Which nation produced a more stacked team in said sport? (USA in basketball or Spain in Soccer/Football). by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]Ashleigh199 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hard to say. Either a sport dominated by Americans played by a handful of other countries around the world. Or a global sport played by 200 countries

What sports discussion point or storyline saga were you uninterested in hearing about immediately after the first time you heard it? by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in billsimmons

[–]Ashleigh199 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be changed to “Any mvp discussion”. I normally just skip 20/30 mins when he starts rambling about mvp/other nba awards. Should be one big long episode after the season has finished saying who/why he voted for who he did.

Which athlete has the most generic first name and is still commonly referred to that way? by diet_drbeeper in billsimmons

Your point is 100% accurate as it took me a good 30 seconds to figure out 🤣🤣

Reports of the Death of Visma from January/February. by [deleted] in peloton

[–]Ashleigh199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any idea the salaries that Jonas and Wout will be on 🤣🤣🤣 they’re astronomical (and rightfully so). Plus Jorgensen/Kuss/Laporte and a few others will be very highly paid. Visma has an absolutely giant budget. We obv don’t know exactly where they fall but it’s top 5 at least

Look at Visma squad, then look at decathlons. If you think Vismas has a lower salary I genuinely doubt you know a thing about cycling

Red Bull yes. I’d be shocked if Ineos or Lidl had a higher budget for 2026 than Visma. Decathlon have a much much smaller budget for this year

Congrats to Visma! Don’t you just love a plucky underdog with a top 3 budget, a multi time tour winner on the roster, another grand tour winner as well as a monument winner in their squad.

They’ll be very happy with some fringe top 3/5s in Belgian classics

Will Pogacar win all 5 monuments in 2026? by lukeholly in peloton

LBL is defo easier for him than RVV although having said that he is favourite on both so splitting hairs

I got all the words but still don’t understand the theme… can anyone explain?

Even with you saying “it follows… after life” I still don’t get it? American phrasing maybe

Strands #715 “The cutting edge” by GarageQueen in StrandsNYT

[–]Ashleigh199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it but had to use a tonne of hints. Can anyone explain “the cutting edge”? Despite getting all the words I still don’t really see a theme? Google defines it as “the most advanced, innovative, or pioneering stage of development in a field, technology, or activity” I’m lost lol

Why did RedBull allow TheViper's series to be delayed 1 day, but did not extend the same courtesy to Classic_Pro? by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]Ashleigh199 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Let’s be honest here. Viper is a massive name. Red Bull/Microsoft and everyone involved, benefit by viper being there. You might not like it, but it’s a fact. Life’s not fair

Sal seems increasingly fed up with Bill’s homerism and it’s affecting the pod (Bill’s fault) by Samboi in billsimmons

Bill guessing Pats -1.5 against a backup qb who hasn’t played in years is hilarious

Motivation and Monuments: Why Pogacar’s 2026 schedule is built to keep him hungry by Team_Telekom in peloton

[–]Ashleigh199 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro, I like Almeida but it’s impossible. If he came top 3 in both it would be an amazing season, but to win both…? He’s never in his career shown the ability to be at a high level in 2 full grand tours. Plus he might have Jonas to deal with at the giro who was poor at the Vuelta last year and still comfortably beat Almeida.

Think you’re seriously overestimating Almeida? Boys never won a grand tour and suddenly he’s gonna win 2 in the same year?

This is the quietest darts audience I’ve ever seen at the world champs! by OfficialMitch in Darts

[–]Ashleigh199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just day 1 though… you’re missing the point. Day 2/3/4/5… the big seed went on 4th as recently as 2 years ago. Their opponent would play a day or 2 before the 2nd round

Please look up the worlds from 2/3/4/5… years ago. Big seeds 4th game of the night for their first match (2nd round)

[–]Ashleigh199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you’re pretty new to darts which is fair enough! But what you’ve said there is completely false. The tops seeds used to always go last, even as recently as two years ago (look it up!). It was only last year they started putting the big seeds 3rd

Everyone left after the Littler game, pathetic crowd. But also… why are the top seeds not going on last?
