Casual slander
They definitely got OKC thunder tendencies
You’ll see them hold players hands and jerseys
Flops here and there
I knew Lou Dort was a dirty player but the whole team now?
tf is going on
Not the spurs
NO
You ll see that all the time in playoffs
THE CANES
Thunder definitely got more floppers
Ugly stuff
Holding hands on defense
It’s holding man
TAYLOR HALL THE YOTES LEGEND
Sorry for tonight it must suck @sacred kite
Reid so tuff
It really sucks that spurs fans got good basketball back so soon
Wolves held hands of joker
Spurs fans aren't that bad
Thunder got annoying as fuck with one chip
All this hand holding…so scandalous 😳
I don’t think a single carry has been called in any playoff game
Then there is no point is there
Kolek-san....
Flyers lose again
Exactly what I was saying
They inherited Wembanyama and become bottom 4 fanbases in the nba
The general point is others do it more
spurs wolves is competitive
He’s laughing knowing he’s about to drop 30 on 3 fgs next game
is philly the most top heavy team left in the playoffs
i feel like outside of their starting five its just nobodies
Yeah
Lakers starting 5 isn’t even as good as the 76ers
Houston got beat by LeBron and friends
But the Sixers are the second most top heavy
Lakers have kennard at least
Ant man getting back from leg extension which is usually 4 weeks is insane
Just gib me da Knicks chip
If reaves was out then yeah I’d go lakers
Kennard just takes shots he can for sure make
Reaves acknowledging he’s gonna foul bait duel with Shai is funny af
2 pts from bemby
literally mike brown half the time but not as good
That’s the only Mike brown emote
Wemby pump faking
Yeah it’s not great. At least this is just game one. Flyers are on an interesting path
Like he ain’t 13ft
Flyers played well until we gave them the win
Excuses
Someone heal Reid
dominos putting their filthy products inside a black and gold box is performative
Yah I saw it's an illegal screen
He better make em 3 s
Are you really rooting for the spurs now
Not really I want a good game
Iam good if ant man hits the game winner
Well done Knicks
What was the score
137-98
Wow
Brunson was on a tear
They still had more FTs god damn
Regardless let's not act like 8 blocks in first half is a common thing
I could do that fr
17 blocks is the record
He prolly won't break it cause they ain't gonna drive towards him much anymore
You want him to give buckets..?
Lmao let the game be close
Edwards vs wemby
Offball kuh
McDaniels does it too
And it's okay for both as long as it's offball
Slight hands
Lemme see
Ss do you play ball
Dude fell and got a foul
Not American football
Flop by castle
Basketball
No one defending like that irl getting away with it
Shit like that just makes me wanna turn the game off
If that’s your point
Absolutely disgusting
People definitely use slight hands but castle hold him tho that's a foul
Slight hand of course
Slight hands on back people easily get away with it
True slight hands for keeping up is a different thing tho, it helps in dodging screens and all
Accurate
Screens and lobs
That's all kornet is there for
Defense sometimes maybe
Spurs whistle so tuff
Yah he hit him tho
Valid
Don't hit hands after ball is gathered
Edwards lmao
Bro shouting
True
But quickest recovery ever
He can just get back at you quickly
What a game bro
victor is the defense
Fox shoving Gobert
Fox is a bum
back and forth what a game
MUNETAKA MURAKAMI!
