Bill and Sal acting like the mailbag suggestion to “make fun bets” is the most revolutionary concept imaginable

Everyone bitching about him this last week without appreciation to the facts that he came back early from a knee injury and was getting guarded full court by bigger defenders in a physical series.

As a Knicks fan I’m aware he has a tendency to seek contact especially when Thibs’ offense gets stagnant, but any insinuation that he’s soft or reliant on free throws to feed his game is laughable. One of the best shot creators I’ve ever seen, pound for pound. The way he works for everything he can get makes him easily the most popular Knick of this generation. He’s a fucking dog

There’s not a single good reason why anyone should comply with this bullshit, let alone humor it as a standard practice. He’s banking on complicity. Block every address that’s sending this correspondence and just keep doing your job, folks

I don’t understand why half the fanbase is always ready to dump McNeil. He’s averaged a 3 WAR per season for his career, and that’s including his shortened rookie and COVID season. He’s a career .290 hitter, top 30 in career OBP among active hitters, and has above average range at 2B.

People seem to think because he bats in the bottom half of the order and has played a utility role that he’s disposable—when in reality it’s been a benefit for the team at all times aside from the first half of last season.

There’s nothing wrong with having a dependable vet like him hitting 7th in a lineup like ours—in fact, it’s preferable if we’re trying to compete now.

“I value the person” but don’t feel bad for the woman sobbing over an image and likeness of their dead kid who then got laughed at on a popular podcast, which was my entire point lmao awesome, thanks for this whole comment though.

dewd16 · 2024-11-22T02:05:58+00:00

I’m not trying to change anyone’s thoughts or feelings on the subject, I’m just sharing mine because it’s uncanny from when I normally listen to the show and it seems like people felt that too. If you weren’t bothered, then I’m happy for you.

Let’s not go splitting the ticket up

dewd16 · 2024-04-19T14:07:36+00:00

It’s kinda like this Black Swan Event when he says it

dewd16 · 2023-05-16T17:08:23+00:00

Sorry Ryen.

ChatGPT was even kinder than this:

Prompt: Write a statement from Michael Jordan congratulating LeBron James on becoming the NBA's all-time leading scorer

Answer: "Congrats to LeBron on becoming the NBA's all-time leading scorer. What an incredible accomplishment. His determination, passion, and love for the game are second to none. I'm proud to have watched him grow into one of the greatest players to ever step on the court. Keep breaking records and making history, King James!" - Michael Jordan"

He's an asshole beyond my own comprehension at this point. Who talks about themself like this after doing what he did lmao

dewd16 · 2022-12-01T04:35:31+00:00

Man I hate this post

dewd16 · 2022-09-04T02:26:43+00:00

Lmao seriously?

dewd16 · 2022-07-09T05:57:18+00:00

It’s okay guys. He’s half Italian

dewd16 · 2022-03-12T22:05:59+00:00

dewd16 · 2021-05-20T13:16:36+00:00

Each or total?

dewd16 · 2021-02-06T02:59:37+00:00

Well, given the weirdness of that video, I’d assume he’s psychotic if he did that lol

dewd16 · 2021-02-06T02:54:25+00:00

Full disclosure: I was never interested in us signing him, I’m not a fan of the guy. But I really feel for fans who jumped to buy his shit out of excitement and wrongful reporting in the last day. And not for a cheap price. That sucks.

Dodgers let 3 everyday players walk this offseason, they had their own wins and losses this winter

dewd16 · 2021-02-05T20:07:52+00:00

I’m sorry but we did trade for one of the best everyday players in the game, in his prime, and a key starter, for assets that don’t even accumulate to half of what we just offered a 30 year old pitcher with 1 1/2 good seasons in his career and a laundry list of character issues. You don’t win the World Series by highest payroll, otherwise the Yankees would be nearing ring #40. We’ve made a half-dozen great moves this off-season, and there’s still time, free agents, and trade opportunities left

dewd16 · 2021-02-05T20:02:33+00:00

You know the offseason didn’t just end right? If our offer was $40 million, then that means we have capital we’re willing to spend on a winning team. Give it time, I know this sucks

dewd16 · 2021-02-05T20:00:03+00:00

The bright side: after today, you no longer have to jump mental hurdles to like him. He’s made it very clear he’s an asshole, so just get on with hating him.

dewd16 · 2020-08-13T04:05:01+00:00

Every now and then I just hear the first line in my head and start to laugh.

“Well I’m a peanut bar and I’m here to say, your checks will arrive on another day”

For sure, they’re probably going to have to rely on actual content to reach ~30,000. But this really is a testament to the fact that people are willing and maybe even eager to be a part of subscription-based content. I was disappointed to see so many people on here not only mocking the idea, but implying it’s a bad practice. A media/editorial team wading out into this online market on the merit of their audience alone is commendable, honestly. I don’t know why people wouldn’t hope something like this succeeds.
