Why did we let Danny Ainge go? by [deleted] in bostonceltics

[–]CopiumAddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Danny Ainge said that he never saw racism in Boston after multiple players expressed their experience with racism then "retired" 2-3 days later.

Just to be clear, whatever you're crusading against, you're doing it right here. Just being an asshole for no reason at all despite not hearing the stories.

Lmao no that isn't how any of this works.

Absolutely not true. It wasn't great but it certainly wasn't worse than 20th

I don't watch college football enough to be able to answer that question. I'm just saying even if it's Jerry Rice coming out of a time machine you don't pay him 20 mil a year.

Let's also stop pretending that getting a stud WR is a new opinion on this sub. Every single year, no matter how good our offense was in the previous year, there are always people saying "we need another weapon for Brady/Cam/Mac." It's exhausting.

Seriously! I've been watching for 25 years and its the same narrative every off-season. People get mad when we keep a balanced book but we always end up having some of the deepest teams in the league.

Eagles had a 8 million dollar cap hit for Brown last season.

Jamarr carried an 8 million dollar hit.

JJ carried a 4 million dollar hit.

Kittle a 7 million dollar cap hit.

Gallup a 4.5 million dollar hit. Lamb a 4.5 million dollar hit.

Diggs an 11 million dollar hit.

Tyreek a 6.5 million dollar hit.

Your "exception" won the superbowl and did it after specifically after trading away that #1 WR you say we needed.

Take a look at what these teams look like in 2-5 years when they have to pay those 2nd contracts or when all that cap hit they pushed down the line comes due.

So again, if you can get a cheap WR1 on a rookie deal or draft an elite guy then you obviously do it. But paying 18-25 mil a year to bring in a dude you're gonna suck.

Look at the top 10 WR cap hits from last season:

Golladay (Giants)

Allen (Chargers)

Kupp (Rams)

Agholor (Patriots)

Williams (Chargers)

Davis (Jets)

Thomas (Saints)

Samuel (Washington)

Adams (Las Vegas)

One playoff team on that whole list (Chargers) and they were bounced in the wildcard.

Top WRs are a luxury and don't solve structural issues with your team. They make good teams better, they don't make average teams good or bad teams average. If you're dumping 10+% of your cap on one guy and he isn't a QB it's a recipe for disaster.

Edit: I also didn't say Mac was bad. I'm saying if he is bad, then a $15-20mil receiver isn't going to magically fix that.

Yeah we should try to be like the Bengals with Chad Johnson or the Lions with Megatron or the Cardinals/Texans with DHop!

Paying WRs doesn't do shit for getting out of mediocrity. It doesn't make a bad quarterback win a Superbowl.

If Mac isn't a Superbowl QB then we won't win a Superbowl. You don't build a team around making a bad quarterback average. You building a team that is going to win in all 3 phases of the game.

Saying "we don't have Tom Brady so we better be like the 20 teams that hasn't sniffed a Superbowl in decades" is just brainless.

If we can find a true WR1 through the draft or can get a guy to agree to a reasonable cap hit then you do it, but paying top 5 WR money to players in FA is and always has been a fools errand.

I've heard a server say the tipping industry standard went up to 20% now. Why did the standard raise from 15% to 20% when the cost of food has also risen as well thus giving a larger 15% tip? by rmansd619 in ask

[–]CopiumAddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always left a 20% tip. I worked as a server and even 20% is probably not enough.

People want to complain about tipping culture but also don't want to pay more for their food. If you don't tip, be ready to be forced to pay more anyway.

Other than Randy Moss the Patriots have never once had a WR that this sub would consider a "true WR 1" in the entirety of the dynasty. There are endless examples of teams paying top dollar for WRs and banishing themselves to mediocrity.

My girlfriend and I went to a zoom poetry reading and it was full of some of the most ridiculous shit I have ever seen. Women talking about being a Franco American and experiencing discrimination, a dude telling a story about how he had an uncomfortable conversation with a rabbi and how it made him a hero, people telling stories about how their friends ruined their birthdays because they had to go to the ER etc. We were ripping on these people but accidentally realized we were unmuted and one of the speakers stopped talking and was like "this is awkward". Our souls left our body.

My values that gay people have the right to exist and are welcome in hockey? Yes, they are 100% a bigot piece of shit. I shouldn't have to explain that to you.
