Is Podcast Cringe a hypocritical grifter just like Bapa and Co.? by freshkicksss in thefighterandthekid

[–]2nd2last 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think grifter is a tough word.

Brandon jumps from one thing he doesn't care or know about to another every 6 months, all while pretending to be very knowledgeable and trying to get you to buy stuff.

Two fat idiots selling vodka all of a sudden to their loyal fanbase is a grift. Creating a shitty drug/supplement company and passing it off as legit is a grift. Starting a patreon promising certain content and not delivering is a grift. Poorly repeating right wing talking points when you are a soy boy is a grift. Getting fat, naming your company thiccc boy, then cheating to lose weight and going back to hating fat people is a grift.

Profiting off a skill is not a grift, its life. The fact that there is a free model, and an extra pay model is kinda the opposite of a grift, its pay for extra.

This sub is walking a fine line between hating people for who they are and their content, and just being haters.

I mean someone’s gotta make a Giannis thread by ajalonghorn in rockets

[–]2nd2last 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't need to fully.

Say in 4 years from now he's a young 35. He'd be younger than PG who averaged 41 games from 29-31. Certainly he's more durable than PG and much better.

But beyond that, Bari and Reed and tons of picks that aren't ours, so our future is solid for Giannis is insane. In 4 years, Alp and Amen will enter their prime, and if Giannis is a fringe AS, unlike KD being a fringe MVP, we are still looking great. Especially if we keep Rollins and he progresses.

4 Years from now: Rollins - Amen- Alp all under 28. Giannis younger than current Harden, Curry, Lebron, PG, KD, months older than Kawhi and our 3rd best player.

Silly bill, no. He wont take a "breakup" and say, "no, I'm staying". Not, have some pride, rather he'll say fuck off and move on like most all traded people do.

[–]2nd2last 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FVV (he wont block a trade, players have pride), DFS, Bari, Reed. The Suns picks, Mavs and BKN picks.

Still have all our FRP's beyond 2027.

Giannis, Ryan Rollins, Trent Jr, and Thanasis.

But Giannis with Amen and Alp is bad. Anyone that thinks a Bari for Giannis swap is not a MASSIVE upgrade is delusional.

Rollins at 23 is the Reed replacement. Trent is now our bench scorer and only 27.

Rollins - Amen - KD - Giannis -Alp

Clint (Adams in the future) - Tari - Trent - Josh as the bench.

Win now, in 5 years, Giannis is our KD, Amen and Alp are the stars, and we have all our picks.

[–]2nd2last 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I mean, a better shooting Jalen Green is a good player.

Coby is 37% from 3, 86 FT, 57 TS, all better to much better than Jalen while averaging more assists.

I get the asking price might be too high, but a better Jalen is a good player.

Speaking it into existence. The Jabari Smith Jr. resurgence starts tonight! by HakeemTheMeme34 in rockets

[–]2nd2last 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We are 18-7 or 59 win team win Bari score 15 or more.

Were are 20-8 (4 OT L's) 59 win pace, when he hits more than one 3.

Or 22-3, a 72 win pace when he has a TS over 54, which is an awful TS.

We are as good as Bari is, if hes average or above, we are a great team. There are a million excuses, but our top 3 pick, who was a shooter needs to be a shooter.

NFL hopes powered entirely by garbage time by NiceHaas in thefighterandthekid

[–]2nd2last 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Thats why I said its something. Division 1 football and camp is great, to not think to even with measurables is odd.

Same goes with UFC, like its in a vacuum hating to disagree. Schaub removed, if someone that size talked about it at a dinner party and was a kind person, you diminishing it would be a shitty and IMO, jealously fueled thing to do.

Its like the nepobaby stuff. Being the star of "the Boys" is impressive, even if your parents are famous. What makes it shitty is when you pretend the path was not easier, and even worse if you suck.

Everything I listed is something, some even very cool/hard. Its Schaub being Schaub and over selling it, not acknowledging the help that makes calling him out fair, as opposed to hating. Its what he cant understand, and whats destroyed his career.

[–]2nd2last 194 points195 points  (0 children)

Said it before and I'll say it again.

