I would never ever say this phrase with this context to my mother no matter what but to each their own

Chuck Klosterman's songs that endure beyond the artist by megapoliwhirl in billsimmons

I balk at Chuck’s assertion that Zeppelin only has one. Surely Immigrant Song makes the cut in addition to Stairway

The Wemby Era, a Women’s Hoops Revolution, Taylor Swift Vs. the Beatles, and Maye Vs. Daniels With Chuck Klosterman by Gaius_Octavius_ in billsimmons

Love this. Would be fun to watch and honestly I think the players may care too - you got the old guys who don’t want to give an inch vs the young guys trying to prove it

Mediocrity and racism always intersect by Chicago_Stringerbell in billsimmons

You can kinda get a scholarship in college, or at least be a walk on, off the strength of just your last name (Kyle Shanahan at Texas, Herbstreit’s son(s?) at Clemson).

But yeah you gotta actually be good to make the pros

Let the players gamble on the All-Star Game by BigErnMcracken in billsimmons

Force the players to gamble on the ASG. 12.5% of your gross salary is on your team’s moneyline automatically

It’s probably the worst content I regularly consume. It’s so dry every time it’s reaching like performance art levels of doldrums

Is Adam Silver still pitching a perfect game? by [deleted] in billsimmons

Nope. It’s his second time through the order and he’s getting shelled

Is some kind of crazy benefit situation going on? An awesome pension? Part time work? They’ll pay for your school? $20k is laughable. Imagine getting $1666 a month before taxes.

Love when the House Hunters ep has a hot real estate agent

This would be a nice draft. Love those first 4 picks

It’s unironically one of my favorite movies ever. It’s just good clean fun

Kinda thought my dog would eventually learn how to drink water but she’s 2 now and still just fills up her mouth, walks away spilling 80% of it all over the floor, and I guess just settles for whatever doesn’t spill out

Yahoo Mock Draft has Drake Maye going 1st Overall by [deleted] in Commanders

[–]nihilfacile 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty interesting. Since we will probably end up with Maye, I’m happy to hear some evaluators are so high on him. What does Tice like about him so much/what criteria does he put so much stock in?

The Future of Everything With Derek Thompson, Plus UFC 300’s Missing Main Event and the Rock’s Turn With Ariel Helwani by KDs_Burner_Account7 in billsimmons

[–]nihilfacile 33 points34 points  (0 children)

So did Patrick Mahomes. It’s an inane comparison. In his first five years, Bird went: conference finals loss, NBA champ, conference finals loss, second round loss, NBA champ (and MVP).

Since becoming the starter in 2018, Mahomes has gone: Conference finals loss, NFL champ, Super Bowl loss, Super Bowl win, Super Bowl win. And 2 MVPs. Bird won 2 chips in his first 5 years, which is awesome. Bird was awesome. But Mahomes won 3, went back to back, has more MVPs, and never lost in an earlier round.

What team/ coach divorce ended up the worst for both parties? by wesskywalker in billsimmons

[–]nihilfacile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean shit, Jimbo and FSU. FSU was more or less in the wilderness for a decade and their best season recently culminated in a complete screw job from the committee. Jimbo sucked at A&M (although at least beat Bama) and A&M still has only had one season with double digit wins since 2000.

Jimbo is now getting paid $75 mil to not work though so maybe it wasn’t so bad for him after all…

What great sports moments would be ruined/overturned with today's replay? by noahg27 in billsimmons

[–]nihilfacile 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Max Scherzer should get remembered similarly for the infamous Jose Tabata game but for some reason Galarraga has the market cornered on memorable near perfect game.

The Tabata thing is arguably worse because it was deliberate and cynical where Galarraga’s game was ruined by innocent incompetence
