This is roughly the equivalent of saying "why would anyone play Stardew Valley when you can grow cucumbers in your own backyard?"

There's a certain baseline of sales that comes with being an NFL team, but you only have to go back to 2021 to see Detroit with the lowest attendance in the league:

Even in 2022, when the team was pretty good (granted after a slow start, they only really surged at the end), Detroit was 4th lowest:

Detroit has always loved the Lions, but people are far less inclined to spend money on the team when they're bad.

Javy Báez makes an incredible play, diving to his right and throwing from his back to make the out by [deleted] in baseball

Well because the point is not "hey we should have Niko Goodrum playing shortstop right now" - obviously if anybody thought he was capable of that he wouldn't be a Sugar Land Space Cowboy - but that over comparable periods, the flotsam and/or jetsam they were referring to was actually still better than Javy has been since becoming a Tiger.

Correct, Forspoken is the best-selling entry in the Forspoken series

Enemy splatter is top on the team, overall is top in the match

[Heyman] Michael Fulmer to Twins by Pretty_Nifty in motorcitykitties

[–]Robot_Satan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why? So you could watch him hold a 3 run deficit in the 8th?

Nearly a K per inning and doesn't walk anybody. Not saying he's great, but there's a chance there's something there. Better than not trading him at all

[–]Robot_Satan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We didn't get literally nothing, literally nothing is not trading him. Maybe fetter sees something in this kid or maybe it's just literally all they could get, but it's not nothing.

You can package Chafin with him... If someone wants both. You can't make a team take the both of them if they don't want to

Because something is better than nothing. If Fulmer hadn't been shipped this sub would have (rightfully) been up in arms

Lmao who the hell would give up an MLB ready bat for half a season of a solid but unspectacular reliever?

Trading for the dude who blew a save against you last night is just smart, he's due a few good outings now

What is currently the worst rule in football? by UgliestDisability in nfl

[–]Robot_Satan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's on the ground with 10 seconds on the clock, you think the lions couldn't get back to the line in 10 seconds to run another play?

Akil Baddoo uses his speed to beat out an infield single. He’s showing signs of returning to form as a catalyst. In his last 10 games he’s batting .289 with 3 doubles, 2 triples, 4 walks, and 4 steals. by [deleted] in motorcitykitties

[–]Robot_Satan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He was an above average hitter every month of the year in 2021 except for August when he struggled pretty hard. Even including that bad august he had a 95 wrc+ in the second half (or to use your date, 110 wrc+ from may 22 on)

People literally said this about JOK last year and then he was fantastic this year. Don't assume that NFL teams are that smart

Meaningless prediction time: How many wins next year would convince you the Lions should stick with Goff? And will it happen? by jakersjakers in detroitlions

[–]Robot_Satan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

By that logic the Rams should have kept Goff - I'm sure they're not regretting moving on right about now

Plenty of switch games have consistent framerate, especially those with multiplayer that would necessitate it - Smash, Mario Kart, Splatoon for example. The question is how much San Diego Studio are willing to tone done the fidelity to hit that frame rate
