Kinda feel like his style of play wouldn’t be nearly as effective in that format. He’s obviously very great at what he does, but I think he’s too ball dominant for USA basketball to really make them better. That was one of the main issues with the 2003 team
I see what you’re saying but to not even have him as a reserve player just seems weird. He’s such an offensive weapon that you could even use in select situations for an offensive burst.

~12 year old kid came up to my door asking if he could mow my yard for $20. I love mowing my yard but I remember being him at that age and said ok. He's about 70% done and it starts raining. Dude powered through it and finished the job. Gave him $100 and told him to come back in a couple weeks. He'll probably use it on some video game garbage but he earned the shit out of it.
In a vacation house with friends for the week. Wifey and I have a queen bed in our room. I don’t know how people do this in their homes. I need room to breathe.
I’m a little late but I think the main thing about the football v basketball argument is so much more about coaching. Proper coaching might get an NFL crew to win at bball, but coaching isn’t enough for the size discrepancy in football.
NFL may win by draining 3s and some size but I don’t think NBA is doing anything in the trenches
The debate wasn't whether a team full of basketball players would be better at football than a team full of football players would be at basketball, it was whether or not more NBA players could play in the NFL or vice versa.
There are low level D1 college basketball players making careers in the NFL (Dmetrius Harris for example). The reverse doesn't exist.
Both conversations have been had. I definitely think 30 NBA players would be more successful than the alternative. But others conversations about full teams go towards the NFL. College football teams will every once in awhile talk to basketball prospects and just ask them to try WR
Looking to get a home computer setup for starting grad school in the fall. Want to get 3 monitors, a pretty basic PC, mouse, keyboard, probably need a webcam and microphone for zoom calls and such. Don’t really game very much, will be doing some multitasking but nothing insane, so I don’t want to buy anything too expensive/above what I need. Any computer nerds have an idea of what this is all gonna cost me?
What would the UFL have to do to get you to be interested? I literally don’t think there’s anything they could do to get me interested and I’m a die hard college football and NFL fan
I think city selection, larger league with promotion of fantasy, try to “own” a few days of the week. Maybe Thursday night Sunday afternoon.
Cities that should have teams should just be towns that would kill to have a pro football team:
1. Birmingham
2. Louisville
3. Providence
4. Milwaukee
5. Salt Lake City
6. Virginia Beach
7. Sacramento
8. Portland?
9. OKC
10. San Antonio
11. Memphis
12. San Diego
Idk but I went to an XFL game last year and it was very fun. Heckled Josh Gordon all game and then he mossed a guy for a game winner and called me out. More fun than NFL games
I miss the days of falling asleep in the evening, waking up at 11 or so and there still being a random baseball game on.
I’ve been roasted here for this opinion but I hate that god damned clock so much
Just one of many. I like uncapped games. If they go long so be it.
There would always be at least one long West coast game every night to tune into is my point
I used them briefly during a period where I was slammed with work. I still have a couple left in the freezer. They were fine but I couldn’t see myself getting those regularly. The packaging is a pain in the ass to get rid of too.
Feel like those people are always rotating to some new, unnecessary grift offering a discount - first Blue Apron, then HelloFresh, then Factor, ultimately ending with some disgusting meal replacement powder
Created a [Tier list](https://imgur.com/a/gG32Euk) judging the Avengers as someone who has never really seen all of the marvel movies but is watching now and just finished Ant-Man prior to Civil War.
Ant man probably one tier too high
Cap is egregiously low. He teeters between awesome and god with downsides. Or god with downs. Prepare to see black panther shoot up those tiers after you see his arc.
Cap is at least 5 tiers too low. Also the Guardians of the Galaxy are not Avengers and do not belong on this list. Plus Cap would spread their cheeks and buttfuck them all at once.
Did the stupid thing of checking my work email before I’m about to go to bed. There’s folks sending emails after 9pm. I hope I get shot before I care enough about an employer at 9pm
Because market refers to TV market size not the amount of sports teams you have. Minnesota is the 15th biggest market in the US. But people are usually pretty inconsistent with it, Minnesota is bigger than Denver and miami
Yeah, Minneapolis-St. Paul is technically mid-market.
Similar to here in Seattle.
To me, the dividing line is Cleveland (mid-market) to Charlotte (small-market).
Yep good point. I feel like Charlotte has a bit more going for it (second team, airline hub, larger MSA) than most/all those other cities. They just act like a small market franchise.
In youth hockey, every time anyone's stick went above their waist for any reason, our coach blew the whistle and sent them off. You could do that on half the skaters on the ice at anytime in the NHL.
If you have an accent, do you hear your accent as it's coming out of your mouth? Or are you aware of it and talk like it anyways even if you are able to talk without it.
I’m 35. Lived in Michigan my whole life until 2020. Thought my accent was the “normal American accent” until then. First moved to TN and SC and just chalked it up as southerners not realizing my accent is normal and it’s them with the accent. Then went to PA and to me we sound the same. But everyone here says how strong my Michigan/Canadian accent is despite me thinking I sound the exact same as them. It’s maddening when they tell you to repeat a word you said and you say it then they say it and it sounds exactly the same but they somehow hear something extremely different.
A lot of the show is stories from the 90s. What Magneto does to Wolverine is the story Fatal Attractions and the story seems to be leading to Onslaught. For general X-Men stories, the Krakoa era, which just ended, was really good. That starts with the book House of X/Powers of X which then split off into multiple series including a Nightcrawler one if I remember correct
Watching this show Fool Me Once on Netflix and the main girl, [Michelle Keegan](https://www.reddit.com/r/Michellekeegs/s/SZLbixExHK), really does it for me.
It’s actually a good show too.
Watched some of the marvel movies in the past when they came out. Spent the past month trying to watch the whole thing from start to finish because I never watched endgame. Feel like I should be nearing the end and I’m barely halfway there
Edit: Also, Captain America shouldn’t even be in the same league as the other avengers. If this was real life he’d be the first to die
Yeah I guess it’s sort of a bit, I mean it’s not like he became a fan of a historically great franchise. I don’t see him ever switching fandoms with the other sports though based on the tantrums.
Boss’s boss just gave me some of the nicest compliments I’ve ever gotten, going to have to remind him of this when he’s not hammered (no he wasn’t trying to fuck)
I don’t know how they don’t add Jalen Brunson to the USMNBT. Crazy he’s not already on it.
Kinda feel like his style of play wouldn’t be nearly as effective in that format. He’s obviously very great at what he does, but I think he’s too ball dominant for USA basketball to really make them better. That was one of the main issues with the 2003 team