︀︀
︀︀He ties Aaron Judge for the MLB home run lead with No. 14! 😤
Hell of a buzzer beater
Magnet ball shot wtf
kj feeling it today
great work driving inside
made most of those shots over taller and tough defenders
everybody else is pretty much bricking

THE GRAVY TRAIN WILL NEVER END FOR US
🚨🚨Hints emerge that Dianna Russini will eventually tell her story. Whether she talks, when she talks, and what she says could create a new wave of issues for Mike Vrabel and the #Patriots. Per NBC Sports
the Chargers intern pulling up adobe pro 😭 he can't believe his luck
ant man tough
The South Side Samurai is an absolute joy to have in the league
Anyone watching the ucl games this week
that was a foul
Edwards cooking
good defense for kj better offense from edwards
he did give him clamps for a second but edwards broke through
that's his skill
Both teams have scored 46 points in the paint
Not great three point shooting for both teams
Higher scoring this quarter
not a foul
castle did nothing
too much whistles man they just wanna take the game to freethrows
yah bro wolves win this
The Italian Stallion 💔
FRAUD WATCH
Too early to say they win
Wemby has been elite defensively
Putrid offensively though
i think wolves win this
ofc it's time to dance spurs fans
Wemby 0-8 on 3s
has he just been off or have they been making him take tough shots
he was off
they kinda left him on 3
he has been releasing well with soft touches but they didn't go in all of em bricks
castle gone
fouled out
McJ and Randle have 5
The better series is on rn…
i like other series
They love doubling the one knee’d player
i mean that's respect for edwards
up and down from edwards
nah never mind
he landed on the other leg
spininn randle
No timeout
What a finish
wowww
damnnnn

Wolves almost lost
FUCK OFF SPURS
GOOD FUCKING WIN WOLVES
No ayo
No dante
One leg ant
humble gotta respect it
spurs missed lot of 3 s
They are some dogs man
Defense will adjust
Legit question if Randle is a championship number 2
On this Wolves team I believe he can
He’s the reason they beat the nuggets - the man’s been a menace in pick and roll
Randle and Gobert might own Wemby all series of they don’t adjust
A triple double with 12 blocks is insane
I don’t trust gobert to own anyone all series and wemby missed quite a few shots that were open
Regardless, Gobert is doing his job
Yeah I’d say Randle can be number 2 tbh, he’s been averaging near 20
On the box outs
oh yes randle did screen and box him out
He did struggle offensively tho
If wemby stays inside the paint
I trust Gobert
yah even the best have bad games
eitherways it's gonna be a great series
With the way he’s playing though, I do understand
Wemby gonna be overrated if he keeps shooting from 3
he makes those with soft rolls actually
he didn't get those rolls today
If you are that tall
no consistency
it's not that easy though
He’s 20ft
Wingspan from 3pt line to 3pt line
respect to kareem and hakeem
They win that game
Spotlighting some of Hakeem's many, many moves (updated version).
Hakeem Olajuwon Post Moves Footwork Dream Shake Houston Rockets Fakes Spin Move Highlights Hooks Dunks Baseline Crossover Fadeaways David Robinson Shaq Patrick Ewing NBA playoffs LeBron James Carmelo Anthony Javale McGee Amare Stoudemire 1993 1994 1995 TNT
oh yeah neither of them fouled out
So you’re going to compare him to the most skilled big man to ever play the game?
I’m not trying to hate, but that shit should be 10 blocks
2 of these were obvious goaltends
Needs only 2 of those moves to become the goat
The fate of the rest of the league is in his hands
I think they told him not to shoot fade aways since he “might” get injured
Once he polishes his offensive game it might well and truly be over
Tbf the Wolves are doing everything they can to keep him away from the paint and it worked this game
Fact I just watched a 7’5 dude spam 3s is insane
This man camping at the key😹
I peeped that too
Fasho
Just read this. Yeah....tough shit for real for him man, I think it's gotta be permanently damaged atp
No way Wemby had more blocks than points
If Knicks win next game, it’s a sweep icl
Not good
Would be good if he had 30 points not impressed 🥱
I keep telling people bro
The Timberwolves are specifically built to deal with these types of teams
I miss the game by waking up at 8 vro 💔
💔
i told them too. dont sleep on wolves.
people saying spurs all in
he is a dog
sadly arsenal
they're also built to lose to the thunder
It’s different this year fr
King ANT
isnt he that send da video guy 
yeah barcola obviously always dreamed of becoming a bottler growing up
I say this as someone who likes Dortmund
But why would he downgrade
At least by that extent
Damn Wemby was so good on defense but so ass on offense lol
Uhh
He is good on offense too
Don't sum it up with one bad game
it was a good game
i think cleveland detroit will be good but i expect okc to give the lakers the belt
He got a triple double with blocks 😭
I expect him to pop off next game
Only so much you can do as a team to stop him

@dim kettle
chicago baseball is just fun as hell rn
Mets have things to cheer today: Vientos is killing the ball, Baty looks comfortable back at 3B, Benge is doing great things and they no longer have the worst record in MLB
So you’re saying there’s a chance
there is !
