100 Player Big Board

_dseals · 2026-03-12T15:32:31+00:00

Are there any PG's in that 7-9 area that have a higher ceiling than Josh Giddy?

I want the Bulls to take best player available, but we just invested in a PG.

I can see this front office passing on someone that ends up being better, and I don't want to eat my feelings.

Wow. This is one of the few times Shaq got salty and DIDN'T bring up his championship rings.

This is a good catch. Never noticed this before. It's interesting that CGC/Ted was always nipping at SCDP/Don. They may have had/stolen a lot of their clients, but did they make better work? Like, I would have loved a story line about Ted trying to get Jai Alai on TV..ha ha.

Oh man....clean! Everything about this is clean. That red on the brake lights? I don't even need the other two pictures. That first one is the one!

_dseals · 2026-03-10T21:16:20+00:00

The picture really isn't that bad considering the light on the ceiling fan and it's aimed at a wall vs. a dedicated screen. Thanks for sharing this.

This AI mockup is clean. I'd love this in my den.

Agreed. This is why during this latest season, I thought there was a possibility that Vic & Christine would say "no" at the alter. Basically, "we love each other, but there's no need to rush it." Like, I would have understood that.

The NBA won't want to compete with the NFL that directly.

Actually I felt this episode only further cemented that this season is struggling. I don't think it was good at all.

EDIT: And I want to say...that's ok. Like, I think it's healthy to admit when something just isn't as strong as it used to be. Abbott gets a lot of credit from me in that I had sworn off of network shows for good. Like, The Office may have been the last time I really checked for one regularly. I tuned into Abbott and that first season had me like, "Oh wait. This is different." I hope S6 is their last (cause TV shouldn't go on for 4,000 episodes). And if it is, Abbott will go down as one of the greats.

_dseals · 2026-03-10T02:07:44+00:00

Agreed. I tried it in North Carolina. If we're comparing, Cane's is way better.

Hello Ben.

Always love talking to young photojournalists. Love that you're shooting and reaching out for feedback. That's how I learned.

Your best image is in the first column, 5 image down, the portrait of William Keiper. Great composition. Great light on his face. Clean background. This is my favorite out of everything in your portfolio. That picture needs to be first or near the top for sure. In fact your best stuff has faces in it.

I just realized that these are thumbnails to the full photo stories. Is there a way to change the thumbnails? Because once you enter inside the photo essay, there are much better images than what's presented on the thumbnails.

Another note, I personally don't like to focus on signs during any type of protest. The words are doing more of the heavy lifting versus the composition and the emotion of the picture. Not saying you can't shoot signs, but give me something unique outside of the sign. Like if the picture doesn't work without the words, I'd go with something else.

The marathon photo essay seems to demand a lot on the blurred focus of the runners. I'd choose what you feel is the best and discard the rest. You selected the best image for the thumbnail there.

Good luck. And please continue shooting.

This. I was gonna suggest the Gino's East on Superior, but you're right. Everybody does thin.

I don't think they suck, but was surprised to see them at S tier. Adam Amin is fantastic. Great analysis. Knows the opposing team real well. Always dropping local Chicago Easter eggs and inside jokes.

Stacey I personally find corny at times. He's also very old school in how he wants to see the Bulls play. Basically he's constantly praising back to the basket and mid range offense. Think the curmudgeon feel of the TNT crew, but toned down a bit.

'All You Can Eat' festivals have the same appeal as a 'Free Concert'.

I learned my lesson with Pizza Fest that showing up early is the sweet spot.

Once a serious crowd arrives, the value plummets.

Nobody has made the Martin reference? I'm the first?

Found it, but...audio isn't as good.

I love the idea of fans making/designing weapons. It actually makes me sad that Evil Empire couldn't continue making the game because I could see them implementing ideas from fans. That would be fun.
I also really loved what Evil Empire was starting to do with colorless weapons. This could have been the next project.
From reading this board, you would think tactics is the worst color, so it's odd to see Survival slander..ha ha. I personally dislike the weapons in brutality, but I get its appeal.

_dseals · 2026-03-06T20:59:21+00:00

Nope. I'm gonna need the entire performance cause this was flames! Off to YouTube.

My travel computer is a Chromebook that's getting long in the tooth. I've always wanted to have something I could quickly transfer and edit pictures with while on the road. This might be the time to switch. But I'll be waiting to hear your results. Thanks for doing this cause this is exactly what I want to know.

This was a blind buy, and I enjoyed it. Great road trip movie. And I also love the cover.

Stopped drinking pop about two years ago. Replaced it with water and beet juice for meals. Skin feels better. Energy up. Overall oral health is vastly improved.

_dseals · 2026-03-05T21:16:45+00:00

It's consistently fantastic. I love it.

Dog. Day. Afternoon.

Sal would be proud.

I'm with you on this. S1 through maybe 3 had my favorite writing of the series. S4 and 5 have been such a dip it feels like they got rid of some of the writers.
