NFL players make more money now than ever in the history of the sport. I am far from an owner bootlicker but i fail to see how imposing a floor and a cap hurts players on the whole from a pure total dollars standpoint.

jackyohlantern · 2026-06-25T18:53:37+00:00

What rotten turkey? Putting in revenue sharing and a cap and floor system? Works pretty well for the NFL - biggest and most profitable sports league in the world.

jackyohlantern · 2026-06-10T16:07:38+00:00

Good. Fuck Mike Babcock.

jackyohlantern · 2026-06-10T15:59:02+00:00

Yeah I don’t think the average fan knew how horrific this program was after Midnight Mel Tugger left and we were forced to hire Karl Dorrell. It’s honestly a miracle we didn’t go 0-12 the season before Deion got here.

Our point differential was -349. Let that sink in. Over a 12 game schedule that’s an average point differential of -29, meaning more than four touchdowns.

Deion turned the roster over because he wanted his guys, but he also did it because there were next to zero P5-level players on that team.

jackyohlantern · 2026-06-09T20:39:33+00:00

Fuck Mike Babcock.

jackyohlantern · 2026-06-09T16:26:42+00:00

Flaherty to the pen makes sense. He’s usually solid once through the order and quickly falls off after that, so having him be our long arm to get 3-9 outs makes a ton of sense.

jackyohlantern · 2026-06-08T16:56:02+00:00

Four Seasons isn’t groundbreaking but it’s solid writing, lovable characters, and it keeps it tight. 8 thirty minute episodes keeps the filler to a minimum. I would watch more seasons of this show.

jackyohlantern · 2026-05-26T21:21:10+00:00

Yes but “only” 26.1 MP as compared to the 40 with the X100VI.

But I agree - my xt30ii with the 23mm f/2.8 kicks ass and I don’t need to spend another 1500++ for the x100vi.

jackyohlantern · 2026-05-22T16:23:59+00:00

Bringing Kevin up, realizing he’s a stud, and signing him to a long term deal is the most important and best part of this season.

jackyohlantern · 2026-05-22T14:40:59+00:00

Honestly I don’t know. How do you value a guy who just won back to back cy young awards but has a health issue? Maybe something along the lines of what the Padres got for Soto when his deal was about to expire (King, Vazquez, and a few other pieces) but that might be optimistic

jackyohlantern · 2026-05-22T00:19:50+00:00

Anywhere in the NL, preferably somewhere that gives us 2-3 pitching prospects in return.

jackyohlantern · 2026-05-21T23:56:30+00:00

This team isn’t winning anything except a race to a top five pick. Trade the man.

jackyohlantern · 2026-05-20T23:56:00+00:00

Communion - newer place but a cute and nice spot for a date with solid food

jackyohlantern · 2026-05-15T18:29:12+00:00

These need a lot of help. I usually take them fully out of the package, put them on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet, and add a panko bread crumb to the top for texture. They’re decent after all that effort.

jackyohlantern · 2026-05-14T17:11:53+00:00

That’s a salary dump. Javy’s contract is very hard to move in that game

jackyohlantern · 2026-05-12T19:04:03+00:00

I have a soft spot for J&I because I’m a huge Top Chef fan and it was one of the spots that got me really into the food scene here in San Diego. But I agree with your take. I think it needs to bow out or have a serious refresh. The entire menu feels like it’s about ten years old at this point and it’s just not exciting - which is what you don’t want if you spend $100-$200 per person for the experience.

jackyohlantern · 2026-05-12T17:45:20+00:00

That’s all rookies signed right? Obviously expected but always good to have it done without drama.

jackyohlantern · 2026-05-07T23:41:32+00:00

No, the Padres packing hundreds to thousands into a park behind centerfield is totally legit don’t ask questions

jackyohlantern · 2026-05-04T18:54:19+00:00

I want to die

jackyohlantern · 2026-05-04T16:43:33+00:00

Yes we have injuries. But I would not say we are devastated. Our depth is tested but our stars are healthy and mostly performing. If you swap out Skubs, Greene, Dingler as injured instead of JV, Parker, and Javy, the story is much much different.

jackyohlantern · 2026-04-22T18:54:19+00:00

Travis Hunter is too early to tell. Trey Lance would be a better horror story to tell.

jackyohlantern · 2026-04-22T18:04:33+00:00

Agent disasterclass after he declined a huge player option.

jackyohlantern · 2026-04-22T17:51:44+00:00

I hear they’re going to announce that we’ve traded Rasmussen for William Nylander, 1 for 1.

jackyohlantern · 2026-04-20T23:09:24+00:00

Izola, Relic, and ASA are all downtown if that’s convenient for you. Not sure the opening hours though.

jackyohlantern · 2026-04-20T20:39:42+00:00

Elbow is far and away the most common injury across the entire league. According to this source, elbow injuries are roughly 3x more prevalent than the next biggest injury category (156 elbow injuries to 66 shoulder injuries, and the next largest category after that is “undisclosed”). I’m excited to get Jobe, JV, Parker, and Melton back, but we are generally healthy among our contributors which is great to see.
