3 day coping

ohtani is a dodger

😔

[honest umbra]

go

why are we coping?

u got soto

we got ohtani

everyones happy

[proud coyote]

no

[desert palm]

I didn’t want the Dodgers to get Shohei

I don’t want the mega team to get every player

[proud coyote]

just makes it that much better when they lose

roberts has to win this year or he's gone

[honest umbra]

see juba can be happy when we lose

im happy if we win

everyones happy one way or other

[desert palm]

He is gonna get extended watch

[honest umbra]

roberts is a perfect player coach

i geninuely think its very hard for

[desert palm]

Look, technically speaking is better for me that he’s not a Bluejay

[honest umbra]

him to get fired

[desert palm]

But I hate the Dodgers. They do everything I wish the Yankees did.

So like it just sucks

[proud coyote]

even if they have another 100 win season and a first round exit?

[desert palm]

@proud coyote what is your MLB team again?

[proud coyote]

the giants

[honest umbra]

the rivals

of the dodgers

[honest umbra]

idk, like what friedman wants in a manager is roberts

[desert palm]

I was actually just going over mad bum stats earlier, quite fascinating the drop off

[honest umbra]

and he always protects his players

[proud coyote]

madbum's drop off can be explained by his approach to analytics

tons of reports about how he just refuses to adjust

[honest umbra]

madbums drop off can be by explained by his lack of approach to dirtbikes

[proud coyote]

lol

[desert palm]

Analytics existed at that point already

[desert palm]

Don’t forget rodeo

[proud coyote]

his natural talent aligned with it

he was stubborn and wanted to continue pitching as he did

[honest umbra]

when ur young

[proud coyote]

but his body didn't support it anymore

[honest umbra]

u can gt away with antural talent

[proud coyote]

and he wouldn't change

[honest umbra]

when ur older

u gotta adjust

to ur strengths

madbum couldnt

syndegaard cant

its what sucks about being an elite pitcher in decline

what made syndeegard so good was his fast ball

[desert palm]

It’s just wild to me that Verlander and Scherzer could probably go for another year or two yet mad bum is done for life most probably

[honest umbra]

but he cant get up there anymore

[proud coyote]

also, during our most successful times, we weren't really a cutting edge analytical team

righetti, the pitching coach, got fired for not using them as much as the front office wanted

[honest umbra]

bruh bochy is crazy good

won with the rangers too

[proud coyote]

bochy is his own system

[desert palm]

Was that post or pre-Farhan

[proud coyote]

pre

[honest umbra]

pre

we had farhan first

lol

[desert palm]

Technically, he was in the Oakland A’s before

[honest umbra]

thats not a real franchise

[desert palm]

He’s one of Billy Beane disciples

[honest umbra]

brad pitt?

[desert palm]

Unlike Cashman disciples. Most of those turned out pretty well.

[desert palm]

Yes lol

[honest umbra]

is farhan played by jonah hill then?

[desert palm]

No

[honest umbra]

dang it

but yea id move on from roberts personally

nothing ahainst him

he wins reg szn game

and its fun

but something fresh might be needed

[desert palm]

Jonah Hills character is fictionalization of the person named Paul DePodesta

Paul didn’t want his likeness to be used because he didn’t like the attention he got after the book was written and he knew that the movie would just create even more attention so he requested that his name and likeness wouldn’t be in film

[proud coyote]

I just figure like

[desert palm]

Currently, Paul works for the Cleveland Browns organization

[proud coyote]

what can they lose at that point? roberts is who he is

there's obviously a certain amount of luck tied to playoff runs

but I think a better manager wins two-three world series during his tenure

[desert palm]

Roberts is not blamed for 2023, 17-19 and 21-22 yes, not 2023.

Their rotation was wrecked

[honest umbra]

2023 and 2022 are the worst assembled rotations

in playoffs ever

[desert palm]

Everyone who could be a starter was unavailable to do

[honest umbra]

a broken kershaw, homerun lover lynn, rookie miller

cant pitch scherzer

[desert palm]

Either way, I’m still coping Shohei Ohtani

Because I wanted a different team besides the team that everyone predicted

And I’ve been sick and tired of the Dodgers being the new boogie man of the MLB

It’s only supposed to be us gosh darn it

[weak gull]

So help me God if they come out playing sloppy middle school football again I’ll lose it

It’s one thing to just lose cause you weren’t as good

But losing games cause you just out there fucking around kills me

[dim kettle]

It's a Bucs life

[dim ledge]

Eagles fan in my other server has "given up on this team"

people are so dramatic

[sweet tree]

seems like the Prem & La Liga will have an extra UCL spot this season for the upcoming revised UCL (Top 5 gets in UCL)
Unless Serie A overtakes La Liga this season in league coefficients, which would mean they'd get the extra UCL spot.

"The two associations with the highest coefficients from the previous season will receive an extra Champions League berth."

[honest umbra]

is serie a close?

[sweet tree]

yes

[honest umbra]

barca, rm and atm all made next round though right?

[sweet tree]

sorta

[honest umbra]

how many did serie a get?

[sweet tree]

yep

I dont see la liga losing its 2nd spot

[honest umbra]

yea

not like 5th spot amtters to us

seems like we're gonna be in 3rd-4th position this year

[sweet tree]

https://www.sofascore.com/football/rankings/uefa

sofascore has france 5th here for some reason

oh I see, sofascore hasn't updated it since October

or maybe that's December

idk if they're going off european dates or american dates here lol

10/12/23 would be December for Europeans

[sacred kite]

Classic Philly implosion indeed

[torn gale]

Lol mahomes is mad

He should be yelling at his idiot Reciever

Never seen him that pissed

[versed forge]

Oh yeah he was so pissed

He was so mad he didnt even say gg to the opposing team at the end of the game lmao

[torn gale]

Maybe he didn’t see how egregiously offsides he was

And it cost them the game so I understand being heated

But for once it ain’t the refs fault

Toney out here single handedly losing football games

It’s amazing

Dude literally looked backwards towards the center and didn’t question why he could see the front of the center

Nor did he check with the line ref

Disaster class by Toney I can’t wait to watch him cost the chiefs a playoff win

[sacred kite]

Mahomes is wildly out of line lol

“I’m worried this will affect Travis’ HOF chances”

Like bro what

[torn gale]

He’s just in his feelings

Chatting wild stuff

I imagine he’s frustrated this season

Finally blew up

The chiefs might have to…..play a road playoff game

https://tenor.com/view/ksganti-jumpscare-gif-18209355

[fleet orbit]

I hope so. Go broncos I guess

How is Toney still getting snaps ?

