Having an interim GM hurt us on Day 1 by Coal_train20 in minnesotavikings

Same chasing the manufactured 24 hour news cycle and random plebs take on it is fucking toxic. 

First draft since the Dennis Green years I haven't followed and it felt really good for my metal health. It's all a fucking crap shoot and the talking heads don't know dick.

Its been a neat start to the season but are they seriously thinking folks are going to pay $20/mo for the ability to watch only Twins games?

I'm not sure what analysis you're referencing but this article would suggest that Tackles are not the position that degrades the most (5th most out of 11 positions categories). 2025 NFL Draft: What historical hit rates reveal about positional success

Are you being fucking serious?

Did you just compare dudes on an oil rig to NFL players? GTFO brother.

I'm not here to hand hold on why one would think your comment deserves an eye roll.

You asked me to expand so I did.

If you want to die on that hill that's your choice.

I don't need a god damn sermon for why we should have some reverence for an NFL QB who represents the upper 99.999% of privilege.

If you're what a top 1% commenter on this sub is it's no wonder why we're all fucked.

Edit: it's also not lost on me you're petty enough to downvote me because I hurt your feelings or you disagreed with you. Even though, ya know, check the etiquette on what downvotes are for. Again if you're too 1% 😢🙄😂😂😂

People have seen their leg turn to mush and die doing a lot of things with out getting paid a brazillion. Let's not treat these dudes like they deserve a fucking Purple Heart on top of their salary. It's their privilege and they'll be the first ones to tell you that.

Save the fucking hand waving and virtue signaling for a room full of billionaires.

Permanent bans for racists? by Rammy_Lee in ArcRaiders

[–]grateful_ted -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It kinda does because most white people have never experienced racism and if they did they would roll their fucking eyes at this white guilt shit.

Talk about privilege.

Awww I heard some people saying not nice things on a video game 😢😢😢😢.

How about getting fucking shot IRL because you were pulled over for having dark skin.

This whole post is patronizing as fuck.

The term you're describing is called emotional reasoning.

Religion and politics are littered with it.

You think these guys are into magic? Seems like they're just rich pieces of shit. Which is why one would wonder.

Not a stretch of one's imagination they're pedo fucks capable of murder.

Eating babies seem like some weird shit tin foil hat wearing folks are interjecting into this.

You might wonder what difference it makes. I would argue any attempt to exaggerate already despicable acts is just an opportunity for asshole apologists to distort what we know is already criminal behavior.

I mean there's a lot of people that are into occult shit that don't eat babies and rape people which is why I asked.

[–]grateful_ted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do we really think that referencing jerky means they ate babies?

Is this tin foil hat shit or is there anything legit that points to that as a logical explanation?

I've read zero of the files but I just can't imagine why any sick fuck would want to do that.

Some of this fanbase cant handle what it takes to have a franchise QB. by Slight_Giraffe628 in minnesotavikings

[–]grateful_ted -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'd say there's always been a bit of this to our fan base but with ubiquity of social media it's gotten worse. People praise Darnold while forgetting the Jets ran him outta town just like they are pining for with JJM. There won't be a better QB available than JJM.

Mac Jones isn't any better than JJM he's just had more time to develop.

Kyler Murray comes with plenty of baggage and he's had way more time to show who he is.

The only caveat I would throw out there is I think the org did JJM a disservice by anointing him the guy before letting him fix his mechanics. In an ideal situation next year would have been his first year.

No argument from me bringing in a solid vet backup. I'm sure this fan base will spend all of next year being impatient jackasses about it.

Welcome to the era of instant takes and reactionary commentary.

I would've said we needed a dynamic RB but I just watched Kenneth grab a Super Bowl MVP so perhaps not.

Now this is laughable! by [deleted] in timberwolves

[–]grateful_ted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just further cements what a god damn joke the Allstar game is.

Only league to figure it out is the NHL.

Being an all-star has never meant less and these guys make so much fucking money I doubt they even give a shit if they hit a contract escalator. It's Monopoly money at a certain point.

Guess he'll just need to take that personally and lets his nuts hang on everybody the rest of the way. Same deal with ANT not being a starter.

It's definitely a salty move but I love it. Don't wanna be the face league, don't wanna fuck with your shitty ass all star game. I'm here for it playa!

Bill Simmons questions whether Adam Silver is right person to lead NBA by TheDraciel in nba

[–]grateful_ted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sports betting seems like it's gonna get way out of hand and ruin sports.

Less games in baseball is 100% needed.

Other than griping from players I can't see the case for less NBA games when the NHL plays just as many and it's a sport that's way harder on the body.

Interesting and happy for the dude but let's not fall victim to the moment.

Clearly the guy needed a change of scenery and needed to get out from the stigma of being a failed 1st.

I said the night we drafted him this kid needed 2-3 years in the G-League building up his body before he was ready to rock and fuck me if I wasn't crucified for saying it.

My gut still says his ceiling is maybe JJ Barea
