3 goals in 4 games

[rustic mountain]

I'll answer it a bit differently than specifically KK. So obviously you can't have a complete liability AB player, however if I was constructing a lineup, I'd rather have multiple 15 to 20 homer dudes with decent gloves that pick up for my catcher and centre fielder maybe not raking but being gold to platinum level defenders. I would say my ideal centre fielder would be Varsho now but if he was just a bit better contact hitter

[desert palm]

Interesting

[rustic mountain]

A lot of people would rather have the 30 homer dude with a below average glove when I'd rather take a couple of 20 hr dudes with better gloves. A team of prime Nolan Arenados

But the caveat here is you need to have a pitching staff worth a damn

[short flame]

offside

[desert palm]

Interesting take

Personally, I have of the opinion that as long as it’s average defense, it’s good enough

But I understand why someone would prefer defense

[short flame]

I don’t know enough about baseball but I’m of the opinion that if the other team gets a point I’m disappointed. I need a strikeout the whole game

[desert palm]

Me too lol

[rustic mountain]

Everyone has a different take for sure. My thing is like yeah your Judges and Ohtanis are gonna hit homers, however, great pitching, great defense, and a lineup that gets on base beats a lineup with one to two dudes that could theoretically burn you, but you have the pitching to limit them

[desert palm]

Great pitching has always been a savior of teams. Just look at the Mariners.

Without their pitching, they would be in the White Sox boat

[rustic mountain]

Great pitching should always be the absolute priority

Bullpen and starter both. Get that sorted with great d and we will Rays them to death

[smoky fable]

Yep

Tbf it also comes at a dead spot in the sports schedule

Pretty much no international football outside of it, bunch of sports on summer break / Olympics break

Besides baseball there isn’t a lot to watch

[robust grotto]

It’s better !! 😞

[robust grotto]

Yeah you’re right fam. I’ve just been at work so I haven’t tuned in at all, I’m happy others are enjoying though

[hasty basin]

We have 0 medals there so my interest is....

[robust grotto]

Rip. I understand

That’s how I feel for summer lmfao. We only medal like kayaking or some crap

[desert palm]

@simple gazelle TBF with MLB, there’s a lot of Spanish, Latino and Asian, players in the league. So while back in the day it didn’t make so much sense, today I would say it quite fitting.

Based on the dodger’s pitching lineup this could be very scary

it's still english premier league or spanish la liga

I’m going to Disney world

[celest zephyr]

lol man if i was Romania, i would be SEETHING

lol even as an american that wasn't fair bro 😭 poor girl

[desert palm]

I’m just saying I think it makes more sense with the MLB. All the sports leagues there is definitely an argument as to why they do that and best I can is that it’s a traditional thing.

[celest zephyr]

why does it make sense for the MLB, because i think that same could be applied to the NBA

NFL is the only one i can see the argument falling

[dim kettle]

They only call it the WS because MLB is old enough when baseball was mainly a US thing and didn't care how hyperbole they were calling it the World Series.

[robust grotto]

Only dorks get offended by it any way

“But it’s just the US not the whole world” ahhhh stop it, you’ll be okay

[rustic mountain]

I usually see the people getting offended by it are also a lot of the same people who don't even give a shit about baseball

So it's just something to bitch about with the US

[robust grotto]

US bad !!

[rustic mountain]

"ah yes but REAL FOOTBALL has the WORLD CUP and MULTIPLE NATIONS PLAY" okay then go watch soccer my guy

[robust grotto]

“GUYS the US didn’t even medal in SHOOTING LOL”

[dim kettle]

Remember this. Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right.

[rustic mountain]

Idk. Maybe those countries hear about the US all the time or something and are tired of it? I am just used to hearing anti US stuff and usually just tune it out because it's almost always the same

[dim kettle]

Really. I do get GoTime in this though. I watch some Nippon Professional Baseball. How many people outside that part of the world actually know the Hanshin Tigers won the Japan Series last season? If the Yankees won the WS, everyone would know they won it.

Well Dru shouldn’t have been disrespectful and punched the ball out after the play was blown dead

There is some misinformation spread around that it was called the “World Series” because the first few were allegedly sponsored by “World News” - a news company practicing yellow journalism. However, a good number of researchers have debunked this claim.

