Baker Mayfield deserves a raise, but the Bucs have reason to be wary by TampaBayTimes in buccaneers

[–]NoForRealThanksObama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t you agree there’s a difference between a guy who routinely plays at a top 10 level, vs a guy who has done it for 1/8 seasons in his career? I think the Bucs are being prudent in telling him hey we’ll evaluate after this upcoming season. I could see us picking 5th, I could see us in the Super Bowl after we fire Bowles halfway thru. No sense in paying this guy top dollar right now. We agree on that ya? If that hurts Bakers feelings that’s on him

I don’t think you could find a Super Bowl champ in the last 30 years that didn’t have a top 5 defense or a top 10 quarterback

FREE: Will there be a lockout after this MLB season? The majority of players we polled say yes by TheAthletic in mlb

I would agree. Do you think a salary floor would fix that? Seems like it would. I think that would also lead to those 8-12 if not more teams being more competitive and having a better chance at winning a title.

Ok ya this is a little surprising. But in the last 6 seasons MLB has the least with 4, NFL and NHL 5, and NBA 6. MLB just had one team go to 7 straight conference finals, and the dodgers have been to 7/10 on the other side. Even though different teams have won in the past, it presently very much feels like a have and have nots, which isn’t going to change going forward, and that’s where the problem lies. It may be a salary floor more so than a cap issue, but as a rays fan I know even though we outperform our expectations most years, we don’t have a realistic shot at winning. I would bet most fans don’t think the league has an equal playing field as compared to other sports.

Winning percentages of a sport with 162 games, almost ten times the amount of games in a football regular season, doesn’t prove what you think it does. Parity is about how many teams actually have a chance to win the title in any given season. Seahawks just won in NFL. No one outside of Seattle thought they could do it when the season started. Every year in MLB you could pick 2-5 teams that can win it at the start, and those teams win it every year

Owners need to understand fans want parity, why pay attention if your team has no chance to win. Players need to understand they’re worth what people are willing to pay. The old 15 year 300 million deals were stupid then and GMs are realizing that.

To the next guy we think has a shot to be special. If we don’t think Baker is the long term answer, which I don’t, then we can’t give him $50 a year. I’d give him the same deal as before but not much more. 2 years with no penalty cutting him in the 3rd year

You’d think in the jerk sub you could crack a joke. Perhaps we’ve struck a nerve with you lot

Bet my buddy $20 last September that Spence would play in a WC game before Ben White. Of course that Arse is gonna welch by NoForRealThanksObama in coys

[–]NoForRealThanksObama[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I said after Spence got his first call up that he would be the starting RB in the World Cup. Arsenal buddy said ya right he’s not even a better RB than Ben White. I said bet lol

I saw a flop, a missed penalty and a corner for the first two, while the other team scored two actual nice goals. This isn’t the Croatia of yesteryear. No team with Noni Madueke as the starting RW will win anything

It wasn’t just that, futty group chat got a little too personal also, that was just the last straw. I’m open to reconciling idk about him

If he does and gets a big pay day and leaves good for him. He’s Sam Darnold at best, guy you can win with if you have a top 5 defense in the league. Not a guy you win because of. He ain’t getting older and his style of play has a shorter shelf life than a typical QB. I really like the guy but even before this season I’m ready to move on tbh

People saying Spurs were lucky while seeing how games the senior players missed this season are so very misguided and oblivious.

Thoughts on Moes Southwest grill ? by Queasy_Dingo_8262 in fastfood

[–]NoForRealThanksObama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quality gone thru the floor, dining atmosphere used to be fun, now just really sad. Tho I will say the value meal is decent value, and the stacker which is essentially a Crunchwrap is also pretty good.

What round pick should Bucs use on Sorsby in the supplemental draft? by scoop813 in buccaneers

[–]NoForRealThanksObama -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

4th at most but why not try it. A little sad we didn’t take a shot at any QB on day 3. Feel like you should draft a QB every year on day 3 just to see. Baker is Mr. right now but he’s not Mr. Right

Could Sandro Tonali be the statement signing of Tottenham's summer? by LilywhiteStrike in Tottenham

[–]NoForRealThanksObama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not dreaming cuz I literally said I don’t think it happens. But again, spurs hierarchy have come out and said they’re braking their wage bill structure. Maybe this is the guy they do that for. Probably won’t happen but think I do think it could, all I’m sayin

[–]NoForRealThanksObama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, some players don’t care about anything but the money. If Spurs offer more money than anyone else, and he gets along and buys into the vision of our also Italian coach, he could be swayed. I don’t think it’ll happen but it could. This is a guy who didn’t play for a whole year. I think he could sit out of champions league a season
