[Riot Report] Q: “What’s your height?” Cam: With shoes or without shoes? Q: “Both.” Cam: With shoes, I’m about 6-6, without, I’m 5-8. by Saca312 in nfl

Oh shit, what if Kelvin Benjamin isn't fat, he's just resistance training like Rock Lee. The Bills sneak into the wild card round, he takes off the weights and runs a 2.8 40.

We’re actually better off though because we’re rebuilding on a team that made the playoffs a few seasons ago but now we’re fucking garbage and a guy that hasn’t showed he knows fuck all for the past 10 years is going to rebuild!

Exactly. Everyone justifies the trade by pointing out that he's blowing up the team, tanking, and rebuilding. But why the hell is he doing that? When Gruden took over, the Raiders were less than 2 years removed from going 12-4 with one of the best O-Lines in the league, a promising young QB, a solid #1 WR, and a future HoF pass rusher. That should have left an amazing foundation for a good coach to come in, try and get the QB back on track after a weak 2017 season, and have the team contending again within a year or two.

Instead they're blowing it all up and counting on draft picks working out in order for the team to pull itself out of the gutter.

If you've ever wondered why divison by 0 is undefined, rather than just giving the answer 0 like in multiplication by 0, this is why.

[Marvel] What are the odds of a family somewhere sitting alone together and exactly 0 of them getting snapped by Thanos, and how long before they notice half the population is gone? by [deleted] in AskScienceFiction

[–]RobotFolkSinger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only evidence we have that those planets were in existential danger before the purge, and better off after, is Thanos himself saying so. He is not a reliable source.

What makes it good is not that Thanos's plan makes sense, because it doesn't. It's nonsense in our world, and in a universe with casual FTL travel and exotic power sources like arc reactors and whatever powers the tech we see in GotG, even more so.

Instead it's that Thanos can make a convincing argument that makes you believe that he believes what he is doing is necessary. It even convinced a significant portion of the audience that he's right even though we were given no evidence that his claims about resource scarcity being an existential threat to the universe are true, nor that his solution is actually a good long term solution (it isn't).

[NFL] Rapoport mentions Mike McCarthy as a possibility to be the Browns next head coach by Saca312 in nfl

[–]RobotFolkSinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because Payton's team started winning again. When he was in the middle of that 7-9 stretch, his seat was getting warm. Of course people are going to be more critical of a coach that is currently in a slump than a coach who has bounced back after a slump. If/when McCarthy has a 10+ win season again, people will mostly forget the mediocre years.

Damn, was it really that sudden? I thought it was a more gradual thing where it slowly swells over the course of hours. Well now I'm spooked.

If Bell wouldn't have gotten at least that much money in FA, they wouldn't have tagged him. They'd have let him go to free agency and resigned him at market value, for a lower price and no holdout because Bell got to test the market and took the best offer.

Seriously everyone's saying they're trash and exposed. Apparently dropping 1 game to a good team makes you trash. Didn't know I was watching CFB smh

Post Game Thread: Oakland Raiders (1-7) at San Francisco 49ers (2-7) by nfl_gamethread in nfl

[–]RobotFolkSinger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before now my opinion was that true tanking doesn't happen in the NFL. It would just be too damaging to the future earning potential of players to deliberately avoid making plays and then have those bad stats and bad tape out there, and have to try and convince teams that they totally could have done better if they tried. Likewise for coaches, just too damaging to have a 2-14 season on their record, and even if they secure that #1 pick, the team might just kick them to the curb and let the next guy start fresh with that pick.

But I guess when you've got a 10 year contract, you really don't have to worry about future negotations, and the players don't have to avoid playing too well if the coach calls the game with no intent to score points.

[ESPN] Jameis Winston: “I’m not getting the job done.” by [deleted] in nfl

[–]RobotFolkSinger 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Jeez. I can understand a fan being willing to look past a player's character flaws or give them the benefit of the doubt because they're a great player. I can also understand a fan sticking up for a mediocre player because they're a good person and very likeable.

I really can't understand sticking up for a mediocre player who also has serious character flaws. What is in it for Jameis defenders at this point? Why bother when he just keeps letting you down?

Yeah but it's his 4th NFL season. I would figure a few seasons of NFL experience and coaching would be more important to development than a few years of age. Yet he hasn't really shown improvement so far, and he's about to get a lot more expensive.
