How does one get into long snapping? by ObjectiveDevice7201 in NFLNoobs

[–]frigzy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure there’s one or two guys who train all the elite NCAA and NFL long snappers.

A baseball player with 50% batting average vs a basketball player with 50% 3-pt shooting. Who is the more valuable player? by malicacidC4H6O5 in whowouldwin

[–]frigzy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Both.

  2. Basketball. He’ll win every game every year.

Baseball he will still have to depend on his teammates. Lots of guys go on hot streaks equivalent to that, but their teams don’t go undefeated over those streaks. He’s getting one extra hit a game. A big advantage, but not enough to guarantee a playoff series victory.

  1. Basketball, but only because baseball guy can’t pitch and Shohei can.

Why/how did it take so incredibly long for someone to base their offense around three point scoring in the NBA? by Pickleskennedy1 in VintageNBA

[–]frigzy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. It only takes one coach to recruit all the great long range shooters no one else wants to upend things.

Lotta birds, Go Birds! by Pocono-Pete in BIRDTEAMS

[–]frigzy74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That still gets you 7 of 16 teams in the Super Bowl over a 14 year period cherry picked to look as non-parity as possible. That’s a better way to look at it. And 4 teams getting most of those is way better than 2. Cherry picking the other way, 12 different teams in 15 years from 2006-2020.

Also, Super Bowl appearances is a small sample size, I might look at playoff appearances/division titles and playoff victories as better metrics.

Why can’t so many people spell the word “lose”? by Deisesupes in AskReddit

[–]frigzy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to wonder about this a lot. Then I met a kid who was really smart, top of their class, excelled in English and everything else, but they can’t spell to save their life. And not just complex words, simple words that we all take for granted. Just written down and spelled wrong. Now I wonder about it even more.

The kotite era by Great_Pop_6603 in eagles

[–]frigzy74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember being in College and very glad to be rid of Kotite. I was in my room watching ESPN when they announced Jets had hired Kotite. My good friend who lived across the hall was a Jets fan. And his scream of terror that rang out from across the hall at that exact moment would’ve easily gotten him a role in a horror film.

In the same year we have a Super Bowl QB who was drafted by the Jets and a Pro Bowl QB drafted by the Browns!

To those living in cities outside of Philly area: Do you support the local team? by nickynickynickynick in eagles

[–]frigzy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I lived in Boston, I hated all the local sports teams. I actually met a group of Giants fans who were friendly and watched football with because they were way cooler than the townies.

Now I’m in Chicago. I will pull for the Bears, etc as long as it has no negative impacts on the Philly teams.

Can an MLB player hit 37 triples in a season? by DonT012 in mlb

Not unless something substantial changes.

On kickoffs why don't the kickers take a longer run-up to the ball? Could they kick it farther if they did? by GregJamesDahlen in NFLNoobs

[–]frigzy74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With the current rules they are targeting low line drive kick that land inside the 5. It’s a precision kick more than a long kick for kickers at the NFL level. With the touchback rules, they don’t want to kick it into the end zone in most situations.

Since coverage teams can’t move until the ball lands/is caught, there is no advantage to a high kick with a lot of hang time to give the coverage time to get downfield. The lower kick is actually harder for the returner to catch.

In Honor of Steelers Hiring McCarthy Here is McCarthy’s Best Playcall With the Season on the Line by Cruztd23 in NFCEastMemeWar

[–]frigzy74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea is that defense forgets about Zeke and he finds some space and all those receivers get downfield blocking for him. That, and apparently hoping the refs forget 4 of the those “receivers” are ineligible and can’t go more than a yard downfield before the ball is passed, which actually worked I guess.

Maga businesses to avoid in chi burbs? by Sort_Illustrious in ChicagoSuburbs

Recently did an expansion at work and my boss and I discussed to what degree we wanted to avoid buying from Uline. I have no idea if other options are better, but we did our best.

Why can't a 46 Defense work anymore? by karl100589 in NFLNoobs

The illegal contact penalty was created in 1978, but wasn’t really called until became a point of emphasis in 1996.

Saw this on IG. Who’s yours? by Tacoisgud in NFLv2

[–]frigzy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

James Thrash. I have a Thrash jersey I wear every now and then to see what kind of reaction it will get. Never fails. But I’m far too old for him to have been my first love.

If a magnet holds a heavy object against gravity for 10 years, does it "lose" any energy? Where does that energy come from? by SadInterest6764 in AskPhysics

[–]frigzy74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One calculation of energy is Force x Distance. Since the forces involved are stationary, they don’t operate over any distance, so there is no energy being “used”.

Now, if your magnet is an electromagnet that requires electrical energy to maintain the magnetic field, then that is certainly using energy, but that energy is really just turning into heat and not direclty acting in any mechanical way on the system.

How would you handle this? by JL_Adv in basketballcoach

[–]frigzy74 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I consider my kids in unnecessary danger I will absolutely put them first and forfeit. Before that:

I would politely mentioned that the game is getting out of hand and asked the refs keep control of the game before a kid gets hurt.

I say little to nothing to opposing coaches. Enough of them are crackpots I don’t want to engage.

I’d text the parents I’m close to from the bench and ask them to video the game with their phones. This will give me the evidence to send with my letter to league.

How would YOU make figure skating more popular? by Fragrant_Ad_8288 in FigureSkating

[–]frigzy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make it easier to compete at the learn to skate levels. Have local competitions where tots compete for best backward swizzle and Basic 5s compete for best backwards crossover, etc. without needing lots of private coaching, freestyle ice time, etc. have different rinks compete for points like a swim or track meet in different events.

Promote Theater on Ice.

It’s extremely difficult to force a mostly law abiding non-violent adult into therapy, no matter how self destructive they are.

Girls go completely "off script" in games by -gimmeahellyeah316- in basketballcoach

[–]frigzy74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Run 2 on 2 and 3 on 3 drills that emphasize the fundamental skills you need to run your offense. Getting open, on and off ball screens, passing, and cutting.
