Incentives could change year by year cap hit but barring that it stays the same

#

That’s also why extending young players is so valuable in the nhl

#

Cuz if they outperform it then they will give amazing value for that cap hit

#

And why teams really want to give longer term deals: to drop the cap hit and have the player for longer

#

@rustic mountain like look at jarnkrok and reilly’s cap hits

rustic mountain
#

Either way

#

I think the Caulfield deal is a good one

#

I think he and Suzuki are primed to do well with each other

celest zephyr
#

I think its ballsy but it’ll work out in the end

#

Ofc i am praying that he’ll flame out there and then a team in the west trades for him only for him to ball out there

short flame
celest zephyr
#

His contract

short flame
#

Ah

#

He got an extension?

celest zephyr
#

Yes

short flame
#

How much?

celest zephyr
#

7.85 mill per year for 8 years

short flame
#

Wow that’s a lot

#

That’s more than what Tage gets

#

He’s got a good agent

celest zephyr
#

Yeah for sure

short flame
#

We gotta give Tage and the boys a new deal

#

If that guy’s on 7.85 then we gotta give 15 to all our boys appart from ukko pekka

#

Good luck in your next team kale

celest zephyr
#

Spo never getting coach of the year is absurd

#

About to sue the nba

#

Doc rivers was on the magic?????????

Doc Rivers at one point was a good coach

Just time has passed him by

The 2023 AL East might be the best division ever

The worst team in that division is 30-29

I don't understand is LeBron not under contract lol

And Twins of course won the WS

celest zephyr
rustic mountain
#

That time that the Twins and White Sox were in the west

celest zephyr
#

The way the divisions used to be aligned was weird

rustic mountain
#

Yep

simple seal
#

Yeah this is before the Central divisions were made in 1993

rustic mountain
#

Just like the NHL had divisions named after dudes

simple seal
#

Only 4 divisions back then

#

And only the division winner made the playoffs

rustic mountain
#

Imagine

celest zephyr
#

The WS used to be over by mid October back then lol

#

West division Atlanta Braves lol

#

Fuck them Dodgers

celest zephyr

The Astros being in the central up until 2011 was odd too

#

The NL*

So weird they had a 4 team division and a 6 team division for so long lol

Hell Cincinnati being "in the west" is weird

shoutout to kyrie for trying

celest zephyr
#

Milwaukee in the AL East KataOmegaLUL

#

So this means Kyrie wants to stay in Dallas I guess?

undone lion
#

seems like it

#

they can pay him more

#

although he'd probably need to take a pay cut for lebron to join so...

#

what a weird situation

celest zephyr
#

That’s what I don’t get. LeBron isn’t even a FA

#

What could Dallas even give LA in a trade

undone lion
#

that's a great question

#

no clue what a lebron trade would look like for any team

celest zephyr
#

Maybe like two picks and a player

#

I’m not overpaying for a 38 year old unless I’m a sure fire contender. Dallas isn’t that right now

undone lion
#

a kyrie/luka/lebron big three would be so weird

celest zephyr
rustic mountain
#

I don't disagree, just those Magic days you were referring to

#

He was actually a good coach

celest zephyr
#

Ah gotcha

#

Mavs have bigger fish to fry as well. Their depth sucks

rustic mountain
#

And he helped the Magic over acheive tbh

celest zephyr
#

I wasn’t even born then so didn’t know

rustic mountain
#

Nah it's cool

celest zephyr
#

Yeh looking at that roster it was some ass

rustic mountain
#

He just at one point knew ball

celest zephyr
#

That 10th pick could help though

#

They’ll trade it

#

No point in developing a player with that pick

#

True. I wonder who they could get with that

#

Honestly they should dump kyrie’s ass

#

And use that money to sign a good player

#

Idk any decent starting caliber big

undone lion
#

you're right

celest zephyr
#

They really need a centre

undone lion

but it's not happening

celest zephyr

And developing one takes years

Solid choice

rustic mountain
dim ledge
#

it be like that though. when you're raised in certain environments you say shit because its what you know. i absolutely dont agree nor support what he said but given the team hes on and who his comrades on the field are i cant imagine he truly holds those beliefs anymore

rustic ore
dim ledge
#

he was held accountable and took responsibility for it

#

people are free to still give him shit, it may be deserved, but as far as him as an individual i think hes largely moved past it

#

which really is all i can ask for

#

im a pan guy who likes a handful of sports. I know for sure that most people on the niners likely freely used the F slur when they were growing up and in varsity/high school/college

#

it sucks, but its what society presses onto people and they absorb it and use it. then they grow up

celest zephyr
#

I don’t dislike him

#

I was just finding what Vinny was talking about

celest zephyr
weak gull
#

Bosa still a poophead imo, Sherman said a solid piece on him though years ago which I mostly agree with.