the year the braves won it all recently they didn’t look like a contender until the playoffs
you never know , baseball is a war of attrition
Bro the Loose Bodies have claimed another
Basically bone or other connective tissue just floating around in the joint
I NEED to see the Braves skid
Is it west ham related
Because you know the answer bro lmao. We’re fucked
Quarter of them are goaltenders or fouls
I mean we're witnessing history here
Get this
VICTOR WEMBANYAMA
HAS DROPPED THE MOST ETHICAL 11 PIECE
Not just this season, THE HISTORY OF BASKETBALL
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh no...the refs
Prayers for the Lakers please take game 1 🙏 🙏 🙏
Wait...don't one of those teams have the most freethrows in the playoffs?
And...over the course of seasons?
Continously...
Now that would be a REAL shame if it was the lakers
Im not sure if it’s over the course of seasons but in this season, okc has been getting a lot of calls
And the proof of it?
And this ref is one of the worst
I have proof of bad calls against us
It's not just us I'm afraid
Shock horror every team gets bad OR favourable calls
What team do u support?
OKC
Ohhh ok
Yes, that's just Shai
Ok so what's worse for you let me get this
A player gets 12 freethrows and his team gets 0 OR
On the other team they get let's say 25 freethrows
But it's distributed amongst players
Like let's say 8 6 5 etc
I've come to the conclusion basketball fans just don't like Shai shooting freethrows specifically
I feel like half of the discourse about the NBA is just freethrows these days
Well look what started it
Lol
Nah I'm not pointing it at you or anything
Im not here to a bitch
It's like everywhere
OKC gets called out, there will be no one stepping up
You walk into a room of 100 people 99 hate OKC
Damn
Everybody whining and bitching about Dort but it’s crickets when Dillon Brooks pulls out the most unnatural flop causing SGA to fall in a way that injures 99% of players.
︀︀
︀︀Lucky Shai has Gumby ligaments lmao
Fuck the freethrow talk for a second
If Lu Dort did this he's getting Crucified on twitter
Isn't there a rule for this?
Yes
What was it called? The kawhi leonard rule or smth lol
Yeah Zaza Pachulia rule (he's Georgian btw 🤪 )
He stepped on Kawhi
dont do my boi claw like that
2019 kawhi is top5 to sum people
For no reason got into his shooting spot
And injured him on the landing
He's one of the only Georgians I won't root for
Was a very dirty player
Well im saying is that this ref is bad regardless of any team, you were the one who started the okc convo
Riiiight
Oh yeah riigght
Ok?
You don't get what you started?
What do you think prayers for the lakers please take game 1 means after sending that tweet
No no you were talking about how he's a bad ref yeah sure
Because of what he did to the lakers the last series? Riiiight
Riiggght
You want to talk about that now 😂
You could've called that out way before
I wonder why you did not!
Nah bro you the one who switched to a differnt topic
Like an opportunity you had here
yes
Could've said that
if all of us gather up and root for yall anything is possible
It's very on topic
Well because you asked right
But im talking about the ref
Sure, but there's not bitching about the refs if you're siding for the Lakers
Im just talking about one ref and that’s the point of the tweet. It’s okay bro
Which, you had an opportunity to explain, again, before
I was supposed to but guess who talked about team stats
That's a very valid argument that there should be no crying about a referee from the Lakers
Like we all have eyes here, in the middle of the conversation, you tried proving to me that OKC gets the more favourable calls, even Shai getting the most freethrows, I shut the whole discourse down and now we're onto this
You said you shutted it down, but you were the one who restarted it bro
If you couldve stayed quiet the convo would be over
We’re not good enough and that’s just the truth
The worst part about relegation for west ham is that we are not equipped for it. We will be down for multiple seasons
Very exaggerated from Brooks
But Shai is in his landing space
He got a foul for it
Lu Dort did that too btw and it got clipped let's see...100 times?
