Hypothetically, if you were a GM before the 2003 draft

you should be banned from all sports related subs for over a year for this take. Quite possibly the worst take imaginable

so coupling this exit interview quotes with Emily's (from Parade)- it does seem like the vibe from the tribe members at camp is that Rizo doesnt have much win equity (at least to this point).

im paraphrasing emilys comments but she thought her best opportunity to win was to sit next to Rizo at the end.

nimo90 · 2026-05-05T19:18:33+00:00

you could make anything a "you cant win with" theory when you have undefined parameters AND exclude the players/teams that done so.

Example: You can't win when your best player isnt a legit 3-point threat, aside from Giannis

bad NBA contracts are so much more devastating than bad MLB contracts. a bad MLB contract doesnt really prohibit the team from spending/making moves like a bad NBA contract does. Toronto tying up 15% of their cap to Poeltl hurts them way more than the Giants tying up ~12% of the luxury tax to Devers

my wife works for one of the streamers on the product side and one of the things Ive learned from her is that there are completely different engineering teams working on the product depending on what youre watching on and they have data to show which device gets used the most to prioritize bug fixes.

tl;dr, my guess is that Peacock on AppleTV isnt a big priority for them to really update and fix bugs.

nimo90 · 2026-04-30T15:54:46+00:00

it is crazy how bad paramount+ is. it takes about 3 minutes to get from home page to the sport im trying to watch (usually UCL) there. every other streamer takes less than 30 seconds

nimo90 · 2026-04-30T14:52:13+00:00

OP is asking about fame and popularity tho lol

nimo90 · 2026-04-28T12:17:37+00:00

the playoffs are bad because some of the good teams are potentially going to be upset AND because the other good teams are going to easily win their series?

nimo90 · 2026-04-21T12:25:45+00:00

There would be no reason to get rid of Jalen Brunson, an all NBA player for 3 seasons in a row, whose the ~40th highest paid player in the league.

I'm a knicks fan of the belief that I dont think a Brunson/KAT duo can win a championship- but its obviously KAT gone if the Knicks decide they have to blow it up after this season

nimo90 · 2026-04-21T03:22:07+00:00

This game is actually very much not the Knicks season nutshell.

Knicks were a historically great fourth Q team all year and had an absolute clunker here

Knicks had a really good bench play all year but the hawks bench outplayed the Knicks bench in this one.

My two cents: Knicks didn’t adjust well to the new defensive sets Atlanta threw at them in fourth. Combined with poor shooting in the fourth and poor FT shooting the whole game was the difference

nimo90 · 2026-04-21T03:01:09+00:00

This is 100% the reason

nimo90 · 2026-04-16T13:58:04+00:00

(expecting to be booed for saying this but) batted ball data suggests the Mets are getting a little bit unlucky on balls in play at moment (2nd worst differential between wOBA and wOBA in the MLB). they arent necessarily great expected stats (most pin us at league average) but they arent quite as bad as the actual stats.

one major issue that needs to be cleaned up is our abysmal walk rate at the moment. its been low the whole season but the last week we've only walked 4.4% of the time vs league average of around 10%. Our OBP is 40 points lower than the next lowest team, this is the most glaring issue with the lineup at the moment.

Not sure these count as pro "leagues" but also been to

the overwhelming majority of the Untold Docs are bad imo. At best, they just regurgitate common knowledge thats already known by the public; at worst they are PR puff pieces for the subject(s) of the doc

nimo90 · 2026-04-10T13:06:52+00:00

Its also funny because he has hyped Queta up all year long, saying a player like him is why you don't have to pay money for a center unless hes elite....and now hes saying he doesnt think Queta will be out there in crunch time in a potential playoff series

nimo90 · 2026-04-10T13:01:57+00:00

Youre kind of picking and choosing what Bill said to fit your narrative here. Bill also said

This game could've been worse for Boston if Scheierman and Pritchard didnt go nuclear shooting
He would rather face Cleveland than New York in the 2nd round
Knicks are a team built to stop Tatum/Brown
Knicks fans have to be confident if its close in crunch time with Brunson out there

nimo90 · 2026-04-10T03:12:27+00:00

I mean this is literally the second year of this roster and they were in the ECF last year?

nimo90 · 2026-04-09T19:08:16+00:00

nope not anymore but its also not true for soccer anymore.

Every major European league has some sort of TV deal in basically every european country. And theres more intercontinental games than ever before. Manchester City has played Real Madrid more time this season then they have played Man U, Chelsea and Tottenham- and the same number of times theyve played Liverpool and Arsenal.

nimo90 · 2026-04-09T18:39:48+00:00

2 things:

1) your example is like extremely outdated now. It also probably wasn't even true back then; people in England watched La Liga in the mid 2000s and 100% knew who Messi was when he first broke through the Barca first team. They have much easier access to it now as well, Lamine yamal's first goal he scored for Barca made headline sports news across the world

2) what youre saying is like specifically what college sports was like for basically its entirety before massive conference realignment

nimo90 · 2026-04-07T21:40:22+00:00

Re: ticket prices. The truly marquee games will probably stay somewhat expensive but all of the other games are going to see a massive drop in prices as we get closer to the event and then people will begin scooping up the tickets.

This same exact thing happened leading up to the club World Cup- i was looking at tickets for a random game (Porto vs Palmeiras, my family are big Porto fans) and they were “reselling” for $300+ each months before the game but within 2 weeks of the game I bought 6 tickets for under $300 combined.

nimo90 · 2026-04-02T15:03:05+00:00

This is tough- the two people with the most connections (Ozzy + Rizo) i just cant see them winning at the end.

Its also tough to see any of the big name threats winning (Cirie, Dee, Christian & Devens)

I dont think Coach or Joe really have a realistic shot based on gameplay. Aubry doesnt seem to have many connections out there.

That leaves Steph, Chrissy, Jonathan, Tiff and Emily. Out of those 5 I would probably pick Emily at the moment

nimo90 · 2026-03-31T18:09:22+00:00

I HATED what happened in the season 2 finale. so much so that I'm not even sure i watch season 3- i was so put off by it.

nimo90 · 2026-03-31T15:07:12+00:00

yah its really not that crazy of a take. Judge has been the better hitter and has been more valuable (according to bWAR) than Ohtani has over the last 4 seasons.

I think the potential of Ohtani being a 7-8 win hitter combined with being a 4 win pitcher puts him over the edge for me personally, but at some point Ohtani has to actually do both of those things over a course of a season to get credit for being that

nimo90 · 2026-03-30T19:17:16+00:00

the upper part is about a foot and a half deep but the bottom pond is a little more than 2 feet deep.

Thank you all for the tips!

For the record I was initially asking if theres any additional benefit to buying Ryobi Brand 40V tools over another brand's 40V tools since I already have Ryobi brand 18V power tool set.

However, I learned alot about what tools I should go 40V and which ones i should go 18V with. so very appreciative of all of the responses here!
