[rustic mountain]

My family is full of overly right winged people who only watch fox news

So

There's that

[robust grotto]

I don't vote so it's all good man lmao. We all have something.

[rustic mountain]

Nah it just paints the picture as to why they say the things they so

Do

[robust grotto]

true I understand that

[short flame]

The only vote I take is if a Colombian is nominated for a sports prize

[robust grotto]

very noble cause good sir

I don't even vote for all star games! I'm just the worst

a menace to society. There goes Lunik... he doesn't vote!!!

[rustic mountain]

My team's colombian corner back probably was gonna be rookie of the year defensively

Gdi

[short flame]

If I could vote for Scott Gomez as the best nhl player of all time I would

[rustic mountain]

You can do that

I just don't think you'd get a lot of people behind ya

[robust grotto]

scott gomez lived at the hotel, across the street from the practice rink, in my town for a few years

[short flame]

I’d get lunik behind me right lunik?

[rustic mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/sweats-gif-25346666

Lunik be like

[robust grotto]

nope. BUT I'll support you

[short flame]

Won’t you vote for Scott?

[robust grotto]

no chance lol

but I believe in free will!!

Scott is a good guy. Too bad it didn't work with NYR

( it nevers works with NYR )

[rustic mountain]

Rangers bros damn

[short flame]

His hotel is in front of your town’s rink. Surely you can vote for a rangers legend

[robust grotto]

it's a private school now

they tore down the hotel

[rustic mountain]

A rangers legend? Is he a Rangers legend??

[robust grotto]

no lol he's a devils legend

[short flame]

To build the scott Gomez school?

[rustic mountain]

Respect your dedication to Colombia sanjuan

[robust grotto]

the devils practiced in my town for a long time. Gomez signed with NYR as a free agent and then was traded to MTL for a young Ryan McDonagh

[short flame]

See he did play for the rangers

Rangers legend

[robust grotto]

had MTL not traded for Gomez... they would've had McDonagh AND PK Subban on the blueline

[short flame]

I will forever hate the habs for how they treated Scott

[robust grotto]

they deserve all the hate

I also want to say Gomez is one of the few players ever to come out of Alaska

[short flame]

From Colombian Mexican origins

[robust grotto]

Brandon Dubinsky was another from Alaska... some goalie too that's slipping my mind ahhh

[robust grotto]

yeah! how cool is that. Colombian/Mexican.. grew up in Alaska, played hockey and ended up in NYC/MTL as a pro

hell of a story

[short flame]

The sabres have the only Whitehorse born player in the NHL

[robust grotto]

yep

Yukon

[dim ledge]

Phoenix Copley

[robust grotto]

not even whitehorse but the whole province

Copley is from Alaska?!?1

[dim ledge]

[robust grotto]

OOOOOOO TY @dim ledge

[dim ledge]

this one is a shocker

wow

Jeremy

[robust grotto]

[dim ledge]

Swayman

[robust grotto]

OHHHH

ty dude

JEEEZ

you'd imagine more players would come from Alaska lol

[short flame]

Yeah crazy story

[robust grotto]

and yes @short flame Cozens is the first player from all of Yukon

Jordin Tootoo was the first Inuk

[short flame]

@robust grotto Barrett heisten also from Alaska

[dim ledge]

[robust grotto]

I'm sorry but I have noo idea bro

[robust grotto]

duude yeah. he's good tbf, Boston does well @ G

[dim ledge]

swaymans kits for his youth team

[robust grotto]

Linus Ullmark legit told Buffalo he was going to Boston and there's nothing they can do hahahah

[short flame]

No idea what?

[robust grotto]

Barrett Heiden

Hayton from Coyotes?

[robust grotto]

logo is dope, wtf

[short flame]

You answered the message

[short flame]

No former rangers player

[short flame]

Future nhl side when they go to 41 teams

[dim ledge]

yep

the sea wolves

[short flame]

@robust grotto

[robust grotto]

Oh man, really I do not remember this player lmfao I'm so sorry

[dim ledge]

dude

this is fire

lmfao

[robust grotto]

oh

man LMAO

they took the caps design

[dim ledge]

simple

yeah seems so

[short flame]

I’m not surprised he played 10 nhl games

[dim ledge]

it bothers me how much i love the flyers kit

[robust grotto]

not that it's a bad thing

[dim ledge]

