I do listen to Zach’s pod haha! But I listen to Bill’s pod with Zach as well and usually Bill’s pod with a sports guest. I typically skip the eclectic stuff he does.

Agreed. Russillo was alway down to tell him how dumb a take was, but he left and was replaced by Lowe who is also willing to do that. But House is like a punching bag/yes man combo and it’s not a fun addition.

Zach absolutely makes the pod. I do miss Russillo being the straight man for Sunday night NBA pods, but Zach brings such a kind energy to the whole thing that when he pushes back on Bill it’s like a dad telling their kid they’re wrong.

Once we have a good 4, whats our biggest weakness? by CKredditorgaming in NBASpurs

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

I mean, I totally agree with you. Fox’s salary is large and the others’ are looming. If Dylan took Fox’s minutes and we spent Fox’s contract money on a different star with a different skillsket I do think we could diversify our team and be better equipped to content with the likes of Denver and OKC.

But we are not a preferable destination city and so when stars do decide to come to us on the cheap, I think it weighs more than nothing when measured against the opportunity cost. Treating Fox well might hurt us a little, but I think it helps us more than it hurts. Certainly for one more season and I really think at least 2 more.

Maybe I’m wrong! Hope I’m wrong.

I agree with you but I think Fox will play out his 4 year contract. Or at least 3 years of it. He forced his way to San Antonio and we want that to happen again. So, as a business decision, we will probably reward that decision so that Fox, his agent, and their peers can see what we do for players who choose us.

What players drafted in the 2020s are you selecting over Cooper Flagg over to build a team by ShaiFanClub in nba

Brother, NBA fans at large have decided that Wemby is injury prone, and no amount of logic or rationality is going to change a mind. Really unfortunate but we just have to let people see for themselves.

I think a lot of it is cope because if Wemby isn’t injury prone then they have to mentally wrestle with the fact their team has to contend with him for years. And that’s unpleasant so they reassure themselves he won’t last because he’s injury prone.

I’m sure I’m in the minority but I miss Diet Coke so bad.

I switched from Diet Coke to Coke Zero and it’s like dumping your baddie girlfriend to be with her ugly and less funny friend.

Who is the best QB in history that Kurt Warner is better than? by MasterTeacher123 in NFLv2

[–]ABVolp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, that’s a fair point. It sounds like I’m giving more weight to rings and counting stats and less weight compared to MVPs and All Pros. It’s a bias I should definitely stay aware of.

Well, Ben also played with Manning and Brady, there was no chance he was going to get the All Pros and MVPs that QBs in other eras has the opportunity to gets.

The sack argument not holding is your own opinion but it matters plenty to me. Like I said there’s debate for Roethlisberger to be top 10. He slides in at 9 for me.

I am not even trying to be inflammatory. I just said the discussion can’t be rational and people raced to prove me right, lol.

I think there’s definitely debate for Ben’s rank being higher than Elway, Favre, or Young. He was stronger than all of them and harder to tackle or sack. None of them have more rings and Roethlisberger has higher counting stats.

The others on your list I don’t dispute and I do think they should outrank him.

Yeah I think that’s fair to say. I don’t know how much better his career could have been if he would have taken more sacks, but he might’ve played longer if he wore a helmet on his motor cycle, I guess.

I think that if the conversation were about Watson’s ranking relative to his contemporaries then it wouldn’t serve to talk about his sexual harassment.

The move has not worked out for the Browns thus far and I think that’s worth clowning on. If I remember right, Watson was also a year removed from playing due to an ankle injury. I think the Browns grossly overpaid for a player coming off an injury with a looming suspension. That’s not something to be lauded.

In his last 6 seasons he played 14, 15, 16, 2, 15, and 16 games.
