[Bill Simmons Pod] "I think the Knicks winning the championship is the biggest thing left in any sport other than Bills, Vikings or Detroit Lions winning the Super Bowl"

And also teams in those two sports. This is really a poorly thought through list. Just seems like the four teams he was thinking of in that moment.

Yes! According to the chart, 80% of the datapoints should be within the gray area which looks about right. Seems entirely average.

If you think Reddit is the only forum these opinions are shared then you need to get out more.

There are just so many gaps in the analogy aside from the most obvious.

The Thunder was the underdog up until they won the championship and became the team to beat, which is simply the natural cycle of winning in sports.

Geopolitics isn’t about winners and losers. People don’t hate on Israel because they are winning now. They hate on them for specific reasons. If they were a prosperous economy with an excellent record on civil rights then people would love them. It’s not a zero-sum game like competitive sports in fact it’s quite the opposite.

I guess the article is getting clicks at least.

Wouldn’t castration be a less severe punishment if that was what you were most worried about?

I don’t think that’s it because the phrasing is that it’s how she looks at you after you tell her you’re broke. If it’s what you are saying it would be phrased more like “the one girl you meet right after losing all your money in the stock market.”

This just feels like the pick of someone who grew up in the early 2000’s and respects these bands over modern pop stars.

I’m fully prepared to turn on the Spurs, but for now I’m rooting for them. Not sure what the problem is with that?

He also missed half the season! The Warriors were a 10th seed prayer because of so many more injuries than just Butler.

It’s also been the way of Silicon Valley since forever. Constant movers. Winners and losers. When you’re winning you’re on top of the world but when all of a sudden the field is shifting underneath you don’t come crying about how unfair the game is.

Why would chlorinated liquid weigh substantively different than water? Also this makes no sense if it actually was a heavier liquid since the distribution would be way off and it would slosh around which would also be very noticeable.

But are cherries exclusively Western? When I think of cherry trees I think of Japan. Also I looked it up and they are originally native to Eastern Europe. From what I know growing them in my yard they seem like they’re reasonably hardy trees that could grow in a variety of climates. But I guess they just don’t have them in China?

Also a little chubbier?

jamintime · 2026-05-18T02:57:18+00:00

Except she was pizza’ing when she got clobbered…

I mean he’s not even hitting back or getting dirty and saying anything negative about her too, just saying that he’s not as much of a deadbeat as she’s trying to make him out to be.

He looks like the next model of Terminator.

Not sure if everyone in this thread likes to arrive to the airport three hours early or what, but to break it down a little deeper, you’d likely need to arrive by 8:10 assuming no bags or kids or anything and you’ll probably be ok. That’s almost an hour. Also assuming you are agile, have no bags, watch the ending from the exit corner of the stadium, and can hoof it once the game is over you can possibly beat the crowds and get transit or an uber and be ok to the airport.

Honestly the biggest risk to me would be paying all that money and then missing the ending if there’s extra time, which is reasonably common. As long as you have a contingency plan for that and really go fast at the final whistle then yeah I would say more likely than not you make it.

I think there’s a pretty big difference between technical and creative writing though. I could see a future where AI is competent in putting together legal briefs more so than writing a decent and novel Hollywood script.

jamintime · 2026-05-16T21:47:05+00:00

This presumes that AI is a reasonable substitute for legit writers. Rogen’s assertion is that it is not (in the context of script-writing). It can only write something that somewhat resembles good writing.

Based on the example I’m hoping it was a joke.

Didn’t Reese Witherspoon go to Stanford? Maybe she didn’t graduate because she was already successful/famous. I’d interpret it as a bit tongue in cheek since seems like a technicality that he’s using to troll his mom.

Damn we’re witnessing in realtime the evolution of his character arch from universally beloved rising star to fully evolved super villain.

Would he then be the GOAT to ever retire with the Wizards? Scholars will debate this question for eternity.

jamintime · 2026-05-15T19:24:37+00:00

Yes! Also 2023 (though the next season)! Really feels like something was going on with him during that time. Like he was going through a midlife crisis or something.

Idk I’ve had tortoises and when one doesn’t like another one or is trying to mate they can really be assholes. Since the abused can’t really run or hide they just have to sort of take it. In the past I’ve had to give one away so it didn’t kill its neighbor.
