My HOF* CB excuse me

#

Yeah 7 on the dot

#

Gonna be 8 once Indy overdrafts Levis

dim kettle
#

Ronde, Brooks, and Simeon Rice were the only ones on defense from that 2002 SB run I saw play for the Bucs. And 2 are now in the HOF.

Only one left is Simeon Rice which he's always gonna be accused of only benefitting from also having Warren Sapp on that line.

smoky fable
#

That’s a mistake

rustic ore
#

Neither do I, which is why it’s gonna be funny clowning on whoever overdrafts him

smoky fable
#

A foolish team who thinks they can coach him up

#

Their loss

dim kettle
#

Levis can be okay. But the media just think like none of the GMs are thinking about picking him over CJ.

rustic ore
#

Which is silly

#

CJ>>>>>>>>>Levis

#

And it ain’t close

dim kettle
#

They shouldn't. But you know some GMs are thinking about it though.

rustic ore
#

Indeed

#

Especially desperate ones

Said it before, if a team knows how to develop him, Anthony Richardson will be the best QB out of this draft.

But it’s their loss

#

Which I personally hope is NYG

dim kettle
#

I'm still convinced Bryce Young is only number one QB off the board because the media has been hyping him up as one instead of what he really brings. He can make things happen on the fly, but the dude has mid arm strength.

How did Geno smith get an mvp vote before russ did RogerLaugh

smoky fable
#

Stroud or richardson would be ones I'd bet on

dim kettle
#

It's funny though, because I compare him to a Deshaun Watson. So if the Texans are the ones to trade up, they're basically getting another Deshaun Watson minus all the drama.

rustic ore
#

That doesn’t sound right

#

Like he’s never had an MVP caliber season before but he came close to that kind of production at times

#

Would’ve figured he’d have gotten at least 1

dawn tapir

#

Wtf lol

#

Rigged

#

I don’t like him but still that’s insane

dim kettle
#

Not even in 2019?

#

Lamar got all 50

dawn tapir
rustic ore
dim kettle
#

Well, to be honest, Russ was always one of those QBs could create amazing plays on the fly and then the next second he'd make some of the worst throws you'd ever seen. But at least Josh Allen got one vote this year. Russ at his best got none.

Probably the most elusive player in NFL history

smoky fable
#

yep

#

Know that’s subjective AF but man the way he made people look silly

#

That TD run against Dallas where he literally had a Cowboys player looking all around for him is an all timer moment

#

So funny

#

Bo Jackson probably would've been the best RB around if he didn't break his hip.

As much as I love Barry Sanders highlights. The dude was always known for losing yardage consistently. Seems like the best RBs you remember had one big flaw. Peterson had a problem fumbling the ball for example.

Walter Payton

#

Daboll got COTY

#

I’m a happy man

dawn tapir
#

Do you know the best QBs to never make the pro bowl is? imo it's Joe flacco, Craig Morton, Jim plunkett, and Steve Grogan.

rustic ore
#

Oh Joe, wins SB MVP but never gets to the Pro Bowl 330

dim kettle
#

Chad Pennington would be another one I can recall.

#

Jeff George never played in one either.

dawn tapir
#

Also shoutout to Ryan Fitzpatrick. Never was a pro bowl nor made the playoffs but was a starter for multiple teams for many years even until he was forced to retire from injury. There's a reason his nickname is Fitzmagic and Fitztragic and even Fitzception.

Okay now that’s just dumb lol

Dame has done enough there to be respected.

#

College ball is significantly worse than the nba

dim kettle
#

Just move on already.

celest zephyr
#

Facts

calm mulch
#

Tanking for me is the lamest aspect of the NBA, the league is already stacked with money and talent, just open a second division so teams have to work to the bitter end so they don't get kicked down below to the second division

celest zephyr
#

That would be insanely difficult

calm mulch
#

it would

celest zephyr
#

There just isn’t the talent pool or the resources to do that

calm mulch
#

but it would make it more competitive

#

Many people don't watch the regular season because of that

celest zephyr
#

But still wouldn’t it just be cycling more fringe nba teams

dim kettle
#

Granted, there's many reasons why many people think the regular season doesn't matter anymore. Lack of genuine rivalries for example.

calm mulch
celest zephyr
#

Also its just long

calm mulch
celest zephyr
#

Paying attention to 82 games for 30 teams is a ton of work

calm mulch
#

i think with more basketball players around the world coming to the NBA we will soon have enough talent to have a second division

celest zephyr
#

It is but like there aren’t that many guys close to that level that aren’t in the nba