[sacred kite]

He’s in the chat rn don’t tell him

[fleet orbit]

The thing that kills me is the chiefs have benefitted from ticky tacky calls , and Mahomes is gonna cry about a blatantly obvious one

That’s some pee wee football shit , what was Toney doing

[torn gale]

Wasnt he just defending the refs in the packers game when they were bad that whole last drive

I think he’s just super duper pissed because this was gonna be the game winning touchdown

But yeah Kadarius Phony is a bum

[fleet orbit]

The chiefs played like dogshit , maybe don’t play like dog shit and that won’t happen

It probably won’t happen, but I’m sending my good juju to the Denver broncos to win the division. I didn’t think the broncos had this run in them

The chiefs have become arrogant , entitled , obnoxious , and Taylor swift should not be the focus of a football game . Fuck the chiefs

[sacred kite]

The only I thing I enjoy about the eagles losing are the DeNiro memes

[torn gale]

I hope the broncos fall further because I don’t like Sean Payton and idc for Wilson

Idc what happens to the afc west

I just wanted a joe burrow Super Bowl

😔

[fleet orbit]

Idk I sympathize with prolonged losing I want Denver to get it together

[fleet orbit]

I am concerned about the eagles last 2 weeks they haven’t even shown up

[torn gale]

Loveeeeeeeeeeeee to see the eagles not only lose but get trounced in back to back weeks

[fleet orbit]

I would love it more but it’s the fucking cowboys lmao

[torn gale]

Eagles when Jalen hurts can’t Superman them to an ugly win

[fleet orbit]

The road to the Super Bowl may belong to the Niners

[sacred kite]

Right? Imploding rn

Im having flashbacks to the Phillies against the diamondbacks, when it became incredibly clear it could be joever

[torn gale]

As long as they’re healthy

[sacred kite]

https://tenor.com/view/theoden-crying-theoden-king-theoden-crying-lotr-gif-20134835

[torn gale]

Hoping they stay healthy

[fleet orbit]

The eagles still got time but the Niners look like the favorite . The cowboys still have to earn trust

[torn gale]

I like the way the niners play football

[fleet orbit]

Me too, I love the Niners squad

[sacred kite]

It’s def possible for the eagles to bounce back, both offense and defense need patching up (defense for sure)

[fleet orbit]

The Niners also keep beating the packers and cowboys in the playoffs so how can I hate them

[fleet orbit]

I think hurts isn’t fully healthy

Right now I’m most interested in the clusterfuck that is the afc wild card race

[sacred kite]

Oh Hurts’ knee gotta be worse than what we see

[fleet orbit]

Niners are definitely if healthy the favorite , they ass blasted both the eagles and the cowboys

[sacred kite]

If the Eagles don’t make the playoffs I’d totally root for the Niners

[fleet orbit]

The eagles definitely will make the playoffs

[sacred kite]

Yeah, I think I’m just preparing for the worst so I’m happy about anything better than that

[torn gale]

Chiefs def drafting a wr this year….

[fleet orbit]

They should’ve never let hill go

But how will the chiefs bounce back? This is Mahomes worst team

[weak gull]

They didn’t want to. Hill didn’t wanna go back

[sacred kite]

Yeah Hill isn’t coming back

[weak gull]

You seen what he’s been saying on podcasts these days? He wanted to leave lol

[fleet orbit]

I stand corrected lol. Toney is so bad

[torn gale]

They need dudes that will actually catch the football or not be an idiot

[fleet orbit]

Mahomes had a chance to be a leader and teach and he blamed the refs

I love it. I hope the chiefs meltdown and Denver somehow wins the west

Detroit is a winnable game for the broncos

[versed forge]

He did it against the lions as well lol

[torn gale]

Yep

I’m glad we got rid of him

Dude barely played for us anyways

Between him, golladay, tate, a routinely injured Shepard, it’s been rough

[fleet orbit]

I don’t even think the patriots were this arrogant

Instead of congratulating Allen, Mahomes bitched about the call. Classless

[restive vector]

Definitely a low of his career

[fleet orbit]

And he can’t say the offsides had no effect on the play either , how else would Toney have gotten wide open on the lateral

The chiefs have lived long enough to become a villian

I would’ve been thrilled for their loss last week except it was to Green Bay

[rustic ore]

Hill is from FL, he wanted to finish out his career close to his family

[haughty moss]

they embraced midfield tho

well he was still mad but yeah 🤣

[hasty mesa]

https://tenor.com/view/puppet-awkward-looking-what-side-eye-gif-15476992

Allen

When Mahomes was complaining

Dude didn’t know what to say lol

But yeah instead of complaining he should’ve just said he’s frustrated that the play was called back but he understands why

The tape was obvious

Instead he and Andy are complaining like crazy

This is downfall of the Chiefs season

I’m also extremely happy we tossed Toney

Looking better everyday

[short flame]

And the rise of the bills

[rustic ore]

Let’s not get crazy

[dim kettle]

Playoff Baker looking at you right in the eye, Dallas.

[rustic ore]

https://tenor.com/view/gun-shoot-me-gif-14188290

I’m looking the playoffs in the face like

[dim kettle]

Too bad that gun will miss like the Bucs top pick chances.

I tried asking for 5 minutes... Would the NFC South not be themselves FOR 5 MINUTES?! But nope. None of that shit is happening.

[hasty mesa]

Playoff Baker gonna beat the Lions

Poor Vinny

[short flame]

Don’t worry we will

[restive vector]

So true

[restive vector]

We'll talk after the cowboys beat them

[short flame]

Not happening

[restive vector]

This is our year

[dim kettle]

Ah wait. That was just a re-run of the game in the 90s

And I've heard that for the last 18 years of being a fan of the NFL.

[restive vector]

This year we won't choke, surely

[hasty mesa]

I'm ngl

This year does seem the most like "their year"

But

It's a trap

[dim kettle]

Make the third round first. Then we talk about it being their year.

[hasty mesa]

Dak has put himself into MVP convo

So good for them

Whoever wins the NFC wins MVP between Dak and Purdy

[short flame]

That’s until they meet the bills

[dim kettle]

Love how Purdy is in this conversation despite the fact the dude has yet to show he can play well in big moments in critical points late in a game this year.

[hasty mesa]

I get that but like his stats aren't a fluke

[dim kettle]

If we're talking about stats. Tyreek Hill should be front running this. But QB is more important than any other spot period.

[hasty mesa]

Yeah

[restive vector]

[hasty mesa]

Antonio Pierce is the GOAT tho

Or so I'm told

By his locker room

[dim kettle]

[dim kettle]

The Knights won in the SO 5-4

Yep. Jack got another W

[celest zephyr]

He’s on a really good team rofl ofc they are going to win a lot

I don’t agree with how he left but idk man it happened

Same with kawhi leaving

Fans are right to boo but at the same time man just focus on your own team otherwise

Plus wouldn’t it be the biggest middle finger to beat them in the playoffs?

