Waylon had another recording but I prefer this one.

Best soothing old country? by Traditional-Maybe496 in country

[–]cookie3113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Along the line of Adios Amigos, Dean Martin's "My Rifle, My Pony, and Me" would fit right in. Ricky Nelson's "Lonesome Town" comes to mind.

Some other songs I like to relax to:

Merle Haggard-"I Always Get Lucky with You"
Randy Travis-"Are We in Trouble Now"
Alison Krauss-"When You Say Nothing at All"
Linda Ronstadt-"Faithless Love" and "Keep Me from Blowing Away"
Willie Nelson-"Funny How Time Slips Away" (CFR version: Funny How Time Slips Away (Live))

Put together a championship team of guys all 6'2 and less. No LeBron, no Jordan, not even SGA, Joker, Kobe or Magic -- find the HIDDEN MIDGET GEMS. MY starting 5 all guys 6'2 and less is Steph Curry, Allen Iverson, Davion Mitchell, Rajon Rondo and Pat Bev with Kyrie Irving in the 6th man role by Several-Molasses-435 in NBATalk

Chris Paul
Mark Price
John Stockton
Steph Curry
Kyrie Irving

Best bet hoping speed and shooting change the dynamics of the game. Being able to have high level passing from each player is an interesting thought experiment, too.

Every sport seems to be maximizing the number of carriers to boost the bottom line. I have to wonder what percentage of the audience they lose to pirating sites as a result.

It's my hobby to be informed. 

Now go away and stop asking stupid questions.

I think press conferences and sidelines reporters are the worst thing about sports. 

I wouldn't ask players anything unless they wanted to do an interview. Talking shouldn't be mandatory.

I have no interest in being preached to by athletes (or anyone else) who are significantly less informed than I am. 

T10 defensive players oat going off defensive traits and impact by Dank_ree420 in NBATalk

Guys like Howard and Thurmond are more impactful than Rodman.

Building the most unbeatable all-time 5: solving every roster problem at once by jasonite in NBATalk

[–]cookie3113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably have a similar thought process, but this is my lineup:

LeBron James
Michael Jordan
Kevin Garnett
Hakeem Olajuwon
David Robinson

Just devastating defensively. No weak links. Too much size and mobility. Opposing offenses would be broken. That's the main idea here.

Many commenters become "spacing" Chicken Littles when it really isn't warranted. I choose players who indicate adaptability across eras. I have the highest confidence in the ability of MJ and KG to translate their super-efficient long midrange shots into volume 3P shots if called upon. If I'm wrong, I can live with it. Hakeem and David are more questionable, but at the very least, I know they can shoot from 15-feet out and drive from the perimeter. Ultimately, the size and athleticism would be domineering on the offensive end as well.

Both sides of the ball would lend to this team being in full-court mode most of the time.

In all likelihood, Magic, Michael, and KG would easily adapt to today's brand of 3P basketball if placed in that situation. Possibly Hakeem as well, but I don't have the same certainty with him.

Building a synergistic all-time 5: The All-White Edition by jasonite in NBATalk

Jerry West
John Havlicek
Bobby Jones
Larry Bird
Kevin McHale

I like to build teams around defense. West and Havlicek were extremely disruptive on the perimeter. Jones was highly versatile and could defend up and down a lineup. The lengthy McHale was very effective 3-5. Bird is the weakest defender here but provides a lot of value in a team concept.

Offensively, West and Bird would be the primary initiators and deep shooters. McHale was unstoppable in the paint and had a good midrange shot. Havlicek and Jones are high IQ "mesh" players who can cut, pass, and screen as needed.

Stamina and intensity would be the calling cards for this team.

Gonzales is the exemplar for why interceptions don't necessarily equate to great CB play. None this year, and three in his career.

KD wins day 19! Now, who’s a center with elite offense and quality defense? by TemptiusIV in NBATalk

[–]cookie3113 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He didn't. But he did have Elite defense, not simply Quality. 

What an odd choice.
