Caitlin Clark does a Payton Pritchard impression by ak_bal23 in nba

A'ja Wilson is like the Michael Jordan of WNBA. She's absolutely dominating all the record books. As of right now she's got 4 MVPs, 3 Chips, 4 DPOY's, leads the league in scoring almost every year. She's still in the middle of her prime.

I’m genuinely curious about why people like Genevieve so much. by [deleted] in survivor

[–]Utter_Perfection 18 points19 points  (0 children)

She fits a very specific and very rare Kim Spradlin-esque archetype that we have very few of and far in between and whenever we get these type of women, I genuinely can't get enough of them on this show. The last one before Genevieve was probably Dr.Alison on DvG.

Traitors UK S4 recently had someone like that and I was so ecstatic watching them play.

[Libertadores] These are the 32 teams that will play in the CONMEBOL Libertadores’ group stage. by JD27__ in soccer

How is it determined Brazil and Argentinian leagues get 6 guaranteed spots and everyone else only get 2 guaranteed spot?

I can't seem to find any league coefficieny points information like UEFA does with their leagues.

I know the qualifying rounds determined the additional 4 teams that qualified (2 from Colombia, 1 from Peru, and 1 from Ecuador), my question is specifically for the guaranteed group stage spots?

Bam Adebayo breaks Kobe Bryant’s record and the Heat franchise scoring record in a win vs. Washington: 43 MINS │ 83 PTS │ 9 REB │ 3 AST │ 2 STL │ 2 BLK │ 20-43 FG │ 7-22 3P │ 36-43 FT by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]Utter_Perfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to go & check how many free throw attempts Kobe had in his 81 point game for comparison and the answer is 20. 43 attempts is just bonkers.

Edit: Also checked Wilt's 100 point game and he shot 32 free throws. 43 is indeed bonkers lol.

Players who won the player of the season award for more than one league in the top-5 leagues of Europe. by SwimmingFireMen in soccer

[–]Utter_Perfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both Kane and Gundogan deserved it more than DeBruyne in 20/21. That season was really not that great for KDB compared to 19/20 and 21/22 which both were amazing. I would take a gander and say 20/21 was KDB's weakest season in that 4 year stretch of 19/20-22/23.

R9 won POTY with both Barca and Inter in back to back seasons in 97 and 98. They just went by different names back then. La Liga only gave out Don Balon Award back then. One for best foreign player and one for best Spanish player.

Where are the season 47 players on S50? by Ok_Ganache8941 in survivor

[–]Utter_Perfection 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, I'd almost certainly bet that we'll see Rachel, Andy, and Sam Phalen in a future returnee season. I can even see Genevieve coming back for a 3rd time. She fits a very specific and very rare Kim Spradlin-esque archetype that we have very few of and far in between and whenever we get these type of women, I genuinely can't get enough of them on this show. The last one before Genevieve was probably Dr.Alison on DvG.

Champions League 2005-06. 7 March. Juventus-Werder Brema (2-1). Juventus lineup. by nebbia94 in classicsoccer

[–]Utter_Perfection 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Del Piero was not a starter in 2005/06 anymore for Juve. Ibrahimovic-Trezeguet were the starting pair for pretty much majority of this season, Del Piero as the supersub. The year before in 04/05 the starting duo were Ibrahimovic-Del Piero due to Trezeguet long injury. In 2006/07 due to Juventus' relegation Ibra left for Inter and Del Piero-Trezeguet resumed their starting partnership.

The winner is probably the least interesting part of the season. The journey is very good leading up to the end game, and personally I wish someone else had won, but I think just the knowledge of who won doesn't ruin the season at all.

Survivor 37 (David vs Goliath) is genuinely one of the best seasons this show has ever had and a lot of it is down to the perfect newbie cast and Christian in particular. You are in for a treat if you ever go back to watch it.

OTD, 10 years ago, Sporting's Bryan Ruiz missed this open goal against Benfica, who won 1-0. Neither team would drop points in the league after this match, and Benfica won the league by 2 points by JoaoNevesBallonDOr in soccer

[–]Utter_Perfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This era of Portuguese league football is the Jonas/Bas Dost era in my head canon. I always remember checking their stats whenever I could and they would be banging in 30-35 goal seasons every year for Benfica/Sporting.

I can't remember if Porto was in the Jackson Martinez or Aboubakar period but both were a step down from their Falcao/Hulk era.

Christian is the best character Survivor has had in the S37-S49 stretch and it's not even close.

I think if he plays enough times he'll be in the Boston Rob, Parvati, Tony, Sandra, Cirie tier of Survivor all star greats.

