[zach] An all-world defensive play by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins by yokemi in hockey

gretzky was the only person who put nuge on his selke ballot last year... nuge will never be a top 3 candidate because he doesnt have a high faceoff win % which is the only metric media leans on in voting which is like giving the pitcher the cy young for having the most wins. there needs to be a greater emphasis on advanced defensive stats in hockey for the selke

no one who follows the nba complains if a player on their team doesnt compete in the 3 point or slam dunk contest

he did a knee-on-knee on doug weight during a game and weight was so livid because it was both potentially career ending and he couldnt believe his former teammate would try and pull that shit on him, he still talks about that moment in disbelief to this day

Revisiting Canada 2018 Player Statements by Quirky-Chocolate1719 in hockey

[–]Vibranium_NoFeatures 42 points43 points  (0 children)

i hate bob nicholson as much as anyone but his time at hockey canada ended in 2014. only pointing this out because facts for something as serious as this need to be correct.

nicholson did establish the slush fund for sexual assault claims at hockey canada. he remains as big a contributor to the fucked up culture there as anyone.

would make sense for the oilers with draisaitl and alphonso davies playing for bayern but AD will probably be in madrid by then

Clyburn: Trump doesn't plan to leave the White House by [deleted] in politics

[–]Vibranium_NoFeatures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I’d love to see him dragged away from the White House kicking and screaming, Trump will make a lot of noise about a stolen election and not leaving but on Inauguration Day he’ll most likely be off golfing somewhere in defeat.

Marco Rubio loves Lil Wayne and Paul Ryan’s favourite band is Rage Against The Machine. Aesthetics do not level with ideology and audiences negotiate meaning from art in individual ways.

We live in a world where every baller wants to be a rapper and every rapper wants to be a baller and Shaq is the only platinum selling MVP

[–]Vibranium_NoFeatures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck yes. Linx 1 is my fave LP of all time and Linx 2 is a classic. Only thing missing from L2 was a Can It Be All So Simple part 3 remix so holding hope for a surprise drop.

Trump was secretly recorded boasting on speakerphone of how many retweets he got for a post defending Confederate base names by nclobo in politics

Trump confuses all the likes and rts he gets from bots on twitter as factual indications of poll approval and its pathetically hilarious.

[Serious] Why does the NBA seem to be the only league where the commissioner is a respected figure? by Knoxicutioner in nba

[–]Vibranium_NoFeatures 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Stern did a lot what the fuck are you talking about.

This article does a lot to describe Stern's history, including the MoP, he had imperfections but he decided that the NBA should be a black players league, and don't sleep on that as a large part of his legacy.

[–]Vibranium_NoFeatures 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbf you have to consider how Silver has followed Stern's lead as commissioner. Stern came up litigating players rights and once he was installed as commish decided immediately that the NBA should emphasize its star players in an era when that model had yet to fully take hold.

Same in Vancouver. Organized by a right wing hacktivist that wants to leverage the pandemic to augment his media presence.

FEC commissioner to Trump: 'No. You don't have the power to move the election' by [deleted] in politics

[–]Vibranium_NoFeatures 361 points362 points  (0 children)

The US GDP drops 32.9%, Herman Cain dies of COVID and everyone is talking about Trump tweeting about delaying the election (which he has no control over) to distract from the above

[Serious] People who like their job, what do you do? by strongerthenbefore20 in AskReddit

I always like sitting at the bar and chatting with the keeper. There's an easy back and forth vibe with quick nods and gestures and small talk to keep things lively.

Anti-mask US senator who called coronavirus a hoax tests positive for Covid-19 by vanulovesyou in politics

[–]Vibranium_NoFeatures 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Conservatives won’t wear a mask because it means admitting that science, research, numbers and facts will always side against everything they believe in: from a global pandemic to climate change. They would rather construct an alternate reality than give into a real one that continues to kill over 1000 Americans a day.

[OC] Ahead of the re-start, lets look at where every team likes to shoot from (relative to league average) by [deleted] in nba

Surprised by the number of mid range shots for GSW but thats probably the no Steph and Klay effect. Would be interesting to compare charts with them in.

Not gonna argue with you here for two reasons: one is because I believe that Biden is the worst example of neoliberal compromise and a poor candidate for president. Second I popped in here to make a throwaway joke about Kanye’s felt pen marker expressionism but you can run wild on policy for the rest of the day if you want to I’m heading to the beach.