It all makes sense now

I am now in favour of the name

[robust grotto]

[hasty basin]

Same shit happened with Endrick

They didn't need Endrick

Just bought him so no one else would

[robust grotto]

jersey sales lol

[dim ledge]

sick of it

[hasty basin]

That too yes

[dim ledge]

"oh let me stash a player for 4 years down the road"

i fucking despise them

i despise their model

i despise their fans

[short flame]

Same with James back then. Just wanted to keep him on the bench rather than let another club have him

[dim ledge]

i despise the fucking cityu

nuke it

[robust grotto]

that Turkish kid comes to mind hahahaha

[dim ledge]

im not even mad at guler

the only reason he didnt play like all season

[robust grotto]

imagine they only got him bc they know how much theyd make on kit sales

[dim ledge]

was because he picked up an ACL like on his first game

[robust grotto]

you KNOW Guler white kit is a certified hood classic in turkey

i mean germany

[hasty basin]

They do weirdly get

A lot of ACL injuries

I think they just got 2 new ones for academy players that played the friendlies

[robust grotto]

Bernabeu the MetLife of Europe?

[dim ledge]

and whats the other choice in that city?

atleti

[hasty basin]

Basically

[robust grotto]

thats actually embarrassing

i had no idea

[hasty basin]

Sounds like a Knicks Nets situation

[smoky fable]

Crazy

[robust grotto]

i was talking the acl issue/ambein atmosphere

[hasty basin]

Ah

[smoky fable]

I thought they got injured at the training grounds though

[hasty basin]

Rudiger almost injured Guler

We all know what the Turkish fans had to say

[smoky fable]

A lot of racist and vile comments?

[hasty basin]

Yup

[robust grotto]

sorta?? nets are bottom barrel in nyc. It's tough to compare RM/Atleti * to Knicks/Nets cause the Nets are that much of a joke

[hasty basin]

Yeah that's true

[smoky fable]

Mets Yankees maybe?

Both have had successful stints

[robust grotto]

probably yes, sadly for me lol

hockey just being too irrelevant (also sad)

[smoky fable]

They still have the 1986 one from bill buckner

Too bad none of us are that old to remember

[robust grotto]

1986

[smoky fable]

Yeah I misremembered

[robust grotto]

which was a great sports year in NY a

[smoky fable]

But look at you. You know automatically

Giants superbowl

[robust grotto]

giants won their first SB

[smoky fable]

Win against the broncos

[robust grotto]

yeah and something else

cant put my finger on what exactly

hmm. already past the Isles dynasty

rangers obv nothing

[smoky fable]

Actually the Knicks missed the playoffs that 86 season

[robust grotto]

ah, the hockey team in my parent's home city won the championship over a big team at the time *

[smoky fable]

Second year of Knicks Ewing

He was hurt though

[robust grotto]

oh damn

[smoky fable]

Yeah

They didn’t miss the playoffs till the early 2000s after though

[robust grotto]

I remember them being on TV a lot

everything here was yankees though 100%

honestly the last 10 years or so, with them being whatever, has really shown to me just how different that time was

[smoky fable]

Yeah it has

[celest zephyr]

cause I feel like the GM isnt going to move him anytime soon unless there is an offer that he cant refuse, so by the trade deadline, the steelers and patriots will start to get more desperate, so they will offer more for aiyuk

[robust grotto]

i feel that, i just think its awkward timing. the niners wont be able to replace that without making a big trade of their own. unless the rookie wr Pearsall ends up being the truth

[celest zephyr]

I have a good feeling about him tho

their GM has a good eye for recievers

[robust grotto]

that would be best case scenario 1000%

[celest zephyr]

[robust grotto]

i agree on the talent evaluation tho, they do well in sf

BREAKING: The 49ers have the framework of a Brandon Aiyuk trade with both the Browns and the Patriots, a source told @MaioccoNBCS.

Now it's up to Aiyuk to decide if he will accept either team's contract terms https://t.co/8DIfq9rQMV

Still alive. @rustic mountain

They're expected to include Bourne

I doubt for either of us tbh

Per David Lombardi @rustic mountain @proud coyote
"The terms the patriots have tabled with the 49ers remain unchanged"

[austere lava]

😘

[desert palm]

We are getting close to the ultimate meme

The A’s are 3 outs away from making the White Sox extend their losing streak to 21

[rustic mountain]

I don't think we end up with him, but if we do please take Judon he seems to want to make everything a headache rn

[desert palm]

Which makes it to only three more games for the official longest losing streak in the modern era

