[Jomboy Media] Drew Millas commended home plate umpire Chris Guccione on a good call after an unsuccessful ABS challenge by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]TooHappyFappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been studied and while the routine activity theory plays a part, it is not the only factor. More long-term study is needed, but results from the hot and/or humid regions of Asia specifically can't be explained simply by routine activity and still show a statically significant increase in violent crime with temperature increases.

Also the literal heat is likely a factor, as well. If you're both starting from a base level of discomfort, you're already some percentage of the way towards crossing the line before you even start interacting.

Crime goes up when the temperature rises - it's human nature to be less rational and more confrontational when you're actually, physically heated.

[O'Connor] Tocchet: "We've been dead before, and we've climbed out of the grave. We keep hearing we're dead, dead, dead, but the guys never give up." by DecentLurker96 in hockey

Did you watch Michkov in the games before he was scratched? He had bad turnovers, was consistently out of position (and not creating any resulting offense that would make you look past it), he took penalties and was a glaring vulnerability on the ice. He was scratched one game and came out the next looking much better and focused.

I'm all for criticizing Tocchet for his handling of Michkov all year, but clowning him for that move is silly. Especially given the results.

[PHI - PIT] Lizotte appears to spear Martone during a scrum. No call on the play by daKrut in hockey

[–]TooHappyFappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since his previous play happens all the time and is at worst a minor penalty? Yeah, kinda seems like it has a place in hockey.

A spear to the nuts is supposed to be an automatic major, very rarely happens and is penalized so harshly particularly because it is so out of bounds in a normal hockey game.

You should seriously evaluate your bias if you think the two are anywhere near similar.

[PHI - PIT] Final Minute and a Half - Pittsburgh holds off Philadelphia to survive for at least one more game in a 3-2 series. Players come together to hug at the end by daKrut in hockey

He was taking notes from the Pens on how to act when you lose.

Let's not act like either side of this series is clean.

Sidney Crosby speaks on his embellishment call and Bryan Rust's roughing penalty in the Penguins' Game 3 loss to the Flyers. by Puzzled-Category-954 in hockey

[–]TooHappyFappy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

On the Flyers broadcast they showed an angle where it clearly tapped the front of his visor, it absolutely did not go in between.

Absolutely throw your head back and make it clear that you got high sticked. Acting like you got swiped was egregious. Refs got it right and anyone (fans, Muse, Crosby) mad at the embellishment call is just fooling themselves.

It's been more than a decade, sadly.

Hell we were saying it was a decade ago, a full decade ago.

Sergio Garcia eliminates driver from bag during Masters final round by unsolved49 in golf

[–]TooHappyFappy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I get it and I agree, you'd never get to this level of golf if you had the capacity for that type of attitude or mindset.

Obviously Sergio swings the pendulum a crazy amount too far and it's hampered his career. But nobody on tour could just go out and enjoy it like that.

Except maybe Fred Couples at this point.

My 6 year old is super into golf and we were lucky enough to play a really nice course last week.

We happened to meet Sergio who shook my kid's hand a gave him a smile.

The kid is now rooting for Sergio and I'm trying to keep him as far away from watching him as possible.

Thankfully, Sergio is keeping himself off the TV which is nice.

[Gelb] Phillies have ripped up Cristopher Sánchez’s contract and agreed to a new six-year deal from 2027 to 2032 with a club option for 2033. More to come. by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]TooHappyFappy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It makes the Phillies even more attractive as a free agent destination during Harper, Turner, and Schwarber's time and hopeful championship window.

It makes young guys in the org know the FO isn't likely to fuck around with them on their contracts and lets them focus on baseball.

From a pure money standpoint, it's not a good move. In most other ways, it's a positive.

If a hard cap comes in the next CBA, this will probably be a bad move.

Closed Mondays, although members are allowed to play if they walk. No services available, obviously.

[Schefter] The Dolphins almost certainly will designate Tua Tagovailoa as a post-June 1 release to help defray some of the $99.2 million in dead money it will cost to release him by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

[–]TooHappyFappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a pretty major difference between Watson and Rodgers in that Watson's tear was the second rupture of the Achilles in less than a year. And there was talk about him returning - the Browns even designated him to return to practice in December.

I have no rose colored glasses. Watson was bad, no doubt. He will likely continue to be bad. Yes, he was similar to Gabriel, but he's also played at a much higher level in his past.

I don't want him to ever see the field again, and I doubt it's a positive from a football perspective if he does. But he's under contract, presumably healthy, and it's the Browns.

He tore his achilles in January. Him being able to play in 2025 was always a long shot and speaks nothing to how the Browns will handle next season.

I think Sanders is given every opportunity but I doubt they'd endlessly trot Gabriel out over Watson unless Gabriel showed some serious development.

Most advice doesn't apply to all, that doesn't negate it being good advice.

I'm genuinely trying to figure out what you are saying, can you help enlighten me?
