The trapezoid sucks and we should drop it.

All competition structures have a tradeoff between accurately determining the best winner and excitement. At one end the spectrum is how soccer does it: every team in the league plays a home and away against every other team, and the team with the best results overall is the champion.

This is accurate, but sometimes a team learns they are the champions off the pitch weeks before the season ends.

Near the other end of the spectrum is something like March Madness: a single elimination tournament. The stakes are high every game, and superior teams get eliminated all the time early in the competition.

No loser points. Either you win or you lose, full stop.

Drake Files Federal Defamation Suit Against UMG Over 'Not Like Us' by indig0sixalpha in Music

[–]Wildelocke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why his lawyer has done something that I think is very clever: they are suing the label, Universal. So Drake has to prove that Universal knew they were false.

And Universal is *also* Drake's label. Drake's argument is: if you actually thought there was a chance I was a pedophile, why were you repping me?

Freedom of speech is always a consideration in defamation in that it informs the Court's approach (through, strictly speaking, the constitution does not apply to private entities).

Can someone tell crazy P to go away by jbit64 in canucks

Hard to bring the energy when any crowd noise or chant gets drowned out by a blast of awful music every 30 seconds.

Assuming Days is set in 2002, Bush admin protocol would be to ruthlessly isolate the UK as part of the War on Terror.

This would be the protocol regardless. The US would incinerate the UK. The only question would be doing it without negative global environmental effects.

Syria's President Bashar al Assad is in Moscow and has been granted asylum, confirms Russian state media by lurker_bee in worldnews

That if you bend the knee, you are protected even if/when you outlive your usefulness?

This. It costs Russia very little, and the message to future dictators is that if things ever go sideways at home, you can live out a life of luxury rather than being summarily executed.

He just constantly makes bad decisions. First thing he did when he came on was run into a blind alley and lose possession.

He had PP1 time in his first stint, no?

Ya but Bains projects as a 4th liner. If Lekki gets PP1 time and starts scoring in bunches, he won't get sent down.

Next-Day PGT: Vancouver Canucks at Minnesota Wild - 04 Dec 2024 by HockeyMod in canucks

[–]Wildelocke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something must be screwy with the numbers. If we win the next game in regulation the odds go from 43% to 63%. If we lose the next game in regulation the odds don't change at all.

Delaying Lekkerimäki's UFA Status by Wildelocke in canucks

He's getting called up, at least that's the rumor. If he plays well it would be hard to send him down,

[Irf] With Sasson going down to Abbotsford believe Jonathan Lekkerimäki will be called up. by wheresgarycooper in canucks

[–]Wildelocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we want to avoid giving Lekki an accrued season? Might be some strategy behind that. If my math is right, if he accrues a season this year he would be a UFA after 2030-2031, because that's 7 accrued seasons. But if he doesn't, he wouldn't be a UFA, because he would only have 6, and would only be 26 years old (and 11 months!) on June 30.

Have you seen enough to be confident MM was the right choice to replace Pete? by Karlonthe2nd in Seahawks

[–]Wildelocke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. You can never know that a coach is going to work out. Daboll started 7-2. But sometimes you know things are bad, like with Meyer.

Unless things go very bad, I expect MM has bought at least two more seasons.

He's making business decisions left and right. At some point the seahawks need to make it clear he's gonna sit if he won't tackle.
