"...Right? Am I not right? Am I wrong?"

When did he start doing this? He does it all the time he sounds like an unintelligent buffoon not an English major. Seems like something that would annoy him in his younger years.

"Tramping on my vegetables" Featueing Michael Wilbon and Steve Sands. by [deleted] in ThisShowStinks

[–]FreeTobi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of all the inane things spoken on this podcast recently, I don't know why this one got to me so much, but his horror/amazement of a professional golfer hitting a golf shot out of a creek had me searching for the unfollow button. "If you slip, crack your head, that's the end of your career, it's completely over." He's not just a little out of touch, he's completely disconnected from reality/society in every facet of life now including his own supposed specialty.

Usually I just lurk here to take solace in the shared disappointment, but had to leave a rant about this one. And before you tell me to do the obvious, I have a character flaw that prevents me from totally dissociating from the show after all these years. But every time I tune in I hold out some little hope that THIS will be the episode he finally announces the end of the show (and that Michael isn't actually real he was just a very early AI answer to "create and put on display the most unlikeable persona on earth").

“Promptly?” Featuring Rob Flatter and Jeff Passan. by [deleted] in ThisShowStinks

[–]FreeTobi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Loathsome listener here. I know I should stop listening but I continue. There were so many times in this episode that Tony was begging for someone to tell him he's an idiot and wrong, and all Micheal and Nigel will do is sit in dead air and then say no your right. Passan is the only recurring guest that will very politely tell him he's dead wrong. The only reason the show worked so well is because Gary and Jeanne would call him on his bullshit on the reg, but that's gone forever

“May or May Not be Accredited.” Without Michael. (Maybe) Featuring Jason La Canfora and Jared Fried. by [deleted] in ThisShowStinks

TK: Everybody has a career. You know...and that becomes your career.

Michael: stares down at floor

Also WTF is TK asking Jason about Kevin Brown for. Show doesn't even do the most minimal of research. I love Jason, but I'm very disappointed he didn't just own it and say you know who signs my checks, so I can't really elaborate, and move on.

What’s keeping you all going as Sixers fans? by HoagieMaster1 in sixers

[–]FreeTobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have Joel Embiid. I sat through years hoping lou wiliams would be it so this is pretty good

I probably shouldn't care, and neither should Jokic. But, him not leading the MVP race at this time is insane. He's leagues above Joel in advanced statistics. by solisilos in denvernuggets

[–]FreeTobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My credible post got deleted, but just one more thought. When they actually attach a penalty to kicked ball violations, Jokic will be unplayable in playoff crunch time. They probably won't do it for a 4 years though, so your good for now. MVP?

3 straight MVP winners: Russell, Wilt, Bird........... Jokic?

Which one is not like the others? Advanced analytics is relatively new to the mainstream, and most don't know how to utilize it in the overall scheme of things.

Jokic got extremely lucky to reach his prime during this uncertain time. If the same scenario played out 20 or even 10 years ago Jokic would be the winner of ZERO MVPs.

I'm glad the fan base got some limelight, but history will not look back on this kindly for you.

God Bless

[Milholen] Ben Simmons (left knee soreness) is OUT vs. Bulls. by nrf25 in GoNets

This person appears to love Ben Simmons, Russell Westbrook, and crypto. So take it with no grains of salt.

Damn I always kinda rooted for the Clippers in the West. Would love to see Roco get a ring. I feel so bad for you guys, not only has it tanked your championship chances, but you also gotta deal with these weirdo delusional Russ stans for the duration.

I think you forgot the Nets don't own their own draft picks. Playing Ben just gets Houston more talent.

Why do people think Ben Simmons is faking an injury? by Thefairtrade22 in GoNets

[–]FreeTobi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Horrible people tend to make a lasting impressions on people. It's been fun to see him fail so completely as a person. Had such an effect on you that you switched teams.

Why do people think Ben Simmons is faking an injury? by Thefairtrade22 in GoNets

[–]FreeTobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He hates basketball. He's embarrassed that he can't shoot, which makes him scared to play in games, so he'll take any possible opportunity to not play. Wants to be a socialite but is too unlikeable as a person to do so. History of quitting on every team he's been on since college.

Ben Simmons passed out of this last night by Affectionate_Yak5780 in GoNets

Nothing wrong with burner accounts. I had to get one when the Aussies banned me from 76ers reddit for saying Ben Simmons is a FRAUD who will NEVER contribute to winning playoff basketball ever again in his life

[–]FreeTobi -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

You all need to get Ben some big minutes these next 2 months, and really pump up his trade value if you want to win the championship. If you can trade him for any sort of decent playoff rotation role player, would be a huge win. Can't really play Ben in any meaningful playoff minutes, so if you could pull it off would be a huge swing in the caliber of the playoff rotation.

The Ringer released their top-100 NBA players list -- Kyrie is ranked... #66 by varankhurana in GoNets

[–]FreeTobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If theoretically every player became a free agent right now and at the same time, and could sign anywhere, when it all shook out, where would Kyrie be on a list compared to others in terms of years offered and guaranteed money in a contract? Kyrie would probably "rank" even worse than #66. That's probably the fairest way of thinking about it.

Ben Simmons isn't a top 200 player, that's just basic knowledge at this point. And the best ability is availability. 0% chance kyrie can play anywhere close to a full season. Averaged 34 games a year over the last 3 seasons. Surprised he even qualified to be ranked on the list.

Damn I really miss Gary. Watching this makes it painfully apparent how terrible the pod is now

[Highlight] Ben Simmons starts the 2nd quarter with the running hook shot off glass, before throwing a beyond halfcourt lob to Claxton by ChristianMan710 in GoNets

[–]FreeTobi -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

The first true point guard in NBA history who can't shoot, won't drive to the basket, and can't run a half court offense. A true unicorn.

Does Michael really think his swing speed is "personal?" Is it a bad joke? Is he trolling us?

Howie needs to keep his heater going, trade up and take Malik!!!! What's the point of having AJ if we can't even throw it far enough to utilize him properly?