With racial slurs?
And yes Dort would be crucified because he has all the antics of Brooks without being funny
Ok so if I'm Ted Bundy but I'm funny it's ok
Yes
🙏


On a serious note, I need an OKC sweep this series 
personality argument for foul baiting is always funny
I'm welcome to Lu Dort hate btw for the shit he does
But I'm also welcome to hating a lot of the other players for the shit they do
Watching croco argue points in sports makes me feel like a proud parent
lmao it also has rupees in it
https websites are generally fine to click afaik
NHL Draft Lottery tonight
#VOTEMBAPPE2029
Who are the hot prospects
How deep is this draft
There’s no clear number one and it’s pretty cool
Brilliant
Idk how deep but it’s like the average draft. Plenty of names who have stuck around all year. People are loving Caleb Malhotra
McKenna has been slotted for 1 overall for a while but truthfully I don’t think it’s a runaway thing. Ivar Stenberg had a damn good run at SHL this year
@sweet junco this is on the main street where I work lol
That’s pretty dope
World's most non reactionary fan base
they got a point tbh
I mean sure but it doesn't make them any less wishy washy
That entire fan base was twerking for him to come for years
PSG en route to win the UCL a second time in a row while real goes trophy less
😭
oh yeah Madristas are losers
Yes I'm focusing on madridistas specifically lol
Such dorks
My former colleague loves them but he was a stereotypical arms only gym bro. Like brother, your body is more than just your arms
He couldn’t understand why I, or anyone really, would support West Ham
where would he go lmao
no one wants him / can pay him
and he defo not joining united
The way modern social media is designed is so that your algorithm gives you a constant negative feedback loop that is catered to whatever beliefs you want. That’s why the okc fouling/shai free throw bitching is so prevalent even though objective data paints a completely different story
People will look at actual stats and go nuh uh and move goalposts rather than just admit they’re wrong
So much easier to constantly complain about Dort or Shai free throws than watch basketball games
You know at what point I am right now
I am at the point where I WISH THEY WERE RAGEBAITING 😭
I think it started off as ragebait at the start but it's become this weird cult like belief
Veteran edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. is signing with the Seahawks on a one-year deal worth up to $5 million, per @TomPelissero.
No way that’s a real quote lol
Tell me this is fake
As a nuggets fan I can't imagine cb saying that shit
MATCH WAS CRAZY GOOD
yeah ofc
and DOKU Goals were absolute bangers
arsenal needs to lose some games
cant see them winning the league
Disagree, I think Arsenal wins it
ill stay positive till the end
they wont
He did
MLS🥹
arsenal probably win
You literally hate every European center
NOOO
my heart says arsenal
but deep down if there are NO corners
man city might get the treble
I just can’t see Arsenal fumbling 2 games
Lets meet there
Even if im not a Trabzonspor guy
We are saddened to relay the news of the passing of former Pirates outfielder and coach Bob Skinner. Skinner was a member of the 1960 World Series Championship Pirates and a coach on the 1979 World Series Championship team. He made his Major League debut with the Bucs in 1954 and played nine of his 12 seasons in Pittsburgh.
That’s crazy
I can
West ham could cost arsenal the league and relegate Spurs on sunday and yet I know they will chock and disappoint us all
💔
I like Rudy Gogurt
Baseball Peeps
Unbiased thought experiment discussion,
https://x.com/mlb/status/2051719886854873451?s=46
Let’s say Ohtani ends the season with at most an .825 OPS (1 month in and he is currently at .814 OPS) which would be a career low (in an bad way) , but at the same time he has an 1.40 ERA (1 month in and is currently at 0.60 ERA) which is a career low (in a good way). Does he with the not great OPS deserve the CY Young award AND the MVP award or just the CY Young because he is pitching like CRAZY but his hitting is not as good as usual?
https://t.co/Z3s2EpgF39 experts have Shohei Ohtani as the current front-runner in the NL MVP race!
