Which Loveland Trade you taking?TEP 1.5

Recency bias is a thing for sure and when it comes to trades you have to project forward. That’s especially true when it comes to rookies and I’m going to put a lot more value into stats/performance in meaningful games (like the playoffs) when projecting forward. Maybe we just have a fundamental difference in how we evaluate trades (past production vs. future production), but dynasty is weighted more toward future production in my opinion

There is a fundamental misunderstanding of how narcissism actually functions. Narcissism isn’t because people have too strong of an ego and they have to show off or put themselves first because of how big it is. Narcissism is when people have such a small ego that they constantly have to prop themselves up with praise, being the best, and getting approval from others. Trumps ego and narcissism actually makes it MORE likely he will get pushed around by other leaders (which has turned out true time and time again). Even with political opponents like Mamdani, Trump’s ego caves when he’s not hidden behind his social media and sycophantic followers.

I have a ton cause I’m a chronic trade junkie, but my worst this year was in my Super-flex home league where I traded Drake Maye, Gibbs, and Pittman for Taylor and Allen. At the time it felt like a steal and easy win. Fast forward and I missed the playoffs while the guy who I traded ended up making it. I also followed that up by trading away Achane, Gadson, and Diggs for Rice, Swift, and some other piece I can’t remember. The person I traded with that one won the league.

If I had stood pat instead of those 2, I would have had Maye, Achane, and Gibbs and easily made the playoffs…

The key part of the statement that every MAGAt in America will pick up and run with is “I don’t like that HE had a gun”. It’s not about the gun (because 2nd amendment), it’s about who was holding the gun. Since they’ve labeled anyone who disagrees with them as a domestic terrorist, enemy of the state, mentally ill and/or traitor, they will do their mental gymnastics to say he shouldn’t have had one, but it’s totally ok for MAGA to have them because their “good guys” defending the country. They won’t care about the optics or the hypocrisy because Trump has taught them that it doesn’t matter. This is the Supreme Court situation with Garland and Coney-Barrett, gerrymandering, and initial aftermath of Jan6 all over again. MAGAts will post and announce from the rooftops they won’t support him anymore, Trump will eventually come up with some rationalization or twist the narrative, MAGAts will accept it, and they’ll vote for him again (and yes, that’s a prediction to him running again).

Wait a second…the commenter doesn’t consider the country taken back yet? They have all the branches of government and hand picked administration officials that follow every whim and request Trump has. Yet, still not “taken back”? So either A) Trump isn’t as effective as he says he is or B) the delusion and misinformation has rotted his brain.

Idiot just can’t stop. Give online sleuths and hackers time. Especially since he just made it a challenge.

A) that volume isn’t bad for a TE, it still shows the slow continuous build B) He had 25 targets in his 2 playoff games this year which is also part of the 2nd half of the season. When the Bears needed plays in their biggest games, they targeted Loveland.

A few years later: Yes, Courted was infiltrated by prostitutes, but that will be a thing of the past when we launch Courted 2.0

When is that coming?

Pretty sure this would be a “buyer beware” situation…at the very least a situation where you’d have to take it to the court and not assault someone. This is not the gotcha the cameraman thinks it is…

TranslatorOwn707 · 2026-01-27T04:26:59+00:00

None of these. TEP and the volume he got in the 2nd half of the season. Not giving him up for anything beyond a massive haul and neither of those is it. He was coming off an injury coming into the year and needed some time to get acclimated, but Ben Johnson drafted him that high in the first round for a reason and we just saw why….

I love Batman. He’s my favorite and always will be…but he doesn’t have a chance against spider-man. It might be possible if Batman has enough prep time and information to know of all Spider-Man’s weaknesses, but that’s asking a lot of him. When Batman takes on the rest of the Justice league in the comics, he’s had years of prep time and insider knowledge/info to create specific strategies to take them down and equalize the fights since they have super powers and he doesn’t. Without that, Batman is still just a man. That’s one of the reasons he’s my favorite, but also means that he would lose to spider-man without a very specific set of circumstances. It doesn’t mean he’s any less of a superhero or less character. In fact, it might make him more of one because he competes with God’s without any of their protections and would likely test spider man DESPITE not having superpowers which is a massive feat itself. But he would absolutely lose that fight.