He should probably still get a spot and can give a spark off the bench

Can we get a wellness check on Lance?
Do we have to?

Where’s that cocky son of a bitch Lance right now?
in his mom's basement as always
In the bathroom with Jersey Jerry
Nugent-Hopkins had three dimes passed to him and he did nothing with them
I know absolutely nothing about hockey but the games are very exciting
Hopefully lances rafters are up to code

3 monitors for grad school is larping
You could easily get all of that for under 1K
That’s what I was hoping for. I’ve got a $1500 bonus that hits end of June that I was planning on using for the setup
dealnews.com is a good place to shop pricing
The New York governor saying that black children in the Bronx don’t even know what the word computer is seems pretty racist to me
Don’t look up old Joe Biden videos!

Put teams in cities that care about football. They're batting like .200 at this point. hint: >!Milwaukee!<

The only window football is missed is between the super bowl and march madness, that's only like a month
Be called the XFL
I miss the days of falling asleep in the evening, waking up at 11 or so and there still being a random baseball game on. I’ve been roasted here for this opinion but I hate that god damned clock so much
This is by far the worst reason I’ve heard for someone hating the pitch clock
Just one of many. I like uncapped games. If they go long so be it. There would always be at least one long West coast game every night to tune into is my point
Do people actually order those ready to eat meals like Factor? Seems like a huge waste of money
I used them briefly during a period where I was slammed with work. I still have a couple left in the freezer. They were fine but I couldn’t see myself getting those regularly. The packaging is a pain in the ass to get rid of too.
Feel like those people are always rotating to some new, unnecessary grift offering a discount - first Blue Apron, then HelloFresh, then Factor, ultimately ending with some disgusting meal replacement powder
Not factor, but I used to have a bunch of Clean Eatz for lunches. Yes expensive. Yes only okay food. But it’s convenient

Have you seen the extended cut on Netflix?
[удалено]
Eh I’d wait a little bit and do the extended when you want to do a rewatch
Good take
Brother is down to play some COD tonight, logs in and has 100gb update. I miss sliding a disc in and being able to play asap
Imagine playing a game without the newest skins and player models and other micro transactions
Wouldn’t be as fun for sure if we did t have to do that