Obviously if ohtani stays below 1.00 ERA with a good amount of innings to boot then there is a separate discussion cause now we are talking historically pitching season where that alone could deserve MVP like the Kershaw and Verlander MVPs even if he goes below an .800 OPS
Hes actually not bad so its good if he goes to that academy
I could see him have an Ethan Mbappe level career
He looks like the kid from my village that was smoking cigarettes at age 11
All Balkan villages got one of these mfs
I'm glad you're recognizing the greatest defender in the history of the league
||
||
They're taking him as a hostage for the second leg
Kvara will be out because of a "mysterious illness"
Best French center in the league
I think it depends on who his competition is as well. But I believe as long as he does average batting and has insane pitching, he’s locked in for MVP just for the value he provides alone
It took Judge having literally a breaking world class season that one year to win it over Ohtani
He’s also in a slump rn but just by sheer amount of reps he will get, his numbers will def get better later this year as well
Like neither elly or olson are breaking any worlds records rn so it’s hard to tell
u can find kids like this on every central train station of a large city
Adidas tracksuit, excessive swearing, shitty old bicycle

nice pfp
tifo looks pretty cool
Probably
rice block
Saka wtf
gabriel wide
Surprised Gyokeres didn’t pass that off to Saka there
Idk why Gyok is going on the wing anyway
Oh MLS is starting for Arsenal?
Crazy that Eze and Olise can meet in the final lmao
Former crystal palace players
Would be a very soft one
no pen
If arsenal wins with a pen we need to blow up emirates immediately
sick of this shit
How is this 36th minute 😭
WHO is that bro 😭
atleti cant string 10 passes in a row
There is Serie A games more exciting than this
Saka goal
A miracle
rebound
1-0 Arsenal
Atleti is so ass man
Blooooody hell
that stupid ass defender
Musso > Oblak
😴
Fuck is Atleti doing
he was def much better against Barca
Why have they been doing oblak again?
no idea lol
Ain’t even haram ball straight astaghfirullah
me reading a liverpool fan calling arsenal games boring for the 800th gamein a row
They were bound to give up a goal soon enough
just dont fucking watch if its so boring to you
a cagey game like this a rebound sort of goal was gonna happen
Hate aint gonna watch itself 💔
Doing it for the love of fantasy points
i dont even like watching us i have no idea why other fans would waste their time 😭
Dawg it could be my pillow vs my blanket in the UCL semis I'll still watch
I’m hardly watching it
imagine if arsenal sits back now
COYG
Gyokeres turning it around
At this point I would too
Because Simeone's barely doing shit
Omg
Yoo ☠️
LOL Adoree Jackson is meeting with the cowboys
Gyok X Cala linkup is so goofy man
6 players stayed behind the half way line for that btw
Raya wow
good stop
pen?
Cala got lucky
Foul on Gabriel apparently
he stepped on jim lmao
I think Gabriel is fouled first
He blew the whistle early no
Molina and Sorloth real goalscoring opportunities
INteresting
Triple subs from both before 60

Gyok omg
???
My goat
if it goes to penalties who even takes it for them 😭
WHAT
Alvarez yeah makes no sense
bro what the fk
Griezmann sure doesn't have the legs
what are those subs by simeone
NBA script has leaked. Cavs win in Detroit off the back of a massive 30+ point Mitchell game. Harden with the cool 20/10.
Later, Shai has a solid 28/8/5 on 61% shooting. 9 free throws and at least 2 are controversial so they hit the front page. Lakers cry about it on their way to lose by 20
Watch this.

SORLOTH WHAT IS THAT
Sorloth is having a laugh
and he blew ir lmao
we just suck
we are forced to watch bums like inter and atleti every time u loose smh
NFL teams be RN,
“SIGN HIM QUICK BEFORE HE GETS INTO TROUBLE FOR SOMETHING ELSE”
atleti shouldve won it when they had the chance
14' and 16'
what a shame they faced real
Let Molina shoot
yeah they were much better back then
If Norway has bums like this starting in the WC against france they might aswell not come at all
5 minutes
Pressing more than Atleti even
@dim kettle @smoky fable @amber grove @rustic mountain @tender hornet @hasty mesa @robust grotto
And all the other NFL heads……..
