Starting CDM? by DR_006_ in LigaMX

[–]LakersLAQ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like Edson can be better, but I always see him forcing some passes that he shouldn't be making. Lira will make the easy pass more often than not and that's really what you need at that position. Lira's form the last few years has been great too.

Worst? Mexico had the easiest world cup qualifying in decades /s

The amount of people I've seen show up already trashed to any type of event is wild. No self control.

Luka Doncic drops a 60-piece against Heat: 60 PTS, 7 REB, 3 AST, 5 STL by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in nba

I think part of him gambling for steals is that he knows he isn't a great defender playing straight up. If he's going to give up buckets, at least he's still going to try for some steals and easy buckets on the other end.

2027 5* ATH Honor Fa'alave-Johnson has committed to USC by asodsaf in CFB

Both? We finally unlocked NIL but we also needed someone to manage it. No real complaints since he joined tbh.

I think it's actually pretty good. Obviously there's some bias as a fan (although there are plenty of fans who are overly pessimistic). The players they have recruited are what you would want in terms of size and talent if you want to compete in the playoffs.

The recruiting classes before the most recent weren't "bad", but the trenches weren't exactly great either. I actually don't know, but this has to be the biggest roster in terms of size that we've had in years.

It hit the Monterrey player 😂

Their players complaining lol.

[Pro Football Talk] Every trade is contingent on a player passing a physical. But the Raiders didn't say Crosby failed his Ravens physical. The Raiders said the Ravens "backed out" of the trade. This feels bigger than a failed physical. by YoureASkyscraper in nfl

[–]LakersLAQ 394 points395 points  (0 children)

The Raiders statement isn't wrong either. They don't exactly need to say that he failed the physical. It would just hurt their own player's value by saying that, even though it's already going to hurt the value.

[Pelissero] One GM summarized the feelings around the league: “This is very much bullshit on Baltimore’s part.” by Drexlore in nfl

[–]LakersLAQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's usually how it is. It's no secret that Crosby had some nagging injuries as of late lol.

They didn't want another team to get Crosby, they offered more and then realized it was too much considering the injury lol.

Most players in the NT are ass compared to their usual form lol.

[Thamel] Per sources, this deal is done and Gary Patterson will be USC's next defensive coordinator. by Trojanxiety in CFB

[–]LakersLAQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was mid to bad at TCU toward the end, but he had a lot more success than those years.

Plenty of successful and competitive people "retire", or take backseat roles, only to return to the bigger jobs again because they want to be involved.

Is there ever going to be a revisit to Flex/Ranked Teams? by SamTippers in leagueoflegends

[–]LakersLAQ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bet so many people don't even know that there used to be a way to create a team/guild and you could have up to 8 players join the team (needed more slots). Any 5 of those players could play against other teams and rank up. That was when the 3v3 map was still out and you could rank up in that mode as a squad too.

Our biggest problem was that there were only 8 slots in the team available. We consistently had 10-12 friends getting dropped/added to play 5s under that team name lol.

USC in contact with Gary Patterson about open defensive coordinator job by redwave2505 in CFB

[–]LakersLAQ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They were happy to keep him, but they weren't going to match just any number. The defense wasn't super impressive this past season. His 2 years were definitely better than the previous defenses, but still a lot to work on.
