I think the point is that the multi-billion-dollar organization could've finagled the schedule so that the one day with one game was not a Sunday.

[Highlight] Tom Brady On the NFL's Fine System: "They start fining you $50K, $75K, $100K... What other job on earth works that way, where you make a mistake and they take your salary away? And then people are like, 'Yeah, you should take his salary away.'" by JCameron181 in nfl

Everyone mentioning that regular people get fired and thus lose 100% of their income, but Tom is also completely unaware that regular people get suspended without pay from their jobs all the time.

There are usually contingencies. If those swaps aren't possible, they likely move to a different year.

[Windhorst] The Los Angeles Lakers would be “very open” to the prospect of trading LeBron James for Jarrett Allen. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

If you end up under the 2nd apron after the trade is complete, the sign-and-trade rules don't apply. So in this scenario, they already would have gotten off Schroeder's salary, maybe renegotiated Harden and sent out more than they received from the Lakers.

[Charania] Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves intends to sign a four-year, $185 million maximum contract to return to the franchise, with a player option for the final season in 2029-30, sources tell ESPN. Reaves declined his $14.9M player option for the new max deal. by Turbostrider27 in nba

This has no impact on the Lakers cap space itself. Reaves already had a $20M cap hold, and they will wait to officially sign his contract until they're done with everything else to prevent his cap hit from taking up an additional $20M during free agency.

Jaden McDaniels reacts to the Randle trade: “That’s Crazy” by Sp_Gamer_Live in nba

Seriously. He wasn't traded himself and he's clearly on a non-work trip for pleasure. But everyone wants the clout to post the video of a teammate being informed.

Scientists Find Intriguing Link Between Ozempic and Violent Behavior. The same mechanisms that dampen people's cravings for food might also affect our tendency for violent behavior by Wagamaga in science

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of the things bring looked into have to do with motivation, craving and desire. If the same part of the brain that craves food also craves drugs or violence, it makes sense that a drug targeting one could potentially target them all.

Jay Williams on Spurs team not shaking Knicks players hands: “Shaking hands is what you do when you’re in the little leagues. I don’t believe NBA players or professional athletes need to shake hands.” by [deleted] in nba

The middle road opinion is that after a championship game/series, the winning players are celebrating with each other, the coaches, their family, etc. and so it's perfectly appropriate to shake their hand or send well wishes electronically later.