[proud coyote]

amari cooper to the 49ers if the browns trade happens

that's what we have to hope for

[dim ledge]

is that a good enough replacement

[proud coyote]

yes, it'd be him + picks

best we're going to get as the raiders trade won't happen

if it's with the patriots, it'll be kendrick bourne. who i love and was great for us but

is definitely worse than cooper

draft compensation would be most likely upped accordingly

but still

[rustic mountain]

I like KB but you can have him back if it means we get a genuine weapon

[proud coyote]

yeah it makes sense for both teams

bourne is a solid contributor and much cheaper

and fits our offense well

• we'd get picks

[rustic mountain]

I doubt it will be us though

[proud coyote]

from the sound of it

it's up to aiyuk

[rustic mountain]

Aiyuk already said he wouldn't sign a deal with us

[proud coyote]

the commanders and steelers deals aren't good enough

which makes sense given they have really nothing we'd want

[rustic mountain]

So I am kinda just like eh we keep our picks, we see if Polk and Baker have anything, try again next year

[proud coyote]

the steelers could offer their OG but he isn't phenomenal and is a free agent after this year

[rustic mountain]

Yeah you don't want rentals for Aiyuk

I'm convinced they're keeping him just to see how many Ls they could put on a Sox jersey and give it away at a game in 2025.

[dim ledge]

idk im not convinced by the prospect of having him

[trim timber]

Nah, we knew we aren't getting into that kind of a bidding war for a player. Especially with how Khan has been stacking up draft capital to build up the team. Volunteers, not hostages etc.

[proud coyote]

he is considerably worse than aiyuk, we'd need heavy draft compensation

and frankly, it would be more a move to set up future years

so I wouldn't hate it

[proper sable]

Our lack of run support was depressing
bases loaded several times
all led to nothing

I also think we should have kept abreu in for the 8th

[hasty basin]

Atletico are saving city

[thorn hornet]

Almost 100 mil for a fucking Julian Alvarez

City robbing them blind

Atleti let Samu go to Chelsea for a 50 mil and sign Alvarez for half of that is a bad deal lol

Felix should've have left instead

They have no natural striker now

[hasty basin]

Samu is pretty ass

[noble fractal]

Is this some sort of parallel universe

😭

Was for real expectating greece to get clowned on with a 30 pt difference how are these bums keeping up lmao

[proud coyote]

thomas walkup breakout game lol

hopefully they can drag it back

would be a gigantic upset

[dense blade]

I mean not really

Alvarez is def a 90m player

[noble fractal]

walkup 12 points im shocked

would be nice to see greece close the gap but unlikely

[proud coyote]

he cracks me up, the worst naturalized american on any team

but he's showing out here

[noble fractal]

at least we didn't embarass ourselves like france did

[noble fractal]

u have no idea how much he made me seethe in group phase

[proud coyote]

ugh walkup

so many fucking turnovers this game lol

10 and 14? jesus

It might actually be true? Lol

Are athletes allowed to take special drugs because of illnesses?

[noble fractal]

if its illness related yeah i think

but im sus of American athletes who say this in general

[proud coyote]

There is a hilarious dichotomy between people praising the athletes for winning despite their asthma and people condemning them for cheating with asthma meds

[stable blaze]

Nahhh sloukas missing the team is too much , papagiannis can’t deal with any of Germans bigs , had hopes for the match but w/e

[proud coyote]

They did very well given the circumstances. Hopefully Greece is healthy for the next fiba

[noble fractal]

My dad told me about watching a game with the US basket nt once were the players were ushered out of the stadium before they got to do doping tests on them

[proud coyote]

[dense blade]

Why would someone who has asthma chose a athletics career is so crazy to me

[noble fractal]

totally not sus

[proud coyote]

I’m sure the nba has less stringent doping tests than the Olympics sooo

[noble fractal]

greece winning is a pipe dream

[simple seal]

1988 Orioles are the ones that started the season 0-21 right lol

[stable blaze]

I mean German is obviously the better team here , but spanoulis as coach gave us hope , but yeah let’s hope team is healthy for fiba

[stable blaze]

Not really we had good matches with the rest of the teams and even with Kanada soo

[noble fractal]

thw problem is that greece is a team full of bottlers

they could have easily won all three matches

[dense blade]

Nba don't need one when Zion can play great after eating burgers anyone can

[noble fractal]

and ended up matching against france or brazil instead of germany

but Spanoulis is a bad coach and that cost them

[stable blaze]

