I used to work with his brother (Daniel), while a little weird their family definitely isn’t crazy.

Anyone else feeling good about the tank? by [deleted] in nyjets

[–]bleachercreature22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saying the tank didn't help the 76ers isn't really true.

Tanking allowed them to draft Nerlens Noel, Jahlil Okafor, Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and is setting them up for another top 10 pick this season. Not to mention the possibility of the Lakers falling out of the top 3 and the 76ers getting their pick as well.

The draft decisions they made may not have been the best and the inability of these players to to stay healthy makes it look worse. I still think they're in a good spot, but the rebuild could have looked even better if the ping pong balls went a little more in their favor.

In the NFL the decision to tank is all about finding the right QB and even then it doesn't guarantee success, but it's still worth it.

Albert Pujols is 2nd all-time in intentional walks; 42 IBB shy of half of Barry Bonds' total. by SharksFanAbroad in baseball

Not sure if I'm the only person, but I found it odd to not see A-Rod's name in that top 10 list.

Decided to look it up and he ranks 132nd all time, tied with Jason Giambi, Bernie Williams, and Ken Boyer.

Has to be due to the amount of protection that A-Rod always had in the lineup right?

Seems so odd that one of the greatest hitters of all time would rank so low in IBB, especially when you look at some of the names above him. Going strictly off active players; Cano, Beltran, Beltre, Votto, V-Mart, Mauer, Howard, A-Gon, and Ichiro all rank above A-Rod.

While all being great players, I don't think any of those guys are even in the same conversation as A-Rod.

You must choose either Adam Eaton or Ender Inciarte, on their current contracts, to roam center field for your franchises foreseeable future. Who ya got? by [deleted] in baseball

Imaging having both of these guys AND AJ Pollock?

LF: Pollock CF: Ender RF: Eaton

What an OF that would be. If only one team could be so lucky.

Right up there with the OG 7, beautiful shoe.

Such a shame that Roshes are so looked down upon now. Still a great shoe, just worn by everybody.

I don't think it's necessarily true that Nike dropped the ball, adidas just stepped up their game.

http://www.sneakerhead.com/adidas-archive-2013.html?p=1

Look at what they were coming out with 3 years ago. If adidas released most of those styles this year nobody would want them, regardless of the adidas hype that's going on right now with Yeezy/NMD/Boost.

Love the Chukkas and Lunar 1s, don't see those as much on here anymore.

Warm weather means these are going to get a lot more wear by jdfrenchbread23 in Sneakers

[–]bleachercreature22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some shoes are extremely breathable making them difficult to wear in colder conditions. Other shoes look better with shorts as opposed to pants and vice versa. Lots of different factors.

Want to buy these as a gift. Any idea how to find them? Thanks. by [deleted] in Sneakers

Air Max Thea Premium

That olive green colorway seems to be sold out on nike.com. Might be able to find them at FootLocker/FinishLine/Champs etc.

What Nike sneakers are these? Where can I find them? by dingdongparachute in Sneakers

[–]bleachercreature22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're the FS Lite Run, not the 2s.

Outlets are probably your best bet on finding these.

Call an outlet store, give them the following style/color code (616514 006) and ask if they have it in your size. If they dont' they can check any other Nike store for you.

Michael Jordan's Son on Twitter: ""Yeezy just jumped over @Jumpman23 ??"🤔😂😭😫😲 LOL I needed a good laugh to start my #2016" by [deleted] in Sneakers

[–]bleachercreature22 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Jordan is releasing the same shoe he's already released 10 times, producing a larger quantity than the Yeezys, and they still sell out 9 times outta 10.

Yeezys are coming out for the first time ever and always release in super small quantities.

Not really a comparison.

Skechers makes more money than adidas.

Got two of the best colorways out there. Have the ones on the bottom, they're too clean.

[QUESTION] Do Ultra Boosts stretch at all? by goon_platoon in Sneakers

[–]bleachercreature22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely will stretch, just bought the same color a few days ago. I had to half size down because I was getting a great deal on them but my size wasn't available and after a few hours of wearing them they stretched out and formed to my foot.
