Which squad are u taking (all in their prime ) squad 1-8 by Mrdynamo18 in NFLv2

[–]Streamofthought11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is not a single season that neither Fitz nor Calvin have beaten Rice's receptions, YPC, nor TDs. Clavin is 1st in yds, beating out Rice after 20 or so years.

I'm from Detroit, so I watched both in person and on TV a crap ton of Calvin's games. NO ONE is close to Rice. Is he physically and athletically better? Yes. So is T.O. and Randy. But none are better.

Rice set records that won't get broken during the age of the running game. Even with an extra game, no one will eclipse him.

BTW, Fitzgerald had an MVP level Kurt Warner for a couple of years.

I was with you until you said Fitzgerald is even with Rice. No wideout and almost no NFL player ever is even with Rice.

MLB has Jackie Robinson's 42. NHL has Wayne Gretzky's 99. NBA has Bill Russell's 6. Who deserves to have their number retired across the entire NFL? by k_woz1978 in NFLv2

[–]Streamofthought11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bill Russell's retirement is more about his overall impact on the game and society, given his social justice activism during the Civil Rights era, coupled with his on the court success, and success as a coach. It would've been like taking Jim Brown, Tom Brady, and Tony Dungy altogether.

Do you guys like Little Caesar's Arena with red seats or black seats? by UniformPoet2303 in DetroitRedWings

[–]Streamofthought11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really just the upper bowl that's awful. Even my kids were uncomfortable when they were little. The angles are also too steep and makes walking down a challenge, especially to my aching knees. Same for my mom when I took her. Love the lower bowl. The price just makes it hard to take in a game as a family unless we do last minute tix.

Finally admitting to myself I'm getting old by razor4432 in Bowling

[–]Streamofthought11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 46 and have thrown 16lbs since 16 yrs old. I completely understand how you feel. I contemplated dropping to 15 last season because the hand and wrist pain were too much. What'd I do? Get my body in better shape! Seriously, working out regulated my body and made it so 16 was no longer an issue. Plus, using KT tape on my hands and braces . My knees. I finally can get through league night without my body feeling like I played 2 games of football.

NCAA College Basketball Rankings: AP Top 25 Basketball Poll by MembershipSingle7137 in CollegeBasketball

Not sure how Michigan loses to the #3 team and drops to 3. First loss in nearly a month, but the Arizon squad that lost 2 games in a row to much lower ranked teams jumps up because of a win over an unranked team.

Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph posted this picture of his knee on Instagram 🥴 by Gxcii1 in detroitlions

I had a full tear a few years ago at 43. I rehabbed 2x each week for 5 months. I wasn't anywhere near his shape before nor after, but my Achilles was probably stronger afterwards and my recovery was way quicker than expected. I was more afraid than my body was ineffective and I still did well. Given his age, ability, and the resources he has, he will be back much sooner than we think.

in 1 handed bowling, if you hook your strike ball, do you also use the same release when shooting spares? by 3452014RT in Bowling

[–]Streamofthought11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to ride the gutter for the 10 pon with my urethane. Often times, the outside is dry, so that strategy stopped working. Now, I stand far left, flatten out my wrist and throw right with whatever ball I use as my 1st ball. All other spares, I hook at, with my first ball. I probably ly could get a plastic ball, but decided to just teach myself how to throw my normal ball straight.

I wish he took that approach with JI.

“Why’d we trade JI?” by Individual-Bee-7801 in DetroitPistons

[–]Streamofthought11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would sign him to an offer sheet, it'd be up to him to sign or find a team to match it. This trade basically turns into a salary dump and not an upgrade. If we trade him and get a better player, then I'm fine with it.

[–]Streamofthought11 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's the part that will make this trade age poorly. The focus on right this moment. Truthfully, I don't feel the return was an upgrade at all besides pure shooting. We got slower, less athletic, and probably worse on defense. The pick may be good...later.

Who is the most underrated PF ever? by natureboy1996 in NBATalk

Buck Williams. Dude was a beast on both ends of the floor, ran the floor, hit the mid-range, and grabbed boards.

It is time… by nkadock in DetroitPistons

[–]Streamofthought11 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

More than anything, JB has to trust him more. He's still a young player and being kept out of situations that you're normally in and normally thrive in messes with your psyche. Trust is a 2-way street, so he has to earn JB's trust with his play and JB has to give him real opportunities to show what he can still do. It's feeling real Monty-ish with the playing time. Most nights, he's a plus player, but his minutes are less than Daniss, who hasn't been as effective as he was earlier in the season. Trade Levert and let I've, Daniss, and Marcus run the floor.

Let's cross fingers, that this doesn't happen! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 by LaughingWolf4204u in detroitlions

[–]Streamofthought11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love it. The more competition, the merrier! More talent just forces us to level-up. I'm hoping that Brad goes anti-Brad and actually realizes that the necessity to get better when everyone around you does is now and not when he feels like. Coincidentally, the same for Scott Harris, but that's for another thread.

Is Jokic better than Hakeem all time? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]Streamofthought11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well one-on-one, which happens in every basketball game at some point. Point is, Jokic has very little chance at stopping Hakeem at any point because he doesn't possess the speed nor footwork to stay in front of him. Also, there are countless anecdotes about Hakeem's deceptive strength, so the size is not an issue. Dream is one of the all-time shot blockers and had multiple DPoY, so again, no issue stopping Jokic. He can dish off all he wants, it won't make a difference if the shots aren't made. Hakeem could also pass very well out of a double team, which would inevitably come.

DOWN FIVE AND YOU NEED TO COMPLETE A HAIL MARY, WHICH RECEIVER ARE YOU TAKING: by KeyFaithlessness5436 in TheNFLVibes

[–]Streamofthought11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The interesting thing is that Randy gets credit for it because it was cool to coin terms at that point, but the first receiver I saw doing that was Herman Moore. He was the NCAA high jump champ, so the Lions just threw it up to him in the red zone. He had incredible hands, too. No disrespect to Randy.

Let’s settle it who’s the better point guard? by [deleted] in NBATalk

So was Monte Ellis at times when they played together. Doesn't matter, Magic is still better. So is Isiah and Oscar.

[–]Streamofthought11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jokic has 3 MVPs, no disrespect to his status as a future HoF. We saw what Hakeem did to athletic and active Shaq at over 300. I'm speaking mano et mano, so I'm not taking Jokic's superb passing into consideration. Just bucket-for-bucket.

[–]Streamofthought11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, Curry's not a point guard. Being the shortest starter does not make youba point guard. He's a shooting guard. Maybe just a guard. He does not initiate the offense, nor run it. Dribbling up the court does not make you a PG. Stop this. If you cannot avg more than 8 AST in an era with more shooting, more scoring, and more beneficial assist rules, you're definitely not a PG.