Spanoulis ain’t really the problem , he is new to coaching but still the players respect him much

[noble fractal]

its good to have a coach that the team gets along with,its why they probably picked him but he is inexperienced as coach and its showing

[stable blaze]

What you are saying ain’t wrong I agree he is inexperienced , but the players aren’t showing their regurals selfs like they do in euro league matches

[noble fractal]

i mean ye they won't risk injuries

[stable blaze]

And our Bench sucks

[noble fractal]

however spanoulis lets players who have a bad day on the field

[stable blaze]

Larentzakis Core

Idk how he plays ball at that level

[noble fractal]

the thing that irked me on the first match was that whenever greece caught up to points against canada he put walkup on and walkup sucked ass and increased the gap

huh loosing with 13 pints ain't that bad

shame that sloukas and kostas were injured and couldn't come

[stable blaze]

sloukas missing is a problem , Canada but a lot of press on our point guards calathes and walkup so he couldn’t afford to not get him subbed in anyway

[stable blaze]

Thanasis too he is crazy on D

Nahhh I need to get myself on the team no other way we winning this @dim ledge

[noble fractal]

also sucks that the mens water polo team is playing against serbia

[stable blaze]

On the brighter side if they win ….

Y'all wanna see some funny shit

[rustic ore]

Please

[dim ledge]

I'm doing that QB centric fantasy league in my Liverpool server again

Had second pick, but I did CMC instead of a QB

Came all the way back to me with Purdy still available so I take him, obviously

Prescott, Love, Murray, and Williams all get picked before Purdy

How, idk

[robust grotto]

Oh! Lmao yeah it just means she’s a lefty

[rustic ore]

People sleep on him only to get the rude awakening near the end of the season when he puts up dark horse MVP numbers

[dim ledge]

Like I can almost understand 2/4

Prescott puts up good regular season numbers

Love is about the same area as Purdy

I can even get Murray, who's great, just has injury issues

But fucking Williams?

[rustic ore]

People glazing Caleb insanely, he's a rookie, he's playing in a pro style for the first time ever, he's going to struggle regardless of how good his WRs are

[dim ledge]

Btw since y'all are here real quick

It's my turn to pick, going WR

[robust grotto]

The second 1 media member that holds value speaks positively about him, the narrative will shift 100%

[dim ledge]

Nacua
Olave
London
Adams

[rustic ore]

Nacua

Easily

[dim ledge]

Leaning Adams. Aiyuk also available but don't wanna probably put all my eggs in one basket

Oh really

Nacua huh

[celest zephyr]

It’s also people trying to gamble on getting another stroud like season

Nacua

[rustic ore]

Best QB situation out of all of them, and McVay loves spreading it around

[celest zephyr]

Olave is good but idk he never put up big stats consistently for me last season

[dim ledge]

Olave was last on that list for me

[celest zephyr]

London never seemed that good last season

[rustic ore]

Yeah stay away from Olave, he has Derek Midd throwing him the rock

[celest zephyr]

Idk I didn’t have him on my roster though

[rustic ore]

London could be interesting late

[dim ledge]

Nacua over Adams, then?

[rustic ore]

Yes

[dim ledge]

I could still take Aiyuk but again, eh

[celest zephyr]

Yeah but not early

[dim ledge]

Yeah aight

Nacua it is

[rustic ore]

Raiders are gonna be competing for the 1st pick next year, their QBs are garbage

[celest zephyr]

Aiyuk to me I’d wait and see what tf happens to him contract wise

[dim ledge]

I already have 2 SF players

So

[rustic mountain]

If Aiyuk's team thing was taken care of sure but it's hella in limbo as you know, I'd wait

[celest zephyr]

Plus cmc gets so many touches that it’s hard to think he’d get massive points

[rustic ore]

Adams might be interesting late but you're risking him being a Calvin Johnson type who can put up great numbers with shit QBs

[rustic mountain]

Could end up with Jacoby Brissett and that's not ideal

[dim ledge]

So nacua, tldr

[celest zephyr]

Yeh

[rustic ore]

Yeah

[dim ledge]

CMC
Purdy
Nacua

White boy szn

[rustic ore]

Yeah Nacua is the whitest name I've ever heard

[robust grotto]

I like my team so far

Quite a while before my next pick

[rustic ore]

Got a sleeper pick for you

If he's there somewhat late

[dim ledge]