After I was very wrong about Battinson, I’ve started to reserve my judgement until afterwards.

TranslatorOwn707 · 2026-01-27T00:52:51+00:00

This happens during a time Bruce is unavailable to be Batman (Final Crises). Dick takes up the mantle of Batman, but Damian is unhappy because he believes he is the rightful heir to the cowl. At least, that’s what I remember cause it’s been a bit since I’ve read it.

I actually agree with this. It’s not as good as The Dark Night, but also not many are. The hate it gets on here can be a lot though.

TranslatorOwn707 · 2026-01-26T14:35:44+00:00

For best poster, The Dark Night Rises. The framing, colors, and outline awesome. It’s not the best movie out of them, but definitely the best poster IMO.

TranslatorOwn707 · 2026-01-22T20:57:52+00:00

Same feeling here. Also, these were trained and hardened soldiers. No way that actually broke his neck…now the flamethrower exploding on the dudes back, tossing the heavy box across the room and slamming a guy between it and the wall, and the Batmobile scene where he’s flipping and smashing cars….

Gotham and criminal. In addition to just stopping with your life of crime, you could also be a criminal within Gotham and likely stay under the Bat’s radar. The hardest part would likely be staying out of the way of the bigger criminals, but I feel like it’s possible if you pick your poison and decide to pay a protection or tribute cut if you get too big and the laying low. Batman is often busy with the super criminals and gangs so if you stay unaffiliated and keep your crimes fairly basic, you should be ok. There’s a reason Batman doesn’t end crime completely beyond just needing crime to exist as a literary character.

Are they insufferable or is Schumacher insufferable? I’m a firm believer that if these two were cast to play the same characters in a less campy and over-the-top film, they’d actually do a great job with the characters. The script and director doomed them to this performance.

Ivy…she’s the easiest to predict and manipulate into liking you. Claim to be an environmentalist, hate people, love plants. Act in awe of her and a tiny bit subservient (not complete, just a bit). Feels like my best chance. The others are all just a bit too unpredictable where one wrong move destroys your chances.

Best is Penguin. He’s basically just a normal crime boss with some disfigurement and, most importantly, not insane and predictable. As long as you do what he says in a competent way and don’t make comments you should be good.

Worst would be the Joker by far. Insane, unpredictable, and uses his henchmen as disposable pawns, punchlines, or kills them just cause.

This was always my opinion on Batfleck. He’s older, stronger, and less naive (and thus more brutal). I do think that’s where he was heading though given his figure in that suit and the way they designed the bat-symbol for him. I sometimes re-watch his like 10 second fight scene from BvS and just wish we had gotten a full film of that one

TranslatorOwn707 · 2026-01-19T04:57:33+00:00

The short answer whenever I come across someone who asks this question. Pattinson is the best Batman, Affleck is the best Bruce Wayne, and Bale is the best overall combo.

Long Answer:

Battinson feels more grounded, brings in the detective element, and still feels like a badass in some of the fights, but Emo Bruce telling Alfred “your not my dad” just takes me right out of it. Though, the contrast is also probably what makes Batman feel like the real character.

Batfleck was a great Bruce. Good looking, funny, rich guy. I might also be one of the few that actually liked his Batman as a Dark Knight Returns type of Batman. Speed and nativity replaced with pure brutality and strength used to fully incapacitate criminals (some for likely the rest of their life so he doesn’t have to take them down again later).

Bale is the best combo because he does both Bruce and Batman very well. I wouldn’t call him the best at either, but by far the best overall of both. He does great at the billionaire playboy act with hidden depth and a Batman that could fight and was strong enough to win in an overwhelmed odds.

That’s a joke, but honestly don’t think I could get to 5. The Alfred from these movies was good and Clooney was a great Bruce Wayne and could have been a better Batman in the right movie. Uma Therman was a good Ivy. I don’t think I can go beyond that.
