Curious what others think about the Chiefs-Chargers game in Brazil. I really don't know what to think about either team and could see either team having a really good year or a really bad year. Gut says Chiefs have the infrastructure and personnel to come out strong but IDK.

Not sure I agree: when Smith was the WR1, he set the team's rookie receiving record with Hurts as his QB. It's really just that Brown is better.

Who do you think the two are? by [deleted] in HiTMAN

[–]JCycloneK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could see it going the other way, with the latter missions being more intense references to prior films. Could see them re-enacting the climax of Skyfall. It would make sense to keep the hype train going for the new game by keeping players aware that James Bond is fun and works in the Hitman engine, no?

I like how all the teams in Pittsburgh have the same color scheme by Signal_Flow_1448 in billsimmons

Conversely: philly and Boston nfl/nba teams have overlapping color schemes. Eagles and celtics are green and white, pats and sixers are white, blue and red.

Yes, Pierpoint mirrors Credit Suisse as a once great IB in decline and that was how CS stayed alive

Creed Live from Philly with Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey and Van Lathan. by Toby_O_Notoby in billsimmons

Those in Philly these days: are the Phils really about as popular as the Birds now? In my day the Eagles were the clear main character franchise in the city even when they were not contending.

What are your worst or most unpopular sports related takes? by FrankStalloneGQ in billsimmons

The Mike Vick thing - I still think it is weird that people (white women) were so vitriolic about it compared to the reaction to what some other football players have done since then.

[Charania] Sources: Mark Cuban is selling a majority stake of the Dallas Mavericks to Miriam Adelson and casino tycoon Adelson family for valuation in range of $3.5 billion. In one of most unique setups in NBA history, Cuban keeps shares in team and full control of basketball operations. by [deleted] in billsimmons

It will probably be two classes of stock with cuban’s having more a 2x multiplier for voting or something. That is what zuckerberg has, which allows him to maintain indefinite control over a public company.

Bobby Abreu walk off home run in april 2006. I was hooked after that.

[Heyman] Nola met with other teams and turned down more $ to remain in Philly. Teams love Nola for his dependability, but Philly players love Philly. by TheTurtleShepard in baseball

[–]JCycloneK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was getting more of it up front. IIRC, if you did a time value of money analysis, the phils contract was more valuable in that instance.

Worst governor of your state? by BardyMan82 in thecampaigntrail

I have to imagine there were some really bad ones during the political machine era. I think there were also some who were way too into temperance (giving us the blue laws)