Lol. I could've gone for Kelce or LaPorta too

But idk. I think a WR1 is more important

If they're still there when it's my turn I may go

[rustic ore]

It is, but TE is a niche spot you just like having a good one in if you can

[smoky fable]

Was also a UW player before he transferred to BYU

[smoky fable]

And there’s more out there now

[rustic mountain]

Why does anyone good leave us

[rustic ore]

Yup

[rustic mountain]

I feel like that terrible movie good luck chuck or whatever

[dim ledge]

I believe I'll actually get a secondary QB next

[smoky fable]

It was during COVID and some reason popped up

Don’t remember

[rustic ore]

McBride is someone I've been eyeing late in drafts lately, people keep sleeping on him when he killed it last year

[dim ledge]

And then just sniff for value

[celest zephyr]

Yeah if it was just like Kelce kittle hock and andrews only it’d be harder

[smoky fable]

Yeah you should get him

[short flame]

Because if you’re not regular you’re goofy

[smoky fable]

I second that strongly

He’s looked good

[celest zephyr]

McBride for sure

Dude was nice when I had him last season

I was kinda surprised that no one really picked him up

[dim ledge]

There's still a good bit of value in QBs so

[rustic ore]

He's easily presumably the #2 option behind MHJ on that Cards team now

[robust grotto]

Whiter than me got damn

[dim ledge]

Since it's a 2QB league, think it makes sense

[rustic ore]

Had like 800+ yards last year

[celest zephyr]

Oh with qb flex probably yeah

[smoky fable]

Nacua did have an injury yesterday though

At his knee in practice

[dim ledge]

....

[rustic ore]

Meh, seems like it was called a bone bruise

He'll be fine

He jogged it off

[dim ledge]

It was an electrical fire

And there goes tua

[rustic ore]

Is Tua the new Dak?

[celest zephyr]

Isn’t that already the case lol

[rustic ore]

Good regular season numbers and then shit in the playoffs?

Yeah was just wondering

[dim ledge]

The guy has like arguably the best WR1+2 combo in the league

[rustic ore]

I don't want to go too hard on him for last year, he had a bunch of JAGs on his D at the end and his coach had a brainfart play calling wise that game

[dim ledge]

Why Purdy catches flak for having a good receiving core but he doesn't I'll never understand

[robust grotto]

System QB !!

[smoky fable]

Tua gets a lot of flak from what I saw

Doubters on that contract he got

[rustic ore]

Oh it's gonna get worse when he gets his megadeal if he hasn't already won a title

[robust grotto]

I’m a Brock fan too

[rustic ore]

Sports fans just pick the dumbest arguments to get their panties in a twist over

[robust grotto]

Few arguments worse than MVP

[rustic ore]

Brady was able to deflect a lot of hate early in his career because he won so much, if Brock finally gets over the hump this year I imagine it'll be similar

In which case the loudest peeps will be the ones jelly it was their team

[robust grotto]

I can understand fans having opinions that are all over the place on Brock but I’m just surprised it’s year 3 and he still gets little to no love from national media

That’s my thing

A story like his should be celebrated and praised but it’s more about focusing on the sexy and flashy

[rustic ore]

I think it's similar to people hating on Matt Ryan late on his career and solely giving credit for his MVP season on Shanahan

[dim ledge]

You're not wrong, but there wasn't any real hubbub around him till then. My point is that Purdy got shit day in day out for having a good receiving core where Tuas was inarguably better and he got way way less

[rustic ore]

I think Tua hate might be muddled from people feeling sorry for how injury prone dude is, that concussion image from that game against Cincy was awful

[robust grotto]

[smoky fable]

Let’s see if it pans out for them

[robust grotto]

Todd Boehly should’ve just bought an NHL team lol

[smoky fable]

Yeah that fencing response he did was pretty graphic

[robust grotto]

Purdy honestly reminds me of an Eli . There’s just no marketability in him

[rustic ore]

So anyways I have a sleeper for you for fantasy if you'd like, late round pick

[dim ledge]

You may have to remind me BC this is a looooong draft

8hrs per pick, paused overnight, involving folks worldwide

But yes, do tell

[rustic ore]

Chris Godwin, Tampa is moving him back to primarily being a slot WR, the O under our new OC is apparently gonna use a lot of quick motions and on paper seems like it'll be similar to the Rams, and apparently everyone is saying he looks back to 100% after tearing his ACL a couple years ago

[smoky fable]

8 hours

Holy hell

I’m surprised you haven’t pushed Balkan to take Nabers. @robust grotto

That qb situation isn’t good

But at the value he’s at

[rustic ore]

Lol, why would anyone take a guy with Danny Derps or Tommy Gabagool throwing them the rock?

