Monday Night Open Thread

Pretty interesting anecdote from John Harper over the weekend: Brian Cashman recently spent two days with the San Antonio Spurs, observing the way they run their organization. “I’m always looking to learn about the way other organizations do things. The Spurs were on my bucket list because they’ve been so successful,” said Cashman, who has also visited the Boston Celtics, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Red Bulls, and even the New Zealand national rugby team over the years. The sports are different, but some of the concepts are the same (analytics, performance science, medicals, etc.), so it’s a learning experience. Neat stuff.

Anywho, here is tonight’s open thread. None of the hockey locals are playing this evening and the NBA is still in their All-Star break, so you’ve got college basketball and nothing else tonight. Talk about those games, Cashman visiting the Spurs, being only a few days away from pitchers and catchers reporting, or anything else right here.