LITERALLY yeah

wow

[robust grotto]

still cool imo

[dim ledge]

one of my favourite kit matchups ever btw

[robust grotto]

and this was a 3rd that they used at the time

[dim ledge]

wayne simmonds man

[robust grotto]

duuude yeah

[dim ledge]

i remember him on philly

[robust grotto]

idc, I agree on PHI

Simmonds 100% will be remembered as a flyer

[dim ledge]

of course the best ever is this

so happy i have this kit

ahhhhh

[robust grotto]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_qBjo-4_Xc

[dim ledge]

i remember dubs lmao

[robust grotto]

hahahahah maaaaaaaaaaan

different times

[short flame]

Too many white jerseys makes me not like white jerseys but this one somehow is an exception

[robust grotto]

it looks great in person

the C-H is felt too

bro holy shit I didn't even know these existed

[short flame]

Look there in the middle

[robust grotto]

@dim ledge

[dim ledge]

wait deadass?

[robust grotto]

I've seen the others but never the diagonal

[dim ledge]

Oh oh

Nvm

Yea

[robust grotto]

that's kinda cool, almost more for football though

[short flame]

That #4 is one of the coolest designs ever

[robust grotto]

they stopped wearing it bc Ottawa used hoops too

[short flame]

It does kind of look like river yes

[short flame]

What’s hoops? And they should wear it back it’s peak

[robust grotto]

a stripe but it goes around the whole shirt - front to back

[short flame]

And that’s an issue why?

[robust grotto]

idk I guess in person the two jerseys clashed. just too many stripes

[short flame]

I guess if they face each other but you can use the away shirt

[torn gale]

I believe the pistons move into the top 5 longest losing streaks in nba history tonight

[hasty mesa]

Era of elite

Meanwhile nowadays

[rustic mountain]

Unfair, Tua's numbers are inflated due to chef russ and the Broncos being ass for a while

[robust grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/krabs-money-gif-25124932

[proud coyote]

they're not better now but this isn't an indicator

[desert palm]

lol

[proud coyote]

defenses are better against the pass having adjusted to the rules + teams are utilizing the run more effectively

[robust grotto]

please yoshinobu.. one poop year and then 2025 we're all in... we'll get roki and whoever else

[desert palm]

1, 2, and 3 all Japanese would be insane and awesome

For a Rotation

[robust grotto]

I'm reaching ofc.. Mets cope lol

[desert palm]

The Vanderbilt prospect don’t forget him

[robust grotto]

but yeah it's not like we have much of a rotation rn that screams future stability

[desert palm]

The high school prospect from Japan that hit the most home runs in Japanese high school history

[robust grotto]

first i ever heard tbh

[desert palm]

He decided to skip the NPB and go straight to America

[robust grotto]

so he left Japan and is now playing college at Vanderbilt

that's actually really interesting

[desert palm]

I don’t know if he officially decided on a college yet but he was linked to Vanderbilt at numerous occasions

[robust grotto]

but he has rights to a NPB team yeah?

or other way around i mean

[desert palm]

He straight up, did not apply to the NPB draft

[robust grotto]

oh wow

I don't even know what to say

[desert palm]

It’s only happened 2 other times, and it was not big prospect players, and they didn’t go very far

[robust grotto]

is there a pro minor league system in NPB

[rustic ore]

Y’all see this yet? https://vxtwitter.com/espn/status/1735102617074704470

https://tenor.com/view/ha-ha-nelson-the-simpsons-gif-14411011

[desert palm]

Teams do you have a farm system but it’s much smaller than the MLB and first rounders are basically in the professionals immediately

He was projected to be like top 3 pick

[short flame]

Did he win koshien?

[desert palm]

Took a little bit to find the answer, but no, his high school team lost in the quarterfinals

Rintaro Sasaki is his name btw

First time in Japanese baseball history, where a top Japanese prospect decided to skip the NPB

[robust grotto]

nice! I don't know baseball enough to tell you if college route is common for mlb

[simple seal]

Pistons equal their longest losing streak at 21 (back in 1980)

[desert palm]

Highly

[short flame]

Disappointing

[desert palm]

Teams actually prefer college players over drafting straight from high school nowadays

Of course, drafting straight from high school is still a thing, but like if you see the most recent draft, most of the top 20 picks were from college besides a few

[short flame]

I only rate players that win koshien

[desert palm]

Wow

So 140 home runs in the past Japanese high school season is not enough for you I guess

[short flame]

Koshien > World Series am I right go?

