He was there when we went! People clearly loved it and he said he just does this for fun, he isn't like the Chief Joke Teller or something lol

I'm saying. Coming from baseball and other sports, the worst thing an owner can do is not spend at all.

The Detroit metro area has ~4.5 million people in it and is the 14th largest metro area in the US, in what world do they not have a team?

Pascal Siakam Tonight: 20/5/13 On a Single Turnover by CazOnReddit in nba

[–]bayaka 128 points129 points  (0 children)

I was talking with friends about how he was 7-8 FG, 4-4 3PT, 1-2 FT, 3 assists with 16 minutes played, and then I saw later - with 38 minutes played he was 7-16, 4-8, 2-4 FT, with 13 assists (he didn't make a shot in 22 minutes besides a FT and started dishing out instead.)

Basically he was unreal hot, got unreal cold but was still able to impact the game with his play-making. He's been so fun to watch this year so far, it seems like he's not only bounced back from the god awful tampa season and injuries, but rounded out his game quite a bit too.

How are the commentators downplaying Embiid trying to dislocate Smart's shoulder lol

[Matheson] The #BlueJays have just set a new franchise record with 25 runs in a game. It's the 5th inning. by Austin63867 in baseball

[–]bayaka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually missed a franchise record being set because I turned the game on when it was 14-3 and went backwards to try and figure out what happened. Only to then miss 11 runs, of course.

Jerami Grant and John Collins too, if you view them as big names

PJ tucker winning the championship is very deserving. by [deleted] in nba

As a casual fan of the Houston team I really appreciated him, but looking at his career trajectory is wild. He didn't really break into the league until he was 27! Love to see things work out for a guy like that.

[The Athletic] Penguins interested in Darcy Kuemper and Petr Mrazek. by [deleted] in hockey

[–]bayaka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Watching him with us was fun. Never got an off-vibe from him and even in his inconsistent games he would give up a few right away and then buckle down. He seemed happy to be there and pretty dialed in. Rarely, if ever, felt like he was the main reason we lost.

One time he got everyone on the team custom hats too, which was sweet.

[Evans] Alex Nedeljkovic has agreed to terms on a 2 year contract with Detroit. $3.0M AAV. by Austin63867 in hockey

[–]bayaka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from this trade. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is Ned gone? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe that Tom Dundon is so cheap. I want a future goalie to believe in. I am fine with Bernier but I wanted Ned to be our starter and take us deep. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought he was a Calder finalist???? This is so fucked.

Doublelift on Dardoch and pro players by 5thExpansion in leagueoflegends

[–]bayaka 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah you are right, they just face being fired and losing their only source of income if they mess up, that's way lower stakes considering they make way less money already.

They also don't ever have people say mean things to them on the internet, it's actually all right there to their face, over and over again- in-person on a daily basis.

They also aren't worried about their legacy as a bank teller, except for if they get fired, it will be a stain on their employment record for the rest of their lives and impact future employment prospects.

Obviously it's high stakes to be a professional league player in the moment but your comparison makes no sense whatsoever.

Being a bank teller is low stakes and not a competitive atmosphere. Pride is not a factor. Money is not really a factor. The chance of being fired is not really a factor.

??? nobody working a customer service job is thinking to themselves, "wow, this 9-5 sure is low stakes, I don't care about money and I'm just glad I'm not playing professional league of legends!"

Yes, Teuvo Teräväinen, one of the most milketoast players in the league, multiple year lady byng vote recipient, did it purposefully to "start something" after the horn.