[torn gale]

@stoic topaz ever notice how mj has no in season tournament mvps? Really makes you think

[stoic topaz]

would be a good argument if it wasn't for the fact that lebron has a 4-14 record in the nba finals bozo

[torn gale]

In season tournament just means more

Also you’re a dolphins fan I see

Not a bad pick

[short flame]

The moment he won it there’s no way to make it right. Even a cup wouldn’t make up for him winning it. It sickens me and I hate being made the bad guys of the story and will 100% root for his downfall. Even though it’s likely he wins another one

[robust grotto]

https://vxtwitter.com/jprutherford/status/1734258388819685606?s=46&t=0dPhD14zL5uzVVpeHRQMfQ

Good player but running out of time and chances

[torn gale]

I would have never guessed the giants have the most fans in here

Also I want to talk to whoever handles the UI over at discord hq

[stoic topaz]

yeah tho unfortunately i can already see they're fraudulent

[torn gale]

They’ll be fine

[stoic topaz]

not in the playoffs

[torn gale]

I think (hope) they’ll be fine against teams in the playoffs

[stoic topaz]

can't beat a single good team we're cooked

[torn gale]

You can only play the teams in front of you so better to destroy the bad ones

[stoic topaz]

i guess

[torn gale]

Bills loss was the only really bad one

[stoic topaz]

eagles was also bad

[torn gale]

Eagles and chiefs came down to some bad mistakes

But they can compete

[stoic topaz]

i'm gonna need them to do more than that

(as in win)

[torn gale]

They’ve also been missing achane for a while and he’s their best explosive runner

[stoic topaz]

every team has good players missing this season

everyone got injured

[torn gale]

Some are more important injuries than others

[short flame]

That’s until they put him back in the team and the sabres trade him

[celest zephyr]

It’s so bad

And they also change it all the damn time

Same with YouTube man

Need to have a long talk with them

Always change their ui

And most of the time it’s worse

[desert palm]

Wow so cool you are from Col”u”mbia, right near the capital building and the White House.😏

[sacred kite]

I’m still basking in the glory of the Mahomes freak out

[desert palm]

https://youtu.be/8GmkhUoLqXo?si=ZfV3kSIfYQw7BKkp

I think we can all agree that Mahomes has finally reached his LeBron cry baby arc.

[desert palm]

[honest umbra]

@desert palm how do we feel about the trade

[desert palm]

Win win

[sacred kite]

The best is Allen just sliding away and patting him bc he does not want to be near the tantrum

[honest umbra]

I will miss v gon

We badly needed ss depth in the minors

From Seager to Lux to zzz

[desert palm]

We expand our pitching depth, you guys get Joe Kelly and Shohei in the 40 man plus an SS prospect which we have an excess of in our system

[honest umbra]

U like volpe then?

[rustic mountain]

https://bluejaysnation.com/news/heyman-baseball-is-better-with-shohei-ohtani-joining-dodgers

I can't anymore with this nonsense

[celest zephyr]

Mahomes crying for the rest of the gasme instead of being clutch

Ah man hilarious

[dim ledge]

Quotes coming from a guy on the New York Post

Don't take it seriously

[torn gale]

Is this like kd signing with the warriors in nba terms?

[dim ledge]

That publication is a rag

[torn gale]

I know obtain is like really good

[celest zephyr]

Yes

[torn gale]

Fuck man

OHTANI

[rustic mountain]

NY, LA, NY, LA, NY, LA

Fuck them both

[dim ledge]

Ask legit anyone from New York and they'll tell you the NYP is a shit pile

[celest zephyr]

Even if dude went to the rays I’d be happier

[rustic mountain]

God I hate New York and LA sports

[dim ledge]

Just meant to ruffle feathers

At least you don't hate the rangers :D

[celest zephyr]

At least it wouldn’t be forming a super team in LA of all places

[rustic mountain]

The only reason I don't is because you and Lunik are cool

[celest zephyr]

The rangers haven’t won shit in years what is there to hate?

Same with the Knicks rofl

[torn gale]

No salary cap is kinda crazy ngl

[short flame]

[celest zephyr]

Yankees are insufferable

[dim ledge]

Eh Knicks fans low-key annoying lol

[rustic mountain]

Otherwise the rest of it can not win a single title until the end of time and Id be happy

[celest zephyr]

Knicks fans piss me off

[rustic mountain]

Sanjuan you're cool too

But you associate with the Bills

And there is no forgiving that

[celest zephyr]

Not gonna lie. As a fan of the sport i want iconic teams to win man

[hasty mesa]

I can die happy knowing we stopped the GOAT from perfection

[celest zephyr]

Like the Knicks being relevant would be cool

[hasty mesa]

I don’t even have anything against Boston sports

Or Brady

[short flame]

I chose the sabres I have no choice

[rustic mountain]

Fuck Iconic teams

[hasty mesa]

It’s just a cool accomplishment

Especially twice in a short span

[celest zephyr]

I hate the fans and the media that’s it a lot of the time

[torn gale]

Speak for yourself

[rustic mountain]

But mostly fuck LA and NY

[hasty mesa]

My dad went to the 2011 SB parade

[torn gale]

But I don’t hate boston as much as Philly

[hasty mesa]

After Giants won

[celest zephyr]

I only hate the team when they do dumb shit like the yankees

[hasty mesa]

It’s in my blood

[short flame]

It’s the same owners Sab

I have no choice

[hasty mesa]

Yeah

[celest zephyr]

Yankees parading around like they are the baseball mafia

Cowboys act like they are the evil empire

When they can’t do shit

[dim ledge]

Yeah no Boston and Philly for me are the harbingers

Philly first for sure

[short flame]

With that ugly logo

[hasty mesa]

Who’s the Cowboys/Yanks of basketball, Lakers?

[celest zephyr]

If they don’t accomplish shit and they act like they are a dynasty then yeah fuck them

Absolutely the lakers or the Celtics

Historical franchaises, most championships

[short flame]

Like the canadiens

[dim ledge]

I wasn't really following NFL during the pats heyday so hilariously they're the franchise out of New England I have the least problem with

[torn gale]

Yes but the lakers have won much more this century

[celest zephyr]

Yeah fuck the habs man

Same shit with having to hire French guys

Swear they just live off of their old glory

Super annoying when there are teams who refuse to change just cuz they won decades ago

[short flame]

I’m still mad with how they treated my boy Scott Gomez

[rustic mountain]

But Kimmy you're forgetting that's the Quebec way!!!!!

