“If you read between the lines, we feel like they’re saying well, if Minnesota would have had a possession who knows what would have happened,” said Vilma, who lives in Miami and was playing in a friendly tennis match with world number two Caroline Wozniacki on Thursday at the Sony Ericsson Open.

“We don’t appreciate that. I don’t appreciate it at all.”

Seriously? lmao.. I get it. He needs to find anything, something! to get hype about during workouts in the offseason..

ashame he's looking soooo deep and between every little line, cause I can't take him seriously... at all.

Vilma needs to shut the hell up.

The rule change was not a slight on the Saints. There have been a lot of proponents to changing the OT rule. The Saints vs Vikings game just brought that arguement to a bigger stage.

This change was LONG overdue.

If the Saints would have beat the Panthers in OT for a playoff game, this board would explode with crybagging much like the Vikings did.

Maybe one day y'all might know what it's like to be WORLD CHAMPIONS.

Probably not.

As if the Vikings had beaten the Saints, the Saints fan wouldn't have been crying about it??? Don't be a douche.

This thread is about Vilma and the fact that this has NOTHING to do with the Saints/vikings OT game. The OT rules have needed a change for years.

That's a little naive. I say either team pulls it out in regulation this rule change never even gets mentioned at the owner's meeting.

People have been bitching to have the rule changed for years. The playoff game just put the issue on a much bigger stage.

It is no way was a slight on the Saints.

Naive? OK... I agree with MadHatter... it was a stupid setup for OT in a major professional sport, everybody knows it and has for years.

It created a situation where the playoff rules are different than regular season rules (something they still haven't quiet fixed) and it gave too much weight on the outcome of a coin toss.

At least they've watered down the effect of the coin toss now.

      Charlotte Hornets Offseason Moves

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic

      I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
