I don’t know, I’m not feeling it for the Hawks this year (both times we won it I felt it, all year, FWIW). Something has seemed off since the Olympic break. Of course they have been dealing with injuries.
The Bruins are on fire, I’d peg them as the favorite to go all the way.
As for Cabrera, god damn! Odds are in 5 years they’ll be regretting it, has any team ever not regretted a mega-deal like this?
Anyway you can buy an island for a lot less than 300 mil

The bigger/nicer ones of course are much more expensive, they won’t even list the price for some of them. The most expensive they list is 160 mil for a whale shaped island east of Phucket, Thailand.

CHI: The Western Conference is stacked; that’s their biggest obstacle.
BOS: I’ll agree. Just hope they aren’t peaking too early.
Cabrera/MLB: 100% agree; these deals are albatrosses. The only one that I’d say came close to working out was Manny Ramirez, $160/8 years. Of course he took his “vitamins” and had a violent streak.
Islands: I’d be happy with a cabana on any of these islands.