[celest zephyr]

Stfu cowboys and habs you haven’t won In a long ass time

At least the yanks did something this century

[rustic mountain]

Wish they hadn't

[celest zephyr]

Cowboys suck harder at winning in the playoffs than the leafs

[short flame]

Not the Montreal maroons, bring them back

[celest zephyr]

And that’s a massive accomplishment in the worst way

[rustic mountain]

There's french elitism all over Quebec so

[celest zephyr]

Quebec is cool but insufferable

Just hanging on to the old days like the habs

[dim ledge]

dont think there's anything wrong w that preference for the habs. Doesn't stop non Quebecois from signing there and being stars/fan favourites (Subban, Price)

[short flame]

There’s too sides to the story, having lived for a couple of months in French Ontario its not better

[rustic mountain]

That's kinda the thing Sanjuan

French elitism is kinda everywhere

[stuck estuary]

Can anybody explain why Girona is suddenly (last season too), came strong outta nowhere? And the player isn't exactly the biggest star as well, and they able to dominate la liga

[rustic mountain]

Even against fellow french Canadians it's weird

[rustic mountain]

Idk I don't like it. Kinda like when Quebec was forcing people to not wear religious head dresses in their government because that's how Quebec wanted it

[stuck estuary]

Oui oui baguette, here comes a rat invasion

[desert palm]

Welllll there is a tax

The players won’t touch a salary cap. The owners won’t touch a salary floor.

[dim ledge]

Well obviously that I disagree with and find issue with but it's a totally different thing imo. The way I see it the young players grow up in Quebec and love the habs because it's part of québécois identity and culture, so obviously their preference is to play there. Oh I've always supported them, oh I want to play for my people, oh I want to represent my culture and nation

[rustic mountain]

The tax does nothing and we all know it

[desert palm]

The two sides will never come to an agreement on this

[hasty mesa]

Let baseball slowly die then see what happens

[rustic mountain]

Ehhhhhhhhhhh I guess. It's not that much better imo but I don't find issue enough to fight it

[dim ledge]

There's a thing in Spain that's similar if we take two clubs; Real Sociedad and Atleti Blibao. Both tend to sign only Basque players (a cultural identified region in Spain, similar to Québec in Canada) and I've never seen that as an issue

[desert palm]

Both sides are stubborn as flip. I wish the players would realize a cap is slightly necessary. Of course the floor has to be reasonable also.

[rustic mountain]

The year 2035, baseball is just the Dodgers vs the Yankees every year because "it's better for baseball if we just take only the best players and put them there"

[desert palm]

@rustic mountain I get that you are salty about Shohei

[rustic mountain]

Salty doesn't even begin to fucking describe it

[desert palm]

Woah

[rustic mountain]

Sorry. That came off meaner than I meant

[celest zephyr]

Imo salary floor has to happen no question

[rustic mountain]

But I am seriously irritated with baseball

[celest zephyr]

Like there’s zero point in having a minor league level team in the mlb

Cuz they spend like 30 mill a year

You can’t possibly field a good team for a long period of time with the pennies they pay

Best in the case is nba soft cap

[desert palm]

Apparently, you guys were “right there” to that number so it wasn’t like your team wasn’t going to spend any money

[celest zephyr]

Where there are restrictions and a luxury tax

[rustic mountain]

I am not mad at the Blue Jays

[desert palm]

He decided the Dodgers end of the story

[rustic mountain]

I am mad at shohei, his team

And subsequently hate the dodgers too

[celest zephyr]

But like hypothetically you could spend an absurd amount of money

Until you run out of roster spots

[short flame]

I respect the decision from Bilbao, they sign local, it protects the team and values of the region. My issue is that the canadiens still buy players from outside and then fans attacks their own players. People insulting Nick Suzuki for not speaking French well is ridiculous. I’d sign a player that doesn’t speak at all if it means getting a cup

[rustic mountain]

I actually hate the Dodgers more than I hate the Yankees

You should be happy

[celest zephyr]

I dislike both equally. Second only to the Astros

Fucking rats

Who cheated

[desert palm]

Yeah but then you will have to face the taxes and only cohen doesn’t care about that

[celest zephyr]

Hey man can’t get everything you want lol

[short flame]

What about the brewers?

[desert palm]

Only recently did Hal say that he’s willing to go above the cohen tax

[rustic mountain]

Brewers dont piss me off at all

[short flame]

Yay

[rustic mountain]

It goes:
Dodgers

Yankees
Astros

That's kinda it

[desert palm]

Separate leagues and divisions so no real rivalry

[celest zephyr]

There already is a luxury tax huh

Well then why not a floor rofl

Cuz like only a few teams are willing to spend into the tax anyways

[desert palm]

Poor man tax 😆

[short flame]

Doesn’t stop me from hating all teams but 3

[celest zephyr]

Should have one rofl

If youcan’t afford to pay like 100 mill on payroll then sell the team

[desert palm]

Spend to little you get taxed

[celest zephyr]

I prefer to call it competitive balancing

[rustic mountain]

I want a floor and a cap

I find it ridiculous that the Dodgers can just go out and throw all this money and not have to stop at some point

They have Mookie Betts, Shithei Ohtani, and fucking Freddie Freeman

[short flame]

I don’t want a cap, let them go bankrupt

[rustic mountain]

They won't

That's the isshe

Issue

They basically have unlimited money

[fleet orbit]

I hope they keep losing in the playoffs

Their one title is sus

[rustic mountain]

Kinda like Rogers does but no one wants to play in Canada

Hence why I wish Canada just support its own leagues but it can't

So we are forced to be this middle tier team that seemingly can't get better

[short flame]

Sab do you watch the cfl?

[rustic mountain]

Games aren't on too often in America

But I follow the league

[celest zephyr]

Eh its fun to have one league tbh

Idk i don’t hate it

[rustic mountain]

I do when Canadian teams get fucked over

[celest zephyr]

Not like the blue jays have anywhere close to the longest mlb drought

[sweet tree]

well real sociedad has basque players and other foreign players, bilbao really only has players from their academies. Honestly think they would benefit a lot more if they just did what real sociedad does and use both academy players & foreign players.

[celest zephyr]

And other mid market teams in America get fucked over all the time rofl

[rustic mountain]

Hope no hard feelings. I let the frustration out a bit much

[celest zephyr]

If there was a Canada league the same shit would happen

[rustic mountain]

They should be angry about it too not relegated to mediocre play

[celest zephyr]

Can’t do shit about it though

Big owners hold too much sway

[desert palm]

MLB has 3 camps

[celest zephyr]

Same with like any league

[desert palm]

Big Market Owners vs Small market Owners vs Players

[celest zephyr]

And tbh its pretty hard to get any proposal to go through without at least one big team being in favour

Unless you can convince every other small market team to agree

[desert palm]

For example small markets want higher taxes yet big markets complain about it

[celest zephyr]

That’s every league I’m a fan of

[desert palm]

E.g cubs owner Tom Rickets

[rustic mountain]

Yeah you're not wrong Kimmy

[desert palm]

Famous for complaining about the Lux Tax

[rustic mountain]

I really need to learn how to stop watching I swear

[robust grotto]

Jon Heyman is a serious reporter wdym, he’s a tier 1 baseball source. I understand NYP is dog shit tier with political stuff but for sports it really isn’t - it’s unquestionably the best NYR source too. NYP for sports is genuinely acceptable, I promise you

[rustic mountain]

Fuck him and the NYP

[robust grotto]

I’m gonna go read the New York post right now

[rustic mountain]

Feel free. I just hate em

"it's better for baseball." Fuck off Heyman.

