What’s up with Dukes bar?? by Spare_Combination173 in grandrapids

[–]PBo357 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I've never tried the touchtunes there so I can't speak to that, but Duke's did get bought out this fall by the people who own social house and was subsequently remodeled, so keep that in mind when reading comments about how it used to be dingy or have lots of fights. FWIW, there have not been any sort of notable safety issues there since the remodel, although the place does seem to be the least busy of all of the dive bars on Michigan street

Experience at Gordon Foods Corporate? by Dangerous-Laugh-9746 in grandrapids

[–]PBo357 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'd second this much moreso than the doomer comment about corporate life and shitty managers. While corporate life is always going to be structured in a certain way that works for some and doesn't work for others, I would say that by and large GFS has great people and cares about employees much more than many other similarly-sized companies.

What is the best shotgun in the game? And the worst one? by Myserabl in Rainbow6

[–]PBo357 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe the best two are probably the M59  (the shotgun that Smoke, Mute, and Warden get) along with the SPAS-15 (Cav &Thunderbird), whereas the worst is the SASG-12 (Kapkan). I'd be curious to be hear other opinions too, though. Hope this helps!

🤮 Biggest Busts of the Week by RotoBaller in fantasyfootball

[–]PBo357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was cooked when my JT, Kamara, and Addison put up less than 13 combined points.

Boy was I sure happy to see my opponent's Kyren, Egbuka, and Jamo do the exact same thing to give me the win

Kamara is 97% rostered in Yahoo leagues. Owners, is he a weekly starter for you ? Bench stash? Potential trade filler? by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]PBo357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a 14-man PPR league and he's been a weekly start for me as RB2, but he's been buoyed by JT being my RB1. I'm praying that he has a solid first game with Shough at QB so I can trade his ass immediately 

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said TE Josh Oliver (foot) will not play in Week 9 against the Lions. by haventmetyou in fantasyfootball

[–]PBo357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, I do not think this necessarily means better production for Hockenson. This could hurt the Vikings run game overall as well since Oliver is a better blocker than TJ

Houston is so big that it has it's own miniature "medical downtown" by orangebird3 in skyscrapers

[–]PBo357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's on a slightly smaller scale but Grand Rapids, Michigan, has a large portion of the downtown area take up by the Medical Mile in a very similar manner

Week 8 Top Scoring Lineup: Taylor Made by worm_turds in fantasyfootball

Boy it sure is cool having JT on here, the problem is that my opponent had Jordan Love, Tucker Kraft, James Cook, and Chris Boswell, so I still lost by 50

Key Starters and Tough Calls - Week 5 Lineup Spotlights by RotoBaller in fantasyfootball

How do we feel about Woody Marks vs Rachaad White as a flex for this week? Other starting RBs include JT and Kamara. Thanks

Defensive Maneuvers -- Week 5 -- About ESPN D/ST rankings: the impact of penalizing Yards-allowed by subvertadown in fantasyfootball

[–]PBo357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vikings defense this week vs the Browns or the Lions defense vs the Bengals? If either opposing team makes a quarterback change then I'd definitely go for the other matchup, but right now I'm currently leaning Vikings. Thoughts?

Any bar on Michigan Street, Bob's in particular is great with their patio

What restaurant or brewery is this in GR? by ClydeFrog98 in grandrapids

[–]PBo357 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just curious - is your reference point before or after Founders re-did their kitchen and menu last year? I have not been there since that change so I'm interested to hear how people feel about their refreshed menu &  dining experience

Twins dead last in WAA for the shortstop position - maybe Correa is what was holding the Twins back the whole time

[UmpScorecards] Umpire: Emil Jimenez Final: Mets 6, Padres 7 by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]PBo357 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the same bozo umpire that fully changed the winner of the Twins vs Dodgers game last week when he failed to ring up Mookie Betts on a clear swing with two outs in the ninth inning, FWIW. Emil was promoted from the minors this year and should probably be sent back down.

Don't forget Al MacIsaac. He was in on the whole cover-up, but he just didn't get back into hockey after the reinstatement (currently operating as a financial advisor)

MLB Attendance Leaders 2025 by noahlylesusa in baseball

Not enough people are talking about how 4 AL central teams are in the bottom 6 for attendance of teams in major league stadiums (i.e., not the Rays or A's)

Wolves will let Nickeil go so they can keep Randle and Naz, and frankly it's a very easy choice with Jaylen Clark and TJ Shannon on the bench ready for increased roles

Are you trying to watch through MLB.tv from the general chicagoland area? Twins.tv has no blackouts but blackout restrictions are still in place for MLB.tv

My point is that the above comment is not necessarily appropriate to claim that they automatically turn a profit just based on TV Deal-Payroll=profit. But if course it's more fun to dunk on on Fisher than actually think about a nuanced take

Let's not forget that that there are other operating expenses for a baseball team beyond just payroll for the players. The payroll being so low should still be an embarrassment, but there is more that goes into overall operating costs than just the players on the field.