#

Or in the g league or another professional league

dim kettle
#

Still think the lottery is a joke. Getting the first pick doesn't automatically guarantee you the best player in the draft and only pushes teams to tank more for the chance to get it next time.

calm mulch
#

I mean it's not impossible, i just wanna get rid of tanking, it's so sad to watch your city playing like trash just to get Wemby

celest zephyr
#

Another thing that allows soccer to do it is how integrated the top teams are

#

They have insane levels of feeder systems

dawn tapir
celest zephyr
#

It’s also more rĆ©gions de

#

Regionized

calm mulch
celest zephyr
#

Like to ask someone to come from half way across the world just for the end goal to maybe make a fringe league

#

Yeah basketball is big but soccer is levels bigger

calm mulch
#

and the other thing is that people really cheer for their city in a religious level in soccer, so they don't care about the "fringe" part

dim kettle
#

The modern game can also be very boring to watch at times. One moment there's a lot of points scored and then the next second a bunch of bricks back and forth.

celest zephyr
#

Yeah for sure it just isn’t the same in the nba

#

Plus players from a young age go into soccer clubs feeder systems

#

Nba teams can’t take talent that hasn’t gone to college or at least done high school

calm mulch
celest zephyr
#

If you can only get players when they are 17 or 18 at the earliest then its hard

calm mulch
dim kettle
#

There's also the lack of real defense in the game, You can't have a personally on the court now without getting a technical

calm mulch
#

Bro there is like godlevel talent in the Premier League right now and that started playing with 16yo

celest zephyr
#

It’s also cuz people go through aau and high school and college

#

Before being able to

#

Whereas people can join a club’s lower ranks at a lot younger age

#

And teams even scout for guys at that level

calm mulch
#

Messi was like doing 3 goals a match in Barcelona when bro was 17yo

celest zephyr
#

No nba team is scouting guys at like 16

calm mulch
#

i mean yeah

#

that is the problem

celest zephyr
#

Yeah for sure

calm mulch
#

For me the NBA right now is getting to a point that is too close to a show rather than a sport

celest zephyr
#

Oh 100%

#

It’s a drama more than a sport

calm mulch
#

We need to introduce more competition to the game

celest zephyr
#

It’s not that its too individual based

dim kettle
#

Still think a lot of these draft picks in the NBA would benefit playing in college for a few years and work on their stuff and when they're picked they have a higher chance of changing a team's fate over night.

celest zephyr
#

Facts

calm mulch
#

If more is invested into Basketball culture for a couple of years then we might have enough talent to get a second division and then introduce relegation so teams can't just willingly lose (+ their fans would be more passionate with a stronger culture)

celest zephyr
#

Aau needs to also turn it down

#

Young players play way too many games

calm mulch
celest zephyr
#

Ad at least made it to the league

calm mulch
#

They playing so hard that their bones turn into dust

celest zephyr
#

So many guys just break down before they even make it there

#

Or soon after

#

Like Lonzo

#

Dude fell apart after like 4 years

calm mulch
#

That's the thing though, college ball is in some ways way more demanding than the NBA (especially when people are younger so comparatively they work harder)

celest zephyr
#

Also less resources for a lot of guys

#

Plus huge variance in nutrition and effective training

fickle peak
#

basketball is one of my least favorite sports to watch tbh

calm mulch
#

The NBA is too stacked right now so not really many spots for people so unless you put ungodly amount of work you risk not making it

dim kettle
#

I really do feel for a lot of young basketball players. Because unlike a 19 year old in hockey or baseball. A 19 year old basketball player picked with a lottery pick has so much more pressure put on them to change an organization's fate as soon as possible and a lot of these guys at that age cannot handle both that and the money that comes with it.

celest zephyr
#

It’s fun to play. Kinda boring to watch if you aren’t focusing on a specific player or team

calm mulch
fickle peak
#

you dont get as excited when a team score in basketball as you do when theres a touchdown, a goal, or a homerun

celest zephyr
#

And mark Cuban getting bailed out by Luka and dirk

#

Well Tbf that’s just scoring a lot

#

That’s just part of the game

calm mulch
dim kettle
#

I enjoy the NBA, I just can't watch a lot of it because of time and the NHL also plays along side it and I'd pick my favorite sport over the NBA anytime.