[robust grotto]

More like better for espn and Disney smh, I understand

[rustic mountain]

Shit like this that is gonna make me more defensive of my team and my players who choose to be here probably irrational

But this makes me appreciate Gausman a ton. Love that guy

[desert palm]

Nothing beats “Arson Judge Appears to be headed to the Giants” from his tweet last year

[robust grotto]

Lmfao legit after I clicked “send” I knew Arson Judge would appear

[desert palm]

@rustic mountain Jram great example of that for the Guardians

[rustic mountain]

Support players who support their smaller teams

[desert palm]

He signed a 141,000,000

Deal with them

In 2022

Dude is worth WAYYYYYYYYY MORE THAN THAT

he even said that other teams offered significantly more

[rustic mountain]

I am sure they did. But he loves that team and his fans

I respect that

[desert palm]

But he wanted to stay in Cleveland

[robust grotto]

That being said I don’t support what Heyman said btw I’m just trying to say that he’s not like this major hack and NYP sports shouldn’t have the same ties as their regular publications

[rustic mountain]

For sure

But fuck him for saying it

[robust grotto]

Oh yeah I totally get it

[rustic mountain]

I know you Lunik youre a good dude

Go time is too

[desert palm]

Thanks

[robust grotto]

Smaller markets staying small doesn’t exactly help sports bro lmfao

[rustic mountain]

New York fans that are cool

I just.

[desert palm]

Although me and him are two sides of the NYC coin for MLB

[robust grotto]

That’s just old timer thinking - WELL YOU KNOW BIG TEAM GETS BIG PLAYERS okay.

[rustic mountain]

I know for sure

[desert palm]

Sab until 2021 Lunik suffered with a small market like owner in NYC

He knows the pain

[rustic mountain]

I am tired of LA and NY getting everything they want and everyone else just has to deal with it

Not all of NY

Obviously

But idk this shit is frustrating and no douche elitist reporter saying baseball is better when only a couple teams have stars makes it true

[desert palm]

Btw @rustic mountain after Nashville, both players and Fans say that Montreal should have an expansion team

[rustic mountain]

I'd love for that to happen

[desert palm]

Just not in the garbage dump

Olympic stadium

[rustic mountain]

When would an expansion happen

[desert palm]

Or however you say it in French

[desert palm]

Probably once the Rays finalize the Saint Pete plans

[rustic mountain]

Well here is hoping

I'd still be a Jays fan even if Montreal came back but itd be nice

After this Ohtani shit, I am like trauma bonded to these blue birds

[desert palm]

And when the A’s move to Vegas

[robust grotto]

If it makes you feel even a little better - practically every NHLer would say yes to joining the rangers and absolutely nothing has come out of it. Every god damn year, no matter who’s in charge, an aging star player is dangled in front our eyes .. like a carrot on a stick… and every time we fall for it

We stink

[rustic mountain]

Just goes to show Rangers Bros 4 Lyfe

Hence why I don't hate the Rangers

[robust grotto]

It’s the fucking worst. I’m already ready for the inevitable Stamkos rumors in a few months

Idiot HC I swear

[rustic mountain]

I am letting hockey play out a bit more before I start watching games consistently

I catch one here or there

But I treat it like baseball, I let it get rolling before I catch more games

[robust grotto]

Def understand that

I dropped the nfl the last month +

[rustic mountain]

Not like football where it's one game a week

[robust grotto]

That’s partly why football is special. It’s just one day a week

[rustic mountain]

Baseball can be up to 4 times a week or so and hockey is a little better I've found

But still the seasons are so long

[robust grotto]

October to April at minimum. It’s a long season

[rustic mountain]

NBA I won't even touch until playoffs really because tbh I just don't like the product rn

[robust grotto]

Yeah I just can’t put that many sports in my life - nothing to the NBA

[rustic mountain]

I am partial to the raptors

But I don't consider myself a diehard nba fan

[robust grotto]

I don’t bet either so really having my team is the part that keeps me with sports. And if i now have to choose between Rangers or Knicks on a Tuesday night .. that’ll bother me a lot

[rustic mountain]

I don't bet either

Bad business imo

[robust grotto]

You can tell who bets and who doesn’t

A lot of my friend tell me to and I just laugh. Fuck that

[rustic mountain]

My dad also has a gambling problem so I don't want to find out if I do too

So I just don't

[robust grotto]

Ah yeah, no need to go that route

[rustic mountain]

Tbh I keep wanting to get out of sports. Or at least pull way back

But it keeps pulling me back

Like that Heymen shit

It makes me wanna defend the Jays and it drags me back

[desert palm]

https://tenor.com/view/godfather-pull-me-back-in-hellping-hands-gif-13479276

[robust grotto]

oh dude unplugging would be healthy af

Look at the score from time to time and move on

[desert palm]

@rustic mountain if you want I’ll just ping you significant Blue Jay moves That way you can clear your headspace.

And only look into it once you get a notification

Pitchers and Catchers don’t report till middle of February anyways

[celest zephyr]

shit man same with the leafs

that's why i understand your pain

some washed guy who says i love the leafs and i've always been a leafs fan/ i was when i was younger

[rustic mountain]

I appreciate it man

[celest zephyr]

and the leafs suck it up and sign them

[robust grotto]

Sad, you get it

[honest latch]

Guys

I think I’ve officially hit rock bottom in my Panthers fandom

Which is crazy, because it feels like it can get worse

[desert palm]

@celest zephyr @rustic mountain @haughty moss look into it if you live near Rogers centre

Great year for it to be home for you guys lol

[torn gale]

Lol. Lmao, even.

[desert palm]

Last ping until significant move

[torn gale]

I wish my team had the luxury of crying about being 8-5 instead of 9-4

[celest zephyr]

I’ll be ready

[fleet orbit]

On top of all that it doesn’t help to be down 2 touchdowns for most of the first half

[torn gale]

The one time the chiefs have an elite defense under the mahomes era their offense turns to dust

[fleet orbit]

I’m at the point where usually I figure , it’s the chiefs , they’ll be in the mix. Even I’m losing confidence

The Ravens are a team I like but I am not fully certain of , they kinda get streaky at times

I wouldn’t be shocked if the afc playoffs is a shit show

I’m just happy the bears played so well on Sunday

[torn gale]

I would say it’s the chiefs also but the offense is so dysfunctional and kadarius is so game changing that even mahomes might not be able to Will out a win vs better teams

I just want Lamar to come out the afc

I’d be fine with the ravens or dolphins

[sacred kite]

Man Purdy, Gibbs, and Aiyuk carried my fantasy team this weekend

Everyone else was cheeks or didn’t play yet

[fleet orbit]

Ravens have a good shot this season, they are good on both sides of the ball, it’s all about if they can close out games

[torn gale]

I’m winning by 2 points vs a team that had 2 missing players

It’s been rough

[fleet orbit]

As a bears fan, I know the bears aren’t good , but this team is clearly improving . This is a much better team than last year

[sacred kite]

Jakobi Myers has been real inconsistent

[celest zephyr]

good for bears fans

honestly a legit qb and they might have something there

cannot convince me fields is him

[fleet orbit]

Yeah see that’s where things are weird . Fields will sometimes look like the answer but then he is inconsistent. The stink of the Vikings game wasn’t forgotten just because he balled out against Detroit

[celest zephyr]

speaking of the north i wonder what the vikings do at qb

[rustic mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/sensational-gif-4975652

[celest zephyr]

even if kirk stays dude is old

[fleet orbit]

The good news is the pass rush is improving , Moore was a great acquisition, and the team has been playing much better lately

[celest zephyr]

moore was such a fleecing man

[fleet orbit]

But the thing I’m worried about is the bears performance lately which has been much better encourages them not to fire Eberflus

[sacred kite]

Is Myers even worth starting anymore?