[smoky fable]

Bet on the talent and where he’s projected to be drafted

[dim ledge]

Tommy Gabagool

[rustic ore]

I don't know, fine line between ballsy and insanity

[dim ledge]

Idk I may not take Nabers based solely on how much I heard his fucking name in the past few months

[rustic ore]

Peronsally wouldn't touch him until he actually has a QB but that's just me

[dim ledge]

If the Giants drafted the literal Messiah their fans would still talk about Nabers more

[rustic ore]

Call me a hater if you must but I have 0 desire to have an NYG QB on any roster this season

[smoky fable]

I just remember you’re a Jets fan though.

[dim ledge]

So my current plan

Pick 4 is a QB, followed by best value I can find

[dim kettle]

Hopefully comes back to being WR1 to stop the propaganda that Mike Evans is better. He's a better face of the franchise than Godwin. Godwin can catch and run after the catch.

They're 2 different players

I don't think there is a "better" between them

At their bests they're both fantastic

[dim kettle]

Let's put it this way. A guy is wide open in the middle of the field, simple play. Who would you prefer to throw to? Evans or Godwin? You'd pick Godwin because that's always been Evans downside, his yards after the catch. He only makes up for it by his height and hands.

[dim ledge]

Omg

@robust grotto

Brunson Captain!!!

[rustic ore]

Dumb question but do NBA players get bonuses if they're made captains by their teammates?

[dim kettle]

Oh yes. It's coming up. Having to watch both the Jets and Giants hype up their seasons, only to become the biggest wastes of time to watch on TV for 4 months.

[rustic ore]

6 primetime games for the Jets

Even more than any of the teams that were deep into the playoffs last year

Jesus wept

[smoky fable]

Hype for Rodgers

And the NY market

[dim ledge]

The ivermectin overtakes Rodgers body and he collapses on the 4th snap

[dim kettle]

Man, you would have to watch over the bridges to stop Jet fans from ending it there.

[rustic ore]

I'd be the one guy asking for them to do a flip

[dim kettle]

I prefer the "Fly like a Jet" myself.

[dim ledge]

This would be my group chat

[robust grotto]

Lovely to see!

[dim ledge]

"Rip Rodgers"
"Omg 😭"
"Been fun boys. Killing myself"
"😒"
(The bottom two are jets fans)

[smoky fable]

Was that just word for word what happened last year

[dim ledge]

Kind of

I'd have to go way back to check

[rustic ore]

Shit that just happened yesterday

[dim kettle]

The Jets killed Carl.

[hasty basin]

Wait what

How'd the keeper score on the 67th minute

[nimble onyx]

Canada losing to France

[hasty basin]

Shai can't carry this team mayne 💔 💔

[dim ledge]

How's wemby

[hasty basin]

Not great

Defensively the same but uhh

Idk why he's shot 6 3s

[nimble onyx]

Offensively, tough night for him

[celest zephyr]

Lol Canada

Any expectations and they shit the bed

Not too surprised since France is a horrible matchup defensively in the paint

And fiba rules are more paint oriented

[slate lance]

Tbf they had no big

[celest zephyr]

Plus fuck Jamal Murray

Mfer is a bum

[slate lance]

Edey would’ve been useful

[celest zephyr]

Memphis wouldn’t let him go

[hasty basin]

My glorious king Shai is out to Guerschon Yabusele and em

https://tenor.com/view/interestellar-cry-rage-stop-murph-gif-23964161

[sweet tree]

france won

[celest zephyr]

It’s because Canada is ass

They don’t have enough time to gel and they don’t have any legit big men

Olynyk Powell and birch is awful

They don’t suck but they also get abused by any team with an actual centre

[hasty basin]

Yeah lol

Very guard heavy

If Edey turns out good, they have a chance

[celest zephyr]

Their forwards are also only okay

Brooks naw and dort are all respectable to great defensively but aren’t much on offense

Plus no real pg despite the amount of guards

[celest zephyr]

My bad looks like he personally withdrew. I’m not sure tbh how good he will be in the nba. Slow big men without good athleticism and 3 point shooting aren’t great right now

Probably better in fiba

[hasty basin]