celest zephyr
#

There’s still dunks and crazy 3 pointers

#

And fadeaway

#

And blocks and steals

fickle peak
#

yeah cool plays and all, all sports have that too

calm mulch
#

In football and soccer good young talents can develop their game in a much more calmer fashion

celest zephyr
#

Yeah i know its just the nature of the sport

#

The nba would be boring af if it had similar scores to football

fickle peak
#

yeah, i do enjoy playing basketball, i played for 3 years in elementary-middle school

calm mulch
#

The NBA expects the draft picks to hit the ground running

dim kettle
#

But from an outsider like myself, I can even tell the defense in the NBA is really bad. I can't get over that fact.

fickle peak
#

its just a bit boring to watch

celest zephyr
#

Yeah it is lol

#

But for me its more too many 3s

#

And so much just scoring or hoping guys miss shots

#

Another thing is nba defense rules suck

#

They favour offensive players

calm mulch
dim kettle
#

Basketball has the same issues baseball has now where there's a lot of homeruns one sec, the rest is just boring strike outs because everyone wants to hit the big one

celest zephyr
#

Yeh

calm mulch
#

i used to hate American Football but now that i've been focusing on understanding the game i see it's a huge chess match

#

like infinite possibilities to attack and so much adapting and details going on

celest zephyr
#

Basketball is fun its just infuriating at times

#

Watching guys jack up 3s and forget what defense is

My dad is a psycho fan of Formula 1, bro cannot handle a sunday without watching the cars going into circles for 80+ reps

Funny circles

#

NASCAR is more circles tbh

#

Or indycar

#

There’s no like speedways in f1

dim kettle
#

Hey now, they're not circles...

They're ovals.

calm mulch

And f1 tracks aren’t circles either lol

So still a round geometric shape

Close enough

#

Yeah, I can't get over how F1 cars are made out of paper mache.

celest zephyr
#

Too much aero

calm mulch
celest zephyr
#

Pretty much yeah

#

They are heavy af now but still lighter than NASCAR cars

calm mulch
#

but the thing is usually Mercedes wins it all because they have the best pilot in modern history + their engineering team is much better so they always have the better car

#
  • they backed by oil companies
celest zephyr
#

NASCAR cars are like faster bumper cars lmao

#

F1 is getting a lot popular now. One day maybe for me, but I like my NASCAR a lot more still.

celest zephyr
#

Max and Red Bull on a roll though

calm mulch
celest zephyr
#

At least until 2026 don’t see them being stopped

#

Fernando saying Lewis can only drive at the front lol

calm mulch
#

Max didn't have the best car and still won, but everyone hates him currently, he is the big villain for Formula 1

#

Cuz he bumped the crowd favorite Lewis Hamilton

celest zephyr
#

Looks like Red Bull are the team to beat now

#

Also Abu Dhabi was ahem a shitshow

#

Plus ngl max does do some wacky shit

calm mulch
#

Max is the villain bro i'm telling you lmao

celest zephyr
#

Obv Lewis ain’t clean but some of the stuff max does yikes

#

Oh he is for sure

#

Didn’t even move over for checo

calm mulch
#

some months ago he touched a car and got fined 5 million because he was "looking for intel on the technology"

#

just by TOUCHING THE OTHER CAR

celest zephyr
#

Oh the rear wing thing lol

calm mulch
#

Formula 1 has drama but ain't Nascar level of drama

#

not even close

celest zephyr
#

NASCAR is just too close racing wise

#

Plus its more physical than f1 or indycar

#

You bump and spin other cars all the time

calm mulch
#

You can't be really that physical in Formula 1 cuz 3 bumps and you out of the race

celest zephyr
#

More like 1

#

Run into another car and sometimes race over

calm mulch
#

sometimes 1 bump is enough indeed

celest zephyr
#

One big curb and car done

calm mulch
#

I just get surprised by the amount of money that sport has

#

Bro when there is multiple oil companies on the game you realize many billions get tossed into those flimsy cars

Quick question just to get a general idea of what the consensus is here in #sports . Who is the basketball goat?

it's probably Jordan

MJ no debate

Jordan

Other guys are arguable though

Like Kareem Shaq bron

celest zephyr

Refs you suck

#

@rustic mountain leafs up 3-0

#

Actually not choking to inferior competition

#

Tbh with eras its hard to say

#

Like bron best this era, Jordan best in his era, Kareem best in his

#

Then probably Russell, though maybe wilt

dim kettle
#

There's always gonna be arguments about it. Arguments I can't really go too in depth with because I don't watch enough the sport to know what I'm talking about. lol. But MJ had Scottie and LeBron had a superteam in Miami and faced the pathetic east in the 2017-18 playoffs. But I still think MJ had better competition than LeBron ever faced in the east.