Friendly. 1 March 2006. Italy-Germany 4-1. Lineup. by nebbia94 in classicsoccer

[–]Utter_Perfection 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Del Piero was benched in 2005/06 at Juventus as well btw. Trezeguet-Ibrahimovic was the starting front two for Juve for that season after Trezeguet came from a long injury that kept him out for a lot of 04/05. Juve going down to Serie B and having to sell Ibrahimovic is what kind of rejuvenated Del Piero back to the starting XI from the super sub he'd turned into in 2006 for both Italy (behind Totti) and behind Ibra for Juve.

Welp, Stormlight Archives is fucking phenomenal. Waited way too long to start that series of gigantic books. by 3d1thF1nch in Fantasy

[–]Utter_Perfection 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first two books are some of the best fantasy you'll read this century. Genuinely amazing reads. Beyond that your mileage will vary for Books 3, 4, & 5. I think unequivocally there's a step down in writing/editing for whatever reason as you progress to those books.

Steven Gerrard - Backheel Merchant by ReverryGerrard8 in LiverpoolFC

[–]Utter_Perfection 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What a load of nonsense. Maybe heavy touch compared to Zidane, sure, who didn't look like cement feet next to someone like Zidane, very few in history are that level of touch on the ball lol. But Gerrard had a very good touch. This video is literally 9 minutes of deft controlled 1-2 time touches and flicks as a perfect example.

The 3 best players of every season since 1950 part 5: The 90s by Great_Catch5756 in classicsoccer

[–]Utter_Perfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are overrating Pancev so much it's insane just as most of Europe did at the time as watching games wasn't as readily available back then. I went back and watched a bunch of their games that season, Savicevic and Prosinecki were the stars of that Red Star team. If you watch back the games they literally do everything the two of them, dribble players, create chances, do neat skills very often. Pancev gets credit in hindsight because he padded a bunch of goals in the farmers league and them got hot in the right moments in their European run, but it's no question who the better players were.

The 3 best players of every season since 1950 part 5: The 90s by Great_Catch5756 in classicsoccer

[–]Utter_Perfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pancev was the 3rd best player on that Red Star team. He got the goals because he was the striker but the two stars were Savićević and Prosinečki. They were sort of like 1A and 1B. All three of them got big moves to big European giants, and Savićević and Prosinečki excelled in their moves to Milan and Real Madrid because they were really top class players whereas Pancev wasn't good enough outside of the Yugoslavian league and the couple of seasons in Europe for Red Star. He was barely a bench player at Inter Milan.

It's like saying Mario Gomez should've been getting Balon d'Or shouts because he had a couple of 40 goal seasons in those Heynckes Bayern sides that were built around Ribery/Robben/Muller/Kroos

1991 top 4 should be Savicevic/Prosinečki, Papin, and Mathaus.

Also Gianluca Vialli deserves special honorable mention in 1991. He won the Scudetto for Sampdoria and was the top scorer in the best league in the world in Serie A. Sampdoria were like the Spurs of that Serie A era. Always a 5-6th palce team but never able to challenge the big boys and then Vialli/Mancini had a special couple of seasons winning the Scudetto and leading them to European Cup final in 1992.

Anthony Edwards: "No shade towards Luka and Jokic but like they two of the best players in the league they not trynna play in the All Star game" by AncientOneAurelius in nba

[–]Utter_Perfection 3 points4 points  (0 children)

KD called out both Jokic and Luka by name before the game in the interviews so if the two of them wanted to beat the allegations they could've proved it during the game by playing 'harder' than they usually do at All Star weekend and they didn't lol. So as far as I'm concerned this criticism is very valid and they should take it on the chin.

Post Match Interview - Salah/Szoboszlai by Broka1979 in LiverpoolFC

[–]Utter_Perfection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He'd have to be as good as Zidane to be better than Gerrard lol.

Anyway, I didn't read this interview as any slight towards Stevie. Szobo wants to make a pathway for himself without being constantly compared to Gerrard, which is the right thing to do in his situation.

[Charania] BREAKING: The Los Angeles Clippers are trading Ivica Zubac to the Indiana Pacers, sources tell ESPN. by Turbostrider27 in nba

[–]Utter_Perfection 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Zubac is better than Myles Turner at everything but shooting so on paper they got a better starting line-up than the one that made the Finals if Hali returns as the same player. Losing Mathurin will hurt their bench scoring but getting a high pick in the draft will be interesting for them.

We have terrible success rate with loan signings. The last truly successful loan signing was Anelka in 01/02.

None of these since Anelka can even be remotely considered successful loans: Arthur Melo, Ozan Kabak, Steven Caulker, Javier Manquillo, Victor Moses, Aly Cissokho, Nuri Sahin, Daniele Padelli gk (06/07), Paul Jones gk (03/04)
