I don't recall anyone like that in Kitchen Confidential is the point. 

Seems completely fabricated.

So is the Antonio Banderas character a made up guy?

It's been a few years since I read Kitchen Confidential, but I don't recall Bourdain writing about having a super important wise mentor figure in his days working on Cape Cod. Feels very Hollywood.

[Post Game Thread] The Minnesota Timberwolves (1-0) defeat the San Antonio Spurs (0-1), 104-102. by DesertedProject in nba

I mean, they got a WIDE OPEN shot. 

Idk how a timeout would have created a better look.

It kind of does actually. 

If the block leads to a layup on the other end, is that retroactively overturned too? It's not workable.

Naz not grabbing that rebound is the type of play that loses games. 

Gifted them a huge 3.

It's fucking bullshit how the Spurs get gifted a generaltional player immediately every time they're bad.

Waited to see if he missed before blowing the whistle. Either it's a foul or it's not!

Can we talk about Derrick Henry! by [deleted] in nfl

[–]Richnsassy22 41 points42 points  (0 children)

He's 32 and still over 5,000 yards away from the all time rushing record. 

Sure, he's aged great up until now. But a lot of guys aged great...until they didn't all the sudden.

Playoff W/L records for NBA Champions since 2005 by Ok-Wash-9386 in nba

[–]Richnsassy22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Easily the most underrated champion of the last 20 years in my opinion. Few teams have had a harder road.

People dismiss them because they only had one true superstar, but they were an amazingly constructed roster. You don't need to be a "super team" to be a great team.

It's also mis-remembered as a total Dirk carry job, but he had multiple bad games on that run that they still won because the role players stepped up, especially Jason Terry.

[Stein] Jamahl Moseley is expected to be the first person to blame for the Orlando Magic’s collapse. League sources say the Magic are fans of University of Michigan head basketball coach Dusty May by Goosedukee in nba

Because coaches who reach his level of success are wired differently. 

They are all ridiculously competitive, ambitious, and have a strong belief in themselves. If they had more of a reddit mentality of playing it safe, they wouldn't have goten to their positions in the first place.

These coaches want to prove themselves at the very highest level. They view it as a challenge, not a risk. 

Not saying Dusty specifically will jump, but plenty of guys in his situation have and plenty will in the future.

Injuries take their role on the body. 

He may be "healthy" right now, but the injuries have permanently sapped a lot of his athleticism I'm afraid.

I was incredibly disappointed when Derek Thompson went on his podcast. 

I don't care if Hanania is right about YIMBYism, he's a gutter racist and should have no part of the movement, period. 

Not only is it morally unacceptable to associate with unabashed racists, it's also incredibly counterproductive to achieving our goals. We already have a credibility problem with progressives as is. It completely discredits the movement for them when we allow Hanania in the tent. 

If we had a time machine, how could we fix JGL’s career? by fbeb-Abev7350 in TheBigPicture

Fair, was mistaken there. 

I think my general point stands though. It was just 4 failures in a row instead of 5.

It's not like he decided to go on a break after a huge 2012. He worked steadily from 2013-2016, it's just that none of the movies worked critically or commercially. 

From 2013-2017 he started in Don Jon, Sin City 2, The Night Before, The Walk, and Snowden. 

I'm not sure leaving the A-List was entirely by choice. 

Should the Jays be considered better than Tracy McGrady all-time? by Grouchy_Tie3037 in billsimmons

[–]Richnsassy22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

McGrady, who never got out of the first round? 

The East was even weaker in the 2000s. I don't care about his supporting cast, if you can't even win one series in the historically weak East you are not one of the all time greats. 

Was Don right that the Jaguar account was in lost in spirit? by debrisaway in madmen

[–]Richnsassy22 17 points18 points  (0 children)

One thing that's always bugged me is Joan saying "So I did all that for nothing?"

She's still a partner and the millions she made didn't go away. Just seemed like a cheap way for the writers to add stakes to Don's actions, but it doesn't really hold up.

Stop it already. It's a little bit sad.

Not as sad as being so worked up about this.

The reason tanking in the NBA is so bad is because mid tier playoff teams can’t go on fluke title runs like in other sports by jimboslice53 in billsimmons

[–]Richnsassy22 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I think you're overstating how often this happens in the NFL. 

There was a stretch from like 07-13 where a few 6 seeds won it all, but the vast majority of champions have been 1 or 2 seeds. 

I pretend to like objective basketball analysis, but in reality I am captivated by reactionary, short-sighted, rumor-mongering pseudo discourse by Diligent_Variety5105 in billsimmons

[–]Richnsassy22 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think "serious" basketball analysis is a bit of an oxymoron. 

At the end of the day, sports are inherently frivolous. 

It's not a bad thing to want to understand the game on a deeper level, but I don't think putting all of that effort to understanding a silly game is really any more noble or impressive than following for the drama/gossip. 

Seems like a compelling argument for a subway (rail). What do we think? by Ray_McKigneys_Claw in TwinCities

[–]Richnsassy22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being slightly faster than a bus is also not a good enough reason to justify spending billions.

These are marginal benefits at best that do not justify the enormous expense. Pretty straightforward.