I wonder if this is it for Simeone
Atletico didn't show up tonight
Arsenal are playing much better
Yeah give us their spot we definitely deserve it more 
Another 90 minutes wasted
Yeah Atletico were so passive
Did they even have an actual dangerous shot on goal? lol
theres gonna be a brawl after that lmao
Gyokeres did some dirty work icl
Arsenal are pressing them as if they're the ones losing lol
Italy should have axcepted trulps offer bc there is a chance someone way worse will replace Iran

If that happens it'll officially be the worst world cup ever
And it hasn't even started yet
at least if Italy bottles another group phase we can all have a good laugh
Its already on route to be the worst
does atleti know they behind?
also I saw a video of ppl walking to metlife
apparently u can do that
Wouldn't you need to cross the highway lol
They are wasting time
I wonder if the ref will co tinue the game out of spite
lmaooooo
I would tbh
the sidelines is funny
ARSENAL IS IN THE FINAL.
lame
Arsenal in the UCL final for the first time in 20 years
BAYERN U ARE NEXT
grats to Arsenal fans
don't let us down
well they were the best team in this tie
actually breaks my heart i'll be real
germany needs that extra ucl spot
He’s right. Coop needs to drop the comedian act some times, imo
Atleti was arse
How funny would it be if Kane scored and Bayern won the final lol
VINCENT KOMPANY DO YOUR THING AND MY LIFE IS YOURRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSS
Arsenal could really do the double
Can't hear you, trading more future first rounders to "compete."
There's a chance for a generational bottle
But City dropped two huge points in the weekend
I think they got the prem for sure now
Sounds like 2010s rangers to me !
Late June?? No of course I don’t have plans
Stefon Diggs found not guilty of assault/battery and strangulation of his former chef.
@rustic mountain @haughty moss
all in on West ham and bayern
I am not gonna say she was lying and all that
Subbing off Alvarez was a choice
But when a team stands behind a player, something seems up
Also siren, who’s winning the lotto tonight
He was hurt
Also very quick trial
I think it will be Vancouver
if that's the case then it's fair
I'm telling you, watching that series was reminding me that the Bolts were once that young, hungry team going against an old empire in the Wings in a 7 game series. Now it's the Bolts that are that old empire, I'm afraid.
Alvarez AND Griezmann at the same time
I think he was hurt in the first leg
Yeah I aint saying she lied but shit was a bit sus
Could be this was a cash grab, we shall see if she tries in civil court
At the very least, Diggs free to play elsewhere
Wonder where he goes
The Panthe-
congrats Yash
thanks my guy
@burnt cedar gl in the finals 
Wtf was that man thinking
Simeone.... yikes 
hes cooked
I hope tomorrow is nore exciting
Fucked us over
@hasty mesa after some turbulence we finally got dj reader
Right now in the Bolts fandom on Reddit or Discord, it's either fire everyone and trade pieces away, or you have the fans that are in complete denial about where the team really is, and it's apparently a crime to demand better from a team that has had success. It really does make me wonder if this was what it was like to be a Red Wings fan in 2014-2015.
Kraken
The entire motto has been “all in” for a little too long now. You guys have good players and draft well but the that series really showed the world - “okay.. maybe the bolts aren’t as creative as we’re used to”
The team is a really good regular-season team. They get overrated, though, from the media because of what they were. Really, I don't believe in this they were upset BS. I knew that outcome was coming.
That’s definitely the truth. Media is buying you guys more time than you really have
I didn’t expect you to beat Montreal personally. Captain obvious statement here but you need puck moving D pretty badly
The big problem is the team is always playing catch-up. So many guys like Kuch and Point have periods where their heads are not in the game. There's a staleness on the ice that the fanbase continues to enable because they won 2 cups 5 years ago.
The bottom 6 need to be addressed; the defense isn't getting younger, and their excuses are thrown everywhere and the standard continues to get lower and lower.
