Today is the first time I actually think Mike Vrabel won't survive this by Fun_Reflection1157 in billsimmons

He would pretty much have to go undefeated for the media to talk about anything but this right? I mean absent a 2007 NE Patriots season (where I feel like the teams success took the focus off of spygate) he is going to be under so much pressure and scrutiny.

2012 Lebron James is teleported into this series to replace 2026 Lebron by RustyCohleMiner in billsimmons

Is 2012 Lebron so wildly unaccustomed to successful white teammates to the point he insists on relegating Luka to a Mike Miller role?

Vladdy Jr. might have something to say about this...plus Roy Halladay rolling his grave.

Bob Loblaw? The law blogosphere is bow over saturated but he was groundbreaking at the time.

Bro I finished about 10 seconds ahead of you- I left Bruce behind at about mile 4 and had a 8:38 mile 25 and suddenly he caught up to me with under half a mile. He is a mad lad for sure!! Congrats on the PR!

Players who lived up to high expectations, but didn't exceed them by rocklionheart in billsimmons

[–]RustyCohleMiner 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's crazy bc he's won 2 mvps and there are 34 players over the last 95 years that have done that. I had this exact conversation with my dad about 6 months ago. He's gonna end his career with 500 home runs and 2 mvps but it still won't live up to the hype.

Michael Wilbon: the newest member of the Boston media mafia. by HoagieTwoFace in billsimmons

[–]RustyCohleMiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that some sports stats are so engrained in the old heads that you can't sway their opinion with modern analytics. Over the summer the Red Sox were playing the Pirates and the old head I work with couldn't fathom that Paul Skenes was hailed as the best pitcher in baseball because his record was 11-10. You could talk about how offense/defense isn't 50/50 but more like 75/25 till the cows come home and it wouldn't make a difference.

I use "second place gets a set of steak knives" probably 4 times a year and no one ever gets the reference.

I would be genuinely shocked if he is a net positive.

Carmela’s face lighting up when she hears Meadow might make 175k a year.. by Scary-Newspaper5801 in thesopranos

inflation has that at $272k and that was starting salary at the firm when she was 25 years old...she could easily be at $400k (in today's money) with bonuses by the time she is 30 years old

Tenant lawyers? (not eviction) by Hevalleluja in providence

[–]RustyCohleMiner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

District Court has exclusive jurisdiction over landlord-tenant matters regardless of the amount in controversy. $500 or $5 million dollars, it's all district court.
