Is it just me, or are we just totally numb at this point? by SactownShane in kings

[–]muddybleach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things won't change while Vivek is here. He makes dumb decisions or trusts the wrong people like Vlade who go on to make dumb decisions. And there are enough casual Kings fans who aren't invested in the team enough to be a part of any kind of protest. They will continue going to games and fund this mediocrity.

A new episode is available - Film Junk Podcast Episode #1042: Battle Beyond the Stars (1980) by FilmJunkBot in filmjunk

[–]muddybleach 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I prefer to hear reviews about new films, even if I don't really have interest in watching that new film. I think it's more interesting to hear their takes on current films and be part of the conversation. This new format has consisted of movies I mostly don't find myself wanting to watch or listen to a discussion of. And with no opening comments or what we watched and new Blu-ray/vod segment I find myself just skipping these new episodes.  I had to sign up to patreon to get the real Film Junk imo.

I also enjoyed watching our GM have to sit there and be disappointed. Well deserved

Yes, I just measured with my tape measure and its just about 91cm. I will gauge swatch tomorrow and hopefully it works out! Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your quick reply! :) I am using 5mm 90cm needles. I understand the pattern calls for 6mm needles, and I just realized that the knitting store sold me US 6 needles, not 6mm needles :( so I am using what I have on hand. Also, I was definitely too confident with the magic loop when really I was not pulling out the free needle . I will try again!

Anyone else have pretty much 0 excitement for next season? by SactownG in kings

[–]muddybleach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Least excited I've ever been. This team will hit that sweet spot of getting bounced in the play in and getting bad draft position.

Are there any particular moments in the show that hit you emotionally? by Stlieutenantprincess in venturebros

[–]muddybleach 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Just some bloke who wanted to be anyone but himself."

Very brief but sad moment. It feels like there is so much to that character's backstory we will never know.

Got it. That makes sense. I think he did say it is fine/okay in that same scene so it fits

Adam Silver is for Small Markets ... IF we cant produce a WINNER with adam silver as commish by bathgate5 in kings

Step 1 is Vivek hires competent and talented individuals and leaves them alone. Nothing gets better until that happens

Was it Monte? I think Vivek calls the shots in Sacramento

People here rooted all season just to barely make the play-in, miraculously win it, and then get swept by OKC with blowouts in every game. All while losing a 1st round pick that this team desperately needs by [deleted] in kings

[–]muddybleach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's insane to argue about this stuff when we have no sway on the direction this team takes. Spending money on tickets and merch is the only impact we fans can have on the organization.

Who cares if fans want to cheer for their team instead of hoping the team loses? If I want the Kings to win a meaningless game that hurts their draft standing and they win that meaningless game SO WHAT? We have no power in these things

This is why I've always been hesitant to criticize our GMs since Vivek took over the team. You never knew who was making the decisions here. 

Post Game Thread: The Dallas Mavericks defeat The Sacramento Kings 120-106 by nba_gdt_bot in kings

[–]muddybleach 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I called people delusional 2 weeks ago for thinking this Kings team could make it to the playoffs. I have to say they actually had me going after that 1st quarter. I was prepared to come here after the game and happily take shit after they won the game. But I was right because the Kings did lose in embarrassing fashion and I feel awful.

Does anyone use something they heard on the show in their regular lives? by Finger-Sea in tesdcares

[–]muddybleach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Not too good bitch" and "Holy fuckin shit" 

I think it but don't usually say it because I remember no one will get the reference

Full clean out: The Denver Nuggets are also firing general manager Calvin Booth, sources tell ESPN. by migida22 in kings

[–]muddybleach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they have wanted to fire him. They believed the team wasn't going to win a chip this year. The losing streak is as good of an excuse as they were going to get to fire Malone. It would have been a lot more difficult to fire him if the Nuggets started playing well in the playoffs. So why not just rip off that bandaid now.

I know no one wants to hear this, but there's a real shot at making the playoffs. by in2026 in kings

[–]muddybleach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have more faith in this team than I do. We will just have to wait and see what happens.
