Good morning, Winners. Welcome to the Morning Win. Thanks a lot for studying at present.
Yo, man. What’s Dan Hurley’s downside? I’ve been making an attempt to determine what this dude is so mad about.
He’s teaching a back-to-back championship crew. He obtained a elevate this summer season, due to the Lakers. He’s at the moment in Maui, for goodness sake. Life sounds fairly good for that dude proper now.
But, for no matter purpose, he’s fully misplaced it in back-to-back video games on the Maui Invitational.
On Monday, Hurley fully value his crew with a late technical foul due to an outburst that gave Memphis a two-point lead that the Tigers by no means surrendered on their approach to a win.
On Tuesday towards Colorado, he did the identical factor however was fortunately held again by his coaches earlier than he may get a technical. UConn misplaced anyway. It won’t have been due to their coach, who couldn’t maintain his composure. However I’m not not going to say it was due to their coach, who couldn’t maintain his composure.
He’s all the time been an ornery and combative head coach, however come on. As the pinnacle coach of a school basketball crew, you’re imagined to be the grownup within the room. The gamers are imagined to look to Hurley for steerage, help and route in tight video games.
However there’s a stable likelihood that when you look over at UConn’s bench throughout a few of these essential occasions, you would possibly see a 51-year-old man throwing a tantrum like a six-year-old who didn’t get precisely what he needed on Christmas Day. It’s a troublesome look. And definitely one unbecoming of among the finest head coaches in faculty basketball.
There’s all the time room for ardour and emotion in sports activities. However there’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed. At the least not regularly, anyway. Each on occasion is cool. However Dan Hurley appears to be a ordinary line-stepper right here.
We’ve already seen it value his crew when the stakes are pretty low. So you possibly can solely think about what issues will probably be like when the video games matter most.
So the Dodgers truly can maintain getting away with this

The wealthy maintain getting richer.
The Dodgers have added two-time Cy Younger award winner Blake Snell to an already stacked pitching rotation that may embody Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow and Clayton Kershaw if he returns.
Of us. When 2024 Clayton Kershaw is perhaps the afterthought of your rotation, you realize the deck is stacked.
The Dodgers are constructing All-Star groups by way of deferred cash. Snell reportedly has round $62 million of his $182 million, five-year deal coming after the contract expires.
Meaning they’ve obtained deferred money going out to:
- Shohei Ohtani ($680 million)
- Freddie Freeman ($57 million)
- Mookie Betts ($115 million)
- Blake Snell ($62 million
- Will Smith ($50 million)
- Teoscar Hernandez ($8.5 million)
Of us, that’s $972.5 million in deferred money coming many years after these gamers end taking part in for LA. Practically a billion {dollars}! And the offseason is simply starting, so certainly, the Dodgers will cross that threshold sooner or later.
I’m not saying that is one thing MLB wants to vary, nevertheless it’s most likely price taking a look at when the subsequent CBA rolls round.
Mike McCarthy’s life raft
Obligatory Credit score: Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Photographs
It appears it won’t be curtains for Mike McCarthy in spite of everything? Jerry Jones instructed reporters on Tuesday that an extension for the Cowboys’ coach is just not out of the query.
Our Meg Corridor is looking that unserious.
“If you happen to’re a Cowboys fan, I counsel you look away now as a result of studying this would possibly infuriate you. All Eagles, Commanders and Giants followers, put together to have an excellent snigger as a result of what’s about to be shared is profoundly unserious conduct. On Tuesday, whereas talking on an area radio station, Jerry Jones revealed that giving Mike McCarthy an extension is just not one thing out of the realm of chance.
“I don’t assume that’s loopy in any respect,” Jones stated. “That’s not loopy. Mike McCarthy’s one excellent coach…It is a Tremendous Bowl-winning coach. Mike McCarthy has been there and finished that. He has nice concepts…We obtained lots of soccer left.” Positive, Jerry. Tell us how that works out. It’s high quality. It’s not like McCarthy isn’t 1-3 within the playoffs with the Cowboys, and his final Tremendous Bowl wasn’t 14 years in the past. HOW ‘BOUT DEM COWBOYS.”
Meg has a degree. McCarthy is form of skating by on previous glory proper now. It additionally appears fairly clear this crew doesn’t imagine in him anymore.
This looks like Jones is simply making an attempt to provide McCarthy a vote of confidence amid a misplaced season. However you realize what an actual vote of confidence can be? An precise contract extension.
Till that occurs, no one ought to imagine this.