[desert palm]

The vibe is crazy in the Koshien

From what I’ve heard, and watched on YouTube

[desert palm]

Stands go wild with chants and what not

[robust grotto]

thanks! never knew

[short flame]

That’s why it’s peak

[robust grotto]

and the regular draft is domestic

[desert palm]

Dude is a straight beast

[desert palm]

Yes

[robust grotto]

you see thats the one thing about hockey, the draft is worldwide

[short flame]

Did shohei win koshien go?

[robust grotto]

nba as well

[desert palm]

The MLB was thinking about doing some form of an international draft but it’s very complicated. Apparently there’s some politics involved also and they couldn’t come up with a reasonable solution that the players union agreed with and also David Ortiz, and a bunch of Dominican players have said that it probably would be worse for those young prospects

[desert palm]

There’s a reason why he is dubbed “The Japanese Prince Fielder”

[short flame]

Cool nickname

[robust grotto]

very complicated would be the right phrase for sure lol

[desert palm]

He did not. His team also lost at some point in the tournament.

[short flame]

The jays didn’t miss out on anything

[desert palm]

However, at 18 years old in high school at the koshien he tied the fastest pitch thrown in NPB history which at the time was 100MPH or 160KMPH

This was broken in 2018 by Roki Sasaki at 101MPH or 162KMPH

[desert palm]

Prince Fielder. By the way, famous Brewer.

Beast power hitter

[short flame]

Go brewskis

[short flame]

Still he didn’t win the biggest baseball trophy

[desert palm]

Do you wanna know the nickname?

[short flame]

Go ahead

[desert palm]

The Brew Crew

[short flame]

[desert palm]

Or just brew crew

[short flame]

Brewskis sounds better

[desert palm]

I dare you to join the Brewers discord and just say that and I want to see the reaction

lol

[short flame]

Why? Who doesn’t want to drink a brewski during a brewskis game

[desert palm]

Not his fault the high school he was in benched him at the final game which was a winner or lose situation to go to the summer koshien parents made several phone calls to the school complaining about the benching

Shintaro Fujinami who is currently a relief pitcher in the Orioles did win it for his team in high school

[short flame]

Why was he benched?

[short flame]

This guy deserves an even bigger contract

[desert palm]

That’s what the article said I don’t know the details why though they even were confused based on how it was written

[desert palm]

lol he was pretty decent in the NPB Nothing spectacular though the team that he was in decided to post him probably because they thought that they can get some value out of him which they did they got some money

But he was horrible as a starter in the Athletics organization

[dim kettle]

https://fixupx.com/Sportsnet/status/1735141314356777213?s=20

[short flame]

Disgusting

Fire ukko pekka, fire that defender, fire Donnie meatballs

I want Craig berube

[desert palm]

His true strengths really started showing when he was early-middle of the season they decided to make him relief, and he was actually surprisingly competent at relief pitching

So he was traded at the trade deadline to the Orioles organization, and actually did pretty well still nothing spectacular though

[dim kettle]

Most Sabres defenders:

[short flame]

Already 2-0

[desert palm]

@dim kettle what do you think of this new nickname that Sanjuan came up with for the Brewers

[short flame]

Not a single shot on target

[short flame]

Peak

Peak

[dim kettle]

Sounds like something Zack Ryder would come up with.

[desert palm]

Hehe

[short flame]

I can assure you that’s not me

[dim kettle]

Nothing like his broskis drinking some brewskis

[dim kettle]

3-0

[short flame]

Absolutely

[short flame]

Don’t spoil me please

Eric Johnson is throwing the game

[dim kettle]

You can't spoil something that is already predictable.

[short flame]

Any decent coach would drop him

Guy clearly wants the avs to win

No shame

[desert palm]

I still can’t believe of all the non-World Series winners you chose the Brewers. I thought you were going to choose the Padres or even the Mariners

[dim kettle]

The Bolts terrible defense at least has the excuse that they're forced to play AHLers because of the cap. Sabres just curl up in the fetal position.

[dim kettle]

Most people didn't even know where Milwaukee was until a certain Greek Freak became known.

