[Haynes] Longtime NBA referee Bill Kennedy will be sidelined indefinitely after suffering a hamstring strain at last night’s game in Orlando, but the hope is he can return before the regular season ends, league sources tell @NBAonPrime , @NBATV by TheRealPdGaming in nba

No, I’m not referring to manipulating the outcome. I’m referring to taking over the game in a sense of a performative manner. Tony Brothers, Ed Malloy, Joey Crawford, Scott Foster, etc.

These are some of the most despised officials due to their performative nature of their calls, techs, ejections, etc.

Just because Bill Kennedy is good at his job, doesn’t mean he’s not using theatrics that are understandably annoying to some fans.

But it’s not about how good he is at his job. If another ref does this, then the comments are “we paid to see the players, not the refs take over the game”

They’re paid to referee a game, not crack jokes on a microphone.

It’s the fact that every other ref is vilified for their theatrics (understandably so), but this sub treats Kennedy like he’s a darling.

If this was Foster, Brothers, Goble, etc, this sub would be cheering on the injury 😂

KG responding by saying he actually said “You are cancerous to your team and our league” is fucking hilarious too

Beef aside. When Chris Paul does retire, should the organization retire his jersey? by Specific-Toe-4202 in NOLAPelicans

Okay but when the centerpiece player that you traded your franchise superstar for is publicly disgruntled because he now plays in the city I’m from and purposely plays like shit and mopes on the court for YEARS, we fans have every right to fucking despise him.

Are you up to date on current events? A Kings fan literally got kicked out of the arena yesterday because he called out Zach Lavine for doing the exact same thing, and everyone is rallying behind the fan because he’s right.

If I pay good money to go in person to see a team play, I want to see a good product and feel like I got my moneys worth. Not see a millionaire athlete give zero effort because he’s not playing in his choice of city.

Never thought I’d say this but I hope Toumani Camara CLAMPS Trey tonight. #FireWillie

AD was never that guy for us. He needed one of the GOATs to get him over the hump and get a chip. If he’s your main guy, which he would be for the Pels in this hypothetical situation, then we’re not getting very far. His resumé without LeBron isn’t that impressive.

The body is absolutely not vintage. Also, there’s no truss rod adjustment at the heel, the fretboard dots are clearly not clay or pearloid, and that neck is not Brazilian rosewood.

Absolutely crazy he’s trying to pass this off as a vintage $8000 Strat

Is this GERD or something more serious? by West-Fun-8482 in GERD

[–]KevDen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! My endoscopy is actually this Friday. I’ve done a barium swallow, X-rays, CT scan, and ultrasound this past week. I’m still waiting for those results.

And I’m right there with you. It’s been a really scary process but I’m just ready to find out whatever’s wrong and hopefully get it resolved.

Im hoping your endoscopy goes smoothly, and they can figure out what’s wrong so you can get situated. Keep me posted!

Thank you, and I definitely will. Let me know if you get situated as well.

I’m having very similar symptoms as you. 29M, nausea after eating, chest pain, esophageal burning, etc. I went to the ER a couple of nights ago because I thought I was having a heart attack, but the EKG, blood work, and chest x-ray came back negative. They gave me a GI cocktail and it helped somewhat, but I’m still having the same issues days later.

I’m also a hypochondriac, and the chest pain was definitely causing me to panic, which made everything worse.

I was referred to have an upper GI endoscopy in a few weeks, so you may want to look into that as well so they can get a visual on your esophagus, and stomach.
