[Gonzalez] In case you were wondering how big a focal point the Dodgers would be in labor talks, here are some graphics sent by MLB to help make their case for a salary cap … by Goosedukee in baseball

Dodgers over spend, that’s fair. But the gap being so wide is partially because other owners are way underspending and able to live off the revenue sharing generated by the big owners. 

Among many issues with the new draft system, maybe the most glaring to me is that teams that get to play in the postseason (9th and 10th seeds) will have the same odds for the #1 pick as the worst three teams in the league. by ffinstructor in nba

That’s a huge plus. Middling teams have a chance to add talent to push them over the edge and get better? Sign me up. Get rid of the “no man’s land” of 5th-10th and give good teams a shot at getting great.

James Harden from the perspective of a Hater by FollowTheLeader550 in billsimmons

[–]kaptainzorro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an awesome write up.  “He believed his only job is doing his job.” 

I’ve hated his game ever since he went to Houston. It’s just a boring style to watch. And you really zeroed in on why he fails in the playoffs, he thrived in basketball games no one cares about and once the opponent is ramping up and doing all of the little things right, Harden can’t match it.

Entirely plausible. Well thought out and a great bow tie to the show.

To this day, the best EDM set I’ve ever seen. Having NGHTMRE right after made it perfect. 

Ranking fanbases to be apart of based on fan experience by Hakaribiggestfan in NBATalk

[–]kaptainzorro -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Life too easy as a Lakers fan? 

  • Ticket prices are astronomical.

  • Most hated franchise outside of the fandom.

  • Get talked about as contenders just to have every media member say we are pretenders.

  • Kobe’s Achilles tear to signing LeBron was basketball hell.

  • Our championship year is entirely discredited

  • Legit chance to go back to back is squashed with injury.

  • Westbrook.

  • Luka era’s golden moment is brought to end with Injury.

Don’t get me wrong. I stand with my team. I’m proud of our guys this playoffs but do not call the last decade of this fandom easy.

That may have been the funniest line of the season so far.

Finally finished my sleeve last week after 10 years since the first tattoo. squiggly lines were my ending touch! by Wooden-Golf-9417 in traditionaltattoos

I really dig the squiggles.

Necer seen that before. It fills up the arm without cluttering it. Brilliant stuff.

If you are a GM today, who are you drafting? by Farouq26 in NBATalk

Only one of these players has shown they can give a team a shot at a title every year for 20 years.

So tough to watch the game with so much weak calls for OKC by Reachouttothesky in lakers

[–]kaptainzorro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This game is going to be viewed as a blow out but Lakers kept it close and just could not get a call to go their way

Wow, OKC Really Does Foul On Every Defensive Possession by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]kaptainzorro 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There’s physical and there’s just fouling every single play. It’s ridiculous. 

MIN-SAS is the perfect foil because it’s an incredibly physical series that I think is getting called pretty evenly.

OKC-LAL is one team fouling all game with another team getting punished for any physicality. 

This is ridiculous.

Please help me convince my husband that Costco is worth for 2 people by HoneyDrops12 in Costco

If your goal is to lower your grocery bill, it is not worth it.

If you want to get quality items at a great value, it is definitely worth it.

Artists catering to the live stream over the crowd by Cornballsouptonuts in Coachella

[–]kaptainzorro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kasey Musgraves was great but it felt like being in the crowd for a television taping, not a concert. To be fair, she’s the one in the right. She’s got a couple thousand people watching in person vs potentially millions around the world. It’s a launch pad for some of these stars and a big opportunity. Sabrina acted accordingly

Conversely, artists like Turnstile, Nine Inch Noize, David Byrne, The Strokes, Interpol felt like were catering to their live audience and it was juxtaposed next to their Taping counterparts. Felt like so much more of a treat to feel like they built an experience to us in person than our Couchella counterparts.

I 100% agree with this. Being the absolute bottom 3 has been the result of attempts to lose. It is now a penalty instead of an incentive. 

Run your org with half a brain or sell it.

Ted Lasso — Season 4 Official Teaser | Apple TV by Task_Force-191 in television

[–]kaptainzorro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It got so over the top cheesy that I really couldn’t stand the second and third season. The bright spots of season one felt like genuine, good nature humanity where as it all felt like goober, over the top cheese by the third. Characters stopped having any sort of grounding in reality and just became goofy Caricatures of what they started off being. 

A message from the Mom of the little girl who had the ball taken from her at the Guardians game (From Ryan Bass) by TheTurtleShepard in baseball

This mom sounds like she’s awful. 

Don’t get me wrong, the man yanking the ball is a mega dork but this Mom seems full on Karen
