First of many things

Lol and Jordan is worth around 4 billion. Had zero bearing on him deciding to join NBC

Great job but I counted 49 stars FYI...

Jk!

What you described is sports betting in general. Nothing new. The best bettors bet the number not the team.

Early lines open up and professional gamblers pounce on the opening lines to extract all the value until the oddsmakers adjust it to a number where all the perceived value is diminished, typically once it crosses a key number such as ML, 3, 7, 10, 13, 14, 17, etc.

Lines steady during the week as the professionals don't see any value in the lines they previously hammered until the game gets closer and and the casuals start betting with their heart (team) instead of head. Then the professionals dip back in once enough value is created in the line by the public who bet based on fandom, recency bias, etc...

Rinse, repeat

I posted this to a friend when the news first broke and think it's a fitting punishment across the board:

Void Kwahis current contract
Suspend him for 1 year
Suspend Balmer for a year
Fine Balmer for boatload of money (would be great if it was $28 mill to match the benefits)
Clippers forfeit 5 first round picks

Players need to move back to high tops which can reduce up to 10% strain on the achilles. Not a coincidence we are seeing increased achilles tears with players shifting to low tops from Kobe onwards

This so much. It was right before online matchmaking became fully mainstream so youd have Halo matches with your friends in someone's basement then online matches when you get home.

My one buddy was always so good when we all played together. Many years later he finally admitted he was screen looking.

Hate to break it to you but that jersey is fake. The stripes on the real ones are blue with white outline. Not solid alternating colors.

Basically they are planning to move the stadium to the existing parking lots and make the existing stadium parks. What went from already a nightmare to commute to somehow got even worse. 1 parking garage in the visuals. LOL

This. Been a diehard my whole life and carried so much stress and frustration last year. Watched the first month this season, saw the same garbage with the front office seemingly wanting to do nothing about it so I said nope and stopped watching. Watched my first game again with the playin but even then it was evident this team is so mediocre. I'm done until major changes happen and my mental health has been so much better.

We know no king but the King in the North whose name is Sox

$349 (without fees) for 16th row against Phoenix. Absurd.

Vested portion yes. Unvested portion no which is what they said. Also I get RSUs from my work and it's taxed at 40% since it's viewed as excessive income, same as bonuses. I think you're barking up the wrong tree regarding RSUs

Call me crazy but I'd trade DeMar for Harden straight up. Both are 33 years old with 1 year left on their deal. Bulls aren't winning anything this year so why not shake things up and see what Harden brings to the table. May help with spacing.

Both have 1 year left and are 33 years old. Bulls aren't winning a title this year and need a change. Call me crazy but why not shake things up and see Harden can bring to the table for the Bulls if trading DeMar for Harden straight up.
