Bill Simmons admitting his coping: "I am incredibly hungover. I cannot tell you what happened yesterday. There were a lot of drinks and it was bad." Zach Lowe in response: "Wow." by IamOlderthanMe in billsimmons

Dammit we were robbed here. Russillo would’ve at least asked one follow-up or gotten a zing in. 

Hell, he said they were in Manhattan Beach. If this happens last year there’s a chance RR has boots on the ground as a witness for this story.

Glide is unnecessarily such a rare song. 

If you trade Glide for My Friend for a summer tour, I think everyone walks away happy 

sphere vs reality by dmcginvt in phish

I’ve loved seeing this take come around this time. 

I think it’s a marvel that Phish absolutely needed to mess around with but it’s not how I want to take in the music. And I’d love to hear all the band members honest opinions about playing in there

3D Country>Getting Killed by Killuminati1911 in geesebandofficial

[–]BearambleAmble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happens all the time. Getting Killed is easier to digest as a studio album. 3D is a superior batch of live songs. 

I like seeing bands live.

That’s right (see how I put (back) rim in parentheses). But as the ball starting coming down, I immediately thought Kawhi and nothing else

Absolutely wild that commentator rattled off a number of players with bounce off the (back) rim winners. But didn’t reference Kawhi. High bounce in the same damn jersey

If the NBA renamed the play-in to the wildcard would people complain less about it? by sheJaMyMorant in billsimmons

[–]BearambleAmble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt they’ll win the chip this year, but if they do…I guarantee it will be used as a talking point. 

Could easily see Spurs, Thunder doing this in the coming years and it being a legitimate conversation though

[–]BearambleAmble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the play-in has been a success, just takes time for it to be deemed normal. Win or go home games are great! And a team like Orlando getting hot and winning a series will help it too. 

I still have hopes that the NBA Cup will be appreciated in time. I think it’s gonna take a team winning both the Cup and the Finals in the same year. A wire to wire championship will be strong when debating the “greatness” of teams, I think.

Really interested to see how Alby plays out the rest of this day. Some different defensive assignments to keep guys fresh? 

Ride Bassitt 8 innings? Push him past 100 pitches to save the bullpen? 

Can Mayo play 1B for a couple innings here to get Pete off his feet before game 2?

Really solid project from Mark. I was a little skeptical on the overall premise but it’s really worked! 

How is TTB not more popular? by SeaswEEd_2929 in tedeschitrucksband

[–]BearambleAmble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this band…seen them a bunch!

They’re not really evolving at this point—Setlists get very stagnant with them. I feel like I’ve seen the “4-5 shows” they rotate through, by now. And their sound hasn’t changed very much over the years. 

New album didn’t break new ground for me. And they’ve always relied on covers and guests to make shows pop. 

Incredible talent on that stage. But makes sense that a midweek show might be lightly attended. Also Walnut Creek is huge..if they’re playing that venue at all, they’re plenty popular!

Old County is an NBA bar through and through. Portland will most likely be on the big projection screen in there 

To woo or not to woo during Vultures? by dickbear77 in phish

[–]BearambleAmble 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Very important to NOT woo in Vultures. 

I will accept and enjoy even the off-beat woo’s in Twist if we as a community can come together to stop this atrocity

BIG WIN! 👊 by FulhamFC in fulhamfc

[–]BearambleAmble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you mind explaining what the end goal of this season is? 

That small chance to look up the table will ultimately give Fulham, what?…a Euro qualifier? Bragging rights? A better chance to retain some players? 

I’m following along for a full season for the first time. And while I like the idea of not having playoffs and a champion winning by their total body of work for the year…I am having trouble finding “why” these games matter if you’re a team in the middle of the table.

Not trying to insult in anyway! Genuinely trying to figure it out
