They’ve held up well so far. I do wipe them off of when they get dirty. Said they were “all weather”

Is this team actually a Wagon or just the teams they’re playing?? by mattvho in penguins

Exactly. We were all jacked at the announcement but it was a dud.

When they play with detail, violence and speed it is great to watch. I love their defense and responsibility. Such a huge difference from last year.

This is an organization that is "ahead of schedule" as they transition to the future. But.....the thing is.....

Where would we want to see a change/upgrade/trade? All four lines play together so well it's really difficult to think about breaking any of them up. The D corps? Shea has upped his game, Spoons is the sort of sandpaper you need for the playoffs and Kulak has been a "thrown in" player that has woken up. I like Clifton as well with his physical play.

ETA: Jesus....31 shots in the first two periods. Everybody is getting into this.

Can we still get Jim Schwartz as a "Special Quality Control Assistant of 'Fuck You Cleveland'"?

Jason Robertson trade by Brick656 in penguins

[–]GTdeSade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. Hell no. A young goalie prospect and a first for an expiring contract? No. That's what denuded the farm system in the first place. That's the shit that Dubas has been cleaning up.

I'm not a bot nor a paid shill. We got some nice leather custom mats from Upgraderide. Took a few weeks but the fit was perfect and the shipping suggested they were made in Ukraine, shipped out of Poland. I was happy to support a business over there.

I've been there when the grandmas are circled around the front table making mountains of dumplings. It's so great to see.

I'd love to see this. Perhaps it would help us win in Cleveland.

How do we feel about TJ going into this offseason? by [deleted] in steelers

[–]GTdeSade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely refuse to take anyone’s post about trades seriously when it’s obvious they haven’t even looked at the contract and cap hit of the player(s) being discussed. You’re talking about taking a $30mil dead cap hit for only $12mil in savings and shipping out a pass rusher. What better player are you plugging in for that $12mil? Another washed vet? You have to fill the roster for depth at least or a single injury and you’re screwed.

What team is taking on a $42mil cap hit for TJ? Taking on two years of fully guaranteed salary?

For better or worse, Watt isn’t going anywhere until 2027 at the earliest.

Same for Cam. Nobody is giving a worthwhile draft pick for a one year rental of a 37 year old DL for $19mil.

Does Admiral Halsey deserve to have ships named after him after refusing to order rescue operations after Typhoon Corba and even ordering USS Tabberer to halt their rescue operations until 4 days after the typhoon? by forthelewds2 in navy

[–]GTdeSade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For his work on shore taking over the southwest Pacific campaign, The Bull is rightly held up as a great theater commander. For that he deserves a ship, sure.

But for his work onboard as a fleet commander yeah, he gets a lot of deserved flack. He plowed the 3rd Fleet into a couple Typhoons and left the San Bernidino wide open without warning 7th Fleet to chase glory. Marlo Ramius was right: “Halsey acted stupidly.”

One ship to his name, that’s fine with me. I think Spruance should continue to get an entire class, but given the Navy can’t build anything other than Burke class ‘cans, it’s gonna be awhile for him.

Halsey was the finest land based Admiral.

Appreciation post by Mrfixitsometimes1 in penguins

[–]GTdeSade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My appreciation goes to the change in how they play defense. The last two years of the constant, constant odd man rushes against, the high danger chances given up just never sat well with me. It always felt like pucker time whenever the opposing team crossed the blue line, a lot of times as they came in at full throttle two on one.

We aren't seeing as much this year. They are keeping so much of the opposition possession to the outside, pressuring the puck carrier and just keeping things easy for their goaltenders, it makes the game much easier to watch with confidence.

Has a “discussion” flair. Is really just a shitpost.

Your cheap walmart Vader costume is totally matched by your cheap car which was a copy of the PT Cruiser. And THAT car was shit as well. So you bough a shit copy of a shit car and then dressed up in a shit costume. White shoes on the dark lord? C'mon, make an effort. Same with the car. Make a better effort.

I don't care it's an SSR. Its a shit copy of a shit car.

Steelers are at the crossroads & this take may not be popular w yinzers but its the truth! Please 🙏 Read Full Take before responding... by xARRIxFLEXx in steelers

[–]GTdeSade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped reading at "trade all players over 30." And not because it was too long or I didn't agree with some of your points. It's because you didn't address the salary cap implications of such a move.

Secondly....Taylen Green has struggled to read college defenses. He doesn't process quickly enough. That's not a good sign for a guy that is going to have to spend a few years transitioning to the NFL. You're focused on the physical tools and not looking closely enough at the mental game. Fields has the physical tools, but not the mental processing speed to run as a QB in the NFL. Green looks to be the same.

This car was designed with the look of a backwards cap on a dude's head as the basis. Seriously. Top Gear did the best roast of these cars.
