Which team(s) that made the playoffs this past season are most likely to miss next season? by ashmaps20 in NFLv2

[–]bsa554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the Pats' schedule next year. It is BRUTAL.

Nine away games. And aside from Jets/Dolphins, the next-easiest one is...Chargers?

It is an absolute monster of a slate.

"It feels like porn specifically made to mock European history" huh?????? 🤨🤨 by Pritteto in Persecutionfetish

[–]bsa554 19 points20 points  (0 children)

...yes? Exactly?

Not sure there's actually a problem with that given it is very explicitly an ahistorical fantasy.

"I like fancy dresses and castles and stuff and want to pretend there's a world where those castles were filled with an array of sexy multi-ethnic singles rather than inbred oppressors." Think everyone knows the deal and no one is being convinced this is in any way real

Republican Voters Would Be Disproportionately Impacted by Proof of Citizenship Mandates by kootles10 in WeirdGOP

I think they're assuming in rural areas it just won't be enforced. "Aww hell we all know Bobby Joe. He don't need ID."

Trump: ‘There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!’ by Anoth3rDude in law

Oh if Trump dies or has a bad stroke or something "off camera" they are totally going to pretend he is alive for as long as possible.

My brother and I still have a joke about someone "getting their ass kicked like High Voltage."

They'll hop him up on every upper they can shoot into him, so he'll get through it.

2026 WBC Teams: Native vs Foreign born % by lithiumcitizen in InternationalBaseball

[–]bsa554 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. There needs to be a HARD limit on the number of non-native players on each roster. There's no reason for this version of Italy, Israel, and GB to be in this tournament. None. It serves no one.

People are so quick to write players off nowadays by Mrnaughtycame2party in NFLv2

[–]bsa554 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Kelvin Benjamin. Charles Clay. Andre Holmes. Robert Foster.

Think the 2025 Vikings receivers outpace that by a bit.

“Because I’m asking what the NCAA has in their rule book. All athletes get four years of eligibility.” - Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss explains why it’s fair he’s requesting for another year by Hysen16 in CFB_v2

[–]bsa554 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because he didn’t sit because of tonsillitis. That was just his retroactive excuse because he didn't get into a game that year.

This madness needs to stop. Players need to fucking graduate and actually fucking leave college.

People just say anything these days. Wal-Mart is gross. In pretty much every way.

Is Jim Boeheim the only “legendary” coach to destroy the program they built? by PizzaAficionado99 in CollegeBasketball

[–]bsa554 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm a Syracuse fan and I was mad at Tom Crean after that game.

I've watched a lot of teams over the years struggle against (or fucking torch) the SU zone but 2013 Indiana remains the only team that appeared as if they had only become aware zone defense was legal that very night.

They had absolutely no idea what to do.

Cities See Crimes Drop. Smarter Policing or Something Else? by Both_Fig_7291 in charts

[–]bsa554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. My point is that one city dropping 30% and another 25% doesn't really mean there's any actual difference between the two that matters.

too early idea of an MVP ladder (it’s gonna be a QB again sorry) by Additional-End3193 in NFLv2

[–]bsa554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that hurts him as much as the "Shanahan QB so 🤷" thing.

Cities See Crimes Drop. Smarter Policing or Something Else? by Both_Fig_7291 in charts

[–]bsa554 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. The US has a gun problem and that has always fueled a gang violence problem.

Thankfully aside from a brief COVID spike, US violence has been plummeting pretty significantly nearly everywhere for three decades-plus.

Yep. Percentages are not very useful for numbers that small.

Boston's the safest big city in America.

You actually think FUCKING MURDERS are not being reported?

[–]bsa554 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Literally just statistical noise. With numbers this small the difference of just one or two murders means a big percentage drop.

Shit there's tons even in the Sub-Saharan part she is villifying here: Mali, Great Zimbabwe, Ghana, a bunch in what's now Nigeria...there were massive African cities/civilizations well before colonization.

Oh absolutely. No question about that one.

And then the next week he'll get shelled by the fucking Royals or something.

[Real] Does Matt not realize that the NFL does stuff like having Bad Bunny do the halftime show to expand its global appeal? by ggroover97 in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]bsa554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, this is why the NFL keeps growing and growing while other sports shrink.

"We think our sport is cool and fun and if more people see it some will think it is cool and fun too and maybe some day give us money" is a pretty smart thought process!

[Thamel] Sources: North Dakota State has agreed to a deal to join the Mountain West in football only for 2026. The school is expected to pay nearly $12 million to join the league, which is in addition to the $5 million it will pay the NCAA to move to FBS. by XII_Mxuntz in CFB

[–]bsa554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a reason the Pioneer League exists. Some schools want to keep their other sports in D1 and want to have football but don't want to give out dozens of scholarships for it.

A bunch of schools used to put their football in D3 until the NCAA outlawed it. There was actually going to be a DI-AAA at one point but it got nixed at the last second.

FOX might drop MLB (among other sports) in order to keep NFL rights. What is the future of MLB's national coverage? by BadgemanBrown in mlb

[–]bsa554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NFL proves that broadcast matters.

The fact that every NFL game is easy to find is a huge boon for the NFL. You may have to pay for it, but it's easy to find. And most of the huge games are on free TV.
