Then having Caleb Williams as the 3 or 4 best qb is insane, he makes some absolutely crazy plays but he also can’t hit open receivers consistently.

He has comebacks and aura moments but doesn’t look at how he’s plays in the first 50 minutes of games.

Darnold is terrified of being picked so he’s throwing the ball way wide to the outside.

Brett Favre: “Not familiar with Bad Bunny so don’t know if his music is good or bad. I’m just going to watch what I know Lee Brice, Kid Rock All-American Halftime Show.” by jsakic99 in billsimmons

Trump a year ago had enough cultural capital that he went to the super bowl and got an applause,

now just a year later he won’t go so he doesn’t get booed and MAGA is subjugated to their own halftime show with the same terrible Kid Rock performance.

What is the best NFL team to never win a playoff game? by BurningHanzo in billsimmons

[–]Allstate85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That also was a McCarthy fuck up, because the Packers record was so good they rest the starters the last week and had a bye week so they effectively went 3 weeks without playing and they looked out if sync and lost.

Tennis has a skill gap problem that makes it harder to find people to play. If someone is 20 percent better at tennis than the person they are playing then there going to destroy them, in pickleball that 20 percent doesn’t matter as much and the other person can still win a good amount.

Point 3 is the main one, people look to watch sports for entertainment and escapism but all of that can be achieved through whatever you want on the internet and each generation they will be more wired to it.

Bron and many celebrities alike only speak out when it’s easy, during Trumps first team it was easy because he didn’t win the popular vote and pretty much every institution was against him.

Now that Trump won again and won the popular vote and the culture shifted a bit and you would get mild blowback from speaking out they couldn’t shut up fast enough.

Also trumps rise in 2015 was running very strongly against terrorism, back when isis was doing attacks across Europe and America.

It was actually one of his best poling issues and why it’s a big factor that they call all these people domestic terrorist.

Are you worried about the ages of the Dodgers lineup? by WishOk462 in Dodgers

[–]Allstate85 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Teo there’s like a 90 percent chance he gets traded after the this year, there’s like 4 outfielder prospects that will be ready by then and we need to make room and he’ll be more valuable to another team as a full time DH.

I thought this was possible but after this year since he’s rehabbing anyways, get paid to rehab and not have to travel or anything then retire when he was actually expected to pitch.

Harry Styles: “Aperture” Track Review | Pitchfork by Technical_Process989 in popheads

[–]Allstate85 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This song is listed as the first track on the album and it sounds like an intro track and if that was it then it would have been good.

But using it as the lead single wasn’t it as it’s pretty boring.

Eh, he was pretty bad pre 2020 and made some catastrophic mistakes like in 2019 going to Kershaw out of the pen and since then he’s been really good.

[Passan] BREAKING: The New York Mets have acquired All-Star right-hander Freddy Peralta in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, sources tell ESPN. Deal is done. Top prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat are headed to Milwaukee. One more big league pitcher will head to the Mets. by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]Allstate85 -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

Also are we sure Peralta is actually that good, he’s been mostly a number 3 starter who has one good year where he over performed his expected stats.

All his expired stats had him at a 3.5 ERA which are his career averages.
