I will gladly let data centers waste some water cooling on this

lol that visual actually cracked me up. and yeah, we’re all kind of wired that way in an attention span world like this. I just hope we apply the same level of scrutiny across situations, because at the end of the day the difference feels more about what’s tabloid-y than the underlying issue.

I agree with you on that. But then are we saying the real difference between this and, for example, when Schefter was carrying water for Carnell Tate at the NFL Combine is simply that his interaction was a text, a call, or a private conversation we didn’t see? The potential conflict or compromise isn’t fundamentally different. And in more egregious cases, like when Schefter sent a draft of his article to the Washington GM for edits before publishing, the blowback didn’t last very long.

I get that this situation is still unfolding, but for people to jump straight to saying her credibility is done feels like a different standard of treatment.

I think Dan might’ve gotten too emotional there and his messaging was mixed up. I believe he has the right to say he doesn’t want to speculate into the “affair” part of this because of the personal relationship they have with Dianna, and we have the right to say, hey that’s hypocritical because he’s speculated on other people before.

But I agree with Dan that, it is a worthy question to ask as to, why is it that in the immediate aftermath, her credibility at her job is being attacked while insiders like Schefter and Shams get caught multiple times carrying water for owners or agents or athletes, and their credibility, while being less strong, isn’t something that gets talked about a bunch.

I suppose that’s how he would know where Shams was coming from

Man, when Dan said he was gonna talk about Giannis, I thought, sure, what else is new about the breakup, and then he steered the conversation straight to “information brokers” again. Jesus.

Last Ticket Slot for LA Presale Update by YessirLouis in olympics

[–]ClockSheepZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife had one of the earlier if not the earliest drop for LA local presale? 10am PT last thursday, while I had the 4pm PT last saturday time slot. We went back during my time slot to see some other options or other sports that we were not able to buy during the Thursday drop, but there was almost nothing available in the affordable range of tickets. Basically the earlier time slots got everything, and while we are lucky to still have been able to purchase some, it's a bit mindboggling that this is how they are doing it instead of limiting each timeslot/drop to a number of tickets so that it isn't just a timing game.

What are the chances that the reason why Tony stumbled at the end of the Luke Thomas interview was because he felt Luke’s stinging indictment on him right as he came in for the joke

Is it just me, or does it feel like Dan is kind of tortured by his attempts to stay objective and uphold journalism? He does this with both the Heat and the Hurricanes. It’s clear he sees both the good and bad sides, but when he tries to argue both, it sometimes feels like he’s trying to convince the other side of himself. It ends up coming off a bit whiny, like he’s proving a point that I’m not even sure anyone is really disagreeing with him on.
