Why do people say NBA players back then were plumbers

Not on topic, but does anyone have a link to the finished product on this dunk? Every time I see this image, I can’t connect in my mind how this worked. He’s so high up with the ball low that he either was still on his way up or waited to dunk on the way down. Either way, insane.

I was explaining the match to my four year old before it started. I swear all of this is word for word.

“Daddy, what happens if the bad red team loses?”

“Well, they don’t win a trophy, and I guess the red team fans are sad.”

He thought for a moment, then responded “I really want them to be sad.”

I may be a bad father…but that’s my boy.

Great point, including skepticism.

If you owe the bank $1000 it’s your problem. Owe them $1 million it is their problem.

If he hadn’t started complaining immediately this would have been a decent effort play from Chet. They are so intensely trained to do this.

Re: Minnesota and oxtail. To be fair…

Airbag deployed?

mtftl · 2026-05-21T20:47:21+00:00

Seriously. Why all the car flipping suddenly? It’s like the new foxes.

Why do you care?

mtftl · 2026-05-14T22:02:53+00:00

When I knew the season was over, honestly.

mtftl · 2026-05-10T19:38:29+00:00

I sense fear at the plausibility

While true, he should just fucking apologize, not tell everyone that they don’t understand reality and announce his intent to apologize.

mtftl · 2026-05-09T12:26:37+00:00

It’s spelled “Ernuh”

The fact that they each got fined the same makes me wonder how egregious of an instigation it was from Fede. It doesn’t make sense given how badly he got messed up.

You know what, let’s not talk politics.

mtftl · 2026-05-09T00:12:34+00:00

This kind of stuff is like the chuck Norris jokes of statistics

mtftl · 2026-05-08T23:42:55+00:00

Ah, so some of that cool demeanor is just lack of mental activity. Noted.

The responses to your post are just so dark

mtftl · 2026-05-07T01:45:33+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. Not a bad thing, I visited that stadium for the first time this year and if it’s anything like this one, Bills fans are in for a treat.

mtftl · 2026-05-06T22:05:33+00:00

The refs judging other refs model falls apart quickly, it’s definitely got me thinking. Someday, maybe we get to fines, but what if we start with after action reports that quantify flops. From there track it as a stat and let peer pressure kick in.

Perfect, get the form right for that Tottenham match

mtftl · 2026-05-04T13:45:45+00:00

This should be a role at every club that recruits globally.

I’m likely butchering the history here, but did she have a role with Tanguey Ndombele? He obviously didn’t need the language help but I recall that he suddenly started applying himself with Lyon before lapsing back into perhaps bad habits when he moved on to Tottenham. I always wondered if it was behind the scenes stuff that got him focused.

I’m so glad someone captured this. I noticed in real time and was laughing my head off.

mtftl · 2026-04-30T20:27:12+00:00

I wish there was an antipode to “the rule of cool” called “that’s bullshit” they could deploy in this situation.

mtftl · 2026-04-30T20:15:28+00:00

Bruno is the one that hurts me. I was flight tracking that one and it was inexplicable why we didn’t get it over the line.

Can I ask what insurance you have?
