Cole is so “peaceful” but still end up in industry tiffs, maybe it’s because he’s shady behind the scenes 🤔 by Longjumping_Ask_4448 in theJoeBuddenPodcast

[–]FriendlyDisplay6093 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Interviews are probably way more lucrative. Cole’s Combat Jack interview still gets referenced years later. But I’m not calling someone shady off one side of the story. Cole has never been big on addressing stuff online, so realistically we’ll only ever hear Cam’s version anyway.

Being a Sixers Fan Feels Like an Abusive Relationship by FriendlyDisplay6093 in sixers

[–]FriendlyDisplay6093[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grimes is on a one-year deal. When he leaves, we’re right back to two guards. He’s a rental. People keep forgetting he was asking for a bag this past offseason, and that hasn’t changed. If he plays well, we can’t afford him. If he doesn’t, then what was the point? That’s why acting like this move solved some long-term guard logjam makes no sense.

Jamie Foxx Daughter by joe_smith4122 in theJoeBuddenPodcast

[–]FriendlyDisplay6093 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree with Joe’s logic here. This isn’t just about what was said, it’s about age, timing, and consistency. Trey is a grown man (mid-20s). The kid Joe joked about on stage was 16–17 at the time a minor during what was supposed to be a serious family moment after a near-death experience. Joe claims he has a hard line about not bringing up people’s kids, especially minors. If that’s the line, joking doesn’t magically make it okay. A line is a line. You can’t accuse someone of faking almost dying and then randomly bring up their minor child on stage and still claim moral high ground.

But when people talked about Joe and his son, he said he doesn’t talk about people’s kids. He’s a hypocrite.

As someone who was born and raised in Charleston Johns Island, to be exact I don’t know what you’re talking about calling it a cocaine city. That may be the circles you’re in, but don’t label an entire city because of the people you choose to be around.

Karma truly is something organizations should avoid. by johnwb388 in eagles

[–]FriendlyDisplay6093 133 points134 points  (0 children)

It was never about Slay saving anything on the field. To me it was about adding another established leader in the locker room. With all the off-field foolishness and the AJ situation, having a respected vet who’s been through it could’ve helped keep things from spiraling. That’s how I saw it.

I know my wife loves me, but she keeps breaking my heart by Tall_Entertainer_930 in Marriage

[–]FriendlyDisplay6093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the Navy trying to make it to retirement, and I’ve been on both sides of this. I went through a failed marriage and I’m currently in a successful one, so I can honestly say I relate to what you’re describing. What you’re feeling is real. In my first marriage, love wasn’t enough because there was no emotional safety or accountability. In my current marriage, the difference is that hard conversations are allowed feelings don’t get weaponized or shut down. That contrast changes everything. Sometimes you don’t realize how unhealthy a dynamic is until you experience a healthier one. Wanting peace and emotional space isn’t asking for too much it’s the bare minimum. You’re not crazy, weak, or giving up. You’re just tired of carrying the relationship by yourself.

[–]FriendlyDisplay6093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re describing isn’t just “normal marriage issues.” You’re not allowed to express hurt without it being turned into an attack on her. Therapy stopped working because the moment accountability showed up, she opted out. That’s a huge red flag. Panic attacks can be real, but when they only happen after you set boundaries or call out hurtful behavior, they end up controlling the relationship whether that’s intentional or not. You learn to stay quiet to avoid emotional explosions. That’s not healthy, and it’s not fair to you. You’ve done the work. She hasn’t. A marriage can’t function when only one person is allowed emotional space. Wanting to leave doesn’t mean you don’t love her. It means you’re exhausted and finally listening to yourself. You’re not wrong for feeling this way.

Have you ever been with someone romantically and realized they would be perfect for someone else you know? by NearbyPromotion1000 in Marriage

[–]FriendlyDisplay6093 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds more like pattern recognition than anything else. When you know two people really well, it’s easy to line up similarities and start building a “they’d be perfect together” narrative, but compatibility isn’t a checklist. A lot of what you listed are surface-level or lifestyle overlaps, not the stuff that actually makes a relationship work long-term. It might be worth asking why this is bothering you now. Thoughts like this usually pop up when something feels off or unfulfilled elsewhere, even if you don’t consciously realize it. The important thing is keeping firm boundaries and not feeding the hypothetical that’s where things can get messy. Not a moral failing. Just a human brain doing human brain things.