When you play football, as a player you just maneuver around it all

Yeah for sure

Can’t do much about it

Your entitled to your own opinions and who you like/dislike, taste is subjective BrookShrug

ill also say that alot of players i love in any sport likely don't support the things i do politically and socially. i just kinda came to accept it

Yeah. Knew guys like that in high school and college, we just moved around it all

rustic ore

He's still a fantastic player and fun to watch

celest zephyr

Yeah like the 49ers jersey

The red and white works well

He isn't off the walls character wise like Ray Lewis was as a player but he has some personality to him

criminally underrated

#

Still jelly SF found him in the 3rd round

#

Always get jelly at draft steals, can't help it

#

It's more so luck you find those kinds of guys but still, when you do you have to be at least a pinch miffed your own scouting department didn't see it

it'll really be ironic if Lance ends up a bust considering all that

rustic mountain
dim ledge
#

im 50/50 with named kits because i agree with what youre saying but like

rustic mountain
#

I know tons of players don't support who I am. They are just doing a job. And that's what it is

#

Only thing is numbers look nice and there are exceptions. Crosby for sure is one

#

For all intents and purposes Crosby seems really cool and nice

dim ledge
#

okay, lets consider Mo Salah. I'll preface it by saying that from what I've seen he's actually quite socially progressive and has done like, alot of things that coincide with my beliefs

#

but with his upbringing I think theres a chance he doesn't agree with what I agree with insofar as LGBTQ issues

#

and that sucks, if its true, which im not saying it is

rustic mountain
#

It would not shock me at all

rustic ore
#

And it actually seems like Jed York has learned from his numerous mistakes he made early on in his tenure as the SF owner by just letting the guys he hired do their jobs and not step on their feet, which is rare for owners nowadays it seems

dim ledge
#

and like I said from what i've seen. I actually think Salah may be on my side about that sort of thing

rustic ore
#

I always get the vibe that everyone wants to be like a Jerry Jones and get all the credit for when things go well, but acting like that as an owner opens you up to all of the criticism in the world when things don't go well, deservedly so imo

Well he ain’t better than Allen or burrow

Burrow no, I think it's at least starting to become debatable between him and Allen

Eh i give it to Allen right now

Arguable for me between him Lamar and hurts

So do I, all I'm saying is if Allen doesn't knock it off with the high turnovers vs Herbert getting cleaner in decision making the gap between them is gonna keep getting smaller

Man the old guard have really fallen off. No Rodgers, no Brady, no wilson, no Bree’s

at the end of the day everyone has a rough idea of both in the US

We use metric for most things appart height, temperature, and screw sizes and those types of things

Right so if it is government ran, it likely will be metric

But if not it will be imperial

Where as America uses imperial for government ran things and industrial outfits will use metric and imperial

NFL = Both teams have an offense and defense, O tries to score as many points as possible (either by having the Offensive player in possession of the ball at least touch the line or fully enter into the Defense's end zone for a touchdown which is worth 6 points, or sets their Special Team unit up for a field goal attempt where they try to kick the ball into the Defense's goal post which would be worth 3 point) while the opposing D tries to prevent that (either by forcing their opposition to punt the ball away or by taking the ball away via intercepting a pass or recovering a fumbled ball), team with the most points at the end of regulation wins, if it goes to OT then first team to score usually wins depending on the manner of score. @calm mulch

# calm mulch "Special Team unit" ?

So there is a 3rd element of the game called the Special Teams unit, this is where you have a Kicker being involved in football and usually involves 2 specific kinds of formations, if you're trying to score a field goal that it a Field Goal unit, if you're punting the ball away to give the opposing team's offense a possession that is the Punting unit

So usually wherever your offense ends up starting you have to gain at least 10 yards to extend your current drive as you're attempting to score, each try is referred to as a down and distance. Drives always start with a 1st and 10, that means you need to gain at least 10 yards in order to extend your current try, if you can't extend your drive in 3 plays usually what ends up happening is you'll play it safe and punt the ball away (this depends on a lot of factors, such as what the score currently is in the game, how much time is left, how aggressive/conservative do you want to be etc), because if you tried and failed to extend your drive within 4 downs and failed to at least gain a new 1st and 10 then the opposing offense would then get to start their drive wherever your* offense last had the ball. For example, if I was at my own 30 yard and couldn't gain enough yards in 4 downs then your offense would take over wherever mine last had, so you potentially could start your Offensive drive at my own 30 yard line and only need to gain a measly 30 yards to score a touchdown and get 6 points @calm mulch

#

The addition of pre-snap motion (meaning before the ball has the been snapped and the play has actually started) has been a game changer in the NFL

Meaning moving a player from side to side of your formation before the ball is snapped to see if the opposing defense tips their hand at what kind of defensive play they're about to run

Howe retired for the first time in 1971 and was immediately inducted into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame that same year. He was then inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame the next year, but came back two years later to join his sons Mark and Marty on the Houston Aeros of the WHA. Although in his mid-40s, he scored over 100 points twice in six years, won two straight Avco World Trophies (1974 and 1975) and was named most valuable player in 1974. He made a brief return to the NHL in 1979–80, playing one season with the Hartford Whalers, then retired at age 52. His involvement with the WHA was central to their brief pre-NHL merger success, forcing the NHL to recruit European talent and expand to new markets.
