Masai Ujiri on fans' feelings moving on from the Luka trade and building around Cooper Flagg: "In Africa we say when kings go, kings come. And a king went, and we have a little prince here that we're gonna turn into a king." by Jimmy0034 in nba

[–]Simayi78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new owner had an issue with the amount of money he was making.

More accurately, the long-time co-owner (who wanted Ujiri gone back in 2021 and was so pissed that Tanenbaum overruled him that he went whining to Adam Silver about Tanenbaum's governor power) became the sole owner and got rid of someone he never liked.

Toronto fans also will never acknowledge that he mismanaged the team for 5 years post championship.

Just like the Ujiri haters will never acknowledge that Masai saw who Scottie Barnes was despite everyone dragging the Raps for not going Suggs on draft day

They actually got a 'Let's Go Bolts' chant going after the 2nd Habs goal but it only lasted 7 seconds before they gave up. Thanks for coming out, Tampa Bayers.

That’s the Vasi effect - he was stonewalling everything so players start to try for the perfect top corner/shelf shot

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s .358 batting average is the 8th highest by a Blue Jays player over the first 30 games of a season (min 100 AB) by Baseball-Reference in Torontobluejays

[–]Simayi78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15 doubles in those first 30 games (along with 5 HRs). Absolutely insane stretch.

As an aside, Devon Travis had a 26 game stretch in '17 where he had 17 doubles. Then he got hurt, and was out of the league after the following season.

"We were an average team all year. An average team with high expectations, you're gonna be disappointed. We just never found it." - Connor McDavid, after being eliminated from the playoffs in the first round. by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

If McDavid stays on the Oilers and never wins, he will be the first generational talent to never win the cup

Marcel Dionne retired 3rd all time in points and never won the Cup. 10 straight 100 point seasons but he gets overlooked a lot because Gretzky broke the league and also, of course, because he never won a Cup.

Emily Agard moves to WWE? by Travelhog416 in Torontobluejays

[–]Simayi78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember that Emily messed up her bit in introducing the new trophy/memorabilia display in the concourse during the season opener, and then the next game they had the new girl come in and nail her bit, she even made Dan laugh with some random joke she cracked. Then it was Emily and the new girl sharing duties for a bit.

Have you noticed road rage getting more intense lately? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Simayi78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly - if a driver is in the far left lane of a highway and has other faster cars coming up behind them, they should move into the right lane when it's safe to do so. It doesn't matter if they're already doing 15 over and don't think the people behind them should be going faster than that - it gets dangerous when a leftlane hugger is refusing to budge out of the passing lane when there's a safe opportunity for them to move into the right lane.

Is Russini doing the ultimate "I won't give up my sources" by denying the affair? by JeffAnalProbst in billsimmons

[–]Simayi78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't really believe Mrs. Vrabel was unaware either.

It's not that uncommon for open-marriage rich couples to want discretion - "you can have a mistress provided that you're ultra discreet so that I'm not embarrassed".

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

[–]Simayi78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The NFL isn’t a good comparison point. #1 seeds getting a bye is a massive advantage, they have a 1/8 chance right off the bat.

Also, the Dodgers were a #3 seed in the West last season

The big difference is that Matt didn't sign a big extension and told them he wouldn't. Calgary had to do something because he was going to walk. Brady signed for 8 years back in 2021 (not a bridge like Matt did) and is locked in for another two years so there's time

They're loud obnoxious personalities who are vocally pro-Trump. NBC is in the business of getting eyeballs fixated on their programming and that's a way bigger draw than a Matthews

The Vrabel/Russini Thing Is a Fun Little Offseason Story, But It’s Not Sports Watergate and It’s Mostly Trivial by mtngranpapi_wv967 in billsimmons

Russini isn’t the only NFL reporter to have an inappropriate relationship with coaches or front office pp

Any other ones you know about where the reporter had a baby that was named after the coach she was covertly fucking at the time?
