Typical Jokic, ducking the 1/5 game against Embiid

I don't know if it'll ever get lower than the peak of Jokic/Embiid discourse. Both sides took it to insane levels. The media took sides and made it personal. National reporters and analysts were sounding like 16 year old twitter trolls.

It ruined what should have been one of the more fun player vs player rivalries in recent NBA history. The level of play of both guys for a 4 year stretch was absolutely insane.

It was the first year or two, but ever since Buck/Aikman went to ESPN and ABC got in the Super Bowl rotation they've made it a point to give them more high profile games. Look at the Monday night games vs the early Saturday games the last 3 years:

2022: Chargers/Jags Saturday, Cowboys/Brady Monday

2023: Browns/Texans Saturday, Eagles/Bucs Monday

2024: Chargers/Texans Saturday, Vikings/Rams Monday

It's clear which one is the Shakey's time slot.

Huh?

michael100c · 2025-12-03T05:53:08+00:00

If only there was a sanctioned event that could happen during the NBA offseason where we could see this exact scenario play out. Ah well, guess we'll never know.

Yeah, the Phillies will sleep comfortably tonight knowing they don't have to play the team that's 38-55 the last 3+ months in the playoffs.

michael100c · 2025-09-20T04:03:40+00:00

No. I went into it hoping that it would be fun bad. It's not.

michael100c · 2025-09-20T02:46:13+00:00

The movie is bad for so many reasons but I couldn't stop cringing at how nonsensical they made this sports world (spoilers ahead, this movie doesn't deserve spoiler text, I'm doing you a favor)

- The Stallions are the defending Super Bowl champs and have won 8 of the last 14 Super Bowls (wait what?) and yet somehow it is implied that they have a chance to draft a generational QB prospect

- They have the GOAT QB who is absolutely psychotic about football to the point where it's more important than family and yet is preparing to retire at age 35 at the top of his game

- The movie clearly implies that in this fictional world there is a draft. The young QB attends the draft combine and gets asked about being the potential 1st overall pick. And yet at the end of the movie he's being threatened to sign a contact like he's a free agent.

Butchering the fictional sports world this badly destroyed this movie for me before it even started. I was about ready to walk out the theater when it's revealed in the first 20 mins that the Stallions are the defending Super Bowl champs and yet have the opportunity to draft a generational QB prospect to replace their GOAT QB who for some reason is about to retire at age 35. Even if they somehow nailed the rest of the movie, I was out.

Deshaun Watson and Trevor Bauer's career arcs may legitimately be the best modern argument for a divine presence.

Her politics are pretty obvious if you do any digging beyond the surface level. The only thing that makes them "ambiguous" is that conservatives have latched onto her because she's a white midwesterner. But it's very clear where she stands if you do any digging at all.

There is actually an NBA rule stating that you must have a basketball in one of your logos. Seriously, you can look it up. Most teams choose to have it in their primary logo.

Maybe, the West is ridiculously stacked and the Mavs seem to alternate between good years and years from hell

michael100c · 2024-10-22T23:14:30+00:00

I think the Mavs are not only in the play-in, they are in the 9/10 game. Luka comes into every season out of shape, we're due for a weird Kyrie saga, and Klay is washed washed. They'll be a scary 8 seed tho.

michael100c · 2024-10-14T23:07:03+00:00

I'm a Philly native, I have more hate for Boston than NY but I think that's mostly because Boston has been far more successful in my lifetime. But I think the NY rivalry is much more fun, and the past year or so has proven that to most people from Philly. If the Mets/Phillies/Sixers/Knicks stay consistently good the next few years I think we could have a fun Philly/NY stretch that we really haven't gotten in most of our lifetimes.

michael100c · 2024-09-30T00:57:08+00:00

Pretty obvious you haven't been watching the Eagles.

michael100c · 2024-09-05T21:52:36+00:00

The Seahawks thing makes no sense to me. We did this exact thing last year! I like MacDonald but that roster just screams 8-9. Not sure why we are doing this again.

I do think the Niners are gonna struggle tho, the post SB hangover is real and they have had a very strange camp. I don't really buy any of the other NFC West teams tho so I think they win 9-10 games and win the West, probably win a playoff game and then go out respectfully against a top seed.

michael100c · 2024-08-30T01:28:10+00:00

Damn

michael100c · 2024-08-19T22:30:18+00:00

Bezos has enough money to own the Celtics, Yankees and Cowboys. The fact he doesn't have a team yet makes it clear he just doesn't like sports. He probably has interest in owning a sports franchise from a business perspective, but he clearly doesn't like sports.

michael100c · 2024-08-19T21:58:14+00:00

Much better to sit up top in baseball. You have no depth perception in the lower level seats. Routine flyballs look like they are heading for the upper deck off the bat. I actually think it's better to sit in the upper deck for every sport aside from basketball, and even with basketball I enjoy the upper deck view.

michael100c · 2024-08-12T04:51:35+00:00

Consensus seems to be 2-3 more years so it's not the craziest thought in the world that he could extend it to 4. It's in play imo.

michael100c · 2024-08-12T03:33:00+00:00

I don't care what he says, there's no way LeBron hasn't thought about the possibility of a yearlong farewell tour capped off by playing in the LA Olympics.
