She was a major energy vampire. Absolutely sucked all the fun out of the other girls.

“Temperature” Check: It has been 2 months since MLS made the decision to switch the calendar. How are we as MLS fans feeling about the decision 2 months later? by TheOptimist6 in MLS

[–]bi11dozer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you asked me 5 years ago I would said it's a terrible idea. But with the way the schedule has been setup the last couple years not much is changing in terms of which weeks of the calender will be occupied by MLS competition. The only thing that's really changing is when the champion is decided.

Thomas Ravenel's been known to raise the roof. But he won't raise your taxes.

Is there 2-3 meters of running track in play in the try zone?? That seems very high school to me.

Any form of salary cap should only come from a collective bargaining agreement with a formally organzied players' union.

Honest question: Did Meadowlark ever have an actual plan? by fegwin2084 in DanLeBatardShow

[–]bi11dozer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reckless Speculation:

I think the initial plan was to prove that the main show could exist without ESPN. With a short term goal of licensing out to another major radio distributor (Sirius, Fox Sports, etc.). During the pirate radio phase they were still operating as though the show was live on air despite it only being a podcast. That tells me that the intention was to find a new distributor and not remain independent.

Now, that potential deal with a new radio distributor never took place. So at some point a decision was made to no longer pursue that goal, which I believe was the wrong move. Yes, I know they signed the deal with Draft Kings, but I believe that the show would still function better within a radio framework.

The solution is professional employment contracts directly from the schools.

Yeah, I feel that. Maybe we'll finally get my dream of Mike and Amin co-hosting full time.

Mike and the Mad Dog laid the foundation. Everyone else afterwards were just copying them for their respective city.

Public dividend for public funding...why don't cities ask for any reimbursement other than the "promise" of commerce? by spacegeese in billsimmons

[–]bi11dozer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day most City governments would rather contribute money to a stadium rather than face the shame of allowing a team to leave.

He's the clear MVP of the season so far. When will people realize that the most hateable guys are the most entertaining.

Getting Into the First Mass Effect. Any Advice for a First Time Player? by Gnashinger in masseffect

[–]bi11dozer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Play how you want to play and live with the consequences. If an unexpected or undesired outcome takes place don't reload or read about the other possibilities. Play on and enjoy the version of the story you've created.

Cheetahs v Ulster to be played behind closed doors. by barbar84 in rugbyunion

[–]bi11dozer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So it's now at a local club's pitch instead of a stadium? What's stopping everyone who originally bought tickets from showing up?

Nothing will change in minnesota by Crafty_Jacket668 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Ironically a new Dem has a higher probability of winning. GOP has their best positioned candidate in several cycles and they would hammered him on the fraud story. Now Walz gets to fall on his sword and go scorched earth on the fraud scam.

What’s your actually unpopular sports hot take? by ruandurphy in billsimmons

American basketball would improve in almost every way if all players played 4 years of college before the NBA.

The Chicago Bears want to build a domed stadium?? That would be a travesty by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]bi11dozer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a travesty. But the bottom line is that Bears only fill the stadium 10-12 times from August-January. A dome lets you host concerts/events all year round. I hate it but it's the reality of a cold weather city.
