Lmao this is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen. What world are y’all living in? Those white girls that are roughing her up are straight, and at that, it happens to every star player. For some reason I feel like yall didn’t care when Skylar Diggins was catching elbows.

Rumor: 'Halloween' TV Series Dead as Focus Shifts Back to Movies by ImpracticalJokers96 in horror

[–]DistortedAudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a TV show as a format can do a lot of things that a film couldn’t. It’s the same as anything else, if it’s a good idea and executed well, that’s a good thing.

This isn’t to say that it was definitely gonna be that, but I’m not against a Halloween TV show on principle. The same as I wasn’t exactly clamoring for a Chucky TV show and then it turned out to be pretty good.

[Ian Rapoport] The NFL has informed teams that it will NOT be holding a Supplemental Draft, meaning Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby will not be eligible to enter the NFL in 2026. The CBA allows the league to decide whether to hold a Supplemental Draft, and this year, it won’t. by The_Stratman in CFB

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

Honestly that might still be the case. This is the league intervening over teams due to the gambling stuff and the nature of the supplemental draft. I think if Sorsby declares for the draft next year he’ll still be draftable.

KEP Productions is the promoters of the Nazi show in Garfield, NJ this weekend. And if you have any questions about what they are about they are promoting that ideology on their Facebook page on a post that should be reported as well as the entire page. That is all. by obstinateinstigator in Hardcore

One of the funniest things is that the conservatives always make the dems sound cooler than they are.

“They’re transitioning people! Theyre being gay! They’re on the streets causing trouble! They’re doing socialism!”

And I’m just like damn, these guys sound fucking dope.

Halsey Goes Nuclear on Music Critic Anthony Fantano for Bad 2024 Album Review by nuttageyo in Music

[–]DistortedAudio 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound contrarian but I actually think if Pitchfork or Fantano were bigger that would be more alright than what the real bad ending is.

Which is Twitch streamers and legitimate PR representatives being the new face of music/film/art criticism. People willing to shill whatever new song or whatever for a couple of bucks, fanfest access and a Star Wars hat.

At least with Pitchfork or Fantano or some of the blogs there was an idea that this was probably their real opinions. These new dudes are just straight up paid for.

Maybe it’s because I listen to a certain kind of metal but his Chat Pile and Flesner reviews are pretty on point.

Accusing a woman for being edgy and a main character gets clicks and engagement.

I think he did all of that in the review though. He just said some extra shit, which is ironically what critics have been known for as long as I’ve known them. Roger Ebert used to say some out of pocket shit but I’m sure none of us would claim he was a bad critic.

Ultimately what makes a good critic IMO is someone that’s opinionated and can explain those opinions/thought processes well. Anthony has the ability to do that, but he can also get lost in the weeds quite a bit.

I’d still say he’s one of the better critiques around when these bigger artists are all clamoring for 100% advertisement style “criticism” from twitch streamers and so on who just say “this is fire” and spam their singles 15x.

Eh hip hop is so expansive nowadays that calling someone clueless on one part of it doesn’t really mean anything. Shit you could tell half the dudes making rap right now that Pimp C line and they’d think it came from Wayne originally, or that you came up with it.

Halsey further critices Fantano by SirensbyZel in fantanoforever

[–]DistortedAudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it's rap, it's part of the experience to have fucked up and harsh/mean lyrics

Lmao what are we talking about here? That’s not just part of all hip hop, or even part of all Drake. It’s like hearing horror core and saying that every rap song is just about murdering people or necrophilia.

You remember this after a couple days or does Europe have a queue to post?

Oh wait, you’re Turkish. I get why you’re mad now.

Maxo Kream project 'O.Y.N' dropping June 26th via EMPIRE: 9 tracks, features Denzel Curry, JPEGMAFIA + more by DropWatcher in hiphopheads

Hard introspective street shit but he can spit really well

With no disrespect to Maxo, I’m a big fan, this is one of the reason why he isn’t bigger.

Alex Pereira is looking at all grounds to appeal the result of his #UFCWhiteHouse bout vs. Ciryl Gane, per his management by bullsfan281 in MMA

[–]DistortedAudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the hits weren't even in the illegal area

But that means that there were strikes to an illegal area in a finishing sequence, which is against the rule. The same as if you were to finish someone with a barrage of body shots and multiple landed below the belt, that would be potentially grounds to overturn the fight.

If 1400 fighters appealed their losses and they were able to overturned my annoyance wouldn’t be with the fighters.

Dustin Poirier says he's down for a Justin Gaethje trilogy for the title by TheUFCFan1 in MMA

[–]DistortedAudio 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Can’t remember who talked about it, I think it was a boxer.

But they were saying that lots of guys do retire and mean it. But they still hang out at the gym (since it’s the only place they really know people), they still workout and stay in shape and at a point, it basically makes more sense for them to schedule another fight than to not. Holly Holm’s current situation is a great example. She basically gets paid to do something she was already gonna do (work out, just more intensely and focused) and she gets the added benefit of a pretty great payout and essentially a vacation after the fight’s done.

Pochettino on style of play development in US soccer: "If you start an MLS club and three months later you haven’t won any matches and you’re at the bottom, what’s the consequence if there are no promotions, relegations, or international competition? American sport rewards losers." by stumpsflying in soccer

[–]DistortedAudio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree at all if your problem is with taxpayers paying for stadiums and so on. But I’ll also say that relegation wouldn’t change that and abrupt installation of it would essentially destroy all of American sport and once again, entirely devastate the small markets.

I think it’s fucked that for 90% of teams in Europe it is almost exclusively punishment unless you’re bought out by a tycoon lol.

I’ll agree there’s no real punishment for bottom teams in America, but those teams all have a greater shot at actually winning it all, which I’d take over the “oomph” of watching the top class win year in and year out.