celest zephyr
#

2015 2016 prob bron’s best ring

He didn’t win in 2018

#

Le Bron is more longevity tbh

dim kettle
#

I know, just using it as an example of how much easier it was for LeBron to get a title series.

celest zephyr
#

Like Jordan when he played is better

#

But like bron has more elite years than Jordan’s entire career

Not the best player period

Bro

robust grotto
#

Literally every single sport is competitive that’s the point

dense stag
#

Yes

robust grotto
#

No one pro sport is more competitive than the other

dense stag
#

But football is the most competitive worldwide

robust grotto
#

Just because there’s more competitions

#

Doesn’t make it more competitive, they’re all equal. It’s a professional setting you know?

dense stag
#

People start at 5 yo all around the world to become football players

#

No one starts playing golf at 5 years old

robust grotto
#

Nah not true at all. It’s just different because a lot of these sports take money to get into

dense stag
#

there being an absurd amount of people trying to go pro and be the best from the very beginning

robust grotto
#

Ofc nothing is like football and basketball with accessibility

#

But there are 5 year olds all over North America and Europe playing hockey too

dense stag
#

Exactly

#

North America and Europe

#

You said

#

It

#

Not the whole world

robust grotto
#

Sure

dense stag
#

It's quite simple really

#

It doesn't make it better

#

It's just a fact

robust grotto
#

Sure, but I just don’t understand why it’s not as competitive? Just because more people have a chance to play? That just means there are more people who can play, period

#

There’s also more football clubs than any other sport so wouldn’t it be technically ā€œeasierā€ to be a footballer than any other type of athlete

#

I can def understand what you mean though

#

With Messi / football being an another scale since it’s world wide

dense stag
#

I'm struggling to put it into words but

robust grotto
#

But you’d at least have to admit that sports like hockey and basketball would be on the same level no?

dense stag
#

If you have hundreds of millions of people trying to go pro, training, learning, sleeping well, going to the gym, dieting, from 5 year olds of age, all over the world, and they can't even make it in their national league...

dense stag
#

Basketball more so than Hockey tho

robust grotto
#

just not that same bc of the amount of people

dense stag
#

And because of the culture

robust grotto
#

How ?! NBA has lesser nationalities than NHL does

dense stag
#

People aren't born all over the world with a puck and a stick on their hands and feet

robust grotto
#

NHL is a more diverse world wide league than the NBA

dense stag
#

But people in Uruguay, Argentina, Brasil, etc turn 2 years old learn to somewhat walk and their first gift is a football

robust grotto
#

True those are the 2 most accessible without debate

#

But there are plenty of Canadians, Swedes, Russians, Czechs who skate at 2/3 years old

#

I skated at 3 years old

#

I know what you mean cause you’re right about a lot

#

Don’t mean to be rude here lol

dense stag
#

I don't see rudeness lol

#

Didn't know yall started skating at 2/3 that's crazy

#

And really cool

#

Still again that's a minor scale

#

Basketball is played by more people

robust grotto
#

No debate you can’t compare the numbers

#

Basketball and football numbers wise are just the most played period

#

I won’t argue that

dense stag
#

It's so strange to find someone who won't argue with just feelings in this server UsoppGrief

I love all sports man; and we’re all sports fans here so it’s all love. We just like different things but have a common ground in fandom you know?

dense stag

I feel ya

robust grotto

I’m from the US but my whole family is in Slovakia

#

Grew up with everything hockey

#

Was lucky enough to see Gretzky once

dense stag
#

Damn

robust grotto
#

I like to travel to other places to watch too

dense stag
#

I've been to one hockey match... when I was in the states

#

But I was like 12 years old, I only remember so much

#

I'm from Uruguay, and grew up playing football, basketball, tennis and rugby

#

Not all of them at the same time LUL

#

But Football and Basketball were always there

robust grotto
#

A lot of people from my town are from Uruguay

dense stag
#

What position?

celesteeeeeeee chants all night lmfao . Everyone has Penarol flags here

I’ll have to run that by a close friend before I say that at a bar šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Lmaoooo

Nah don't say that

#

The more crazy fans will start a fight over that

robust grotto

dense stag
#

Have you ever heard the word "gringo"

robust grotto
#

Ofc

dense stag
#

Bro

#

I'm deadass smiling rn

#

If you want them to hype ya up

#

You should scream something like: "Manya campeón del siglo papÔ"

