Big news tonight is the Oklahoma Thunder have traded James Harden and a few other role players for Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb and draft picks. This comes as no suprise as they just didn't have the funds to pay Harden what he is worth.]]> 15662 Wed, 13 May 2026 13:09:56 +0000 http://8thmaxim.com/forum/index.php?threads/random-college-football-thread.13354/ http://8thmaxim.com/forum/index.php?threads/random-college-football-thread.13354/ invalid@example.com (zero-sum) zero-sum 36084 Sun, 10 May 2026 17:00:03 +0000 http://8thmaxim.com/forum/index.php?threads/golf.60/ http://8thmaxim.com/forum/index.php?threads/golf.60/ invalid@example.com (The Dooz) The Dooz

Seahawks look like they are going to continue where they left off. I think the 49ers are in deep trouble defensively. Bradford finally looks good for the Rams.

In regards to the discussion about elite athletes going into other sports in America and the effect on soccer in the United States, I’ll first make it clear that I obviously do think having more elite athletes playing soccer would be beneficial. Having a larger talent pool to choose from would no doubt improve things. I actually used to...

Right now, they are in a hearing related simply to a protection order she has filed against him. Here is yesterday's summary and then today to lunch. I believe they have just reconvened.

1) root against Arkansas State and laugh at their failure
2) root against transfers who only came for the bag and bolted immediately
3) root for individual success for other transfers, but still think it's funny when their teams lose
4) except JG, because it's inevitable and it will be funny

I'm open for suggestions on the rules, though #1 is more of a commandment than a rule. #2 and #3 are pretty fluid, for instance.]]> 544 Wed, 31 Dec 2025 17:36:07 +0000 http://8thmaxim.com/forum/index.php?threads/official-2018-8th-maxim-fantasy-football-league-thread.13611/ http://8thmaxim.com/forum/index.php?threads/official-2018-8th-maxim-fantasy-football-league-thread.13611/ invalid@example.com (rbroyles) rbroyles
Once again it is a twelve team league with a live draft scheduled on Aug. 30 at 7:30pm EST.

I have set a deadline for renewal on Aug 15, so if you were not a team owner in 2014, you can PM me with your email...

That said, as I watch the US Championships, I'm really liking the future of the American athletes on the track, particularly on the men's sprint side. I think we might take back that momentum from the Bolt led Jamaican Golden Age. UT's own Christian Coleman may even bring us another 100m title. In fact, I would be surprised if he didn't in a month....

I give you, the mighty Chicago Cubs, two time world series champions!

What is sad, our new manager's resume is going 1-2 as Mexico's manager in the 2013 World Baseball Classic, losing to mighty Italy and Canada, but beating the USA (go figure).

Told my brother who we hired and he goes "Who?"]]> 913
