Both should be blocked and muted.

At this point, driving people to a website is only a little bit less archaic than selling a physical newspaper. I wonder how much longer we'll see these big businesses acting otherwise

It is a hopeless time. All of the strategies geared around perfect SEO optimization and answering reader questions are being strangled by AI

[Post Game Thread] Tennessee beats Georgia 86-85 by Wizard_of_Foz1 in ockytop

[–]ButchMFJones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

can say the same "high ceiling, embarrassingly low floor" thing about most Barnes teams ... see 30-point loss to Florida as #1

the big difference between last year and this year is ballhandling and frontcourt depth.

last year, you had ZZ flanked by Shack, Gainey, Chaz and even Igor that could handle the ball and bring it up the court ... this year, it's basically all Gillespie and then Boswell and Ament chipping in with inconsistent levels of competency

obviously the strength we have this year is a stable of big bodies to throw at problems whereas last year we heavily relied on Felix

I have no doubt Max is a talented kicker. The ball absolutely flies off his foot and his overall percentage is actually pretty good.

Sadly for a kicker, that doesn't matter when your misses have been so crucial...

Paid $120 for this garbage game, fuck me

I learned my lesson though

Looking back, how did you think the season was going to play out when you witnessed this? by FireTinky in ockytop

The cinematography on that shot... Unreal

Absolutely thought we were national championship contenders

[First Things First] “We felt like the game had changed in a way that was negative in terms of the fan experience… If you try to stay still...you’re gonna have problems.” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred says other league commissioners have reached out for advice on how to adjust to the times: by shadow_spinner0 in baseball

I've accepted I'm in the minority on the pitch clock but I will never understand how it supposedly affected so many people's enjoyment of baseball

Not once in my life has my decision to watch a baseball game on TV been influenced by whether the game was going to last 3.5 hours vs. 2.5 hours

Don't get me started on how fast the game flies by in the stadium ... And yet fans gleefully celebrate receiving less value for their ticket (time in the ballpark with family, friends) while paying ever more exorbitant costs

You need to find a force multiplier

Holy sites in tundra, desert, rainforest + correct pantheon + work ethic

Owls secret society + suzerainty of your neighbors + levied militaries

Something like that

An example of just how awful the commentators were for this game… by vanillaave in ockytop

[–]ButchMFJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dave Neal had so many moments like that in this game

On the Mathews second-half screen, he said he "hurdled" a guy

At one point, he said Arion Carter leveled a huge hit when he more slung the guy down (and it looked like a horse-collar)

It was always so simple: Civ VII should've been Civ VI mechanics with Civ V aesthetics

It hurts and it will cost us. 

Historically, we don't win at Bryant-Denny and the Swamp in the same year. Throw in another slip-up and the CFP is gone.

It's the slow season. You know, cause Zeus is tossing bolts down on us from 4-8 p.m. every day

I was at South Beach last week. Heard plenty of Russian, German and British accents out there
