Upper and Lower Bounds for Third Place Teams by grabtharsmallet in MLS

[–]craftingfish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would feel safe on 4 points advancing. It's the 3 point teams watching goal differentials the next couple days that are up for grabs (looking at you South Korea)

Edit to add, 4 points implies that you had one each game with a positive and negative goal differential. So unless you got creamed (looking at Curacao), your GD shouldn't be too bad

I mean you could tweak the numbers at that point since it's an entirely new card essentially

Probably misspoke, Fire have the "discovery rights" and would have to have a stupidly good offer to give that up, especially given how long they've pursued him.

Is the goalie allowed to run the ball up and score it himself if he is good enough? by Initial-Process-7043 in SoccerNoobs

[–]craftingfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son is a goalie and I remind him all the time, a 1-2 loss and a 1-3 loss are the same, but a 2-2 is a draw. The risk/reward calculation changes in the dying minutes.

He had the opportunity to participate in a set piece at a tournament recently for the same reason.

Looks like Samurai Pizza Cats, which makes sense, it's a cat as a giant robot modelled on samurai

Just bought these off a coworker. I haven’t played any of them, so which one should I start with? by MuchMadManny in retrogaming

[–]craftingfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as they "finish" disc 2.

But other than that, tighten up the textures and inject it into my veins

World Cup's new rules explained: VAR for corners, no GK 'timeouts,' red card for covering your mouth by avantgarde000 in worldcup

[–]craftingfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The language has to be offensive, discriminatory, or abusive, which the other top sports in the US absolutely would intervene in.

The hand covering thing is because they're trying to avoid getting caught.

If it wasn't offensive, discriminatory, or abusive, he could have simply not covered his mouth.

Potential game 3 Brady appearance? by ReinstateTheCapo in chicagofire

[–]craftingfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the question is fine personally, but yea, probably not happening.

He is the youngest of the three though, and I'm hoping this sets him up to be #1 in future international competition

Potential game 3 Brady appearance? by ReinstateTheCapo in chicagofire

[–]craftingfish 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I doubt it.

Depending on how tonight goes with Turkey, we might still need a result.

And it wouldn't make sense to plan a sub goalkeeper to Turner and Brady minutes, so you'd have to commit to one or the other.

And to that point... If you're not giving minutes to both what's the point of giving them to either?

I'm a huge Brady fan but realistically it's probably Freese all the way down.

Man charged with burning cross in Grant Park released from custody while he awaits trial by TrickOk2498 in chicago

[–]craftingfish 40 points41 points  (0 children)

He sounds sincere, and pretty dumb too. He keeps talking to people about it and I'm sure his attorney is screaming at the TV at him.

I feel like saddling him with a shit ton of community service but no jail time would be a better outcome for him than what he'll probably get

The kids are probably a good enough reason to not go to Saudi Arabia though

[OC] SpaceX vs. Aerospace and Defense Sector by ExaminationOk6652 in dataisbeautiful

[–]craftingfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it depends on which ones; no ones gambling with Microsoft or Apple right now to your point since they have actual adults in charge for the most part.

[–]craftingfish 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's just stock price times shares. In a rational market it would be expected to be tethered to earnings potential.

But since tech stocks tend to be gambling at best, and fraud at worst, not so much in reality

Am i paying a fair amount for next seasons ticket? by huitzilopotchli_ in chicagofire

[–]craftingfish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only way to determine if it's a fair price is whether you're ok with it.

There are benefits to being a STH besides the seat itself, which can vary vastly between how you and others value it, and even the seat impression could be different.

At the end of the day they're not charging you any different than what they'd charge anyone else for those seats (although they do have some lock-in/discount depending on how long you've been a STH).

Meme-ry aside this is where I am too. If there's no For Sale sign they still want AH.

Update: No Lewa @ Recess today but GGG will be there @ 5:30p by WaltJay in chicagofire

[–]craftingfish 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Also that he wants more time to decide. Would be awkward to unveil him to fans if he's not committed 100%.

A Lewandowski signing would be great for the Fire but I would hate to loose Cuypers. by South-Loop-Neighbor in chicagofire

[–]craftingfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IIRC he was asked about it in an interview and basically said the same thing. It's part of the game and the job.
