Let’s be real if it wasn’t for Bettman’s insistence on keeping them there they’d have been gone long ago
Salt Lake City is good but idk i wouldn’t hate Houston either

I get that the whole coyotes situation is because of bettman wanting desert hockey
And that is why, even though it probably was possible for the original jets to stay
It was insisted they moved to Arizona
But what I don’t understand is how come no one cares about them moving at all
I feel like even the rays have more sympathy from their fans if that team theoretically had to move

But what I don’t understand is how come no one cares about them moving at all
Because this arena / moving saga is like 10-15 years old. Everyone tired of this story. They currently play at an arena that’s on a college campus

It’s a very difficult place to build a team in. You need success or tourist attraction to make a team like that work in the middle of the desert. It’s difficult enough to build a hockey fanbase, but I don’t know I think it’s even harder building one where the kids can’t even practice the sport. Still it sucks because I’m sure there’s still a decent amount of fans and I don’t like seeing a team be relocated
But I also don’t know what’s the point of announcing the stadium if you don’t have approval to build it. Seems like bad management. Did they think the pressure would help getting the approval
dim kettle
Arizona is a fair-weather area for sports. All of the other teams in the area have had attendance issues when they sucked before. Not only the Yotes. The Yotes needed to be good to get the attention. The Bolts won the cup in 04. It saved the team in Tampa.

Another thing is that the owners did not want to put money in the roster but bc NHL has a cap they had to make sure they were at least on the cap floor.. so the genius strategy they developed was trading for players that will never play again but are still on the books to be paid

hasty mesa
The nature of one game elimination alone
But even outside of that, narratives that build towards that one game for those two fanbases, or nationally
Plus the intensity and game speed of regular season vs playoffs
Especially in 4th quarters
I won’t pretend I’m well versed in other sports tho
But regular season ain’t better
fleet orbit
I would argue the problem for me comes from the commercialism the nfl is guilty of during the playoffs
Besides the football , the Super Bowl hasn’t been a product I look fondly on for awhile
hasty mesa
I would argue the problem for me comes from the commercialism the nfl is guilty...
You mean this:
I don’t like the gambling
hasty mesa
Besides the football , the Super Bowl hasn’t been a product I look fondly on for...
In what way
For me I’m just sick of the Chiefs
fleet orbit
The gambling is to be fair a sports wide problem I hate sports gambling
short flame
I would argue the problem for me comes from the commercialism the nfl is guilty...
Hasn’t it always been commercial?@
hasty mesa
The actual gambling will always exist and I can handle that.
The problem is the NFL has to bow their knee to these gambling platforms for ad revenue
fleet orbit
For me I’m just sick of the Chiefs
A bunch of lousy commercials , super sterile half time shows (imho) and I guess I am just a little salty about the fact that I haven’t felt emotionally super fulfilled by a Super Bowl result lately
hasty mesa
A bunch of lousy commercials , super sterile half time shows (imho) and I guess ...
Commercials got worse over the years for sure
I think Usher killed it tho
But that’s more subjective
fleet orbit
I think usher was a solid show but I guess I hate how bland the mixes feel for the actual songs
Idk I like a more raw unpolished live music mix but that’s just me
short flame
I’ll always struggle with the half time show because even if the artists do well, it’s simply a style of music I don’t like
The day they make a superbowl in Texas with zz top I’ll enjoy (it will never happen)
celest zephyr
So why not just pay guys who can be on the ice. What does they gain from it?
They can suck ass
And also it’s pretty much a free way to develop prospects
hasty mesa
I think the Super Bowl is still emotionally fulfilling to me as the finale of the season, lessened by the fact that the Chiefs win so much now
celest zephyr
Cuz they aren’t going to have vets that will take their spots
hasty mesa
Like when the Rams won, just seeing those players celebrate, cry, yell
worthy dust
oh my GOD mavericks are so good. RING ME

I think people need to stop criticizing the rams for spending and investing their way into a ring
They got punished for good business
celest zephyr
Any other team would do it lol

It sure as hell worked and now they look fine
celest zephyr
They did have that one awful year

