My kids will tell you I really do not like (bordering on hate) James Harden and LeBron. James Harden because I hate his foul baiting and play style and doesn't have success in the playoffs because he doesn't get those calls. LeBron because his stupid "decision" show and that I feel he wouldn't be as successful in the 80s because he is mentally weaker and I think some of the 80s guys would eat him alive, even though he is physically better than any 80s player.
Totally agree with you on Harden. He believes that he's the best player on the court, but only complains when he doesn't get fouls that he thinks he deserves. I'm not a LeBron fan, but, unlike Harden, more often than not, he IS the best player on the court. Hard not to admire that a little.
The Las Vegas Raiders are hosting the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Here is everything to need to know about the game:
First quarter
The Raiders won the coin toss and deferred to the second half.
Dallas got the ball and went three and out. Las Vegas’ defense is good to start games. For some reason both Dallas’ standout wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were not on the field for the opening drive. Reportedly, it was a coach’s decision.
The California baseball team unveiled its 2026 schedule Monday, announcing a 54-game slate that features 28 home games to be played at Stu Gordon Stadium.
California freshman point guard Puff Morris was named the ACC Rookie of the Week following her standout performances during games between Nov. 10-16, the conference office announced Monday. The weekly award is voted on by the ACC's Blue Ribbon panel made up of local media associated with each of the conference's member institutions.
The California men's tennis team has three student-athletes at the NCAA Singles & Doubles Championships at the UTSA National Campus in Orlando, Florida. The tournament, which begins Tuesday, will have a 64-man singles draw and 32-pair doubles draw.
Sophomore Fryderyk Lechno-Wasiutynski was the first Golden Bear to qualify for the NCAA Championships after reaching the final at the ITA Regionals in October. Lechno-Wasiutynski has shined this fall so far with a 9-1 collegiate singles record, with two wins over ranked opponents. This will be his first appearance at the NCAA Championships. Lechno-Wasiutynski will take on Mississippi State's Benito Sanchez Martinez, who is 11th-ranked in the country, in the opening round Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. PT.

CeeDee needed to stay seated. He cost me my perfect record in fantasy.