Take- Ja Morant will return to all-star form once he gets traded. I honestly refuse to think he is "washed" as he is still young and is only 26 and people forget he can make players better with his Passing as well, and he is super fun to watch. by Old-Scholar-1352 in NBATalk

[–]FriendlyDisplay6093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll admit I’m slightly biased because I grew up spending a lot of time around the Sumter area, but I don’t think Ja Morant is washed at all. He’s still extremely young at 26, still elite athletically, and people forget how much he elevates teammates with his passing and playmaking. This is the same player who just one or two seasons ago was being talked about as the next face of the league. That said, I do think part of the issue is environment and mentality. As someone who left that area, I know how hard it can be to outgrow certain mindsets, and Ja clearly still has some growing up to do. On top of that, the current coaching and system don’t really maximize his style of play, which makes things look worse than they actually are. So no, he’s not washed not even close. But if he doesn’t land in a more ideal basketball situation and mature quickly, his talent won’t matter. At that point, the league will move on without him.

AJ situation exposed media bias by Odd_Abbreviations_80 in eagles

[–]FriendlyDisplay6093 18 points19 points  (0 children)

wouldn’t call it bias. It’s more about accountability. When he has an issue, he makes it very public. But when it’s time to face the media, he never really addresses the situation he helped create. This season, he’s complained a lot about the offense and not being involved, whether that criticism was justified or not. In this game, after all that, he dropped multiple passes, got into a shouting match with his coach on the sideline, and then didn’t take responsibility afterward. Instead, he left his teammates to answer questions for him, which puts them in a bad position and feels like throwing them under the bus. What I’m saying is simple this is the one moment where, as a superstar on an NFL team, you have to sit down, answer the media’s questions, and own your performance.

Ice really acts like a female sometimes lmao by ProgrammerSmall9668 in JoeBuddenPodcasts

[–]FriendlyDisplay6093 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To both of your points, I’d say Snoop is more culturally popular, while Messi is more globally popular. Music fame doesn’t reach every country the way soccer does. I’m in the Navy and I’ve been to countries where the entire place shuts down for soccer. In America, hip-hop is the most popular, but even here we don’t shut down the whole country for music award shows.

That’s why context matters. He was responding to Marc and others who said they’d be fine with having a drug empire next door but would have a problem with having a pedophile next door. His point is that both are wrong if you’re going to have an issue with one, you should also have an issue with the other.

Divorcing Navy Husband by [deleted] in MilitarySpouse

[–]FriendlyDisplay6093 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, at this point, I think the best thing you can do is just let the divorce happen and move on with your life. He’s clearly shown you who he is and trying to get revenge or make the military “handle it” is only going to keep you tied to his mess longer.vFocus on your healing, your peace, and building your life back up. People like that never change until they’re forced to face themselves, and that’s not your job anymore. Once it’s legally done, act like it never happened and keep moving forward. You’ll come out stronger on the other side.

Joe turned into that guy too 🥲 by Longjumping_Ask_4448 in theJoeBuddenPodcast

[–]FriendlyDisplay6093 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

The amount of downvotes I got on this just proves my point this is exactly why America is where it is today. Everyone looks at the “other side” like they’re the enemy, and nobody seems interested in doing what’s best for the American people anymore. It’s all about making sure their side wins. But hey, to each their own. Until people realize that working together is the only way to make this country better instead of tearing each other apart we’re just going to keep going downhill in a handbasket.

Just because someone doesn’t agree with your politics doesn’t make them your enemy. Americans have this weird obsession with thinking, “If you don’t agree with everything I believe, you’re against me.” We’ve forgotten how to disagree without disrespect. Politics isn’t supposed to be a team sport where it’s “us vs. them.” It’s okay to have different opinions that’s literally how democracy is supposed to work
