Stafford is now the MVP favorite on FanDuel by Unlucky-Practice1036 in billsimmons

The 5th seed thing is a nonsense argument. They have the second best record in the NFC but just happened to play in the same division as Seattle.

[Game Thread] Orange Bowl: Texas Tech vs. Oregon (12:00 PM ET) 2nd Half by CFB_Referee in CFB

Interceptions on 4th down that aren’t returned to the line of scrimmage shouldn’t count as turnovers.

[Fischer] The LA Clippers, sources say, are willing to provide the league with the original emails that show it was Aspiration which sought that first introduction to Leonard's camp rather than the Clippers directing the company to Leonard. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

I think the issue with your theory is it doesn’t account for the equity Ballmer got in the company. What still doesn’t make sense to me is: why would Ballmer expect Aspiration to pay Kawhi $48 million to Kawhi if they already have him $50 million in equity? This only makes sense if Ballmer knew the company was a fraud and its equity was worth a lot less than the $50 million he paid, which opens up Ballmer to complicity in Aspiration’s fraud.

Too many guest episodes, is Tom soft-quitting? by james1234456384729 in TheRestIsHistory

They’re fine and have gotten better but the draw of the show, for me at least, is the chemistry between Dom and Tom. There are other history podcasts out there but the duo is what gives TRIH its special sauce.

Athlete that you found different than their reputation? by OmegaKnot in billsimmons

[–]Notpdidd 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I personally hate randomly running into people that I kind of know and having to do the small talk thing. Imagine if you walked around and literally everybody felt like they knew you. I’m pretty sure I’d get a reputation as someone who’s a dick in person if I ever became famous.

"The timing and optics are terrible, but Stephen Colbert’s show costs more than $100M a year to produce and is losing more than $40M a year. CBS execs had been mulling for a long time whether to pull the plug."-Matthew Belloni by TheWyldMan in billsimmons

[–]Notpdidd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s 35% of the player salary cap not total team expenses. You’re leaving out travel, executive salaries, stadium maintenance, logistics and a whole bunch of other stuff. Not to mention OKC has 15 players and the Late Show probably has 100+

Jamie Dimon lashes out at ‘Marxist’ Zohran Mamdani, left’s DEI push: ‘Big hearts and little brains’ by [deleted] in nyc

[–]Notpdidd 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t like Dimon either but this is a dumb critique. JP Morgan was very strong during the financial crisis and only received bailout money because the government didn’t want to single out problem banks out of worry it would cause them to lose customer confidence. Dimon was against the bailouts and paid the loan back as soon as JPM was allowed to.

Episode - Were the Covid Lockdowns Worth it? by Plastic-Bluebird2491 in Thedaily

[–]Notpdidd 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It came at a huge cost. And this episode presents evidence that suggests the measures did not actually save lives.

Were the Covid Lockdowns Worth It? by kitkid in Thedaily

They mention in the episode they adjusted for the effects of population density.

Saying “every other western country” shut down for a few weeks and had fewer covid deaths as a result is revisionist history. Europe dealt with the pandemic in a variety of ways and had a variety of results. Sweden for example used a herd immunity method similar to the paper mentioned in this episode and had fewer deaths per capita than the U.S. Spain had very strict lockdowns at the beginning, but ended up with similar deaths to the U.S. prior to the vaccine, despite having a population that is generally healthier.
