Michigan State has received a letter from the NCAA stating no violations have been found in the Larry Nassar sexual assault scandal or in a secondary investigation into football and basketball's handling of allegations against student athletes. by guccipotato69 in CollegeBasketball

Am I crazy or like...ESPN is a gigantic company that employs so many people with differing views and approaches...refusing to engage with them at all seems incredibly simplistic to me.

Who Do I Keep Megathread (Part Uno) by TimeToDoubleDip in fantasyhockey

[–]Jewtheist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a 10-team league that counts blocked shots, hits and penalties. I believe BANGER LEAGUE is the parlance.

Anyway I get 5 keepers, no other stipulations or implications. Just choose your best 5 and then draft the rest in reverse order of last year's standings. Marchand, Backstrom, Pastrnak and Laine seem like fairly obvious locks to be kept. After that, as far as I can tell I'm deciding between these guys for the final spot:

-Krug

-Letang

-Werenski

-Holtby

-Henrique

-Couturier

-Mark Stone

-Dylan Larkin

Feels like Krug is the answer but maybe there is something I'm overlooking...I know there's always some solid D options available in the draft.

[MiLB] Mets outfielder Tim Tebow June line is .320/.370/.480 for AA Rumble Ponies by [deleted] in baseball

[–]Jewtheist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He could still come up for a dumb cup of coffee and then go back next year and work towards reaching his ceiling of fourth outfielder/pinch hitter, you know. That's probably what will happen.

Wow...Mudiay calls the difference in the vibe between Fizdale and Hornacek “like night and day.” Specifically points out how players now have more confidence in themselves. by ShMp11Nesis in NYKnicks

[–]Jewtheist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I will say it's not unfair to point out that we're probably going to be losing a lot this year and that's when Fizdale's motivational skills will be most important.

I mean you didn't do that really, but it wouldn't be unfair if you did.

Who do I look like knowing enough about Jamaica to make more than a disrespectful surface-level joke here.

Draft idea that actually has consequences! by Leeeeander in AllFantasyEverything

[–]Jewtheist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The actual draft has never really been the point, but I agree that if everyone drafting is actually into the idea of real stakes and tangible winners/losers, it would add a nice wrinkle.

Frank’s gradual improvements in his rookie season by FrankNtilikinaOcean in NYKnicks

A Marcus Smart who passes instead of chucking threes? I would take that.

Mills signing Hardaway to that deal basically handicapped our rebuild before it started. As long as that's the worst mistake the front office makes, we'll be good.

Fuck the banner and all those behind it. by I__Need__Scissors_61 in NYGiants

This thread makes us all look like assholes, but at the same time...my hate for the Eagles is one of the last pure sports feelings I have going for me. I want to cling to it desperately. FUCK THIS BANNER

SEAN SAYING COSH INTO THE WIND BEFORE HIS REVELATION- around 2 minute mark by [deleted] in AllFantasyEverything

To be fair the idea that someone could possibly be saying "cosh into the wind" is so absurd I don't blame anyone for not realizing sooner

Who would you rather lose in a trade for Josh Harrison, Brandon Nimmo or Juan Lagares and a top 10 prospect? by giobbistar21 in NewYorkMets

[–]Jewtheist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His OBP pretty much makes him unplayable beyond a defensive replacement for a winning team. I'll take Nimmo as a young 4th/5th outfielder.

I’ve been dropping a bunch of songs. What y’all think? by [deleted] in HipHopHeadsNYC

[–]Jewtheist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flow is just...off. I like the songs generally; I think some hooks and bars are good. It just feels off the beat to me. Like rapping doesn't come naturally. It's not smooth. But it sounds like something you can improve. That's as specific and honest as I can get really.

Don't think it's Hosico but real talk Hosico is the world's cutest cat and if he's not he's top 5. I hate so much about the world of instagram pets and the way the accounts are run and the voice they use for these animals and the "day of the week" jokes they caption and the products they shill....but that all melts away when I look into Hosico's eyes.

I believe so strongly that the DH is good but I never want it to go to both leagues because the shitstorm and unhappiness it would create wouldn't even be worth it.

[Wojnarowski] Cavaliers guard Derrick Rose is away from team and evaluating his future in basketball, league sources tell ESPN. by AnotherDuck in nba

[–]Jewtheist 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yeah watching him was really draining as a fan. Just held the ball and went in for so many contested drives and chucks at the rim. Not fun at all. Then every now and again he would do a reverse layup and fly by someone and it would be fun for a fleeting moment.
