds at Norfolk State, and I hope his tenure there lasts a protracted, very long time. Seeing a superb head coach keep at an HBCU for a minute could be good.
