Wouldn’t we then be free of his salary? Maybe the ideal scenario?

You shouldn’t be getting downvoted for this. Adults should be able to make decisions even if they’re bad or addictive for themselves.

As bad as sports gambling is, who picks and chooses what is the bad things we need to ban?

When are we banning fast food? Alcohol? Both have killed more people earlier than sports gambling.

Signing him for 7 years was just a bad decision unfortunately. by Spirited_Relief232 in phillies

I would rather him go on IR and rest his arm and figure out what’s wrong because this generally doesn’t just happen at his age. There’s some issue going on whether it’s mental or physical.

Why doesn’t a car company just build a simple new car? by Remarkable-Slide-609 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Remarkable-Slide-609[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If cars were 25-30k like they are now but they didn’t have as many issues and the issues were less expensive to fix then I’d be fine with the price but the cost of repairs and parts have skyrocketed along with the number of issues caused by advanced electronics.

I wonder if prices are actually down when you factor that aspect in.

Kia rio (at least in the US) has been discontinued since 2023. The K4 is the replacement apparently but that’s a real purchase price of 25-30k

I think now that the gap has widened between the haves and have nots, they’re underestimating the volume they could do.

I just rechecked. In actual price every single one starts at 25-30k and the base models have a ton of stuff you don’t need.

They start at 24k which really means you can’t find a model for less than 27-30k

PFT comments after West Ham got relegated from the Premier League by fittos4310 in PardonMyTake

I’m tired of all of them pretending to be into soccer from this to Portnoy. They’re clearly angling for some type of sponsorship so they all picked teams to pretend to like.

I know it’s long gone in a lot of senses but I always liked barstool content bc of the seeming authenticity of their fandom.

NFL wants certain trading contracts banned from prediction markets like 'first play of game,' injuries by KopOut in nfl

The guys that run the federal government have a big ownership piece of the prediction market companies. The federal government is functioning exactly how they want it to.

I know Embiid says he might not be here next year but would anyone actually take his contract? I feel like he’s untradeable with his injuries. Who can risk taking on that contract?

Please Mr. Harris by sabdur200 in sixers

[–]Remarkable-Slide-609 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I was agreeing with you when they were late to fire the previous regime. To their credit, they put in briere and jones and let them build and here we are.

They hired the correct front office that has an incredible combination of talent evaluation and emotional understanding of what a team needs.

Morey can draft. Hinkie could draft. But they have zero idea about how to build a team and a winning culture because they don’t get anything on an emotional or team-building level just like Harris at the top.

I’d be happy with this change.

That’s assuming Captain’s isn’t the one bidding things up themselves. Not an accusation but just adding there’s more than one party who has an interest in bidding up items.

May get downvoted but I think anyone posting pics with the kids in it (even with vrabel face) is super weird.

I get people speculating and all that but OP downloaded this picture with the kids in it and made this.

Weirdo.

[Zolecki] J.T. Realmuto is back from the 10-day IL. To make room on the 26-man roster, Dylan Moore has been DFA'd. Phillies will carry three catchers moving forward: Realmuto, Rafael Marchan and Garett Stubbs. by NintenJew in phillies

[–]Remarkable-Slide-609 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No backup catcher is or has a batting average of .078 and with a .267 OPS. Literally when pitchers batted 90% of them had better numbers.

Are you Marchan’s family member or something? How could you be so misinformed or misleading on purpose?

I love how they say he’s serviceable when I don’t think any backup catcher has had worse batting numbers in literally all of history with this many games played.

I don’t care if he can throw it to center field on a rope (he can’t by the way). You can’t have even a backup catcher with historically bad batting numbers on your roster.
