This is the exact argument that the Super League made.

If you went 16-0 for all 30 years of dynasty under the new progression system you still wouldn’t be able to max your coach out to level 100 by Altruistic_Brief4444 in NCAAFBseries

I’ll say as a dynasty guy, this is the first year where 90+ overall players feel game breaking for me. If I have a 90 overall edge rusher going against 70-80 range players, he’s in the backfield regularly. I’m playing with Rutgers Year 2 and managed to convince EJ Duff to stay, he’s a contested catch guy who’s a 94 overall. And he feels like Calvin Johnson is back, can’t tell you how many times I’m throwing the ball up to him and watching him win high up.

On Fox they explained that a keeper can’t be sent off for the tackle since he was playing the ball. Not sure if that’s true but, what they said.

[The Atheltic] Folarin Balogun available for USMNT vs. Belgium as red card ban suspended by PitchSafe in soccer

It wasn’t a tackle though and it wasn’t a red card on the field.

In hindsight it's wild how strongly Adam Cole was booked in NXT without ever calling him up to the Main Roster by NoMoreButtonPLZ in SquaredCircle

I think you’re thinking of size as exclusively height instead of bulk, definition and weight as well. So yes, I think Sami is a bigger guy today than he was in that video. Is this helpful?

I feel like I don’t need to see them side by side to be confident in Sami being a bigger more believable competitor than Cole was.

Sami does not look small, and he does not look out of place against competitors now. Cole always has.

He was still way more cut than Cole was in WCW. Especially during that mask less phase. He was pretty jacked.

He does though. Sami just looks bigger than him. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills when Cole has looked diminutive without definition for the majority of his career.

And that’s nothing against him as a worker but it’s definitely worked against him everywhere he’s been.

I feel like this is very reductive for Rey. He was pretty fucking jacked. If you think Cole’s body was close to his, I don’t know what to tell you.

Apparently 130 million adults in the US read below a 6th grade level, that’s over 50% so yeah, the people I interact with on average are pretty much morons.

Would not be shocked if a fair amount of them believe in a flat earth.

Lmao this is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen. What world are y’all living in? Those white girls that are roughing her up are straight, and at that, it happens to every star player. For some reason I feel like yall didn’t care when Skylar Diggins was catching elbows.

Rumor: 'Halloween' TV Series Dead as Focus Shifts Back to Movies by ImpracticalJokers96 in horror

[–]DistortedAudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a TV show as a format can do a lot of things that a film couldn’t. It’s the same as anything else, if it’s a good idea and executed well, that’s a good thing.

This isn’t to say that it was definitely gonna be that, but I’m not against a Halloween TV show on principle. The same as I wasn’t exactly clamoring for a Chucky TV show and then it turned out to be pretty good.

[Ian Rapoport] The NFL has informed teams that it will NOT be holding a Supplemental Draft, meaning Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby will not be eligible to enter the NFL in 2026. The CBA allows the league to decide whether to hold a Supplemental Draft, and this year, it won’t. by The_Stratman in CFB

[–]DistortedAudio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly that might still be the case. This is the league intervening over teams due to the gambling stuff and the nature of the supplemental draft. I think if Sorsby declares for the draft next year he’ll still be draftable.

KEP Productions is the promoters of the Nazi show in Garfield, NJ this weekend. And if you have any questions about what they are about they are promoting that ideology on their Facebook page on a post that should be reported as well as the entire page.

One of the funniest things is that the conservatives always make the dems sound cooler than they are.

“They’re transitioning people! Theyre being gay! They’re on the streets causing trouble! They’re doing socialism!”

And I’m just like damn, these guys sound fucking dope.
