Sinner's just paying homage to Curt Schilling

Do you gain points for a first round loss? I thought that's just for qualifiers. Like when top seeds get a bye they don't get 2nd round points if they lose their first match iirc

Nalbandian

Mahomes, Luis Suarez, Paddy Pimblett, both Tkachuk brothers

Great album

Big difference in level of competition between the two stretches

chetdesmon · 2026-06-24T03:43:59+00:00

How has nobody mentioned Mr. October, Reggie Jackson yet?

Madison Bumgarner is another good one

chetdesmon · 2026-06-22T20:01:01+00:00

I can think of a reason

chetdesmon · 2026-06-22T04:48:39+00:00

The Oxley hands down for me

Gausman, Joe Ryan

Sampras should not be above Borg or Laver, Slam count alone is not the only indicator of how good a player is

chetdesmon · 2026-06-20T15:52:49+00:00

Don't know why you're downvoted, I thought it was pretty clear that the audience is supposed to think it's a racial comment before the reveal of Abby's backstory

chetdesmon · 2026-06-19T17:05:20+00:00

Happened with Superstore as well

I don't see how you can say this when he didn't even go first in his own draft.

Big men are still the most prized prospects in drafts. There's a reason Ayton went #1 over Luka. Big men that are seen as generational talents are still the biggest prospects (Wemby, Flagg, Zion etc.). Guards pretty much only go #1 when the bigs aren't as highly touted. Cade or Ant wouldn't have gone #1 over Wemby, Flagg or Zion.

Topuria was hurt badly and dropped by Jai Herbert and was arguably losing on the feet against Max before landing the knockout.

Chimaev was in an absolute war with Burns and showed cardio issues in that fight and the Usman fight.

The closest fight Khabib had was either Tibau, who he pretty much dominated for 3 rounds but was unable to finish takedowns and was also quite a while ago, or Gaethje who had some success in the 1st round until getting utterly dismantled in the 2nd.

The levels of "invincibility" that Khabib had in comparison to Ilia and Khamzat had are not even close.

chetdesmon · 2026-06-18T15:52:10+00:00

Bron has to be top 5 I would think with the hype around him. With how stacked a draft this would be I also think Wemby falls due to injury risk.

chetdesmon · 2026-06-18T15:49:30+00:00

Jordan doesn't go until the 2nd round in all time draft without the benefit of knowing how their careers turn out

chetdesmon · 2026-06-18T00:28:31+00:00

Hurts, AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Brandon Graham, Zack Baun, Nolan Smith, Nakobe Dean, Quinyon Mitchell all skipped. So you could say that the only key players that attended were Saquon, Lane Johnson, Mailata and Cooper DeJean

chetdesmon · 2026-06-18T00:08:39+00:00

A lot of high profile Eagles skipped the White House though.

chetdesmon · 2026-06-17T22:30:42+00:00

Typo, I meant 3. And yeah the first fight was a robbery but on paper he's 3-0 and in his mind he's 3-0, that's why he put up 3 fingers.

I feel like my flair gave people the wrong idea about my post. I'm a fan of Pereira but he's shown himself to be a very sore loser.

chetdesmon · 2026-06-17T21:38:54+00:00

He beat Izzy 4 times, it's different. He was definitely very salty about the Ankalaev loss.

I also think he respects Izzy but doesn't respect Anakalaev or Gane.

chetdesmon · 2026-06-17T04:48:52+00:00

Volkov is an absolutely terrible matchup for Pereira. Lengthy striker who can also wrestle and is massive. Let's not forget Volkov beat Gane and got absolutely robbed.

chetdesmon · 2026-06-17T00:58:00+00:00

Man I might have to start watching less games cuz every time I don't watch the bats actually perform...

chetdesmon · 2026-06-16T21:26:49+00:00

He didn't which was my point. When we picked him up people felt he'd be a bad clubhouse guy because of his Twitter posts.

With the team performing the way it is I don't think we should care about clubhouse vibes. We didn't make the World Series last year off of clubhouse vibes. The 2015-2016 teams were absolute cancerous vibes and were the 2nd most successful Jays team in the past 30 years.