[short flame]

Mariners were second, padres dead last, brewers won by far

[desert palm]

I know, but still shocking man

[desert palm]

Initially, I read that as geek freak

Green Bay is not far

[dim kettle]

Green Bay. More like Brown Bay

[short flame]

It doesn’t help when your top signing this summer is throwing the game. Guy’s celebrating when the avs score, also ukko pekka in goal you’re already sure you’re not winning that game

[desert palm]

I’m surprised Wisconsin never had an opportunity for an NHL team

[dim kettle]

It's the market.

[desert palm]

Isn’t like Wisconsin also one of those north USA hockey loving states

[dim kettle]

Not much interest there.

[desert palm]

Reallllly?!?

Right next to Minnesota and Michigan

Two of the hottest hockey markets in USA

How

[rustic mountain]

Football

Wisconsin loves football

Like a fuck load

[dim kettle]

It's basically the same reason why you don't see a Pittsburgh basketball team. The city just can't support it.

[rustic mountain]

I genuinely think they could. I assume city proclivities pay a role

[dim kettle]

But you also got to look at it like this. Wisconsin is not that big compared to other markets. And you then have the added bonus that there's the Canadian markets with teams. You saw how long it took for another team to come back to Winnipeg.

[desert palm]

I wouldn’t recommend a juju profile picture

“He who shall not be named” used an opening of their as his walk up song

lol

[desert palm]

Pittsburgh can only support the Steelers because they love them to death and the penguins because it’s easier to support an NHL team in a city like Pittsburgh. But look at the Pirates man it’s not so simple.

There the epitome of Fairweather fans over there

OK that’s a little mean but like

They don’t come to games if they’re not good

[dim kettle]

You can't really blame them for not supporting the Pirates, they've ran that organization into the ground since the 90s

[desert palm]

Hundred percent but truthfully I should say 13 to 15 the attendance was extremely high in PNC Park

And that was because those were the good years

[dim kettle]

It's amazing just how ancient it feels since the days of We are Family.

[desert palm]

It wasn’t just in the playoffs. It was in the regular season also.

God I love Gaus

[short flame]

By the way Sab, shohei never won koshien. You’re better off

[rustic mountain]

I am always going to want Shohei to fail and for the Dodgers to fail

[short flame]

Me too

[rustic mountain]

But I am trying to be more positive about the players who want to be here

Like Gaus

[short flame]

Any player who doesn’t win koshien deserves to fail

[short flame]

Good to hear, look at the positive side

[rustic mountain]

Gonna be a while but we will get there

Tbh all this just made me love the Jays more. Also learned to hate a whole buncha people

[short flame]

If it makes you feel better, sabres are 3-1 down. You can laugh at Buffalo

[warm kestrel]

Vikings-Raiders are getting their own Greatest Game video. 💀

[rustic mountain]

Nahh no need to hate

[short flame]

I just realized you have mordecay as your pfp

[rustic mountain]

Indeed I do

[short flame]

I thought it was the jays since you put it

Peak pfp

[rustic mountain]

Lmao I mean he is a blue jay and I love early regular show seasons

So it fit

[short flame]

Oh didn’t know he was that. Nice to know

[rustic mountain]

Yuhh

[short flame]

Oh king Henrik is talking I’ll see you in a bit. Gotta hear the goat talk

[silk cloak]

they really suspensed the goat instigator wtf

[short flame]

Henrik is so wise. Those other guys were defending the sabres being 3-1 down because of the altitude and he reminded them that you shouldn’t play stupid no matter the height

Bassit and Gaus going innnn

[dim ledge]

im slightly confused

Lions good
Michigan in playoffs
Red wings decent (?)
Pistons

[weak gull]

Tigers- extreme mid

[dim ledge]

....

i always forget baseball

always

[rustic mountain]

It's fine man

I am that way with soccer

[dim ledge]

im curious vinny, since you hate the packers, do you also hate the brewers

[weak gull]

Not really tbh

[rustic mountain]

He'd hate teams like the white sox

Guardians

Twins

[dim ledge]

i am absolutely brain dead with baseball you have to forgive me

[weak gull]

No rooting interest but definitely don’t hate em.