#

Which basically means:
Champion of the century
[Which was awarded to PeƱarol]

robust grotto
#

Do you support them too? Lmaoo

#

I’m not joking man I have a friend on this server who will back me up. People hang the team flags on their cars and outside their houses. You would think PeƱarol has these guys to a gunpoint šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

robust grotto
#

You have family in the states??

dense stag
#

No

robust grotto
#

True

dense stag

But I've been there a few times

robust grotto
#

NJ is where I’m at

dense stag
#

Oh

#

Nice

#

I spent 2 weeks in New Jersey actually

robust grotto
#

That’s why I brought it up lmao

#

Figured you did

dense stag
#

LMAO

robust grotto
#

This area just naturally is a starting point for a lot of people and Newark area has a huuuuge South American population

#

Nice man, hope you enjoyed. I know it can be crazy here

dense stag
#

Didn't know that

#

Tbh I just went there because I was traveling around the US and the prices happened to be good at the time QueenKEKW

#

But tbh

#

In my experience

#

New Jersey > New York

#

[Granted I was only there visiting for 2 weeks]

#

I would 100% live in NJ

#

From the little Ive seen... people who say NY is better are being held hostage

robust grotto
#

Hahaha fair!! NY is a huge state but it’s split into so many parts, the city is its own bubble really. North Jersey especially is something else man lol I’m grateful I grew up here ,close to NYC ,and close with so many other cultures and people

Oh the skating thing yeah

Plenty of people skate at a young age

We should win vs Wolves

There's no doubt about it

At this point we might reverse 9-0 Liverpool šŸ’€

Ok no

Wolves and then city...

Then arsenal

Then Liverpool

#

Yo?

that's a rough schedule

Then Villa and Fulham

Villa only one which we should 100% win with tihs team

short flame

just be scared of duran otherwise you can win

hasty basin
#

It's gonna be hard to deal with their crossing

#
  • they are just like a solid solid team
short flame
#

but you have good centre backs

hasty basin
#

They were good this game

#

But our very obvious weak spot was pointed out

#

Our fullbacks

short flame
#

and we're 5-2 down, another bad attempt from our keeper

hasty basin
#

Oof

short flame
#

I can't handle this guy anymore

#

he's too bad

#

go for fabra in the summer, really good fullback

hasty basin
#

He'd be better than Vina atleast

short flame
#

he'd be one of the best in the league

#

just worried for his defensive duties

#

but he can cross

hasty basin
#

Good if Moore is on the pitch

#

(Not likely)

and 6-2

#

even tofofo scored against us, what a shit game

#

and 7

On a wraparound tip and score. So good.

their 2 match-ups with city will be huge

#

also club world cup is somewhat pointless lmao, european teams always win it really.

#

madrid crushing their opponent

hasty basin

They made arsenal play their own game

#

Which is a lot of crossing

#

And they were able to deal with that easier

tbf al hilal or whatever put up a decent fight

if they lose on 15

they might be tied

Craig can’t play two in a row

Welp just trade him I guess

So we play a guy that can’t stop a goal if his life depended on it

celest zephyr
#

For a decent backup shouldn’t be that hard

short flame
#

When he plays we can have calm at the back

#

When it’s the 2 others we need to score 6 goals to hope for a win

#

We’re waiting for a teenager that doesn’t even want to play here, this team isn’t making the playoffs unless we sign a keeper

celest zephyr
#

Try getting someone like lindgren or desmith

short flame
#

We should

#

Adams wants to develop

celest zephyr
#

Yeah that’s not a good idea when you can’t for shit

short flame
#

But the guy we’re developing can’t stop a shot

#

He lets in a minimum of 5 goals per game

celest zephyr
#

Yeah that’s tough

short flame
#

Worse part is he won rookie of the month, fuck the nhl board that gave him that title

#

Not deserved at all

celest zephyr
#

Rookie of the month means nothing

#

Sometimes they also just give it for winning games

#

Even if the guy didn’t actually do that well

short flame
#

We won games like 6-4 and the keeper gets the prize

sweet tree

they really wanna expand this to 32 teams, lol.

His counter attack football was bested

everyone adapted

now he can't do the same

Yeah the game keeps adapting and evolving, at some point the teams that bested him will themselves be bested and so on

calm mulch
#

He doesn't seem like he wants to step down though

#

Knowing how he is there might be something in the smoke

#

But maybe he is just another coach sullying his amazing career by the cost of his players

#

And it's not like Liverpool is that bad, they are in the middle of the pack

#

But for a team that did what they did in the last couple years it is as bad as relegation to be that down below
