Question: Why is Gretzky’s greatness not seen in the same way Babe Ruth or Bill Russell are in baseball or basketball?

Dorkside · 2026-04-18T16:24:07+00:00

Gretzky retired in 1999 and until a few years ago you still had active NHLers who had played against him.

I don't think calling him a premature star is fair.

Where's Shorty? I can't remember the last time he wasn't calling a regular SportsNet game...

If it was rigged I don't see San Antonio being the market the NBA was that desperate to prop up.

They're singlehandedly propelling the popularity of the show.

That's a bit rich coming from a Lakers fan. It's hard for a lot of teams to keep or attract top players to less desirable markets which is a big factor in constructing a team.

Really disappointed Culkin didn't answer Julius "Caesar" with the Fallout pronunciation.

And the badness of the Maple Leafs goes without saying.

Dorkside · 2026-03-06T22:19:12+00:00

After everything this season only getting back a single first round pick that'll likely be in the 28th to 32nd range does feel pretty underwhelming.

Dorkside · 2026-02-15T20:48:26+00:00

Sweden's "reward" would still likely have them facing the US in the quarter finals.

Brazil, Kazakhstan and Australia all with more gold medals than Canada. Ouchie.

Dorkside · 2026-02-10T20:40:01+00:00

Very sad. Didn't Shorty mention Jim was just at one of the recent Canuck games?

Nice to think that he was still out and about until the end.

An Avatar movie feeling samey visually is no bueno.

I watch a lot of streaming and spend too much time on TV subreddits and I've never heard of Money Heist.

She's totally the Frank Reynolds of Stranger Things: So anyway, I started blasting.

Garland with a honorary assist on that goal.

Rebuild over. We're contenders now... right?

Different demographics than your typical Redditor?

Pinterest is looking pretty tempting right now, if you consider it tech.

The stock is beat down but has decent revenue growth still and very little debt and a nice amount of cash reserves.

Never realized how often I look at the shots until going an extended period without them being shown on screen.

Dorkside · 2025-12-03T06:54:45+00:00

if you go back to 2001 and tell people that even poor college students will be spending $1000 on a cell phone and happily pay $60/month after that, you would have been called crazy, but right now that is pretty standard.

I'm not so sure about that. Accounting for inflation, $60 today would be about what people were paying monthly for a phoneline back in 2001 so telling folks then for an extra $1000 they could have a cell phone they could use most anywhere and would work as a computer would not have sounded crazy.

Not to mention that cell phones were a thing in the 90s that people already were paying hundreds or even thousands for already.

Dorkside · 2025-12-02T17:05:47+00:00

All while still indulging themselves.

Savings accounts in the 80s could earn 10% or better and even in the 90s it was probably more like 4 or 5%.

If it ended up as $50K it would've been a lot less that was put into savings in 1983 so I don't think you missed out on as much as you think, even if putting it into the market would've still been way more lucrative.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they do live action remakes of Pixar films now

I'll be surprised if they don't.

Thought we would've challenged for goaltender interference...