Hate the Yankees and guardians primarily

[dim ledge]

i went to one baseball game ever and it was the mets getting bent over by....

the dodgers

[rustic mountain]

Tigers are in the AL central

[weak gull]

Twins not much tbh. That’s the Minnesota soft spot speaking though

[rustic mountain]

So their rivals are pretty heavily probably gonna be Guardians considering they probably have had the most success as of late

Tigers used to be the top dogs cats for a while

But they weren't able to get a title

[weak gull]

Only 3 teams in baseball I will really only root against

Cardinals
Yankees
Guardians

[dim ledge]

the only thing i know about baseball is a Greek man fucked Chicago over for a century

and i think thats pretty cool

[dim ledge]

I have a vested interest in the Giants so i was fairly cognisant of their division

[weak gull]

Not a big astros guy either

[rustic mountain]

Dodgers

Yankees = Astros

[dim ledge]

n yeah i know the astros are public enemy #1 for some reason

[rustic mountain]

So same kinda boat

Oh and fuck the Red Sox

[dim ledge]

cheating?

[rustic ore]

Cheating

[dim ledge]

cheating.

[rustic ore]

That’s the reason

[weak gull]

This too but it’s Boston so that’s a given for me

[rustic mountain]

Understandable

[dim ledge]

i could probably name all these teams

[rustic mountain]

Once Canada gets an nfl team I'll join you on that boat Vinny

[dim ledge]

i dont like the phillies either. i have to deal with two relatives who are phillies fans and like

one is cool, the other is an asshole

[rustic ore]

And they were allowed to keep their pennant the season they did cheat and ultimately win the WS, so they ultimately failed no real consequence

[weak gull]

At least pats are general New England. Not just Boston

If they were the Boston Patriots…they’d definitely be in my top 5 most hated

[rustic mountain]

I will love the team forever. Even if sometimes I hate em

But my rooting interest would 1000% go maple leaf land

[rustic ore]

NFL fandom is an abusive relationship sometimes

[rustic mountain]

It was good to me for a while

I can't deny that

I got way more than I deserved and I am thankful

But god damn losing sucks dong

[weak gull]

Keep it up

[rustic mountain]

It's that kinda attitude that made yall lose to the Bears

[weak gull]

Consistency is key

[dim ledge]

ive come to realise something

i dont tend to hate teams-i tend to hate fanbases of teams

[rustic mountain]

Oh I do both

It's great

[weak gull]

Idk what Aaron Glenn’s attitude is so idk man

I forgot that they play Saturday

[rustic mountain]

Petty for no reason like me I am sure

[weak gull]

And not Sunday

[rustic mountain]

Although the city of LA has earned my pettiness for a lifetime

[weak gull]

I need to catch another game before the seasons out

[rustic mountain]

I hope ya do

And I hope they make ya proud

[celest zephyr]

Baskmetball

[rustic mountain]

Yep

[weak gull]

Ima try. Won’t be home til the 20th though so Denver one is out of question

[rustic ore]

See I can do both, but generally my hate/disdain is more directed towards owners or key players

[rustic mountain]

It's okay you can skip Russ's meal that day

[rustic ore]

Like NO, fuck NO

Bountygate aside their scandal with the Catholic Church was fucked up. Not gonna get more into it since it’s a hot topic but you can use your imagination

It’s make me sad that they have genuinely great human beings like Demario Davis working for them

Staffs:
Anyone who ever coached for the Jets
Tony Dungy

Yep

Oh so that’s why you hate BB

Among other reasons

Friend would you like to add something or did you just want to say random things in here?

[honest umbra]

i prefer to spout random things

[silk cloak]

wwhat the fuck

giannis got 64 points

[honest umbra]

yea

hes diff

but pacers took the game ball

[silk cloak]

64 pts in 37 min

[honest umbra]

32 fts

[silk cloak]

if the bucks had better perimeter defense id swear theyd be the scariest team in the league rn

[honest umbra]

what about brook and portis?

also holiday is gone

[silk cloak]

beasley + dame defense cant quite cut it but if dame shows up the tradeoff might be better

[honest umbra]

yea but in playoffs

are u taking dames offense

or holidays defense

obv dame is insane, everybody remembers his iconic performances

but hope they dont get exposed

[silk cloak]

prob dame atm

playoff holiday got absolutely cooked

[honest umbra]

oh yea holidays sucked in boston

hasnt he lol

[honest umbra]

heat did that to everyone tbf

[silk cloak]

havent been watching much celtics games

[honest umbra]

me either

usually just lakers games

[silk cloak]

their team actually looks better this year

[honest umbra]

love jaime

i watch ucla so i knew hed be a baller

[silk cloak]

theygot rid of strus and now got duncan some more minutes

[honest umbra]

him being picked 1 after lakers pick was kinda yeesh

[silk cloak]

bro is legit nba ready

[honest umbra]

