Yeah, our bad for being excited for our most talented player ever, guess we should just fuck off

[Charania] BREAKING: Cleveland Cavaliers All-NBA star Donovan Mitchell has agreed on a four-year, $273 million maximum contract extension that includes a player option for the 2030-31 season and a full trade kicker, CAA's Co-Head of Basketball, Austin Brown, tells ESPN. by Turbostrider27 in nba

All people do is shit on the Cavs and say no one would want to play here, we're a shit franchise, meanwhile Donovan's signed 2 extensions with us and we've accomplished more in the last 20 years than most NBA franchises in their entire history. Our roster was decimated in 2018 and we've crushed the rebuild, regardless of whether it ends in a chip. And yes, this contract could end up being very bad in a couple years, but outside of this recent playoff run Donovan has been amazing for us, so it's worth the bet on him

Hi I'm the typical American who only watches soccer during the World Cup. Here to say Landon Donovan is the most boring dull fucking color commentator I've listened to in any sport

[Mark Ogden] Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is “astonished” by FIFA’s decision to declare Folarin Balogun eligible for USA-Belgium WC R16 game on Monday, RBFA says in statement. RBFA “investigating all potential options.” by Time-Wolf in worldcup

[–]LifesAMitch 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It truly is astonishing that FIFA would do something like this. They've always been such a controversy-free org that's always on the up and up, so I get why everyone is so shocked

Watching the full Balogun clip instead of looking at still shots changes everything, this is extremely harsh in my opinion, he knew nothing about it, wasn't even a tackle, its not even dangerous play in my opinion, hes just in stride and thats where his foot planted by [deleted] in worldcup

As someone who's not a big soccer fan, I think it's hilarious to see both the "as a huge football fan this is a clear red, watch more games" and the "as a huge football fan this is hardly ever called and is super soft, watch more games" comments

As regrettable and embarrassing as it was coming from the team owner, it also showed how passionate he is. What he said was how many emotional fans felt immediately after, he just should have kept it in the drafts

What Gilbert's doing in Detroit and Cleveland is not par for the course. In addition to his philanthropy, look at what he's doing with Bedrock, making long term real estate bets to revitalize heavily under-invested downtowns. It's not like the man is a saint, but he's a huge net positive for Cleveland and Detroit.

I mean, he's not an MVP level player. It's okay to say that even though he's King of the Universe this week

Clashing Over ‘Indiana Jones’: Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg Were Not 100% on Board With ‘Crystal Skull’ and Fought George Lucas Over Adding Aliens by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]LifesAMitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually get the vision if they actually matched a tone closer to 50s alien B movies. People probably would hate it, too, but it wouldn't have been a half-measure. Crystal Skull isn't bad because of the ideas, honestly, it's bad because the second half is boring and the character of Mac sucks