[fleet orbit]

Beetlejuice !!!

[sacred kite]

BEET!

[fleet orbit]

Now that’s a legend

[versed forge]

Beetlejuice 🐐

[fleet orbit]

But yeah the bears might have a difficult decision to make on fields and Eberflus this year . Because genuinely this team is doing a lot better

[sacred kite]

I have no thoughts on the raiders but it’s gotta be good for anyone rooting against them

[fleet orbit]

3-0 😂😂😂😂😂

[sacred kite]

Also the Future cheesecake gif

[rustic mountain]

I root against Jakobi Meyers

Specifically because of the dumbass throw he made to Chandler Jones when he played for us

[torn gale]

https://tenor.com/view/stiff-arm-chandler-jones-patriots-gif-27266202

[fleet orbit]

As a bears fan myself I’m conflicted because I see Ryan leaf written all over Caleb Williams

[fleet orbit]

That was legendary

[celest zephyr]

i like the draft also man

[rustic mountain]

I also thought he really wasn't that great anyway. I always was not too high on the dude

[celest zephyr]

some nice tackles on both ends

plus dl and a rb

[fleet orbit]

The bears secondary needs a revamp

The pass rush looks much better

[rustic mountain]

Id argue this single game was the last sad period on Mac Jones career

[celest zephyr]

yeah they need secondary

how has stevenson been?

they picked him pretty early on

[sacred kite]

Now is it even worth it to replace him with DeAndre Hopkins who is also wild inconsistent

[rustic mountain]

He got hurt

And also the line is ass

[sacred kite]

Man I gotta shop for a new WR

[rustic mountain]

So Mondre hasnt really been Mondre

[fleet orbit]

He’s been very good

[celest zephyr]

nice good shit

[fleet orbit]

But what to do about fields , I’m stumped rn

[rustic mountain]

Woops my bad

Thought you were talking about Mondre Stevenson

[dim ledge]

This isn't "5 NYR prospects to watch" or "targets for the NYY in the off-season". It's clearly an opinion piece that, much like every other story that parody tier grocery checkout rag publishes, is meant to rattle folks and take a devil's advocate stance. It having a sports veneer and being from a writer who can evidently be serious doesn't qualify it as either serious or a quality sports piece

[sacred kite]

You mean Hopkins? Or was that for someone else

[fleet orbit]

Stevenson , our rookie corner

[celest zephyr]

kinda bothered adams when he faced him one on one

[sacred kite]

Ahhhh gotcha, my bad💀

[celest zephyr]

almost feels like he bit too hard at times on some of adams' shiftiness

[fleet orbit]

Adams needs to leave Vegas now what a dumpster fire

[celest zephyr]

yeah for sure

dude was pissed with adian o'connell

[fleet orbit]

The defense gave up a field goal, and they still lost

That’s pathetic

The raiders game was one of the least stressful bears games of the season, a thorough ass whopping

[dim ledge]

+like thrice in the article he says "yeah this is good for AMERICA and AMERICANS because he's playing in a BIG AMERICAN CITY"

Hahahaha

Joker

[celest zephyr]

fucking rat

you know what would have been better for the world? dude going to toronto

at least going to tampa or something

[fleet orbit]

Are we talking about ohtani

[celest zephyr]

yes

i don't have any love for atlanta but even the braves would have been more tolerable

[fleet orbit]

I’m pissed that he ended up in La I hate the dodgers

[celest zephyr]

out of anywhere the dodgers or yankees?????

smh

[rustic ore]

Othani would’ve been cool, then you remember our owner is perhaps the stingiest in all of sports 💀

Fuck $tu

From the heart

[fleet orbit]

Ricketts should’ve thrown the fucking treasure trove at him

[celest zephyr]

honestly i'd have loved to seen him there

[fleet orbit]

The one person I know who likes the dodgers thinks the straw hats are the worst part of op so that says all you need to know

The dodgers make me sick, so glad the cubs didn’t win a Mickey Mouse World Series

[desert palm]

He probably tried

[desert palm]

Bruuuuuuuuh

Ohtani btw I believe is a One Piece fan or at least watches the show

[fleet orbit]

I think he did , sadly wasn’t meant to be. If he would’ve signed with the cubs I would’ve forced Ricketts to give the cubs back to wgn

[fleet orbit]

He said so?

[desert palm]

When he was a kid, there was a list he wrote of things he wanted to do that day, and in the future the reason why this circulated because it was related to him being part of team Japan, and that was one of his dreams

In that same list, he wrote in Japanese watch one piece

Could be his taste have changed over the years

[fleet orbit]

I just wish his taste didn’t lead them to the dodgers , they are just as big of asshats as the Yankees

[dim ledge]

Lol holy shit

No wonder the rams did the one piece night

Hahaha

[sacred kite]

Ohtani: “I’ve changed my mind. One piece is for babies and I only read/watch isekais now”

[fleet orbit]

That was pretty dope

[fleet orbit]

His wife called the refs the mvp. She’s so annoying

[desert palm]

Which series is banned from being mentioned in this server?

I tried, putting a list of confirmed anime and manga ohtani is a fan of and it didn’t allow me to send it

[fleet orbit]

That I do not know

[fleet orbit]

10/10

[desert palm]

Confirmed anime/Manga Shohei likes

[desert palm]

World Trigger

[desert palm]

Black Clover

[desert palm]

Slam Dunk (Shohei Fav series)

[desert palm]

MAJOR (my fav sports anime)

[fleet orbit]

That is almost as good an anime as one piece , the crazy Steve saga was a masterpiece for powerscaling discussions and I cried when Josh accidentally murdered Oprah

I wish ohtani chose the cubs but whatever , I figured he wouldn’t

[smoky fable]

got to read/watch that one

[fleet orbit]

Let’s hope the dodgers keep choking

[fleet orbit]

Baseball needs a hard cap (they won’t , I know yall lol)

[dim kettle]

Almost as funny as the server not allowing someone here to say Enrique Hernandez's nickname. Fate tried typing it once and it actually warned him. lol

Baseball will have a salary cap inevitably.

