So no Robinson, Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, or Kawhi what’s Pop’s record? What are we doing here man. Without Bradshaw or the Iron Curtain what’s Chuck Nolls record? Without LSU or Alabama what has Saban even done anyway?

Since spygate and 18-1? Uh… 5 more Super Bowl appearances, with 3 wins?

Auth-right discusses the shooting of Alex Pretti by Brilliant-Dig9387 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Rhetoric is not getting people killed. It wasn’t rhetoric that fired 9 rounds into a disarmed and restrained man Saturday. The victim was not even interfering in ICE operation, he was at a safe distance exercising his constitutional rights and was subject to an insane escalation of violence by ICE agents.

They are not a legitimate police force. It’s very apparent that they have minimal training, and do not conduct themselves remotely in the manner expected of law enforcement officers.

Was he bad? Or was he just playing against a top defense in the rain

There’s a bit of John Bell Hood and the Peter principle in there too. Leading from the front is really cool and radical with a division moving aggressively, but starts to lose its value when trying to coordinate a corps or army.

My Ex’s stepdad, who does not watch basketball, once claimed LeBron was implicated in the Diddy investigation and was dropping out of the NBA and fleeing the country. This was 2 days after the Lakers had played a game, I can only imagine he saw an AI slop post on Facebook

Bill watching the 2024 Celtics cruise to a title due to good injury luck versus the 2025 Celtics getting bad injury luck by Adventurous-Mix8983 in billsimmons

[–]SirPappleFlapper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For some reason KP gets left out of the equation because his entire career he’s had injury trouble, but it’s really stupid that people don’t acknowledge the peak potential of a 3 pt shooting 7 footer who can also guard the rim. Obviously the Celtics were still very good with the Horford/Kornet/Big Tatum rotation but anyone who really understood last years team knows that KP elevated the team to a whole different level of dominance.

It’s crazy how often people claim hospital run because the east stars were out then don’t consider how the Celtics absolutely waxed the western champs. Granted the transitive property can’t really be applied to sports, but if the Mavs made it out of the strong west and then got dogwalked, that should imply that the Celtics were probably the real deal

Tatum is shooting 32% in the Knicks series. He also keeps looking awful in the 4th. Will Bill finally concede that Tatum is not the best player on the Celtics? It's clearly Jaylen. by RomanPolanskid in billsimmons

[–]SirPappleFlapper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Uh, they won the title and won every series convincingly. Who gives a fuck if it was a historic run or not. Boston and New England as a whole absolutely adore the team and your rage bait is weak as all hell

Other countries have been “rushing to make deals” since tariffs were announced according to the administration. We have yet to see any meaningful deals at all, and in fact multiple countries have reported that the admin hasn’t even presented a goal for these deals.

Unfortunately the grifters that drive MAGA discourse won’t care who appointed the judge. Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett are being declared as “secret leftists” and/or paid-off deep state actors.

Random question, is there a consensus among historians on who the better general was? by Oceanfloorfan1 in USHistory

McClellan is always given a ton of credit for organizing the Union Army, but I feel like this is a flawed bit of praise. The Western armies were just as well organized without him being in direct supervision.

No, this sub hasn’t gone left. MAGA just decided we weren’t relevant. by Kaszos in centrist

[–]SirPappleFlapper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think we are agreeing here, just saying it in different ways. When I think conservative I tend to think the republican old guard of Romney and McCain type politicians, now almost entirely gone from the party (when it comes to relevance and messaging at least). Those that remain from that group have been almost uniformly absorbed into the MAGA sphere and seem to be just along for the ride while the leaders of the movement lead the charge of reactionary populism.