vincent too

[silk cloak]

fr

[honest umbra]

but i guess the guy we picked is younger and more of a prospect

like we did with max christie

[silk cloak]

how far do you think the lakers will get this year

[honest umbra]

if we're turned on

very far

the IST showed more of a playoff attitude

[silk cloak]

i still dont see them overcoming the nuggets since jokic cooks ad

[honest umbra]

yea nuggets are our bane

but think we can beat anyone else in the west

in the playoffs

[silk cloak]

lakers have really good wing defense

[honest umbra]

yea vando, reddish are insane

AD on the inside

[dim ledge]

could be lakers bucks this year

and idk fate i mean...i dont watch nba as much as i should but i think dame is a much bigger asset to the bucks than having holidays d

[honest umbra]

agreed

[dim ledge]

especially considering that they have giannis whos a monster on d

[honest umbra]

but my point is holidays defense is greater value in playoffs

because dame doesnt have that to his game

at the same time, dame can score 50

and it wont matter

[dim ledge]

hoop said it but

holiday wasnt so hot in playoffs

Huh

[honest umbra]

basically if theyre getting rid of friedman or walter, it might suggest dodgers going into a rebuilt or something

and he might not wanna stick around for that

[proud coyote]

yeah

seems pretty reasonable

[slow violet]

Not stick around for generations changing money ?

[proud coyote]

he's gonna get it either way if he's opting out lol

like, he won't opt out if another team won't pay him a ton

this clause is for if they fail to win and three years in they fire the front office/clean house

to try and recuperate some money

Ok folks—start Purdy or Mahomes this week?

I’d normally start Purdy but KC could thrash the patriots idk

[proud coyote]

Two things about KC vs NE
-NE’s defense isn’t bad
-Their offense is anemic

I could see it being against Mahomes in terms of game script

purdy on the other hand, also a gamescript situation as the cards aren’t great, but they’ve been playing teams closer for the most part since they got Kyler back

And SF’s offense is just more efficient than KC

I’d say the higher percentage play is Purdy, but it’s close yeah

[fleet orbit]

I would start Brock

[slow violet]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if NE beat KC

Actually I wouldn't even be surprised if NE embarrassed KC

[torn gale]

I don’t think the chiefs are struggling that bad to get blown out by ne

Steelers just blow

It might be close but they aren’t gonna get blown out

Don’t think they’ll lose either

[slow violet]

They have almost been blown out 3 games.this season and one game they got blown out

But mahomes was sick tha game so I'll let it slide

[sacred kite]

Thanks guys @proud coyote @fleet orbit

I’ll probably stick with Purdy. But NE’s offense being poor makes me want to start KC’s defense ngl

[fleet orbit]

That might be a good idea

[slow violet]

Purdy guaranteed 2tds minimum for the remainder of the season

[sacred kite]

Lineup atm:

I think I’ll be OK this week lol

[fleet orbit]

You’re pretty strong at WR

[slow violet]

Meyers vs LAC might be pretty good

[fleet orbit]

If the chiefs lose to the patriots the broncos might win the division

[slow violet]

Is he hurt ,?

[fleet orbit]

I think the chiefs will beat the patriots . The Steelers game says nothing the pats are sorry

[sacred kite]

Meyers has been sooooo inconsistent ngl

[slow violet]

ya true but every time I put him on the bench he pops off lol

[sacred kite]

Also yeah, Brown and Aiyuk have been carrying my WRs

Buuuut Meyers could do ok against the chargers hmmm

[slow violet]

I'm judging this more on not the Steelers game but just Andy always been struggling vs bill

[fleet orbit]

But those teams that Tom

But I do hope the Eagles clap them on Christmas

True I guess

[robust grotto]

Hahah I feel that. You guys will spank us like always. He’s from two towns over from me

Whole area is just going nuts about him. Fun to watch this unfold

Giants got his dad to do a radio ad from them lmfao

[sacred kite]

Yeah I love the buzz around him, the whole homegrown underdog vibe

[robust grotto]

“Hey this is Big Tom DeVito, father of Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito” word for word lmao

I’ll try to catch it next time and post it

[torn gale]

Nah Devito will win on Christmas

Y’all can have week 18

[slow violet]

Devito is what we need in this sport. A QB that is a reflection of his market

[torn gale]

We have a worse record this year yet we have more divisional wins this year

[fleet orbit]

Because the giants seem to always beat up on Washington

[torn gale]

Wouldn’t have it any other way

Is he entitled to the ball?

