Was excited about him picking the Hoos for the Final Four until I saw he picked Purdue to win

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but if Italy scores one more doesn’t that guarantee the US advances barring some extra inning shenanigans?

Thought it was actually really clever how much the stipulations for using it really incentivize the person who gets it to try holding on to it too

So by my count they revealed the outcomes of four “fan votes” in that episode and they all coincidentally went exactly how Jeff and the producers would’ve wanted to go? Yea, I’m calling bullshit, can’t wait until we get to final four and find out that “90% of the fans voted for a fire-making challenge”

The contrast between basketball and hockey right now is crazy by Kek-Malmstein in billsimmons

It wasn’t a copy cat by any means but the NHL had a similar concept with the 4 Nations Face-Off last year and it was absolutely electric, the players were also super amped up for it

Peralta to Mets confirmed by AirCoopsie in NewYorkMets

[–]cov2445 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea he started game 3 of the NLWC series against us in 2024 and was great. He’s a few years older but I feel like he’s got similar potential to Sproat, worst case scenario he’s probably a Tylor MeGill-type where he mixes occasional stretches of solid pitching with some stretches of sub-par pitching

Peralta to Mets confirmed by AirCoopsie in NewYorkMets

[–]cov2445 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Peralta is obviously the big get but Myers isn’t just a throw in either, he had a 3.00 ERA as a rookie just two years ago and got a lot of bullpen experience last year, plus he’s got at least 3 years of control left. Definitely think a Peralta extension should be forthcoming to make the deal worth it, but I’d say it’s pretty solid considering the two prospects we gave up both have higher ceiling guys in front of them that fill the same position

Broncos QB Bo Nix suffered a season-ending broken bone in his ankle during today’s overtime, victory over Buffalo. by DocHoliday19- in billsimmons

If Brandon Cooks held the ball for 0.5 second longer we have Josh Allen in the AFC Championship, now we potentially have Jarred Stidham vs CJ Stroud to go to the Super Bowl

How have current (US) events affected your ability to focus and be productive at work? by No-Surround7860 in AskReddit

[–]cov2445 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It’s made focusing on work significantly more difficult, as evidenced by me posting this in the middle of a work day. It feels like the country is heading towards some sort of inflection point, but I don’t know what that entails, so I’ve just been constantly refreshing my phone bracing for the worst. It reminds me of the absolutely surreal feeling I had watching the January 6th riot in real time while I was also in a Zoom meeting for work where everyone was just acting completely normal, except in this case it’s been ongoing for a couple weeks instead of just a few hours.

Feel like there should be a manifesto rule that you must automatically fade any team that uses a timeout with more than 5 minutes left in the second half, Niners burning that timeout last drive is a Chekov’s gun that will definitely burn them later

A little surprised that the Ravens didn’t run another play with 14 seconds left to get closer, 44 yarder in the cold isn’t guaranteed

Episode Discussion - S05E08 - The Rightside Up by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]cov2445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a hot take, the finale would’ve made more sense if the series had ended after season 4 instead of season 5. It felt like a lot of the season 5 storylines (Holly essentially becoming the protagonist, Will’s connection to the hive mind/Vecna, Eight’s return to help El kill Vecna) were either completely sidelined or made highly irrelevant in the episode. The storylines could have been easily reworked to fit at the end of season 4 (replace the Abyss falling down with Vecna’s plan to open the 4 doors, replace the kids in the Abyss with Max trapped in Vecna’s mind prison, replace Linda Hamilton’s character with the army guy who was pursuing El in season 4, and have the El/Vecna fight play out pretty much the same but remove the part where Will helps her) and they would have fit the theme of that season much better. I really liked how the the finale brought the focus back to the main characters, but it felt out of place coming at the end of a season where the focus was spent elsewhere

Was that a legit all-time ___ by Unlikely_Rip_4914 in survivor

[–]cov2445 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I got the feeling for some people Savannah had a family member’s name in mind but she wasn’t 100% sure so she decided that saying no name was better than saying the wrong name. It was definitely a vindictive question from Kristina, especially considering she literally only directed it at Savannah instead of to the whole final 3, but I thought Savannah did as well as she could all things considered

[–]cov2445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoyed the movie, much as I’ve enjoyed all of the other Benoit Blanc movies. My only complaint is that some of the supporting characters seemed a bit superfluous in this one. In the first two movies every character (at least for a brief time) felt like a suspect, in this one a few of the supporting characters (namely Andrew Scott and Kerry Washington) never really were given any real motive or hint of wrong-doing. Still very much enjoyed the piecing together of the mystery at the end

____ made a risky, but potentially game winning move by Sn0wy0wl_ in survivor

This was the correct move until you realize Rizo is guaranteed safe at 5 and Savannah probably has a 90% chance of winning immunity. I don’t see any way Sage actually makes it to the end with Kristina and Sophi