Love that song
ZZ Top has some really good tracks
hasty mesa
All in can get you a ring
celest zephyr
And Donald has retired so it’s hard to say
celest zephyr
It’s worth it ofc but long term they aren’t going to do so hot for a while
short flame
ZZ Top has some really good tracks
It’s in my top 5 all time Bands
celest zephyr
Cuz they aren’t in the top eschelon and there’s no real path for them to get there at the moment
hasty mesa
It’s worth it ofc but long term they aren’t going to do so hot for a while
Drafting Puca may have saved their skin
fleet orbit
It’s in my top 5 all time Bands
Hey a music conversation is something we can chat about feel free to dm
hasty mesa
Rework defense and hope Stafford can still play at an elite level when asked to
fleet orbit
The problem is how to overcome the chiefs
hasty mesa
Isn’t it crazy how they literally drafted a second Cooper Kupp
fleet orbit
No one in the nfc has done it besides Brady and no Brady led team has done it besides burrow
hasty mesa
The problem is how to overcome the chiefs
That’s everyone
Burrow is still him, question is if he’s on his way to being Andrew Luck
fleet orbit
Burrow is still him, question is if he’s on his way to being Andrew Luck
I could say the same about Herbert too
hasty mesa
Herbert is good but I’m not ready to compare him to Burrow
That tier belongs to Allen Lamar and Burrow
With King Kermit at the top
fleet orbit
I’m not saying as far as quality I’m saying could they get hurt for a lack of support
The bengals o line sucks
rustic mountain
All in can get you a ring
They can however look at the absolute trash that is Denver rn
I'd argue the Rams haven't been shit either and now looking to be even worse
fleet orbit
They can however look at the absolute trash that is Denver rn
I would argue Denver’s current troubles are all predicated on a series of comedically awful decisions that all came after the title
Denver is a clown show rn
rustic mountain
I would argue those choices came because of the sell out mentality
fleet orbit
But they had a very solid roster that simply needed a QB
The Tim Tebow season was still fun to watch
rustic mountain
I actually don't really agree with that. Post Peyton, Denver wasn't exactly terrifying
The defense was on the down turn, the weapons weren't exactly amazing. They got pieces that had potential and they had a good safety in Simmons
But what pieces really blossomed?
That's just my two cents tho
fleet orbit
I still wonder what would’ve happened if over the years most of their notable recievers actually stayed consistent
smoky fable
But what pieces really blossomed?
Surtain is a main piece on that defense
rustic mountain
Eh
Like yeah
But again
Pieces with potential. Some good. Just not anything Id consider a qb away is all

hasty mesa
Speaking of Spurs, are they currently trying to tank for a generational athlete or something?
Maybe a titan of a player
celest zephyr
At least you don’t have the Blackhawks controversy?
robust grotto
yeah thats fair lol
celest zephyr
Also there were double digit teams then lol
The leafs haven’t won since there was only six teams in the league
celest zephyr
I’m just praying that the old fossil shanahan can finally leave

It’s hard to have hope when it’s just disappointment all the time
But then they do something and I think oh maybe they’ll finally win

For those who it crosses over for: Brandon Sanderson (fantasy author) found out that Wemby loved his books, so they met

@dim kettle random question
i remember you saying you buy mainly fitted caps
it seems im a 7 5/8, if i see something i like in a 7 3/4 is that like, a big difference/wearable at the slight increase?
or should i keep at the 7 5/8
rustic mountain
Do you like your hats loose or tight
rustic mountain
I'd just pop into a mall somewhere
Tbh
I did that for my hat size. Turns out my hair makes me an 8
dim ledge
the only Lids by me is in a dead mall and has no SFG stuff i like
dim ledge
well i do have tape measure, confident thats my size, but
rustic mountain
Yeah but fit matters too
If you feel comfortable with what you measured and you want it to fit right, I think you can go a bit bigger
But idk I'd be sure before buying
rustic mountain
Yeah so you'd be safe
But I admit I am not the best on it. I own hats and occasionally wear them but not too often

I'll tell you from my experience even though, you can't get it lol. Fitted caps are a crapshoot. My size is 7 3/8 but there are some 7 1/4 that fit me nicely too and some 7 3/8 hats that are tight. This is why I always like going to Lids to try them on before buying.
Fitted caps are not made equally.

I've been lucky to not been screwed by Fanatics.
I still have shirts from 4-5 years ago that still look good.

>fanatics
One of these two links should be perfectly fine for what you’re looking for and none of them are made from fanatics because they don’t do caps. I wish they didn’t do jerseys either, but it is what it is.
dim ledge
thing is like...i see others i like but i feel wrong not getting orange/at least a warm colour like gold on an sfg cap
rustic mountain
I am waiting on more fashionable styles for my jays
dim ledge
like this for example
rustic mountain
I have 5 different jays hats so I am good for now but Id like some new looks eventually
dim kettle
I've gotten like 3 Rays regular hats the last 5 years just because they start to brown and smell.
rustic mountain
I don't wear em enough to worry about that yet
dim ledge
or like this
I love green but this disturbs me
dim kettle
But the thing about these caps is the official online stores don't sell every hat. Lots of customs are made for local lids and team stores. I got a green Devil Rays hat I got from a Lids store in Tampa. You couldn't find it anywhere else.

cream i guess? or a more like...saturated/"darker"white

the mall by me that the Lids is in is on its last legs
but i got an auntie annes pretzel on the way out bc i love those mfs

thats insane
dim ledge
<@216582410756685824> what do you think of this one?
also, the bigger issue tbh than the cream white
is the white badge on the white hat
i get the stitching tries to make it pop but

It was listed as cream, but I hear what you’re saying
There was six full pages of caps for the part in that official MLB website they’re probably is something there that is to your liking

OJ's case was pretty much the walking definition of how our legal system works. You're innocent until proven guilty. The dumbass jury declared he was innocent. And he wants to get his shit back, which I think that was a set up to begin with. They basically double-jeopardy him to make up for their mistake the first time.