[celest zephyr]

Not like the team is either

Unless they pay for the balls themselves

[short flame]

Who should get the ball in that situation?

[celest zephyr]

Honestly game balls are usually just given to who performs well

And considering Giannis had 64 points

In all honesty a team doesn’t have to give it

But also they really don’t have a reason not to

Refusing imo is just bad sportsmanship

Unless you have a player you want to give it to

Which the pacers really did not have anyone that performed exceptionally well

That’s just a sad team. Give the guy his ball

That is fair

He is bar none the most reliable MLB journalist

[smoky fable]

Only guy I follow along with local coverage reporters

Also, I don’t know why I didn’t say it sooner or why it didn’t come up sooner, but a trade would be the best on both sides of the Patriots and Belichek wouldn’t you say? Draft pick compensation for the pats, while Belichek chases after Halas and Shula for the all time coaching wins record with a new team. @rustic mountain

More beneficial than a forced retirement.

[rustic mountain]

I would like it but at this point I don't care I just wanna restart

If we trade him cool, but just get him out

Bro hired Saul

That the word ‘disgrace’ used by MA in the Interviews ‘has a very similar spelling and pronunciation to the Spanish ‘desgracia’ … the Spanish word has connotations of misfortune, tragedy or bad luck rather than the connotations of the English equivalent which suggest contempt, dishonour or disrespect. While the English meaning may lead to interpretations of abuse or insult, this was not the intended meaning of the Comments’.

Genius from whoever came up with this argument.

There’s no way that many people support Man City

[robust grotto]

Unfortunately I believe it probably is, man city get pushed here more than any other club. Every commercial is about man city. they make sure to broadcast every city game, even against dross. They’ll even bring up city during the halftime show for a WHU/CP game. It’s ridiculous.

[dawn tapir]

Joe flacco finally signed that one year deal with the browns. Could he lead them to success and glory in the playoffs. He is the Elite Dragon after all

[burnt cedar]

Nobody speaks about City at all

Teams would rather City win the league so it stops Arsenal Liverpool United etc

Don’t think I’ve even met a City fan

[robust grotto]

Yep I know that first hand only bc talking to fellow hammers, they don’t understand why I hate City so much

[burnt cedar]

West Ham lowkey might have more fans than City here

Good.

I was in Manchester on the day of the final last June

But it was also the same day as some festival

And the station area was just littered with women dressed like they were in Miami… and BARELY any city fans

[burnt cedar]

United must have like 90% of Manchester

They’re the most supported club in England

Then Arsenal Liverpool Chelsea in that order

[robust grotto]

But considering there’s only one good City in England they all feel subpar to me

[robust grotto]

Dude I was gonna ask actually

[burnt cedar]

West Ham have all of east London while Spurs aren’t even the biggest club in their area

There’s more Arsenal fans in Tottenham than Tottenham fans

All of North London it’s 95% Arsenal

[robust grotto]

And then ofc so many people with east London roots moved out to Essex

[burnt cedar]

Yep

[robust grotto]

That’s where I spent most of my time

[burnt cedar]

Also the new stadium

I’m sure that’s expanded the fanbase

[robust grotto]

Hopefully, I wanna say they have amongst the cheapest home tickets in the league

So hopefully more kids are able to watch than back up Upton park

West Ham would never struggle to sell out imo

Even in the championship I’m sure they could attract a crowd

Upton Park was a class stadium but West Ham got too big for it

Chargers always get me with the preseason predictions. If that hurts me, I could only imagine how my older bro is doing.

[torn gale]

I imagine we will get some very interesting interviews post game

[rustic ore]

If I'm reading this correctly the Raiders are gonna drop from 6 to 10 in the draft and Chargers are gonna pop up from 10 to 5 after this game

But that's of course before the other games this week

[dim kettle]

So they can draft more players to get wasted by the Bolts machine.

At least they'll have nice uniforms when they make the 7 of their fans sad every week.

[rustic ore]

I'm reading that right yeah? Raiders from 6 to 10 and Chargers from 10 to 5?

[proud coyote]

thought it was pronounced "floors"

should have known from this hair cut

[rustic ore]

What a stud

He's had disappointed father-in-law energy since the 80s

[dim kettle]

He got lost in the shuffle.

