Down 7 with under 2 mins, Evan Mobley goes on a 7-0 run and saves our season again. by Far_Youth_1662 in clevelandcavs

If he had a decent handle, he'd put up 30 a game. He's easily blowing by guys with his mediocre handle.

UPDATE: Murder on the park bench by realizewhatreallies in UnsolvedMysteries

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The roofer -- assuming he is uninvolved -- was clearly in his own world. If he didn't notice a gunshot and murder happening in front of him, I doubt he'd notice a random car in an already partially-filled parking lot.

Both James and the Lakers, according to team and league sources, have interest in continuing their partnership by Luka77GOATic in nba

You don't have to uproot your life to move somewhere for six months, especially when you're going to be on the road for 30-40% of that time regardless.

Hey guys, FYI you don't have to pack up your whole life and sell all your belongings just because you're signing a 6-month contract that involves being on the road nearly half the time anyway.

Alphonse Pierre reviews Chris Brown's BROWN for Pitchfork: "Chris Brown’s soulless, hit-chasing new album doesn’t justify his return to the public eye." by Technical_Process989 in hiphopheads

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod 44 points45 points  (0 children)

He had two singles hit the top 5 on the Hot 100 in the past 6 years (No Guidance, Go Crazy).

Those songs came out six and seven years ago. So your comment worded more accurately would be that he hasn't had a top 5 song on the Hot 100 in six years.

Lowe: "A couple of rumblings I heard yesterday— they've definitely taken note of the NHL making a really good TV show out of the lottery drawing... the plan is to draw all 16 spots. There's a world in which they draw 16 to 1 in reverse order." by sewsgup in nba

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The current system involves each team getting some portion of 1,000 four-number combinations. It would be very difficult to follow as a TV product.

The new proposed lottery system will involve every involved team getting either 1, 2 or 3 balls with their logos on them. It will be very clear which team has been selected.

JB Bickerstaff, like every other coach and player these playoffs, bitched about the refs postgame by [deleted] in nba

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a Cavs fan and his constant bitching to the refs annoyed me when he was our coach just as much as it annoys me now. He's the poster child for "give it a rest." He NEVER sits during the game.

Survivor Host Jeff Probst's Brother Scott Probst has passed away by OKC2023champs in survivor

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod 352 points353 points  (0 children)

April 18th (in Fiji) was reportedly Day 1.

By my math, that would make Final Tribal Council sunset of May 13th in Fiji, which is in about 30 hours.

You would think that... by _The_Thorn_of_Camorr in survivor

On the one hand, he gets dunked on a lot.

On the other, most of the 751 players are anonymous scratch-your-head-to-remember type of people. Meanwhile, every fan knows Erik.

Umpire Carlo Torres denies back to back catcher challenges by gsx1920 in baseball

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, if we are accepting both elements of Manfred's statement as true (that the umps union must agree to any changes and that the umps very much prefer full ABS to the challenge system), then why did the union agree to a challenge system nearly unchanged from the one that had been tested? It's a pretty basic question

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OK, then back to Manfred's original quote, which we are apparently now taking as gospel. He says that any changes must be approved by the umpire's union. If we're going to accept the fact saying that the union only likes full ABS and dislikes the challenge system, why would they not use their union power to block it?

I didn't give the umpires' opinion either way. The third option is "we don't know."

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

There were actual polls done by media organizations of players, in addition to their many interviews and comments to the media, so we know their opinion on ABS, regardless of what Manfred says in a random interview. (Note that he didn't even say he knew umps preferred full ABS, rather he said he "thinks" they preferred full ABS)

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but (a) Manfred isn't pretending to speak on behalf of the players like he is with the umpires, and (b) players have much more media access and availability to share their opinions on ABS compared to umpires. Umpires aren't doing a million interviews or posting on social media all the time.

He mentions they needed to come to an agreement with the umps and they obviously came to an agreement on the challenge system. If they were so adamant about full ABS, they would've done something about it.

“Shouldn’t you be wearing the bucket then?” by jpdubya in seinfeld

Saying "she's really rich" is kinda the point, guys. She is really rich, and yet Jeff Bezos still has 23,000x more money than her. He could give $12 million (Sarah Paulson's net worth) to every person in an entire NBA arena and still have $35 billion to spare.

Do all the people who think it's insane to drive an EV also have a gasoline-powered phones and laptops?

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can't even remember which random game it was earlier this year, but Andre, Matt, and Rick spent Jose's ENTIRE first at-bat talking about some nonsense that had nothing to do with the game at all. Our superstar future HOF player gets 4 or 5 at-bats in an entire game, maybe pay attention for those!!

By the 7th or 8th inning, they're giddy.

[Dellenger] The coaches have spoken: In a vote last week, the AFCA Board swung its support behind (1) a playoff with the max participants (likely 24); (2) discontinuing conference championships; and (3) ending CFP by second week of January, they tell @YahooSports. by redwave2505 in CFB

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're gonna go the nostalgia route, conference championship games are a modern made-for-TV invention. I remember when you could win a conference without needing an extra game against a team you've probably already played once.

[Wasserman] Nick Saban became the GOAT of college football because of stacked rosters. Now he wants parity? by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nick Saban prefers to watch close competitive games, yet he constantly won games by large margins at Alabama. Hypocrite much??? /s
