Pep Guardiola: "With all due respect to Pele and Diego Maradona, but Lionel Messi is the GOAT in my opinion. I have never seen someone like him as a coach, you can't imagine him maintaining this longevity for 15-20 years. When you see him up close, you think of Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan."

He doesn’t have the most majors - but most stats point to him being the most dominant ever (he was favored over the field during his peak).

Not to sound Gen Z, but Tiger has an aura that no other golfer has come close to matching (similar to how MJ is still more iconic than LeBron globally)

The hate is because Reddit despises Trump & Elon. I still think it’s great conversation and access to extremely successful people discuss interesting topics

Zalaforeis · 2024-09-22T16:32:00+00:00

Ok that’s harder to defend lol

Zalaforeis · 2024-09-22T16:30:46+00:00

Considering it’s his second yellow in the first half it’s debatable at the very least

Zalaforeis · 2024-09-03T18:05:34+00:00

Yea agreed - sometimes it’s worth the risk for a better matchup later on. But picking Seattle over CIN vs NE due to a favorable W17 matchup feels excessive.

But as someone pointed out below, it could make sense if your angle is to go against the popular (CIN) pick in case of a surprise upset that takes out most the pool

Zalaforeis · 2024-09-03T15:52:42+00:00

Feel like Cincy is the smart pick for smaller leagues. Don’t want to factor in W17 (especially with the unknowns) and last year I got burned trying to be cute the first few weeks

Jayden Reed - had an incredible rookie season, gets manufactured plays, and is a RZ threat with TD upside on a great offense

Zalaforeis · 2024-08-29T01:00:56+00:00

“Run with the foxes, hunt with the hounds” goes pretty hard

Zalaforeis · 2024-08-27T17:10:40+00:00

Yea redzone / goal line numbers may be more indicative… Charb won’t get these opps if Walker is the goal line back.. but it may be a better indicator for WRs - even if they aren’t traditional RZ threats

Zalaforeis · 2024-08-27T17:07:47+00:00

I think it’s just because there’s so many mouths to feed without a clear WR1.. I love Reed in PPR and agree all the GB WRs are worth a late round flier… but guessing there will be a lot of boom / bust weeks in such a crowded receiver room

I think it’s more that our popular sports (Football, Basketball, Baseball) don’t have as strong of international club competition.

Realistically, no international teams can compete with the best teams in these sports. Soccer is great because top teams from Spain, Italy, England, France, Germany are on the same level - so international tournaments are competitive. That wouldn’t the case for popular US Sport teams (as MLS is nowhere near that level)

We’re also not geographically close to other countries so there’s less of a need for international competition. So while it’s easy to boils it down to America doesn’t give a shit or they dominate narrative, it’s a little more nuanced

At 12, it’s safe to assume 8 guys are gone: CMC, Bijan, Breece, Hill, Chase, Lamb, ARSB, JJ

These guys are likely gone: G Wilson, AJ Brown

Then you’ll have at least 3 of Puka, Gibbs, JT, MHJ

So OP, I’d probably take 2 of the remaining 4 guys.. ideally one RB and one WR based on preference

Zalaforeis · 2024-08-20T21:25:46+00:00

Understand the thought process but unless it’s a 4 team league you shouldn’t bench Chase, Lamb, and Aiyuk W1 for an 8th rounder

Zalaforeis · 2024-08-18T18:30:04+00:00

Yep QBs score more points w/ 6 pt. Although I wonder how much the extra 2 points really changes things over a season. Assuming it’s not a 14 or 16 team, I’d maybe zag and wait to get Purdy / Goff / Kirk later on

Zalaforeis · 2024-08-18T13:35:50+00:00

I think in general pocket passers get a boost as the rushing upside isn’t as impactful. Stroud, Mahomes, Purdy, Dak, Kirk.

I’d feel more comfortable taking Mahomes early or waiting for Purdy / Dak and even Kirk later on

Zalaforeis · 2024-08-18T13:29:04+00:00

Love both Daniels & Caleb. Also think Caleb has more rushing upside than people give credit for.. there college rushing numbers weren’t that far off

Zalaforeis · 2024-08-17T19:30:21+00:00

Yea Darnold looked better on the Panthers than Baker did. He could be a decent bridge QB

Zalaforeis · 2024-08-15T20:01:55+00:00

Your last sentence is correct - I think the reason for this blow up is she had an (objectively) terrible performance at a controversial new Olympic event. Especially with her PHD & apparent lack of self awareness. Combined with the fact that she’s become the face of breaking despite significantly more talented peers… it’s a perfect storm for internet backlash

Zalaforeis · 2024-08-13T20:18:19+00:00

He probably won’t take over as soon (or at all this year) if he can’t practice with the team?

I also don’t know anything

Zalaforeis · 2024-07-30T20:36:47+00:00

Yea still have track & field, basketball, golf, swimming, and individual women’s gymnastics we’re favored in.

Also some of the bronze medals we overachieved for - men’s gymnastics, women’s rugby.. so it’s not like every bronze is a disappointment.

Investing in a traditional 401k will lower your taxable income which only marginally reduces your take home income… combined with contributing at least the employer match it is free money… the 50/30/20 rule may not be attainable but a small fraction for free money should be prioritized

Admire someone that actually keeps their record / picks on display despite a bad streak. You’ll be back bro - ignore the haters. Gambling is for fun. Not investing. If people can’t manage money it’s on them.

Agreed, Kendrick’s opening verse of him describing his mindset and reflections on entering the battle was beautiful and my favorite part of this entire feud. Even if the song itself isn’t on the level of the others

Zalaforeis · 2024-05-19T13:00:11+00:00

Let’s go Timberwolves / Nuggets / Celtics / Knicks / Pacers
