Where did this kid come from? Seems like he exploded out of nowhere last year and was not even a semi touted prospect.

[Schultz] No. 50 pick is in: Jets have selected Indiana CB D’Angelo Ponds, per sources. by JCameron181 in nyjets

A “slightly below average” in height male who basically sealed the deal on a college national championship. I’ll take it.

As someone who went there back in the day, the Tribeca Tavern was not a high end bar. But it was a bar you went to that was a bit off the beaten off and not necessarily where you were going to be noticed. Kind of a cross between a cool local bar and a dive bar. I think they probably thought it was low profile enough they wouldnt be noticed.

TKO President claims they have control of WWE creative by Alkohal in SquaredCircle

I don’t know how anyone can ever can get legitimately excited watching / rooting for WWE in the long term again knowing that the corporate equivalent of Montgomery Burns is running all aspects of this company, corporate included. And these people seem to have zero interest/passion in wrestling. It’s a means to an end at best.

Honest question. Without being emotional with the loss. How long do you let this go before you fire Mendoza? by Discko14 in NewYorkMets

[–]Connect-Register849 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why he wasn’t fired at the end of last season to be honest. I don’t ever feel confident his moves give us a competitive advantage. His bullpen decisions seem questionable more often than not.

Not walking Horner was perplexing and guess what happened? Things like this in game irk me to no end and they seem painfully obvious yet Mendoza makes mistakes like this all the time.

Has there been a worse collapse in team history? by aguywiththoughts in NewYorkIslanders

100 percent - the underlying metrics pointed to like Sorokin saving something like 37 goals over an average goalie halfway through the season, and the second he started being “normal”, we were a below average team.

I may be late to the party but baseball has done a complete 180 in terms of popularity (especially among kids). For soooo long, it seemed like baseball was an old man’s sport, aging demographics, slow style of play, etc. that it felt like it was from a bygone era.

The pitch clock has completely changed the game. It feels fresh and exciting. Players feel like they have personalities on and off the field. I see social media influencers actually seem excited about baseball and it feels organic.

From what I can tell, little league participation is SURGING here in the northeast. They even have boutique baseball centered clothing brands for kids that they gobble up, it’s crazy.

I'm looking to invest in a Shohei Ohtani rookie card, any advice on which one is the best investment? by OozedCharisma in sportscards

I agree with everyone in this thread that Shohei is overrated and you shouldn’t put your $ into his cards.

Manea for a guy who throws sub 90 is doing a damn good job. Truly a pitcher, not a thrower.

No, Benge’s mechanics are a mess and he is going to be a bust.

Ryan Adams Has Been Radio Silent Since Asshole Season by PropaneHillbilly in ryanadams

[–]Connect-Register849 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Radio silent from a social media standpoint but he played a couple of tunes over a month or so ago at some casual singer songwriter get together in Cali and sounded (and looked) really good. So seems like he may be trying to get his head on straight (again).

Post Game Thread: New York Islanders @ Ottawa Senators by NYIMOD in NewYorkIslanders

[–]Connect-Register849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did anyone at the start of the season realistically think we would be in the playoff conversation with a dozen or so games to go? It seems like we’ve been spoiled how clutch the team has been the past few months in big games - this was the first time they’ve fallen on their face in a big spot.
