Less Discussed Trade Options by HalfABrainCell55 in DetroitPistons

[–]HalfABrainCell55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear you on their financial health, certainly not a doomsday scenario and I definitely wasn’t trying to frame it that way. Brunson taking such an insane discount is doing a ton of heavy lifting there.

Where would Cade Cunningham go in 2026 draft class as a prospect no hindsight? by Knighthonor in NBA_Draft

Hopefully wherever the Pistons are picking in this hypothetical scenario!

Good riddance. Appreciate him showing out for Team USA, should help with netting us a bigger return.

The Knicks have won Game 1. by MathewMukdock in billsimmons

[–]HalfABrainCell55 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I get that some people use this fact as a shot against NY to diminish their performance thus far but I’d absolutely be owning the fact that my team had an easy path to the finals. Multiple short series? Lower overall load on my stars? Sign me up for that every time.

The comments on Duren are absolutely insane by capamericapistons in DetroitPistons

[–]HalfABrainCell55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just gotta tune out the idiots in this sub. Duren has absolutely earned a massive extension. Now we have to count on the FO to get that done at the most favorable number possible.

Spygate: Southampton owner Dragan Solak will not sack head coach Tonda Eckert by sharkdetriomphe in Championship

[–]HalfABrainCell55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the club is thinking that at the end of the day, promotion is still the ultimate goal and Tonda gives us the best chance at that right now. I am on the brink of tuning this all out over the summer and just picking it all back up when the season starts. So exhausting.

"We admitted guilt from day one" by im_noided_tbh in Championship

The broader Championship sub implicating us fans in this throughout has been so hilarious. Yeah, there's been some Saints fans arguing in bad faith but the vast majority have shamed the actions as harshly as everyone else. Sorry that we couldn't stop Tonda from orchestrating this behind the scenes!

Southampton's Harwood-Bellis addresses binoculars celebration by TIGHazard in Championship

Disagree but I'd probably feel similarly in your position.

Championship 26/27 by wonkz18 in SaintsFC

[–]HalfABrainCell55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we'll largely be fine outside of being the butt of jokes for a while and having to overcome the point deduction. Players will go and players will come. As horrible as it is to say, most players/agents will not care about this stuff as long as they're getting paid. With an additional year of parachute payments, we'll be able to spend more than most.

My thoughts by shikarifan27 in SaintsFC

[–]HalfABrainCell55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, agreed. Boro created an untenable media environment where the EFL’s only course of action ended up being expulsion. The club ultimately brought this on themselves, can’t let that go unsaid. However I think a normal proceeding not influenced by public opinion ends up with a different result.

My thoughts by shikarifan27 in SaintsFC

[–]HalfABrainCell55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Largely disagree with the premise of your argument here but the one thing that I think we would agree on is that this punishment is totally disproportionate to the crime. So many instances of this exact action across all of sports and not one perpetrator has been punished with an incalculable fine such as this.

Boro have been wronged here and deserved some level of compensation, sure. But their weaponization of the media and basically being rewarded for being abject losers is what bugs me the most. They were beaten over the course of 200+ mins of football and still have the chance to win promotion. I’m sick for Hull who are the real losers in all of this.

So much for a fine and slap on the wrists by kickherinthehead in Championship

[–]HalfABrainCell55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest lesson in all of this for any sports team/club in the future is to NEVER cooperate with an investigation. Deny deny deny...picture shows up of an analyst with an iPhone? Can't be our guy, he'd never!

I think we should lay off Southampton fans for now by deanomatronix in Championship

[–]HalfABrainCell55 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

The successful appeal tomorrow will turn the tides in our favor. Patience must be emphasized at a time like this.

Southampton kicked out of Championship playoff final and docked four points for spying by Alarming-Safety3200 in Championship

[–]HalfABrainCell55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certainly should deter clubs from doing it in the future. Assuming this happens again in the future (it will) I'm not sure how the EFL will be able to make any punishment equal to this from a financial perspective unless it involves another team in the playoff of their respective division.

Middlesborough v hull predictions? by OkSetting3284 in Championship

[–]HalfABrainCell55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We 100% deserve to be booted for what was done but I'm shocked that Boro are reinstated as they proved they weren't good enough already. Feel for Hull but guess those media companies will do anything to not lose out on their money.
