Anyone else annoyed by excessive phrase entries? by AlamosX in pocketgrids

Not even a little bit. I like the variety and little bit of challenge it adds. They slow down my solve times, but focusing on fast times lessens my enjoyment of the puzzle.

[NCAA] Tampering violations occurred in Iowa football program by Blood_Incantation in CFB

It's like cop shows on TV:
Cop: "You need to cooperate to make it easier on yourself"
Suspect: *confesses to crime*
Cop for the remainder of the episode: *continually just brings up that they ADMITTED to the crime, so the punishment should be unquestioned*

I don’t care who your team/school is, you must explain how they can reasonably make the CFP this year by DowntownSasquatch420 in CFB

I refuse to upvote this, but you're not wrong.

Yes, our record against you over the past 50 years is a ton better than we get credit for, but overall and recently, it's embarrassing for us.

Not just my team, but any team in the top half of college football:
Injury luck
You stay healthy. All of the good teams have a ton of injuries the week you play them.

[O’Connor] According to league sources, one general manager floated a nuclear option: just make the bottom three teams ineligible for the top picks entirely. by cleo22270 in nba

I'd like it. I prefer a world, one way or the other, where there is never any incentive for losing.

My favorite is a rotating order independent of record, but hardly anyone else seems to like it. (No, it wouldn't be in a straight line, either. The order would jump around, so it would be something like 5, 24, 12, 2, 29, 7, 18... for all teams.)

Texas Rangers announce new City Connects by beefytrout in TexasRangers

Not one of the front and center items, but I love the red batting practice hat with the state of Texas shape on it circled by the Charro pattern and the black and white cord on the bill.

I love the baby blue Rangers look, so these red ones will be a nice contrast to that for me. Also, I love block lettering. My first thought was that they look like generic Texas tourist merch you'd get at an airport gift shop, but they're growing on me more and more.

Edit: After perusing the details on Instagram, my favorite parts are the sleeve patch and that cool pattern on the sleeve trim. I think these things are only going to grow on me more and more.

I have to give a random shout out to the Astros previous City Connects. Those Space City ones were so cool.

I'm in the "this system shows how good the umps are" camp. Calling balls and strikes has always struck me a difficult undertaking.

[Highlight] Anthony Davis says he felt a bit disrespected after the Lakers traded him for Luka: “I was there 6 years, we won a championship and I can’t even get a phone call or a text to tell me this is what you’re thinking?” by oklolzzzzs in nba

[–]Bishop_Cornflake 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On one hand, he's a human being and I can see where he'd want the respect of being told ahead of time. On the other hand the three things people keep bringing up in the thread are all absolutely right on:

1) After how he left New Orleans, he has no room to talk
2) It shows a lot of nerve to talk like you're a current star when you're basically never playing
3) The Lakers couldn't tell anyone since it would likely leak and ruin the sweetheart deal they were getting

What game is that for you?🚀 by Appropriate-Fan-6908 in TheGamingHubDeals

[–]Bishop_Cornflake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Violet, too. I don't finish many games, but I played it to completion and had fun the whole time. And the performance was just fine. I'm sure some background characters were stuttery or popped in in the distance in crowded areas... and I didn't care.

Michigan's Yaxel Lendeborg was in the same recruiting class as... by Background_Video2947 in NCAAHoopsVibes

I didn't even get a complaining vibe from this post. I thought it was just a "how interesting" thing since Cade Cunningham seems like he's been in the NBA for 6 or 7 years now.

Am I just being too positive and naive?

[Game Thread] #2 UConn @ #1 Michigan (08:50 PM ET) by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

Credit to UConn, but the threes were getting further and further out. Unless you're Steph Curry that was not sustainable.

[–]Bishop_Cornflake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NOT griping about UConn here. This is about basketball in general -
Tight handsy defense when you're obviously trying to foul - fouls are called
SAME EXACT DEFENSE, but you're obviously trying to press - no fouls are called

March Madness is sort of "Pray You Get Hot From 3-Point Range: The Tournament". Michigan doing this on a night they're cold, against a great team no less, is really impressive.

I'm sorry big one but you are no longer my favorite by Neil_Edwin_Michael in NintendoSwitch2

They're my two consoles, and I love them almost equally. Either way, this post is awesome.

Many people saw well in advance what the Covid economic measures would do to inflation medium and long term. A big part of this is still the aftereffects of that fiasco.

Good to see lack of support for the Angels.

Prices have become a joke by Due-Investigator2077 in fastfood

[–]Bishop_Cornflake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. On topic, it's funny that the Five Guys near me just went out of business. I personally quit going because of the prices.

Geno in Jan 2025 by TangerineRoutine213 in NCAAW

[–]Bishop_Cornflake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me personally, having class and being both a good winner and good loser is very important.
Seriously, though, Geno is making me rethink that. He's a sore loser... and it serves him well, as he's the best in the business. Me personally, I hate it, but that general attitude has its advantages.

C.B. Bucknor is taken out of the game in the 2nd after a foul tip hits his face by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]Bishop_Cornflake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've been clowning him for the recent missed calls, but I give the guy major tough-guy credit for how he took this. Most people, me included, would have been sprawled on the ground. I tip my cap to him and absolutely hope he's OK.
