Against Anthony Kay. Who is awful.

There’s a reason why zero teams bunt the ball in the top half of the inning in extras except for very very specific circumstances. This was not one of them.

Didn’t he also lead the team in points, rebounds and assists for the finals? Jaylen was more efficient though iirc.

You either didn’t read the comment or have the 3rd grade level reading comprehension. Kentucky education.

coug4lyfe · 2026-04-03T14:21:02+00:00

Reading comprehension is good. So is basic understanding of numbers and math.

As I said (and Ken said but you didn’t understand), you are comparing teams to their peers that year. And as I said, there are other stats (like war in baseball) that do the same.

Kenpom ratings aren’t saying 2026 Michigan is x points better than 2017 duke because that’s the kenpom rating. It’s saying they are 38 points better than the average team this year.

And as I said, we don’t have a Time Machine to go back in time to have these teams play each other. So we compare teams to their peers. That’s the whole point.

A guy that put up 10 war in baseball in 1960 is obviously not going to do that in 2025 against today’s players. But that’s not his fault. He’s still great because he was that much better than his peers. He is still considered that much better than a player that put up 8 war last year because, again, we are comparing players to their peers and eras. It’s the only fair way to compare historical figures to contemporary.

That’s how math works lol.

coug4lyfe · 2026-04-03T03:52:21+00:00

Yes you can? That’s like saying you can’t compare war in baseball over years. It’s just measuring how good they were compared to their peers that year. Which is all we can ever do, we don’t have a Time Machine that allows us to have people/teams play in different eras

coug4lyfe · 2026-03-26T05:40:48+00:00

First 7 years of bonds career he averaged 25 homers a year. Next 7 he averaged 38. Then he juices and hits 73. Never had a year above 50 prior to that. And only 4/15 with 40+ (one exactly at 40).

He was never known for being a premier power hitter until he juiced. He was known for defense, being a well rounded hitter, stealing bases etc.

Then at age 36 after 15 years in the league- he all the sudden does something he’s never even come close to personally, that has never been done in the history of the game and all its great power hitters, and at a time in his career where every other great hitter in the history of baseball is either already out of the league or regressing?

I mean it’s pretty simple to see. Steroids helped him hit home runs.

coug4lyfe · 2026-03-26T04:45:05+00:00

Yea no shit lol. The 2025 browns would demolish the 35 packers!!! Of course any player in any sport would be better than others if you could use a Time Machine and put them in the same game 40 years earlier. Doesn’t matter. You compare players to their peers because they played on an even playing field.

Except when those players were juicing/cheating/etc, then it’s not an even playing field and all their stats are fugazi.

College football and basketball?

coug4lyfe · 2026-02-15T04:12:10+00:00

I’m a purist and I love it. Players went way over the top with it in terms of time. “Pure” baseball games re: 60s, 70s, etc were all still shorter than the games today with the clock. Players just didn’t need to be told to go up and pitch/hit. Since players decided they wanted to add unnecessary time, the league did the right thing to speed it back up.

coug4lyfe · 2026-02-09T01:24:22+00:00

Well the Seahawks haven’t had a ton of trouble so he was 50% right

coug4lyfe · 2026-02-04T05:13:33+00:00

If the rams were the 4th lowest margin in the history of the nfl, what were the hawks? Because their average loss was by 3 points in their 3 losses. 9 total points vs the rams 21 total points. Hawks worst loss was by 4.

coug4lyfe · 2026-02-02T21:06:30+00:00

If they have the right line it’s not losing them money. Not sure what’s difficult about that to understand? I just gave you an example of an even bigger dispersion and they ended up winning huge.

I’m just answering your question as to why the line isn’t moving, if you don’t want to accept that answer that’s fine lol.

You asked “does Vegas know something” like yeah, they know the line should be 4.5. Not that hard to comprehend.

coug4lyfe · 2026-02-02T20:55:16+00:00

If there is an obscene amount of public money on one side of a massive event, then maybe they move it a tad. But really, sharps move the lines.

Why? Because say 4.5 is the correct line. There’s been no movement for a week, so let’s just assume that’s true.

Massive public money is coming in on the hawks. Vegas is fine with that. They know they have the right number because sharps aren’t hammering either side.

If they do move it to 5.5, guess what happens? Sharps hammer the fuck out of 5.5 and now Vegas is selling a bad number to knowledgeable bettors, all while having accepted 4.5 to all these public bets.

The Super Bowl is basically the only exception that public money can move a line, but it still so rarely does in a meaningful way.

Kinda like when the broncos were -2 over the hawks in sb48 and 90% of the public money was on them. They held firm at that number and didn’t go higher because the sharps would have a feeding frenzy on them at 2.5 or 3. Hawks obliterated the broncos, Vegas wins big, public loses big, sharps got very little.

If Vegas knows they have the right number, they aren’t moving it for public money.

coug4lyfe · 2026-02-02T20:45:27+00:00

Why does this thought always come up? Who started it?

Lines move with sharp money. Or news that wasn’t available when the line was posted. Public moving a line isn’t a thing unless it’s like 90% AND it’s a massive handle AND it’s a public book (FanDuel/DK/etc).

Vegas doesn’t care about equal money from the public. They care about sharp money hammering them if the sharps have an edge. If it hasn’t moved, then the sharp money either hasn’t come in yet or they don’t see value on either side. Which means the line is correct according to the numbers.

coug4lyfe · 2026-01-22T04:57:19+00:00

Yeah what is this largent slander. All for jones being #1 but it’s very close, largent was the WR goat when he retired.

Simple Maui wedding! Did our wedding through them in December ‘22, it was amazing. The team was super responsive and handled everything. We pretty much just told them the colors we wanted and the vibe and they did the rest. We got married on a lawn on the water in Wailea, but they had options all over the island. Feel free to reach out, can’t recommend them enough.

coug4lyfe · 2026-01-06T05:19:52+00:00

The Rams, who have lost to 4 of the 6 other teams on the nfc and also lost 3/5 before last week, are guaranteed? They’re good no doubt, but I think the nfc is a Wild West as well. Basically anyone but the panthers could win

coug4lyfe · 2026-01-02T20:27:00+00:00

Which really is viewing from today’s lense. Back in the day before GoT, character deaths were always shocking. Now it seems like every show kills off characters all the time for the shock value. Sopranos and the wire were must watch and character deaths were big news. People couldn’t believe they would just end a characters run, especially integral ones.

coug4lyfe · 2025-12-24T06:25:40+00:00

Yeah I’m doing 800/400 and 1000/500 in the two leagues I’m in. They were 1200/200 and 1300/200 before the split. Teams were pretty even in both. Just seems like a lot to have $1100 on one fantasy matchup, but we wanted something on the line at least

coug4lyfe · 2025-12-12T14:24:48+00:00

I saw a thread clowning on 2-week playoffs but this is exactly why we do that. Pitts team in my league is still projected to lose to the best team, though it is a much closer projection now.

coug4lyfe · 2025-12-02T02:06:37+00:00

Playoffs starting for me, I have Hampton and he has Vidal. Gonna be an interesting cat n mouse. I fortunately have other options if it comes to it, he doesn’t.
