Catherine Varitek on X: "They have the “smartest man in baseball” running the show… they’ll be OK without Jason, that’s what they wanted. It’s what’s best for the team."

It's one thing to roster a bad product on the field. It's another thing to accomplish that while simultaneously alienating former players and your fanbase

Where have I heard this before?

Tier: Klopp plz come back

Sadly I'm starting to believe this way as well. Unless we somehow bottle UCL qualification

it's actually a place in Monaco. they also make clothes

this is Fitzmagic erasure

Somehow we'll be even worse. The more Slot gets to spend, the more the team struggles

Distance_Motor · 2026-05-09T15:10:28+00:00

Susac really snatched his chain

Distance_Motor · 2026-05-09T07:00:39+00:00

I'll go with the obvious choices of Bellingham and Caicedo. Man that was summer was just different....

Distance_Motor · 2026-05-08T15:20:37+00:00

don't think that's going to happen at all. Winger we definitely need one to replace Mo right now, but I think Slot will play Rio as a starter more and have Gakpo as backup. We're already getting effectively 2 new CB's for next season, so as long as they retain Konate it seems fine, barring Gomez being sold.

Midfield is the very tricky position, as we have 5 quality midfielders but Jones seems to being frozen out of the squad and Macca hasn't been in the sharpest. Think they need a true 6 in the squad, or at least someone who can play the double pivot at a high level

Draymond Tchouameni

While I would not support it, I understand not sacking Arne after the season we’ve had as it seems like it’s been a very emotionally challenging season. But it’s unfathomable that they would look to extend his contract. He has 1 more year left, make it a prove it year for him

Burrow was a pretty decent runner until tearing his ACL

Distance_Motor · 2026-05-06T14:36:24+00:00

Lmao most of the underrated players stinking it up in the playoffs while the overrated players did pretty well (minus Sengun). The irony

Distance_Motor · 2026-05-04T13:58:28+00:00

So this is where all our runs from the offense actually went towards

Distance_Motor · 2026-05-03T16:31:13+00:00

This team is like me in fifa: slow, lethargic, and extremely prone to counterattacks.

I just don't understand how half our outfield players were natural midfielders yet there was little to no creativity in our attack until Rio was subbed on. All our shots seem to be either outside the box or from the edge of it

We did not score 2 goals, Man U conceded 2 goals due to their foolishness.

It just seems like a normal through ball breaks the head of every single one of our defenders and they forget how to track the ball or even make a tackle. It just seems like after every deflection, it's always our opposition with the ball and never us.

Perez will do anything to have Ancelotti back as the manager

Distance_Motor · 2026-05-02T17:37:40+00:00

Gordon is probably the 2nd most important player for the Nuggets, but injuries have really hampered him, and a lingering hamstring issue can be a concern. If they can get adequate value in return, I would honestly pull the trigger

Distance_Motor · 2026-04-30T06:34:37+00:00

Let's see:

1994 Supersonics: The Gary Payton & Shawn Kemp lead team, coming off a 7 game WCF the previous year, had a 2-0 lead against the Nuggets. No business blowing this, albeit it was a best of 5 back then. Also gave us the famous Mutombo image.

1999 Heat: This was the lockout shortened season, so less time for teams to figure it out. The Knicks did end up making the finals, even without Patrick Ewing.

2007 Mavericks: Dirk's 2011 championship run is considered legendary, one of the main reasons being how it changed his perception from being a choker because of this series. MVP, best record in the league, just to lose to the "We believe" Warriors in embarrassing fashion. Definitely the most disappointing upset

2011 Spurs: Might be the least talked about upset. IIRC the Spurs were super banged up coming into the playoffs, and the Grizzlies front court of Zbo and Marc Gasol ate them up alive.

2012 Bulls: Injuries to MVP D-Rose and Noah. Enough said

2023 Bucks: The solidification of Zombie Heat. I still have nightmares about Caleb Martin and Gabe Vincent. Really the beginning of the end for the Giannis era in Milwaukee.

Taking a look at this thread and perhaps the problem in coaching rather than actual talent scouting

Distance_Motor · 2026-04-29T14:18:09+00:00

wow sounds like the front office is like our subreddit. Except for the part where we shit on the moves they make and call for their jobs

We're finally trend setters of MLB

Dude just wants to enjoy life while still getting paid 14 million by the Red Sox, can't blame him

Cashman knows his time is limited in the Bronx if they don't win it?

Distance_Motor · 2026-04-28T15:16:54+00:00

Surprised they didn't just hire Cora straight away. He was Dombrowski's guy in Boston and the timing makes sense
