What’s Going On Used The Ralph Answers
- Updated: April 22, 2021
Hoo-Hoo-Who? Indiana fired head coach Archie Miller after he turned out to be a jughead, missing the tournament every year he could in Bloomington and going o-fer against Purdue. The obligatory phone call to Brad Stevens yielded nothing, because obviously. If you were starting an NBA team from scratch and could pick anyone in the league as the centerpiece, the obvious choice would be Jayson Tatum. Stevens not only gets to coach him in Boston, but also rising star Jaylen Brown. Asking him to leave that situation for the tire fire that is Indiana basketball was always going to be a tough pull. We now have an answer on just how badly Stevens didn’t want to be the IU coach, and it’s $6.33 million per year’s worth.
Brad Stevens was offered a 7 year, $70M contract to become the next head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers, per Woj
Brad Stevens turned it down.

After Stevens turned down the Hoosiers, they turned their attention to anyone with connections to the program, no doubt looking at Michigan and the success they’ve had with Juwan Howard. After what I’m assuming had to be dozens of “no”s from other candidates, the Hoosiers hired Mike Woodson. When Michigan hired Juwan Howard, he was a rising name in the coaching ranks who’s spoken glowingly of by guys like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade and would likely be an NBA head coach by now and while he hadn’t recruited before, he did have two kids playing AAU ball, so he was familiar with the process. Mike Woodson has none of those things going for him, but he is the subject of a popular meme, so there’s that.
Coincidentally, that’s the face most IU fans made when they found out they were hiring Mike Woodson. This after they had to come up with $10 million to get rid of Archie Miller.
There’s an episode of “The Simpsons” where Lisa gets an F on a test. Or so she thought…
Mike Woodson is a Ralph answer. To be fair, when Woodson was hired, star big Trayce Jackson-Davis was on the fence about going pro and everyone else on campus short of the Herman Wells statue was in the transfer portal. and since, not only have both of those issue broken the Hoosiers’ way, but they landed a commitment from 4* G Tamar Bates. Still, the ceiling here seems really low.
Open mouth, insert foot.

Putting aside the obvious retort about people not always being able to afford games at launch and having to stretch their dollars, there’s still the issues of games not being finished products at launch. Every year, I pre-order Madden and every year at launch, there’s some ridiculous bug that EA has to fix. This year, it was an issue where the menus took roughly a week and a half to navigate. This year’s screw-up was particularly galling, as not only did the game launch later than in years past, but content in Ultimate Team slowed to a trickle around March of last year. You can only blame the pandemic for so much.
CFL on. Probably. The CFL plans to play in 2021:
The Canadian Football League has announced a plan to cut its 2021 regular season from 18 to 14 games, while moving its start date back nearly two months from June 10 to Aug. 5.
The Grey Cup, originally scheduled for Nov. 21 in Hamilton, is now slated to be played on Dec. 12.
While a target date to resume play is a welcome bit of clarity for the CFL’s various stakeholders, the league stopped short of committing to play without governments lifting restrictions on fans attending games.
The CFL is still largely a gate league, so playing without fans like the NFL did isn’t really an option.
The CFL has received at least verbal approval of its return-to-play protocol from four of the six provinces in which it plays, with Ontario and Quebec as the exceptions. That isn’t expected to be an issue once the third wave subsides.
But the issue of fans in stands remains a potential hurdle. If restrictions on fans in stands are lifted in Western Canada sooner than in Eastern Canada, the league is prepared to relocate early-season games to the west.
While this isn’t a guarantee that the CFL is going to play, it’s a very positive sign. It’s also a positive sign that college and pro stadiums in the U.S. should be able to be full in the fall, as the U.S. vaccine rollout has been ahead of Canada’s.
New rules. Approved rule changes in the NFL:

Nothing major, but there was a fun one:
Under the new rule, players will be able to wear …
Defensive backs: 1–49
Running backs, full backs, tight ends, H-backs, and wide receivers: 1–49 and 80-89
Offensive linemen: 50–79;
Defensive linemen: 50–79 and 90–99;
Linebackers: 1–59 and 90–99. https://t.co/EhTnOVX7RJ

Frankly, this is overdue. If college and the CFL can be liberal in regards to jersey numbers, why not the NFL? Shoutout to the Chiefs for this one.
Why? Just…why?

Kind of ironic that the serious fight’s going to be on Triller and the ridiculous sideshow’s going to be on Showtime. If both Floyd and De La Hoya insist upon coming out of retirement for idiotic spectacles, why not just book that rematch and be done with it?
Here it is, your moment of zen.