[hasty mesa]

By the way

Chargers fans are HAPPY

[rustic ore]

As they should be

[dim kettle]

Tree was saying something like that this past Sportsball

[rustic ore]

A primetime drumming? Against a team that couldn't score a singular point last week?

[hasty mesa]

Unironically Herbert may have just increased the confidence in him as franchise QB

[proud coyote]

that defense is way too talented for this

so obsurd

[hasty mesa]

Without playing

[dawn tapir]

this season has been very chaotic.

[rustic ore]

On paper

[hasty mesa]

So is the answer for Chargers fire everyone and get yourself Belichek lol

[rustic ore]

Hell no

[proud coyote]

they're weak at linebacker but nowhere else

[dim kettle]

My Bro is trying to tell me this

[rustic ore]

What go DT do they have?

[hasty mesa]

I think fire everyone is step 1

[rustic ore]

They are completely top heavy at OLB

No decent CB outside of Samuel Jr

No decent Safety outside of James

[hasty mesa]

Fire everyone and let new coach cook after drafting defense

Offense still has enough talent yeah?

[rustic ore]

Yeah

[proud coyote]

michael davis is a good possession corner

[hasty mesa]

With Herbert Allen Ekeler

[dim kettle]

The Chargers have talent all around. But what's the most common problem for the Chargers since the days after Schottenheimer? Coaching.

[hasty mesa]

Hence the joy of being blown out

[rustic ore]

Actually the real most common problem since those days is Spanos

[hasty mesa]

The narrative that this is all Herbert’s fault can die

[rustic ore]

But sadly you can't fire owners

Different note

[dim kettle]

Well, obviously. But they get everything right but that.

[rustic ore]

I'll miss you Glas and Manny 🫡

[dim kettle]

Got there first!

[rustic ore]

@honest umbra

[slate lance]

This all setting up for Belichick to be a charger

[dim kettle]

I don't get upset with these kind of things anymore. The Rays machine does things to you.

[rustic ore]

WAIT

I just realized something

If O'Connell throws 1 more TD he'll break the rookie record for passing TDs in a game

That'd be insane

Do it kid!

[proud coyote]

best nickname in the NFL

AOC

[dim kettle]

I can already see being on Twitter wanting a salary cap in baseball more than ever with this trade and declaring the Dodgers 2024 champs without realizing the Dodgers will find ways to lose when it matters most.

[dawn tapir]

wait he's a rookie? why did i think he was a backup for years lol.

[rustic ore]

Right?

Easy to forget

Hope he gets the record, it'd be such a fun, unexpected NFL stat fact

[smoky fable]

I didn’t even realize that

All I know is Staley is gone after this

[hasty mesa]

This is cool

[rustic ore]

You're cool

Gottem

[hasty mesa]

Also it’s hilarious how all these backup out of nowhere rookies are doing better than Bryce

[hasty mesa]

Thank you

[rustic ore]

Nice run by Zeus

[dim kettle]

I never got to O'Connell in my scouting.

[rustic ore]

I mean he's a 4th round pick for a reason

He's smaller at 6'1 and older for a rookie at 25

[dim kettle]

Yeah, but I got to Sam Howell who was a 5th round pick

[rustic ore]

Also played at Purdue

Not exactly a powerhouse

[hasty mesa]

What’s your take of Tommy Devito over these last few games? Or at least of how Daboll develops his QBs

[proud coyote]

at this point it'd be more impressive if he didn't get it

[dim kettle]

I feel like it's more of Daboll's doing than Devito. He's just not making mistakes.

[proud coyote]

devito is solid, might be another heinicke situation

[rustic ore]

And a facemask to extend the Raiders drive

[proud coyote]

either way you're going to want to pick a QB

[haughty moss]

https://tenor.com/view/ripbozo-bozo-james-worthy-james-cigar-cigar-gif-26757613

[smoky fable]

Can see them picking Jayden Daniels

[dawn tapir]

yup tons of QBs getting drafted in 2024.

[rustic ore]

1st and goal

[dim kettle]

I can see both the Giants and Raiders trading up to get a QB. That's if the Bears decide not to pick Caleb

[hasty mesa]

Someone said Daboll and Schoen should pull a pseudo Niners. Draft QB and have Tommy, Daniel, and the rookie fight for the job in the summer

To decide starter

[sacred kite]

Man the chargers are getting SMOKED

[rustic ore]

Bastards, Meyers to Adams TD