The players are just trying to milk it as much as possible before one dumb mistake is made during a lockout period.

[fleet orbit]

We can only hope . 10 year contracts are dumb and super front heavy

[dim kettle]

Don't believe me on that one. The NHLPA during the 04-05 lockout would like to have a word with you.

[fleet orbit]

The bad news is moneyball is not a viable strategy . The teams hit a wall in the playoffs

[dim kettle]

They failed in 94. But here's the difference between baseball in 94 compared to now. Baseball is not the number one sport or even number two in North America anymore.

[fleet orbit]

NBA is more profitable than MLB rn ? I didn’t realize

Actually what am I saying? That makes perfect sense

I’m gonna be blunt the steroid era was good for baseball even if you question the ethics of it

[dim kettle]

Nah. Baseball is still number 2 in that. However, that's because they play in larger stadiums. But the reality is, more people know about football and basketball than baseball in 2023.

[fleet orbit]

That’s because baseball doesn’t market its best players very well by comparison

[dim kettle]

That's a major part of it. But its also because more of the younger generation just thinks it's a boring, slow sport.

[fleet orbit]

Which can be true tbh

[dim kettle]

And you got to imagine in these smaller markets who are cheap just how hard it is to get these younger people to go to the games.

[fleet orbit]

Baseball by nature struggles because people love to go out and enjoy the weather and because that’s a fuck ton of games

I always felt like winter and fall were where sports ratings shined

[celest zephyr]

Yeah summer sports are kinda whatever

Too much other shit to do

Why would I watch like 30 games of baseball throughout the summer?

[desert palm]

Because baseball rules

[dim kettle]

It used to be the cool thing to go and watch. Like, it's hard to believe now that over 25+ years ago, baseball and NASCAR were some of the hottest sports in the country.

[desert palm]

Let me have this pls 😭

[desert palm]

If you want we can do a watch along one day

[celest zephyr]

Honestly with nascar to me it’s the convoluted rules and just piss poor marketing

Stages and playoffs just make it confusing at the end of the day

[fleet orbit]

My friend was always hyped about opening day and I was just not into it because March madness took over my time lol

[celest zephyr]

Truth be told with baseball same thing. How many guys are really household name anymore?

Also hockey

Mcdavid is amazing but he doesn’t have close to the name power of a guy like lemieux, Orr, Gretzky etc

[fleet orbit]

Hockey just isn’t my thing . I respect hockey fans , cool people , just never got into it

[celest zephyr]

That’s fair

[fleet orbit]

Football and basketball is my jam

I think baseball has a great playoff I just think it’s hard to stay engaged all season with 162 games

[sacred kite]

Football and Baseball for me but yeah—baseball season is wild long

[fleet orbit]

Honestly having the best player in the west coast might not help. I don’t have an east coast bias but plenty do

I love west coast stuff

[weak gull]

I enjoy everything, but baseball is definitely lowest for me

Watch the other 3 pretty religiously at college and pro levels

[fleet orbit]

I think it’s because baseball has mvps who are like 3 time all stars and are mid the rest of their career

[fleet orbit]

I’m still a huge college basketball fan , even if I’m alone

[weak gull]

You aren’t alone frend

[fleet orbit]

The regular season is awesome , I watch any basketball

[weak gull]

Sad that Michigan basketball still has Jufraud Howard

[sacred kite]

It is wild seeing how cold ppl can suddenly go in any sport, always tough to see

[weak gull]

But I watch anyways

[honest umbra]

Im not a fan of being cold

[fleet orbit]

Hey if it makes you feel better msu is pretty ass rn

[weak gull]

Oh I know lol

[fleet orbit]

Purdue Illinois and Wisconsin are the top 3 of the big 10

[weak gull]

My best friend is an MSU alum. We talk about CBB a lot

[weak gull]

Easily imo

Although

Wisconsin got fucking crushed by Zona

Big ten ain’t hitting fr. I need Belein back

[celest zephyr]

I just can’t get into college sports man

[fleet orbit]

Arizona is Purdue west it’s all about March for me with them

I love the environment

[celest zephyr]

Canada sports suck most of the time and I have no stake with an American college

Yeah it’s just cuz hardly anyone cares here

Tbh

Nowhere close to somewhere like Michigan duke ucla etc

You just know it’s happening. Barely anyone talks about it at my uni

I know more shit is happening by walking on campus and seeing people in uniforms go around

[weak gull]

I love watching Arizona lose in march

I actually root for Purdue … but they just let me down every year

Only year they did anything was when Carson Edwards’s turned into Trey Burke basically for the tournament

[celest zephyr]

and then Carson edwards hasn’t done shit in the nba

Also remember that crazy run Suggs had

Man Purdue are such chokers

Every year in March I see a bunch of articles on how they blow it

Same with Tennessee and Houston

[weak gull]

I mean we knew that would happen. Too small fr

[rustic ore]

Think I read they just hired Minnesota’s DC to be their new DC

[rustic ore]

https://tenor.com/view/fresh-prince-gif-22279816

Do that

[honest umbra]

i say we keep fields

[fleet orbit]

I want Purdue to get it done this time

[dim kettle]

Here's the thing with Fields. The splash plays can be fun sometimes. But it's the basic, solid plays that Fields simply cannot hit consistently enough to be the long term answer at QB.

[fleet orbit]

I was talking hoops

This

Two MNF games because fuck you. Says the NFL

[hasty mesa]

8:15pm

[rustic mountain]

Who is the other mnf

[hasty mesa]

Dolphins Titans

[dim kettle]

Titans and Phins

[hasty mesa]

Which will be more fun cuz Dolphins destroy bad teams

Jordan Love

Oh yeah. Def a Dead Space night

If only the tigers were good

[dim kettle]

Tigers used all their winning powder on failed runs the last few decades.

The Tigers can at least say they aren't the Pistons.

[fleet orbit]

I think they have no excuses this year . Improved shooting , more athleticism, best player in the sport . It’s all about not freezing up at the end of March against low seeded mid majors

[fleet orbit]

I think I’ll do something else tonight instead like watch anime or paint dry

[dim kettle]

Re-watching the 98 Bulls run trying to understand what went wrong afterward.

[fleet orbit]

Jerry reinsdorf is what went wrong

At least Saturdays nfl slate is stacked

[desert palm]

Jerry ruined Chicago sports

NBA and MLB

[fleet orbit]

Yes

[weak gull]

Even if they weren’t still last for me

Still watch though

[desert palm]

So everyone Shohei Sweepstakes are officially over

The next big Sweepstakes is the Yamamoto one

Mets vs Yankees Currently (Dodgers might be in the mix)

@robust grotto vs @desert palm ( @honest umbra in the rink as well)

Who will win

https://tenor.com/view/punching-boxing-mobile-game-gif-17593856

[fleet orbit]

I feel for Detroit sports fans

[rustic mountain]

If the Dodgers sign Yamamoto I'll sell my baseball jerseys and be done with the whole thing

[fleet orbit]

Can some sports team from Illinois just get their shit together please ?

