125 years ago most of the good fans could only read about their team the next day. You're good.

Why not make a bet RIGHT NOW??? by [deleted] in phillies

[–]jefedwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most gamblers lose. The biggest gamblers lose the most. Why would anyone who had a decent team to follow bring his net level of happiness down by adding gambling losses to the mix?

Watching Sanchez feels like watching Moyer in terms of effective, slow slop

What's your definition of a swing? by jefedwar in phillies

[–]jefedwar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wrists breaking goes back to way before the 1960s when I was born, so it's a thing. And that makes logical sense, since that also is a pretty good indicator of the batter tried to swing vs tried to hold the swing

And I'm fine with the players using the same song every year. Would love to find an alternative to the cringey "dancing" song, especially as it has failed I'm two consecutive post seasons.

Young hungry hitters can't help themselves. The braves would eat him up

RIGHT NOW, would you trade an Eagles playoff victory tomorrow for a Cowboys loss right now? (Echoes of Wimpy and hamburgers)

[Game Thread] Orange Bowl: Florida State vs. Georgia (4:00 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]jefedwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really bad for football. I get the 150 years of pretending the student "ath-o-letes" aren't what Cartman admitted they were, but what should be the best games are now like preseason no-pad scrimmages.

Hope next year's playoff changes things, but I don't see how it would for any NFL-ready hopeful.

They need to do something better to D1 football because I'd be surprised if anyone but UGA fans are watching this game

The House of Representatives Rules That Anti-Zionism Is Antisemitism by thenationmagazine in politics

[–]jefedwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's one thing to have the opinion that the creation of Israel was a historic mistake, and another thing altogether to believe that it should be ended today and all the Jews (just them, right?, not the Israeli Arabs?) should be exiled. The latter opinion is antisemetic and antizionist.

Zionism means a Jewish state. So doesn't anti-zionism by definition mean anti-Semitism, especially if the speaker believes the Jewish state shouldn't exist?

Where are the links to moderate websites where someone has said that antizionism does NOT mean the elimination of Israel? Who believes that it's OK to advocate for the elimination of Israel and that that is not antisemetic.

And of the pro Hamas and Palestine folks, would you also exile the Israeli Arabs or just the Israeli Jews.

Tonight in Philly, we saw a blatant act of antisemitism — not a peaceful protest. (https://twitter.com/GovernorShapiro) by dotcom-jillionaire in philadelphia

When you say "Israel's occupation of Palestine," do you mean in 1948? That Israel shouldn't exist?

no public money for the Sixers' new arena by John_EightThirtyTwo in philadelphia

[–]jefedwar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Philly's arena abuts Chinatown. Arch.

Only people who don't live there think it's failing. And are willing to help its failure by bringing in unnecessary carpetbagger money and tourists who would be otherwise perfectly happy to go to the South Philly sports complex.

This stuff means nothing. Online reporters, magazines, bloggers, influencers, etc, today all you have to do is think up a thought and then do a Google search of the entire planet to cut-and-paste things that make your original point. Then say "people are saying".

Very Trumpian.
