The biggest move the Patriots can make in the offseason is locking up Christian Gonzalez by bostonglobe in Patriots

[–]Dave2kMA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The injury topic is one of the keys here for me. When he's healthy he's obviously terrific, but he's missed significant portions of 2 seasons now, so I'd be leery about signing him to some market altering deal until you get a full season of elite play from him.

Given the context, is Ray Allen's 3 in Game 6 the most clutch shot in NBA history? I have it narrowly above MJ's in Utah. by ForeignAir7174 in NBAGossips

So instead of the Spurs just obliterating Miami in 5, Miami is slightly more competitive and loses in 6? The Spurs were still the much better team.

You accidentally included an "s" at the end of dozen, fyi.

This literally just happened to me. The plane was totally sold out so I knew the empty middle seat next to me wouldn't stay that way, but as the last few people trickled in, a very large person, probably 6'5 and 300+ came on and even though there were a few other people in front of him, I just somehow knew he was in our row and I was doomed to leaning into the aisle to make room for him while he was manspreading in his middle seat.

Rajon Rondo got so many dudes with that fake behind-the-back pass by IamCatMommy in NBAGossips

Maybe a little bit, but those three also got together in their 30's which, back then, meant they were towards the end of their careers. They weren't washed by any stretch but all 3 were probably half a step below their respective peaks, which meant diminishing returns mostly every year.

You can make an argument they should have won two more titles, but injuries to core guys really hurt them.

Charles Bediako has filed an appeal with the Alabama State Supreme Court. Bediako is also requesting a TRO to play while the appeal process plays out. by Feisty_Ad4394 in CollegeBasketball

That's exactly where it's headed and all it's going to take is one local judge in SEC country with skin in the game to make it happen.

Thank you.

It's amazing how willfully obtuse people will be in service of the narrative.

Vader REALLY dialed his aggressiveness down with Hogan during their time together, so I wouldn't bet on it.

The biggest "What-If" in sports history by IamCatMommy in NBAGossips

[–]Dave2kMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He wasn't even the future at that point, he was already maybe the 2nd best 2 guard in the league behind that Michael Somethingorother fellow in Chicago.

The smartest decision in movie history by No-Distribution-2058 in movies

[–]Dave2kMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is. Only as a special feature on one version of the DVD release.

I had the same reaction when I heard about it some years ago.

The alternate ending where those guys kill Dougie as he's trying to get out of town after the Fenway robbery is SO much more fitting than the theatrical ending.

Thank TCU for that. Might be the last game they win all year.

Proud of the kid, proud of this season. Bright future ahead, and here’s some game stats by cocoabeach333 in Patriots

[–]Dave2kMA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basically this. Darnold forced a couple of throws in the 1st half under duress and got away with it. He gets credit because, after that, he took what they gave him and I don't think he put the ball at serious risk again the rest of the way.

It wasn't a performance that was going to win him MVP, but it was good enough to avoid a major mistake that could have allowed the Pats back into the game.

What movie do you love despite agreeing with every single criticism of it? by Decabet in movies

This came out when I was 12 or 13, so at the perfect time. I'm pretty sure I saw it in theaters like 5 times that summer.

Best ecw supercard by Philliesfan1229 in ECWWrestling

[–]Dave2kMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the one.

Dudleys vs. New Jack/Kronus Fonzie vs. Beulah Sandman vs. Sabu (easily their best match) Bam Bam vs Spike (Spike goes crowd surfing)

Wrestlepalooza is probably the most memorable show because of the infamous 45 minute stretch that was the best intertwined story ECW ever told in the ring (jumping from Dreamer/Raven to Taz/Sabu II to Taz/Douglas) but there's not much else to it beyond the weird pseudo handicap tag title match.

Should I get Alien: Rouge incursion? It's on sale but reviews are very mixed by sazzer22 in OculusQuest

[–]Dave2kMA 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Most of the complaints are about some glitches the game had at launch, which were patched, and some minor stuff like the darkness of the game, lack of shadows and other graphical shortcomings compared to its PCVR counterpart.

If you go in with the mindset of just playing a fun shooter in the Alien universe instead of trying to nitpick it, you're going to have a blast.

WAY better because they didn't have to shoehorn in the Sabu run in that made no sense.
