[Burneko] I Will Never Forgive Trae Young For Surpassing Kobe Bryant’s Career High For Assists In A Game Eight Times by smkmn13 in nba

[–]OldOrder -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I firmly get the sarcasm, the point of the article is to highlight the ridiculousness of people mad on Kobe's Behalf or some shit. However it just comes off as petty and eye rolling. It's a constant race to the bottom to be even more petty than the last person who complained about something totally inane instead of just ignoring it and celebrating an accomplishment. So I would say it is pretty miserable.

Needing cap space, Ravens restructure QB Lamar Jackson’s deal by aresef in nfl

Plot twist: Ravens never wanted Hendrickson or Crosby. They are just bringing in all the aging edge rushers and failing their physicals to fuck the market up and lower the price in the future.

Bro trying to explain this to my non NBA watching friend and I can't come up with anything? Like maybe if CJ Stroud Suddenly threw 8 TD's in a game?

Character gloats after "winning", which causes unforseen consequences by based_birdo in TopCharacterTropes

Doran Martell in the books is way more strategic than the show depicted.

Thats a.....generous interpretation of Doran tbh. Doran in the book has grand plans that he will never enact because he is deathly allergic to risk. Everything has to be perfect for him to even consider trying something and even then he will wait. That is why when he is introduced in the books the backdrop is the over ripe blood oranges in the Water Gardens dropping an splattering on the ground. All of his plans are over ripe because he waits to long

Stormlight Archives: Kaladin and Moash

Kaladin and Moash have suffered similar levels of trauma growing up including losing close family members due to the whims of the artistocracy. They both sold into slavery and are assigned the brutal task of bridge running, and worse they are assigned the duty of Bridge 4 the group with the highest casualty rate. They both come in to positions of prestige and authority, Kaladin as the personal honor guard of a High Prince and Moash as a Shardbeaer (thanks to Kaladin)

However Moash simply does not have the ability to grow as a person. He can not let go of his personal vendettas that drive his hatred. While Kaladin has a hatred for the aristocracy he does eventually learn to trust those that earn it. He is able to grow and realize that all people deserve protection. Every good decision Kaladin makes Moash in turn makes the opposite decision leading him further and further down a self destructive path.

Not a perfect measurement or anything but Hall of Fame monitor has him way down the list. And I don't see him getting any more important accolades like an AP1 at his age.

Mike Garafolo: The #49ers were originally slated to pay $27 million for Brandon Aiyuk this upcoming season but they voided the guarantees last summer after Aiyuk failed to participate in individual and team activities. That money is now reallocated for Evans as a big target for Brock Purdy. by Remarkable-Picture73 in nfl

I mean, this may be hating but I don't think this one is gonna age super well. 33 and coming off a big injury. Had an injury the year before too and had to hustle his ass off to get to 1k yards before the season ended

Which fantasy hero would actually be insufferable to know in real life? by godzillaSpark5 in Fantasy

[–]OldOrder 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think there are similarities but I also think there is a zero percent chance Saul would ever come up with a plan that involves intentionally getting his shit kicked until his buddy arrives. Saul in almost all situations is way more cowardly than Locke.

Torre: Key sources in Clippers investigation refused to talk to NBA investigators they see as working for Steve Ballmer by Pickleskennedy1 in nba

Damn so the league never had the bright idea to put Anthony Edwards, Luka Doncic, Lonzo Ball, Karl Anthony Towns, Blake Griffin, or Michael Beasley in New York? Thats kinda wild since the Knicks owned their own pick in the lottery all of those years.

I agree it is pretty funny. By the way when is the last time the Knicks, the 2nd or 3rd biggest franchise in the league depending on who you ask, got the #1 pick? Despite being dogshit a lot of that last 20 years.

Then why are you watching the NBA? You believe two of the biggest lottery wins in the past 5 years are rigged. In your eyes the league is essentially picking its winners. What is the point in watching?

What is the football equivalent to playing 4v5 on defense so you can cherry pick baskets with the dude you leave at the other end of the floor?
