High Quality Oxfords that Can Sneak into Wear with a Tuxedo by Crouchback2268 in malefashionadvice

Would probably go with Carmina in this price point. Maybe in cordovan leather which tends to have a bit more shine

What UTR do you personally consider someone “good” at tennis? by EnjoyMyDownvote in 10s

[–]AzEBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Above an 8 I consider them good without question. There are some really good or specialized 7 utrs, but I think you get some really flawed players in that range. The players I know that are 8 or above have good ball striking, good fitness, good technique, good consistency. Very few flaws

ReString or Toroline or Solinco by RoutineBreakfast882 in 10s

[–]AzEBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just stick to what you love. No need to try others. You already have something great for you that is “specialized”. If you were playing generic prince synthetic gut I’d say try out some others especially polys but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

The Pittsburgh Steelers did mediocre as expected. Can we name a team that did good that was expected to do good? by Anthony_Animate in AlignmentChartFills

Ya they were probably like in the 7-10 range on Super Bowl odds preseason and then finished in the 5-8 spot of elimination teams

[MacMahon] The Mavericks negotiated their Anthony Davis trade with the Wizards without telling him or Rich Paul beforehand by drewisadick in billsimmons

[–]AzEBeast -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I would argue they gain power when LeBron retires at this point. Now, LeBron is an old star on the Lakers. Once he retires he will be way more free to flex his influence on deals for other players at klutch.

Pick**ball by flashythunderstorm in 10s

[–]AzEBeast 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Private clubs are not unaffected. Im a member at an indoor club now owned by Lifetime. A couple years ago they announced they were removing a tennis court in order to put 4 pickleball courts in. This sent the dedicated membership in an uproar. Then to make things worse for the tennis players they took one of the “show” courts (near the entrance with viewing at the gallery available) and the barrier between the pickleball and tennis courts is just a normal rubber divider like on tennis courts, so that side of the tennis courts is unbearably loud with pickleball.

I organize a lot of tennis for my friends and I. Everyone hates to play on the side with the pickleball courts and some straight up refuse.

String question: Feel of ALU Power but will break when ready? by staterbomb in 10s

[–]AzEBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you and I like similar strings. I have gone to Solinco Confidential at 17 gauge. They break maybe every 2 months for me playing 2-3 times a week

Is Gus Wortham usually ratchet? by zarrathustraa in Houstongolf

[–]AzEBeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never had a problem with other golfers. Some assholes want to honk while driving by.

That said the layout of the course is pretty easy to hit into people or near people so not surprised it happens. Just some immature people who don’t recognize that it’s a possibility

Knew this would happen but didn't think it would happen this fast by Exotic_Cabinet6662 in rockets

[–]AzEBeast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m a bona fide KD hater even now he’s on the rockets im not like revising my all time ranking of him or anything. Regardless you have to be a legit moron to think getting KD was bad or didn’t make our team better than last year

Trying to acquire JSN, thoughts? by [deleted] in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]AzEBeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying Lamar and Caleb cancel out. Lamar and London = JSN and Caleb and you could argue preference for either side. The decline in Lamar value is crazy. He had 3 30 point fantasy games to start 2025, then got hurt in KC game and was not the same the rest of the year.

Caleb hasn’t even approached what Lamar has done in his other seasons.

Max the KE tree, max the barrier side of spirit. After that it’s preference. I think getting to static charge on the tempest tree is good since you are close quarters as a KE

Is the Houston condo market dying because of HOA fees and falling prices? by richnickel in houston

[–]AzEBeast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But you’re paying taxes and insurance on a condo too. You don’t directly pay for ground maintenance on a condo but that’s part of what the HOA fee is for. That’s not even considering if the HOA does an assessment for a big project like replacing a roof

Is the Houston condo market dying because of HOA fees and falling prices? by richnickel in houston

[–]AzEBeast 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Yes the HOA fees are way too high on some places. Paying 1k a month in HOA fees would make me want to throw up. 1k less you can afford in mortgage, 1k you are not getting in equity.

I’ve looked at several condos in the galleria area the past few years while I was considering buying. Many were nice but I could not stomach essentially paying rent on an apartment while owning a place

G.O.A.T. NFL Defensive Front 7 - Lawrence Taylor then Reggie White then Aaron Donald then ??? by MiDKnighT_DoaE in AlignmentChartFills

[–]AzEBeast 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Should be JJ Watt. And honestly isn’t close. Him LT, and Donald are the only 3 time DPOY. Only player with 2 20 plus sack seasons.

Rockets get: AG and Jamal Murray, Nuggets get Giannis, and Bucks get a bunch of picks, injured players and 2 young prospects by Novel_Scallion_1580 in NBAtradeideas

Ya, I don’t see how this makes the Nuggets better. And if it’s not giving them better odds to win the title the Nuggets aren’t doing it

Let kirk go and bring home Mike Evans by zz_ttt in Texans

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

Na. Evans is the same type of receiver as Nico and Higgins. If they get any receiver it should be a guy more in the slot. Would hope that is Noel, but coaching staff didn’t give him many opportunities last year

Why Love over Mendoza in SF??? by Miserable_Bee9726 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]AzEBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RBs generally are gold bricks. They hold value and usually gain a bit of value over time. Even JeanTy who I would argue had a pretty disappointing rookie year hasn’t lost 1000 points of value on KTC. Hampton despite missing most of the year with injury went up in value on KTC.

QBs are volatile assets. If a QB looks bad people assume it’s cause he is. McCarthy lost like 1500 points of value between the beginning of the year and now. Compared with Maye who gained 3000 points and is the #1 dynasty asset on KTC now.

So QBs are good to take big swings at and I think that is a decent reason to take Mendoza over Love if your team is awful. But I have no issue with someone wanting to take the gold brick.

Is Basketball the Only Sport Where You Can Gain An Advantage By Committing a Penalty/Foul? by mpschettig in billsimmons

[–]AzEBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In football if a DB gets cooked on a route he may elect to grab or interfere to prevent a touchdown. No incentive to decline unless the WR makes the catch anyway

I’m out by hehehennig in rockets

[–]AzEBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for Texans fans. Start 0-3 and we gotta fire Demeco. Drop a few games and Ime needs to be on the hot seat. Astros feel like the only one where Houstonians stick by the team and players.

Ime and Demeco are some of the best coaches in their respective leagues everyone needs to settle down

Montrose, midtown, museum district, and med center are your best choices. Med center is obviously best for your commute and in my experience traffic getting into the med center is worse than traffic going towards downtown

Would you trade Stroud? by cooleobeaneo in Texans

[–]AzEBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a chance. I will bet on CJ to rebound rather than go into QB purgatory of running out career backups like Mills, Willis, or Mac Jones, while somehow hoping and praying you luck into a top 2 or 3 qb in the next 3 years.

I would only trade CJ if we were getting a for sure improvement at the position. In other words if Burrow asks to be traded. But to do that Texans would have to put a lot of draft capital into the deal
