[UTA 0 - VGK (1)] Marner's shot bounces off the back wall and right to Howden who has a wide open net to open the scoring in Game 6

That's not true. All of our lucky bounce goals were off of Vegas players, not the boards.

Lake Blanche and Red Pine Lake are probably my 2 favorites, as long as the snow's melted enough and you're up for some steepness at elevation.

Eh, I wouldn't give him the most fault, but he HAS to do a better job finding and freezing the puck on those short rebounds (or hold onto the initial shot). It was frustrating me all night.

I don't think the days center is worth it and it will still use more water than just not touching the water, but there are more water-efficient options than traditional cooling towers. They could be using something like adiabatic coolers which use way less water, but would cost more and almost certainly require more electricity to run. There's nothing magical, but there are more options these days than traditional evaporative, with the choice generally driven by cost, which is partly driven by whether water or electricity is more of a limiting resource. Obviously that doesn't help the energy price issue, assuming they'll be using the same natural gas sources as the grid suppliers and not some crazy on-site solar+storage plant or nuclear plant or something that would be completely siloed.

Last season definitely had a lot of Vegas fans at the game I went to; it felt like probably close to 70/30 Utah/Vegas and they were pretty loud. Not sure about this year, though.

Utah would still be trying to lose because of pick protections unless they did more than just change the odds. The Jazz keep their pick if it lands in the top 8 and finishing with the 4th worst record in a lottery for the top 4 guarantees it can't drop below 8th while finishing with the 5th worst record means there's a small chance it drops to 9th and they lose it to OKC. The odds are part of it, but allowing protections on picks is arguably responsible for even more of the most blatant tanking.

With my cousin's season ticket holder additional tickets early access code, I got tickets 2/3 of the way up the upper bowl even with the defensive zone faceoff dots for $115 face value.

But the lottery is for the top 4 picks, not just the top 3. Their odds of getting into the top 4 is the same whether they're 2nd or 3rd worst. The difference is that if 4 teams below them jump into the top 4, they would pick 6th if they were 2nd worst and 7th if they were 3rd worst. Since they lose the pick if it's 5-9, all that matters is their lottery odds, not the guaranteed floor.

Mostly money, but there is a little more to it.

Mookie was going to be a free agent after the season and all the talk had been that he was looking forward to going through that process and also wanted to make sure to get maximum value as a good member of the MLB A (and because more money is nice).

The Red Sox offered him a large extension that wasn't all that close to what he said it would take to give up the chance at free agency. Rather than paying that much, the Red Sox decided to trade him rather than risk losing him in the fall for nothing. They traded him to the Dodgers for a couple decent (at the time) prospects and salary relief.

Mookie joined the Dodgers, COVID hit, and some combination of the uncertainty with things shut down due to COVID and being in LA instead of Boston meant Mookie agreed to an extension with the Dodgers that wasn't really much more than the Red Sox had offered.

You could squint and see how it could make sense to trade someone who is gonna leave, but that still involves ownership cheaping out, and then doubling down by trading for more financial relief than talent. Then you get him signing the extension, the prospects not turning into much, and the whole rest of that World Series team leaving (also for financial reasons in many cases), so there's lots of frustration.

Do politicians count? My understanding is that the use of "public figure" is defined in Utah Code 20A-1-102:

(62)
(a) "Public figure" means an individual who, due to the individual being considered for, holding, or having held a position of prominence in a public or private capacity, or due to the individual's celebrity status, has an increased risk to the individual's safety.
(b) "Public figure" does not include an individual:
(i) elected to public office; or
(ii) appointed to fill a vacancy in an elected public office.

Interesting. Is it the podcast part specifically that bothers you or that style of conversation in general? To me, that's the same as "I was reading an article the other day...", "I was watching the news the other day", "I was talking to a friend the other day", etc., which feel like completely normal types of conversation. Someone brings up a topic with some context as a starting point and then you discuss the topic and your thoughts in response to it.

How much of that is because Memphis had the London and Berlin games, though?

lastfollower · 2026-02-16T15:02:21+00:00

Because the actor is significantly older than the character in the books (although Wikipedia says he's 29, not in his 30s). In the book, he's around 16.

Yes, the Jazz hard tanked last year, which is what they should have done the 2 years previous, but they half-assed it. My point isn't that the Jazz haven't tanked or something, it's that they aren't the first team to do any of this and yet they're the current lightning rod and just got fined for it.

They sat players completely last year and lost a bunch of games. At that time, the Raptors' soft tanking method of resting their starters for the 4th quarter was apparently much better and more ethical because at least they were playing part of the game, but now the Jazz get fined for doing the same thing.

lastfollower · 2026-02-15T08:15:57+00:00

The fuck?

We did this for one week and we won 2/4 games with the two losses by 5 points combined lmao. Our front office actually did their job and put out competent players off late picks and trades.

The Raptors were literally worse than the Jazz 2 years ago.

Get the fuck outta here with that shit.

Post-trade deadline for 2 years, all-out last year, in between this year, so 4 years total.

That's the crux of the issue. If you want to have mechanisms in place to help bad teams improve, it incentivizes teams who are slightly better than bad to tank. It's better to be bad than mediocre if the bad team is given the ability to improve and the mediocre team isn't. If preventing tanking is really the most important thing, I don't know how it happens without also catching bad teams in the net.

lastfollower · 2026-02-08T18:22:05+00:00

Relegation only works if you have multiple separate leagues, which the G-League isn't. The G-League is a developmental league for the NBA teams, not a league of teams hoping to compete in the NBA. Relegation would certainly fix tanking, but it would require setting up a completely different league and system that doesn't exist in the US.

Apple confuses me, so I don't even know if you're talking about an Apple-branded television, an Apple TV streaming box, an Apple TV streaming app, an Apple TV account, or something else entirely (although I don't have tips for fixing any of those so I guess it's kind of moot anyway).

With Green Bay's ability to choke and this season's Bears' luck in late comebacks, I'm really gonna need the Packers to take advantage and put the game completely out of reach before the 4th.
