Maybe a better idea, if the Cardinals ever sign a player to a big free agent contract, we could get him to fund BVF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are Billikens also popular? Japan. Where is Ohtani from? Japan. It's almost too easy. CenHudDude likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be like the Taylor Swift effect in the NFL only for 35-55 year old female Billiken fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Ohtani will earn over the ten year period (I said earn not get paid. i understand the Dodgers are putting some of the money to be paid later years like bonilla i guess) but his earnings will amount to about $2.20 a second. however will he live on that?

billikenbill Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Did a little bit of a dive into the second half stats and the numbers show there was a high level of basketball being played by both teams in that half. Now whether these are actually good teams or not remains to be seen, but whatever level they’re at provided some entertaing hoops. The numbers are:: Pts./poss. - SLU 1.31, Hofstra 1.16, excellent compared to a national average of 1.05. 2 pt. FG - SLU 5-13, 38.5%, Hofstra 9-18 - 50% 3pt. FG - 8-14, 57.1%, 4-10, 40% Turnovers - both with 5, for a TO rate of 15.6% which is excellent. Can’t count on that type of 3 pt. shooting and, as TheWiz has pointed out, the 2pt. shooting has to improve. Problem is with the absence of a true post player as Bruce isn’t there yet, and no one able to create their own shot, there may not be a solution to it.

They're deferring $680 million (of the $700 million). It costs about $250,000 to open a Domino's franchise. I have it, on good authority, that Shohei is planning on opening 2,720 Domino's locations, in the next 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton is on a lot of the Papa John's commercials and he got paid with franchises. I'm willing to guess Shaq is too. It's a thing. Maybe we can get our next coach a Lion's Choice franchise in Afton.
