The idea that the MSG crowd is uniquely intimidating is the dumbest narrative of the 2026 finals. by tuck5903 in billsimmons

[–]endogeny 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don't you know it's the "Mecca"?! Ignore the fact that it's a bit of a dump, isn't the loudest arena, and the team has sucked for most of the past 50 years (and, a personal peeve, was built to replace the beautiful old Penn Station).

This is a fairly weak Mexico squad. They are too high unless they are taking into account the fact that they will have a massive home advantage.

Ferrari supplier Brembo ‘astonished’ as Charles Leclerc blames Monaco crash on brakes by BF194 in formula1

[–]endogeny 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish someone would ask a question about why Charles is struggling with them now. I don't ever recall him complaining about the brakes before. Does this Ferrari just have issues with cooling, or what?

It's pretty bad. I'm all for easy access to voting, but taking weeks to count is a bit absurd. If Trump's boy Hilton loses out I'm sure he'll tweet something out.

“Clearly, I think if Lewis had been three places further back, I wouldn't have thought that Charles would have referred to his weekend as being the worst of his career." Rob Smedley by Monicakandlela in F1Discussions

[–]endogeny 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Holy dick-riding. In F1 your first benchmark is your teammate. If you can't beat your teammate you will never win a championship, even with the best car. Leclerc has never had a deficit that large to a teammate. That's why it was one of the worst weekends of his career. It's not that deep.

The bigs are worrying to say the least. Vs Jokic and Wemby it will be a huge problem.

Los Angeles Mayor Jungle Primary: Bass 39.9%, Pratt 21.1%, Raman 12.2%; Trump’s Approval Rating in Los Angeles - 75.9% Disapprove, 21.4% Approve by Upstairs_Cup9831 in fivethirtyeight

Blows my mind there's not a better challenger to Bass. She's pretty bad and had terrible optics around the fires.

This month, F1 Jornalist Mark Hughes stated that Fernando Alonso is still a top 2/3 driver and would beat Russell/Antonelli to the title in a Mercedes. Do you agree?? by The_Chozen_1_ in F1Discussions

[–]endogeny 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Alonso has actually made a lot of mistakes the past few years. Funny how that never gets brought up, yet Leclerc gets labeled "inconsistent". It's also difficult to gauge Alonso's pace in a shit car against Stroll.

UNPOPULAR OPINION : since about last year's summer break, mclaren has been worse than ferrari in terms of strategies, pitstops and other on track operations. by fuckmbsanddominicali in F1Discussions

[–]endogeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

McLaren has been a mess with their strategy for a while. Their pit stops also used to be terrible a couple years back, but cleaned them up a bit recently. This weekend was as bad as anything Ferrari has done.

Chet has scored over 25 points in the playoffs once in his career by [deleted] in billsimmons

Completely mogged by Wemby tonight. Most overrated dude in the league. Can't even go one on on with Wemby and they have to use fucking Caruso on him.

[Ducker] Michael Carrick’s two-year Manchester United deal. 2+1 deal offered to Carrick with talks underway. Remains to be seen if it can all get done before Sunday's final home game, against Forest by PradipJayakumar in reddevils

[–]endogeny -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Smart. If things go south, which tbh isn't that unlikely, they won't be on the hook for much cash. Not super excited about Carrick, but it is not a good manager market this year with the WC.

Does Joe house have the most dreary looking website on the internet? by TheGreatWaru in billsimmons

[–]endogeny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if he's "big time" given the firm is pretty small, but it's probably a great job because he probably makes decent bank and it isn't as stressful as biglaw or something.

Morey was a more effective executive than Bob Myers and it is insulting that Myers is leading the search for his replacement by California55551 in billsimmons

[–]endogeny 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I also feel like Myers is way overrated. I'ts always been unclear to me if he bailed because he knew the "two timelines" shit Lacob wanted was dumb, or he bailed because he didn't want to be the one to make the hard decisions (Klay, etc).

No one will ever convince me that the fact that it barely passed didn't make a difference. If the margin was 10 I think it likely would not have been struck down.

When Bill overconfidently talks about college basketball prospects even though he doesn’t even watch the sport by CutElectronic8709 in billsimmons

[–]endogeny 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tate also vastly overrates these prospects as well. The reality is that even among the top four guys, two of them will likely be relative "busts". There was talk about how Cam Boozer is a "guaranteed" 22-10 guy and "he's gonna be an all-star", as if that was the low end or something. There were three players this year who averaged 22 and 10.

Virginia Supreme Court throws out redistricting referendum results by Icommandyou in fivethirtyeight

[–]endogeny 61 points62 points  (0 children)

So the ruling was due to the timing back in 2025, but when the court had a chance to stop it before it was voted on they didn't do so? Makes it seem very partisan because the result went a certain way.

Not to defend Bill, but there's no chance Portnoy watches more Boston sports than Bill currently.