Bottom six is a problem for 90% of teams
Evan Closky had to throw in that excuse today about how the first round is so, so hard to get by. You know, Evan, the Bolts used to win those first-round games in this system without a lot of trouble in the past. It's almost like whenever someone uses this, they're trying to cover up the fact that other teams are just better than you.
It's just winning a couple of cups has made this team and fanbase a bunch of complacent losers mentally.
I dont know if that's what they are doing. People like to believe they can turn stuff around and maybe hold on longer than they should
In my opinion, it's holding on to nostalgia and maybe putting faith in players youve seen do it before, but maybe cant anymore
I agree but I think that's a little reductive
Very little is the economic perspective taken into account
Yeah. And it's the unfortunate reality that holding onto nostalgia and loyalty usually leads to endless mediocrity. So many fans, when pressed about the fact that 5 years will turn into 10, 15 years only go, "Well, what's the point about worrying about 10-15 years from now?" Like, dude, time comes at you fast; it's fleeting. The fact that it's already been 5 years since the last one is the proof.
From an economic perspective you have a tenured worker who's consistently produced results for you and you can either continue on with their particular standard, even if it's lowered, on a pay contract that is friendly for you both
Or you risk replacing them at the ire of at least a significant portion of your fanbase for someone that COULD work out and will likely demand more eventually
How many times have we seen "lmaooo they really sold/traded (x) and got (y)"
My perspective is purely fanbase
I cant really talk much to ownership and management
I am more looking at the nature of a fan who has had a bunch of winning and what Ive seen on my side of it. People in that position grow attached and they dont want to let go
Ownership is completely going to change hands by 2027 for the Bolts. I'll give JBB one thing that isn't Red Wings-like. He had the balls to understand that Stammer was on the decline and didn't overpay him to hope that they can "compete"
There are a lot fans who stick by their players even if theyve declined, it happened all the time growing up
I get that I'm just saying that sentiment is reflected by management in a way that isn't purely emotional
Bill would cut loose someone I liked, Id be sad, move on
So it's not an irrational feeling
I would say for a fan it can be. I understand there is an economic aspect to it
I just wish a lot more people would look at their own team and understand and learn the lessons of the 2010s Red Wings. You must be forward thinking in moves or else even empires will fall into shit.
But not many fans are out there realllly caring how much a player they love costs or doesnt as long as they can keep everyone
Not only Arsenal gon win the Prem they qualified for the CL finals too, 10/10 hate watch 
I think there are tbh
But I think it also depends
Like if you have a vet that's still on their big fat contract
Then yeah you'll get fans talking about it
some fans do care about that imo but tbf that kind of concern being taken into account means the fans of said team must be passionate as hell
I said not many, I know there are. I hear fans complain about contracts
Again I did not say
No fans
arsenal will have a serious opponent in the final though
Not a team of clowns or amateurs like so far
that’s why i hate the baseball 10 year contracts
It's always 10 years in name only. Most players aren't going to play through the entire contract.
but the ones that do you might get good years on maybe half of it
Unless you get lucky and also sign them early enough
I think Vlad will be fine on his contract
Hope you’re right ! i like Vlad Jr, and i enjoyed his father a lot
I remember when Loria signed Giancarlo Stanton to a massive contract and just knew he wasn't going to play through that entire contract.
Icl that was the most satisfying 24hrs before we got knocked out too
such a good player who just can’t stay healthy
That isnt to say I think he sees the entire thing out. Vlad will be 41 when his deal finishes
More than likely he either retires with us or we trade him
But I think he gets a good 10 years out of it
You'd give out 8-10 year contracts for one thing. It gives you some control if you feel you need to move him in those last 3 years.
Hahahaha. I’m a big defender of anti football because my best moments as a football fan has come under terrorist football.. but the irony is I CANNOT STAND the hockey terrorism that the Carolina Hurricanes play
As fan, I will say I am glad Vlad is signed to that big deal
No I definitely can see the correlation with the two
My bad I was driving before
COME TO OUR GAAMMMMEES!
It means the face of our franchise stays that and that we control that fate
No Vlad signing with the Red Sox or something unless we release him
it’ll be interesting to see the future of baseball finances after this season