I don't believe in him and never did but hey

That's a plus for me if he turns out good

[dim ledge]

Top 2 picks from these as QB2 behind Purdy? @rustic ore @proud coyote

[proud coyote]

Kirk and stafford

Is there anyone else

[dim ledge]

Uhhhh

[smoky fable]

Kirk or stafford it is

Unless you want to bet on the others there

[dim ledge]

I think one of the two goes right before me

[smoky fable]

I think I’d prefer Kirk between the two

[dim ledge]

Hoping for staff. Wanted Goff but he just went a pick ago

....then again

That would make me have 2 SF and 2 LAR players

Hmm

[smoky fable]

Wouldn’t hurt to diversify those options

[dim ledge]

No, it wouldn't

[rustic ore]

I'd probably go Cousins but it's a toss up between him and Stafford for me

I'm always hesitant on Stafford because of his lengthy injury history, then again Kirk himself is coming off of a season ending injury so who knows?

But stay away from the rookie QBs

[smoky fable]

Daniel’s wouldn’t be a bad bet

But he’s so thin and fragile that he probably won’t hold up if he runs

[dim ledge]

Why is JJ a no go?

[rustic ore]

He's not gonna start

[dim ledge]

Actually curious

[smoky fable]

Darnold is starting

[dim ledge]

Ah

[smoky fable]

Yep

[rustic ore]

They want to pull a GB and have him sit a year

[smoky fable]

Not sure about Drake Maye’s status

[rustic ore]

If I'm NE I'm not starting Maye unless Brissett gets injured

No need to hurry a rookie QB in a rebuild

[hollow wind]

Are we doing a fantasy in here?

for the channel?

[rustic ore]

I'd be down but I'd ask one of y'all to host

[smoky fable]

We just need a host

[dim ledge]

Not me this time

[proud coyote]

I’ll bother everyone and set it up

Will do it this weekend

[rustic ore]

You're a gem

[dim ledge]

Thanks Juba

[rustic mountain]

Have fun with fantasy boys

My prediction is out of nowhere Buc will win the whole thing

[rustic ore]

🥹

You're too real for that

Appreciate you

[rustic mountain]

Now don't lose

Or I'll look bas

Bad

Ricky Pearsall re-aggravated the shoulder injury that put him in a blue non-contact jersey over OTAs. The 49ers removed him as a precaution, Kyle Shanahan said

Christian McCaffrey unlikely to play in preseason with strained calf; not considered a long-term issue.

Steelers and 49ers re-engaged in conversations mid-day today regarding Brandon Aiyuk, per league sources. As of Monday night, the 49ers-Steelers talks stalled. But there have been further conversations today in an ever-fluid situation that still involves other teams as well.

The #Steelers and #49ers are involved in talks over WR Brandon Aiyuk again, per source—as @AdamSchefter reported first.

Adding: I’m told they’re “working on it. It’s a lot of back and forth.”

@desert palm kinda cool actually ^

Random as hell but cool

[smoky fable]

Please don’t

[desert palm]

What is Bristol?

[dim kettle]

Great. Now we can see the Reds bullpen literally crash and burn.

[rustic ore]

They have a pro racetrack in Connecticut?

[smoky fable]

No its TN

[rustic ore]

https://tenor.com/view/joe-biden-presidential-debate-huh-confused-gif-16704157274113773062

Oh

NASCAR race track.

Ahhhhhh

Interesting crossover

[rustic ore]

Damn states and their habit of using the same name as other cities

[desert palm]

I wonder how they will configure it

[smoky fable]

Yep

[dim kettle]

IDK. But the Reds bullpen will probably look like this:

[rustic ore]

Honey we're going to Paris!

[dim kettle]

This croissant was made in Paris... Kentucky.

[dim ledge]

Only part of any of this that concerns me remotely is Pearsall. Steelers have players that we can get more value of if it goes their way, CMC wasn't gonna play preseason anyways lol

But even the Pearsall concern is meh

[novel slate]

Up 19, is there a point in watching brazil vs usa

[hollow wind]

Oh fuck I forgot they’re playing today

Ty

[novel slate]

[rustic ore]

I was very confused seeing Embiid with Team USA until I found out he's been a US citizen since 2022

Fair play

[thin tulip]

yes

i hope we only lose to a 10 point difference

[hollow wind]

Turn on the tv and Brazil are on an 11-0 run

Fuck you sshots

Jinxed it