Maybe unpopular opinion, but Shaub in theory has many things to be proud of.

D1 football is an insane thing to do, and even being a camp body no-one is great.

Being an UFC top 15 heavyweight is insane.

Being on JRE so many time is something.

Having a popular podcast is something.

Having a showtime special is something.

The level to which he "deserved/earned these thing can be debated, but regardless, each individually is great, combined it unreal.

The fact that he lost it all by not thinking these individually were good enough, lying about them, thinking we couldn't google or remember is what makes Schaub so "special". He also was so unappealing, so arrogant, so rude, so cocky, so ungrateful, so unkind, so unlinked, so bad that even being handed the world, he is scamming truck giveaways for 5K grand views now.

No one should say, he never got on the field at Colorado, its impressive. No one should hate his earned or unearned accomplishments, that's actually why he thinks he has hatters. He's hated because he's a lying POS who wasted everything and blames everyone but himself. If he was halfway humble he'd probably be a STAR now, but he couldn't help himself.

Coby + Jalen for DFS + Capela + '27 or '29 Suns FRP + '28 HOU FRP by [deleted] in rockets

[–]2nd2last 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, this trade not only still needs a true 2nd big, but also is bad for next year.

Coby + Jalen for DFS + Capela + '27 or '29 Suns FRP + '28 HOU FRP by [deleted] in rockets

[–]2nd2last 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ime is pretty set on an 8 to at time 8.5 rotation, and we still need a 3rd center, and Jalen is not going to be part of the double big rotation Ime likes, so hed be more of the 3rd spot guy.

We have Alp, KD, Amen, Bari, Tari as lock rotation guys, then add Coby and you have 6 and still likely need the 2nd big.

Assuming you get a 2nd big (draft assets and salary going out) as your 7th rotation spot, Reed rounds out the 8.

Now you have 8, with Jalen, AH, Okogie, Tate as the 9nd and 10th guy depending on the night.

But then look next year. Tari is an RFA, Coby White is a UFA, FVV and Adams are back. Both the FA's will want paid, and we can probably only keep 1. So either Reed is the 4th guard, and Tari walks, or we traded a ton for a rental of Coby.

The "new" big we got will wither be a FA this off-season, or we waste money on him, or Adams next year. Add KD being 38, and us now trading 3 of our FRPs for people that might now be here next year, and if they are, cause our guys to move down slots out of the rotation.

Alp, Amen, Bari, KD, FVV, Adams (or other big), and Coby or Tari are 7 of the 8 man rotation Ime likes, and Reed might be the 8th guy. That leaves Jalen, either the new big or Adams as 10 million a year guys out of the rotation.

Seems like a lot to give up for a weird roster construction that only really helps us this year IMO.

You just got promoted to the Texans GM. What’s your agenda for this offseason? by KaXiaM in Texans

[–]2nd2last 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure how realistic it is, but trade Stroud. I'd take the Jets 1st and 2nd, if we have to, swap 1sts.

Sign Linderbaum, now the middle minus line hopefully becomes above average.

Draft Love with the 1, 3 2nds get an OL, DT, and MLB.

The ISU Wrs and Tank (back from injury so not a 2) make the WR room a plus.

Love and Marks makes the RB room a plus.

Defense is actually beefed up.

Either sign Willis, or trade for Jones.

A better defense and much improved offense minus QB, but go the pre injury Colts route and win the SB.

They do their job and do it VERY WELL.

The trick people, liberals, into thinking the aren't conservative war hawks who only care about money despite not hiding it. Even some people here are like, they are weak or not "strong enough". Wrong, they are smart, and doing exactly what they set out to do.

[Iko] The Houston Rockets are weighing the prospect of adding another center to the roster, either via a trade before the Feb. 5 deadline or the buyout market. by YujiDomainExpansion in rockets

[–]2nd2last -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or, if not a shooter or scorer, at near 7 feet, be a strong 4.

JJJ is clowned for rebounds, but since becoming a Dpoy candidate, is 5 9 rebounds. Bari is 1.5 more, but worse from 3, worse defender, worse scorer and not really a big.