I guess the college hoops teams are pretty good

[rustic ore]

No, they burned all their magic to let the Cubs end their curse

Everyone must suck now

[fleet orbit]

Honestly , worth it , that shit was incredible

[rustic ore]

It was indeed

Jalen Hurts needs a cadence like Prescott. That’s our secret to the Super Bowl

“YEAHHHH…HERE WE GOOOO”

Jalen Hurts needs to get surgery on his clearly injured leg

[fleet orbit]

Prescott needs to prove it in the playoffs , I’m not giving the Cowboys the benefit of the doubt just yet

Honestly if healthy the Niners got this

[sacred kite]

Oh he’s gotta get surgery. Do we know exactly how it’s been injured

Like meniscus or a ligament

[rustic ore]

Jalen Hurts needs a cadence like Prescott. That’s our secret to the Super Bowl Divisional Round

FTFY

[sacred kite]

LOL

Yeah we gotta take things day by day after getting clocked two weeks in a row

[rustic ore]

[fleet orbit]

I just can’t trust Dallas

[sacred kite]

I am contractually obligated to dislike them

[fleet orbit]

I’m not , I just do

The Vikings and packers on the other hand, I’m obligated to hate them

[sacred kite]

Completely off topic but Marquese Goodwin going to his knees in the end zone will always make me emotional

[rustic ore]

For me it’s not so much that I hate the Cowboys, I’m a Bucs fan so I honestly couldn’t care less, but as a fan of football in general I’m legally required to meme on them and their fans

[fleet orbit]

Personally my only gripe toward the eagles is the bears can’t seem to beat them

[sacred kite]

I have no hate towards NY teams rn but if the eagles lose to the giants this year

Just a funny terrifying hypothetical

[fleet orbit]

I’ll take a split against Detroit , that’s satisfying . Sadly tho the bears should’ve won both

[desert palm]

I think Cleveland sports has it the worst besides the Cavaliers

[fleet orbit]

Arizona ?

[desert palm]

Browns never won. Guardians haven’t won since after World War II and while the blue jackets are new they never won ever either.

[rustic mountain]

The Browns deserve their pain at least

[desert palm]

2001 is closer to never in franchise, and since World War II

[fleet orbit]

Good point

[desert palm]

The Cavaliers are the only saving grace of Cleveland sports and that’s only because they got super lucky in finding LeBron James

And getting first overall pick

lol

[short flame]

@robust grotto Levi will not be allowed to do his meditation ritual during the games

[celest zephyr]

And this is why the nhl is no fun

Policing meaningless shit

Sports should just let it happen man

[desert palm]

This was the biggest problem that MLB had up until seven years ago

(Thank you Joey Bats)

All the stupid unwritten rules

That made a lot of the players act and look robotic

[robust grotto]

Because they have to clean the crease

[robust grotto]

It’s not meaningless bc ice scraps slows down the puck, naturally. When a goalie gets to the crease after an intermission they all do the same thing.. and that’s skating in place to chop up the crease

[short flame]

But does he have to be off the ice entirely?

[robust grotto]

They told him to do it on the faceoff dot so he’s allowed to continue !

[rustic mountain]

There’s def a purpose behind the request

[celest zephyr]

nah its all good

makes sense at the dot also cuz its always chopped up anyways

so its a moot point

there's so many faceoffs

[hasty mesa]

Giants are wearing Legacy unis

Let’s go

[torn gale]

Good

Our modern Jerseys are so boring

[hasty mesa]

By the way https://vxtwitter.com/jefepil/status/1734008294065184828?s=46

We have 2 picks in top 50 cuz of Seahawks

And 2 2nd round picks total in 2024

[torn gale]

Thank you Seattle

[hasty mesa]

Schoen about to cook

[hasty mesa]

Leo is not worth a 2nd

Idk what they smoking

[torn gale]

We robbed them

Daboll will get his guy and we can finally start building towards something

[hasty mesa]

Ye

We can draft Oline + Edge in second round

[torn gale]

Even if we don’t have a winning record next year I won’t even be mad if we are fun to watch again

[hasty mesa]

That’d be fire

[torn gale]

And I see noticeable improvement

[hasty mesa]

Our schedule should be weaker

Easier path to playoffs

[torn gale]

We play the nfc north and the afc west next year

[hasty mesa]

We play NFC South next year I thought?

[torn gale]

And whatever place nfc south

[hasty mesa]

We played North last year

Vikings Lions Pack Bears

This year was West

Now we onto South(?)

AFC West yeah we play them

[torn gale]

Nah I just checked

It’s the af west and nfc north

[hasty mesa]

Then what the hell was last year

[torn gale]

And then whatever place for nfc west and south

[hasty mesa]

https://fbschedules.com/2024-new-york-giants-schedule/

This says the South

[torn gale]

Oops I was looking at 2025

Mb

[hasty mesa]

Knowing us watch the South all become crazy strong

Just in time for next year

[torn gale]

I’m not thrilled playing the afc north

Will be some ugly football played

[hasty mesa]

Yeah we’re boned

Tho we have beaten Lamar

Last year

[torn gale]

We are Lamar’s only loss to the nfc in his career

[hasty mesa]

Yep

Love it

[torn gale]

Depending on how much Washington wants to keep sucking we may end up 3rd place at like 4 wins

I’d love to have daniels over for the giants

I wonder where he’s projected now

[fleet orbit]

I think the bears aren’t guaranteed last place given the Vikings performances lately

[torn gale]

Yeah

[fleet orbit]

GB is gonna make the playoffs

If the bears handle this offseason well this could be a playoff team next year

[torn gale]

Do you think they’ll give fields another year or get rid of him for whatever qb they draft

[hasty mesa]

Caption this @robust grotto @torn gale

[fleet orbit]

I’m conflicted . Williams is someone I see busting tbh

[torn gale]

Prototypical Giants QB™️

[robust grotto]

Balkan will hate this post

2 million a year

soooooo of the 700,000,000

he is only making 20 mill total during his playing time

and the rest is just basically retirement money

680 mill retirement money sheeeeeeeeeesh

[narrow zodiac]

Sounds sketchy

But god damn

[torn gale]

Adopt me ohtani

[austere lava]

[robust grotto]

[robust grotto]

Baseball is different though

[fleet orbit]

This is fucking hilarious

Rex Ryan is so funny

[desert palm]

this is how they are dodging the lux tax issues

[robust grotto]

Mets will probably do this eventually too

Once a good enough player becomes available

[desert palm]

no interest tooo

saving the dodgers even more money

props to shohei and his team and the dodgers for finding this loophole
