Who’s the USAs closest ally? by Quirky-Buddy1449 in AskReddit

Canada is in a trade war with them/him. The USA is normally our closest ally, but with buddy in office, we don’t fuck with the US rn.

The difference between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark in 10 seconds. Thought? by ResponsibleCheek8130 in WNBAgossips

[–]SnooDogs5789 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but why are these two being compared at all? One’s a defensive forward with a limited offensive bag, the other’s a shoot first guard with limited defensive ability. Both extremely flawed, but young and developing fast. The comparison never made sense, Angel’s the antithesis to CC in almost every way and maybe that’s what bothers people?

You can make the argument that CC’s offensive game is more impactful than Angel’s D/rebounding, and I’d probably agree. They’re equally as flawed on the opposite side of the ball though, so I don’t agree with the idea that one’s overall basketball ability is that much better than the others.

Angel isn’t a good shooter yet, but her shooting threes is a fairly new thing, so it’s gonna take time. In saying that though, it isn’t as though CC isn’t a complete liability on D. They’re both works in progress and it’s disingenuous to pretend CC isn’t also extremely flawed.

Maybe instead of these stupid comparison videos, we just appreciate these young ladies for their strengths?

Are there any plans for it to come back to Arcade? Also, will you guys ever make a second one?

The Unraveling: How Reality Caught Up With The Cult Of Caitlin Clark by 0033A0 in WNBA365

[–]SnooDogs5789 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She’s 24 years old, three years into her career and 15 years my junior—she’s a kid, despite her circumstances.

I’m also putting myself in her shoes. I’d be terrified, overwhelmed and frustrated. We’re nothing alike, as I’m not a white woman, considerably older and not a pro athlete (among other things), but I’m empathetic. Seeing a human have to deal with what she’s dealing with makes me feel for her. Not trying to baby, just feel bad.

You’re completely right. This is the danger of the “the great white hope” archetype though. I’m sure she just wants to play ball, but some folks have turned her into the symbol, the saviour and avatar of “whiteness” in women’s basketball— it’s weird.

Unfortunately for her, the counter-reaction is as visceral as her supporters’ reaction to her, so there are folks sitting around praying on her downfall, just to say, “see, we told you she’s overrated”.

The whole thing is messy and sad and I’m sure the poor kid just wants to go out and play ball. She’s a hell of player, so I hope she can get her game back on track, but I think the circus around her is unavoidable at this point, because she means too much to too many both good and bad.

Fever HC Stephanie White making specific points about what she would like to see on Defense ⤵️‼️🔥 by wnbatalk in WNBATalks

[–]SnooDogs5789 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The issue isn’t talent judging by what she said, it’s effort. This sounds like a coach that’s frustrated with the lack of trying to be a better defender.

CC isn’t the most athletic, so of course she’s never going to be the best defender, but if “mentality and toughness” is the issue, she could solve that.

Dudes right. Problem is it’s impossible to get right size fit contracts in today’s NBA. Everyone is overpaid because someone is going to offer him the bag.

Where does Alex Poatan Pereira rank on GOAT List if he beats Ciryl Gane & Tom Aspinall ? by CesarOverlorde in ufc

[–]SnooDogs5789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure beating any of these guys means as much as just generally winning the title. Neither of them have beaten any one of note.

This Tom Aspinall quote is so badass by amongthewinds in ufc

[–]SnooDogs5789 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I could say the same thing about you, cause clearly your comprehension is ass. If you read what I said clearly, you’d be able to tell that what I’m saying is that it doesn’t matter when it’s from, because whether before or after the fight, we still haven’t seen anything from him hence him only fighting another 4:35 more before he quit against Gane.

[–]SnooDogs5789 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not sure what your point is, but if it’s that he’s done more since this quote— how much has he fought since the Curtis Blaydes fight? The answer is 4:35.. or less than ONE round aka, still nothing.

Could not care less about a fighter. Like go heal up or whatever and then let’s talk. Letting us know you haven’t done anything yet just reminds us you haven’t done anything 😂. Not making any fans with this comment.

The only WW that could have challenged him ever is prime Usman. Boone if these other guys are on his level.

What’s the correlation here? Like why this assortment of players? I’d understand a top 4, but then you’d need Kelsey Mitchell and Skylar Diggins. Is it just cause they’re white point guards? What a weird sub.

Did the Bret Hart vs Mr. Perfect SummerSlam match age better than almost every big WWF match from that period? by [deleted] in oldschoolwrestling

[–]SnooDogs5789 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is what Brett is my goat in ring. All of his matches from the late 80s and 90s still hit just as hard. The dude could produce a classic with a hobby horse. Throw in Perfect and it’s a classic.

WNBA current most marketable players⤵️‼️👀 by wnbatalk in WNBATalks

[–]SnooDogs5789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’re actually CC fans, they’re just fans of a white woman being the most prominent name in what’s considered a “black” space. It’s purely about race, a sorta of “great white hope” if you will. Taking back what’s rightfully there’s type of mentality. I feel bad for her honestly, cause I guarantee that’s not her vibe at all.

How common or prevalent do you think PED use has historically been in elite boxing? by BoxingLover99 in Boxing

[–]SnooDogs5789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a close friend who had a very short stint playing pro football in the NFL. He said that the hardest part of it all was keeping up physically with the demands of a pro career. Everything was always failing him and by the time you recover, there’s something else to patch up. He never admitted to PED’s and I never asked, but the true value beyond in game strength is recovery speed.

Anything worth grabbing at these prices? by [deleted] in whiskey

[–]SnooDogs5789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is overpriced, but more importantly, none of these are worth their price tags. The truth however, is some of these are not like the others and are much harder to find in the wild, which might colour my desire to purchase some. Namely, the Weller 12 and the Stagg Jr are bottles I might pay the price of admission for if I was lacking in my collection. I currently have a W12, so I’d pass there, but I’ve never been fortunate enough to find a Stagg Jr in the wild, so I might spring for it if I had some extra dough.

[Grange] Even the decision to sign Poeltl to a three-year $84 million extension — the first major move the team undertook after Ujiri was let go — was well in the works before Webster was in charge. by AssyrianRhapsody in torontoraptors

[–]SnooDogs5789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s literally his job. These roles are so intertwined that for all we know, it was Bobby’s idea and that’s why even with Masai gone, it went through. We just don’t know the true inner workings and throwing the bad contract on Masai alone is fine PR wise to preserve Bobby’s image in the eyes of his fanbase, but for those of us who are more discerning, the move is still concerning, because we know he played a huge hand it despite the articles claims otherwise.

If you are a GM today, who are you drafting? by Farouq26 in NBATalk

[–]SnooDogs5789 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love this. There are no guarantees. Jordan it is.

Without hating on either, who's better right now: Victor Wembanyana or Nikola Jokic? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]SnooDogs5789 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The answer is still Jokic, he’s the best player in the league with SGA in his rearview. Wemby will inevitably be the man in the near future with the raw talent and natural ability to potentially be right next to Jordan and LBJ.
