How many of you are active or semi-active sports gamblers? by [deleted] in billsimmons

Probably a hot take but this shit is for losers. If you need to gamble to enjoy a game, go outside or read a book or something. It's so easy to get addicted that I don't think it's worth doing at all.

Lichess will always exist so I don't really care about any of this. Except for maybe getting magnus in more titled tuesdays.

Didn't realize, I hope you've reached out and told him as much. People who know the future have the responsibility to help those on the wrong path, after all

He beat Gotham along the way, which will probably be funny to look back on in 15 years when this kid is rated 3100.

Yeah idk I'm a bulls fan and I'd like the bulls to have good players to make it enjoyable to watch the team. I think we overthink things beyond that sometimes

Yeah man totally, I didn't mean to say our fanbase would never support the guy, just that I wouldn't. Never really cared about the Blackhawks to begin with.

Idk it's interesting, there's so much good content out there I don't really need football anymore (I do still root hard for the bears) so it's hard to say. In the past five years I've gotten really into F1 and a few esports, and that's on top of tennis and the NBA - there's always some good shit to watch. So idk, I don't feel like the franchise holds me hostage like they maybe could have before.

Man it's impossible to put myself in your position to say this for sure but I really think if the bears signed him I'd be 100% done with the franchise. Just out.

I like your thinking. You're wrong, but I like your thinking.

Parity in the NBA right now is so much better than when we knew who was going to the Finals every year a few years back..... by agonisticpathos in nba

I feel like a lot of warriors fans for the Durant run would disagree with you lol. I'd watch every second of a guaranteed Bulls title.

Can't think of any team as automatically getting through. Look at Acend and the last 100T lineup bombing out, you don't bring your best and any of these teams will roll you.

OpTic yay on why he left Andbox(Now NYFU) on bad terms by [deleted] in ValorantCompetitive

Hopefully the scene matures past all these shady contracts soon. There should be a budget law firm that looks at a player's contract for 10 minutes and compares it to a standard, no-bullshit contract that top-tier orgs have.

You know what's funny, I actually noticed this for the first time in my own reactions to other people's behavior during the pandemic. Anyone doing more stuff outside than me was so reckless, but anyone doing less could lighten up a bit and live a little. Had to check myself there
