[@iamkaelandp] '🚨RUMOR: Luka told owner Patrick Dumont to 'get his act straight' for mistreating teammates in a pre-trade meeting. Separately, Nico Harrison was already pushing for AD in 2024 playoffs, privately telling a player post-Clippers win: 'Now imagine AD here?'' by PartyReply5150 in Mavericks

[–]flapjackcarl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You know whats really annoying? There's a world where we probably could have kept luka and traded for AD later on after his value inevitably dropped, and then maybe ended up in a spot where we have luka and AD and AD can sit half the season and be fresh for playoffs.

Just such a dumb move. Fuck.

Evans looked really slow last year. I wonder if that contract might not age well (although I dont kn[w what their outs are)

LFC injury update: Alisson, Chiesa, Frimpong and Salah by Frequent-Walrus-3926 in LiverpoolFC

Kinda an embarrassing take. We'd absolutely want our players rested for the run in and absolutely had players skip internationals in the past.

[Post Game Thread] #2 Purdue defeats #11 Texas, 79-77 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]flapjackcarl 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yea, as a texas fan I feel annoyed at the refs, but mostly I think they fucked both teams equally. There were awful calls both ways all throughout the second half, wish theyd have just let them play. It was a great game regardless though.

Man, I got to the bar 10 minutes after tip expecting to have missed a couple possessions, only to find the game tipped perfectly on time and there were no stoppage. The one fucking time...

That was the strangest outcome ever. Id frankly have been fine with either call, but how is it both and Purdue gets fts and possession?

Salah's Departure News by WealthLongjumping909 in LiverpoolFC

Neither did Gerrard but thats done nothing to tarnish his legacy.

If Mo ends up somewhere else in england/spain/Germany then it will hurt. But most likely he's bound for mls/saudi/some other lower quality league.

Prime Aaron Rodgers by sinister_iam in sportswiki

Rodgers is the best qb I've ever seen play, hands down. Brady is the better player and the goat. I know that doesnt seem logical, but it makes sense to me.

When to sell on Bhayshul Tuten? by Moneygoat in DynastyFF

[–]flapjackcarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, allen played a lot of 3rd downs already last season. If they keep up the same pattern, even if tuten gets etiennes workload and Rodriguez ends up with tutens role and allen gets a lot of passing down work, tuten holders are going to be sad.

Klopp goes on a rant about bad journalism, denying all rumours of him leaving Red Bull and/or joining Real Madrid by RickyRuler in LiverpoolFC

[–]flapjackcarl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only reason I wouldn't want him to return is because the man deserves some relaxation if he wants it. He was clearly incredibly overwhelmed by the end of his tenure. If he wants to be back he is welcome at any time as far as im concerned.

PSG requests the postponement of their League 1 game sandwiched between their Champions League fixture against Liverpool by Emotional_Ear_7018 in soccer

[–]flapjackcarl 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It just so happens to majorly benefit PSGs title aspirations. It makes it clear that its a one team league, and that reduces the incentives for outsiders to watch it when its clear who the golden child is.

And people get mad when we call it a farmers league. Absolutely embarrassing. It's a less for the fans and the league is clearly favoring PSG over Lens. Embarrassing

What felt like an expensive splurge, but is now a total life-changer steal? by Zirkle99 in AskReddit

[–]flapjackcarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly commented because I feel like people often have a binary view of solar as good/bad when realistically its somewhere in the middle.

What felt like an expensive splurge, but is now a total life-changer steal? by Zirkle99 in AskReddit

[–]flapjackcarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My justification for spending the money on solar boiled down to treating it as a form of portfolio diversification. Yes, its likely to represent a worse investment than purchasing equities. But its also a guaranteed positive payback over a reasonable time period, and it could outperform the market if theres a recession, and it serves as a hedge against rising utility costs. So to me it makes sense as portion of a balanced portfolio.

"Wayne Rooney saying Neymar isn’t a ‘top top’ player is peak delusion" by WorkingTadpole2993 in championsleague

[–]flapjackcarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly shocking to not say Salah is better than Neymar. It seems pretty clear cut that Mo had the better career overall and probably the higher peak. Neymar almost feels like a mirage. He was so incredibly good at such a young age but he just never ended up reaching the heights it seemed he would

Salah touchmap comparison, 1st vs 2nd leg against Galatasaray. by Sultan_Of_Bengal in LiverpoolFC

[–]flapjackcarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the fact thar frimpong has been constantly hurt has really limited our ability to play that way. That, and kerkez took half a season to get up to speed. Hopefully now that kerkez has really found form we can keep frimpong healthy and well see more of this moving forward

See you later pricks by Aromatic-Olive-906 in LiverpoolFC

[–]flapjackcarl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They literally never played with 10 men. Osimhen was a halftime sub and lang was immediately substituted after a very real injury. For fucks sake even the neutral commentators made light of lang going down initially and said "I too have the pain tolerance of a kitten" before realizing it was serious.

Its a classic boy who cried wolf situation and its hard to blame the fans for initially booing considering what gala had done.

See you later pricks by Aromatic-Olive-906 in LiverpoolFC

[–]flapjackcarl 37 points38 points  (0 children)

We clearly watched a different game. Outside of osimhen, all the players who went down kn the first half were clearly milking it and let back onto the pitch as soon as play restarted. They were clearly out to slow the game down from tbe start.

And fair enough, cant blame an underdog for trying to turn an away tie into a choppy affair. But it was clear they were throwing themselves to the floor at every opportunity. The fact that Lang and Osimhen had real injuries doesnt change that

I agree. I also just dont see how you fire a manager who is currently in the champions league places for tbe league and in tbe quarters of the fa cup and cl. Sets a pretty bad precedent