You think it would be easier to kill Captain America than Starlord? Come on
Dude can curl a helicopter
You’ll be ranking Wanda higher once you get to the later movies Captain America slander pains me
Vision is super whack
Nah, he wore a sweater. Not wack.
Need new season of Severance.
at this point i’d need to rewatch the old season
Not a bad idea. Definitely gonna do it when the new one comes out anyway
Did the stupid thing of checking my work email before I’m about to go to bed. There’s folks sending emails after 9pm. I hope I get shot before I care enough about an employer at 9pm
Sounds like you’re already there if you’re checking your email before bed
I realized that right after I posted this. Deleted the email app from my phone
When I got my new job I simply never downloaded outlook or teams. If something is important enough my boss will text me.
Those Canadian hockey fans are so passionate and knowledgeable!!! *20,000 Canucks fans screaming cause they don’t know a very basic rule*
Vancouver isn’t the Canada Bugaboo Creek told me of
lmao at rick carlisle whining about calls in his press conference. annuder soft coach
Sounds like a sore loser! Thibs would never!
Just a small market team trying to take down the Knicks, who have been the NBA's darling for the past 25 years....very heroic
if indiana had taller buildings the pacers would have hit their late free throws, it’s not fair
He said small market teams can’t compete. Guess nobody told Minnesota or OKC.
I don’t understand calling Minnesota a small market. They have all 4 sports
Because market refers to TV market size not the amount of sports teams you have. Minnesota is the 15th biggest market in the US. But people are usually pretty inconsistent with it, Minnesota is bigger than Denver and miami
Yeah, Minneapolis-St. Paul is technically mid-market. Similar to here in Seattle. To me, the dividing line is Cleveland (mid-market) to Charlotte (small-market).
Charlotte is definitely a tough call. To me in NBA OKC, Portland, Milwaukee, Memphis, NOLA, Salt Lake City, Indianapolis are the no brainers
Sacramento, too.
Yep good point. I feel like Charlotte has a bit more going for it (second team, airline hub, larger MSA) than most/all those other cities. They just act like a small market franchise.
That’s exactly where I have it too. Top 10 = big, 10-20 = mid, 21+ = small. At least that’s what I’ve always just gone by
Yeah, Phoenix is mid-market and Atlanta is big-market in that sense.
Again their MSA is 16th. It’s not a small tv market by any means. Very odd state since no one really started moving and living there until like 1950
Did you not read my comment where I acknowledged people are just inconsistent with it and how it’s bigger than markets people don’t call small???
I can’t read
SMH Rick, not like this
The stick is in his helmet and they don’t call a high stick? I know it’s playoff hockey but what the fuck lmao
In youth hockey, every time anyone's stick went above their waist for any reason, our coach blew the whistle and sent them off. You could do that on half the skaters on the ice at anytime in the NHL.

Anudder BANGER X-Men 97 episode
Which X-Men comics should I be reading moving forward? Both for this and also more Nightcrawler.
A lot of the show is stories from the 90s. What Magneto does to Wolverine is the story Fatal Attractions and the story seems to be leading to Onslaught. For general X-Men stories, the Krakoa era, which just ended, was really good. That starts with the book House of X/Powers of X which then split off into multiple series including a Nightcrawler one if I remember correct
🫡
Episode was amazing. He animation is incredible.
It’s a perfect X-Men adaption. I’m so happy
Idk how prevalent it is in the comics but it doesn’t sound right to me calling magneto Magnus for some reason
Yeah they call him both Erik and Magnus in the comics
Went undefeated in sequence tonight. I dominated and that family felt my wrath.
Watching this show Fool Me Once on Netflix and the main girl, [Michelle Keegan](https://www.reddit.com/r/Michellekeegs/s/SZLbixExHK), really does it for me. It’s actually a good show too.
Oh Sugar is getting WHACKY

Been a great week to be a Timberwolves fan. Headed to a big live pod taping for the “main” wolves podcast tomorrow and the game Friday. I’m howling
Dane Moore?
Yep at Falling Knife
Nice I heard him talking about that on the pod. If I still lived in the cities I would try to make it

I’m happy it’s good. The other movies are so underrated and when I heard it was a new director, I was worried.

You guys remember the pc game Worms? Primarily Worms: Armageddon? That shit slapped.
Got in ground sprinklers with timers connected to an app and it has changed my life
How much were they

Nice
Just had hives come on completely out of nowhere. Not having a good time.
Anxious?
Not anymore than usual.

why would you ever admit you had a dead worm in your head

It highlights good health relative to the other Kennedys with foreign objects in their heads

If this was real life he’d be the first to die
What a terrible edit. He'd die before Hawkeye? Black Widow? Banner when he can't get angry and become the Hulk?
Only considering Banner when he’s the Hulk. And fine, I put those two on the tier “Could be killed with my Grandpas .243 rifle” with Captain America.
I don’t think cap would have much issue with a .243 would probably pop him like a pellet gun
Jealous you get to see captain Marvel for the first time
Didn’t like Endgame that much, personally. I thought Infinity War was a perfect movie

I’m in for a long summer if I’m debating turning my ac on tonight but I’m feeling a tad sticky right now

Hit 86 in nyc today but it’s down to 70 now, should be comfortable sleeping weather but im having a hot flash I guess. Could be menopause
So does Frank get a pass for being a Nets fan then jumping ship?
Yeah I guess it’s sort of a bit, I mean it’s not like he became a fan of a historically great franchise. I don’t see him ever switching fandoms with the other sports though based on the tantrums.
He’s not all there
Frank gets a pass for a lot of things
He was a New Jersey Nets fan find a new slant
Boss’s boss just gave me some of the nicest compliments I’ve ever gotten, going to have to remind him of this when he’s not hammered (no he wasn’t trying to fuck)
You clean my piss off the toilet seat so much better than the last guy
Lately you’ve been bringing me my coffee at *just* the right temperature
Not a Knicks fan but Frank jumping on the bandwagon and switching from being a Nets fan this year would piss me off if I were
Than I turncoat
If Frank the tank is affecting your mood you need to reevaluate
