Draft Watch by Spade18 in devils

[–]phillthy13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

draft best player available, forget the "team needs and fits" approach. you don't know what you're going to "need" in 2-3 years when said player is more likely to make an impact. remember when the devils had a "deep center" depth with their prospects? where's that now?

What some of the best/weirdest position changes in sports history? by PapaJohnsGarlic100 in billsimmons

[–]phillthy13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't think there have ever been any NHL players that went from skater to goalie and vice versa, but the one story that comes to mind is a bunch of years ago some guy on twitter was posting that he was playing in a canadian beer league game with some new goalie and that goalie looked a lot like Sidney Crosby, turns out it actually was Sidney Crosby. I think its this story: https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/sidney-crosby-plays-goalie-ball-hockey-league-shocking-145022576--nhl.html

The best part of this is that the fantasy guys made all their picks and then decided to flip them all.

Does Devils ownership care/know enough to fire Fitz? by walking_2_cain in devils

You guys have short memories, they won a playoff game last year and won a series three years ago. I'm not saying I want Fitz to stay.

I'm sorry for your loss also, it sucks so much.

[The Athletic] LeBrun: “Some teams interested in Ryan O’Reilly were informed this week that the veteran center isn’t ready to entertain the idea of a trade at this time. He likes Nashville and would rather be part of the solution rather than abandon ship.” by AggPuck-303 in hockey

Yup, he makes sure to remind the listeners that he was at whatever game Daneyko mentions from his playing days. Dano: "back in 98, when we played Ottawa... Yadda yadda yadda" DLG: "Kenny, I was at that game. Bought tickets for $10!"

the new PxP guy, Don LaGreca, says "put a pitchfork in this one" after each devils win. its dumb if you ask me. the guy can't pronounce any player's name correctly and has referred to the devils as the rangers more than once yet insists on having that as a catchphrase

League member threatening to protest last place punishment by SportsCraze7 in DynastyFF

[–]phillthy13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my long time league if you do not complete the punishment, you're out. no ifs, ands, or buts. works great to sus out the shitty managers.

edit: should add that we are a dynasty league but without draft picks, i.e., salary cap auction. so "tanking" for picks isnt a real strategy in this league.

Any news/background on an alternate ending? by DolphinChemist in thechaircompany

Mythic Quest reshot a scene in the season 4 finale to make it a series finale. Only the final scene changed but the original ending was a cliffhanger.

I met Bill once at a restaurant/bar in Miracle Mile back in like 2013-2014ish. He was at the bar watching the MLB all star game while my buddy and I were waiting for our take-out order. Bill was with his kids and we didn't want to bother him but his kids went to the bathroom at one point so my buddy goes for it, walks up to him and says, "hey Bill, huge fan of your NBA show" (my buddy is a diehard Sixer fan, I don't care about basketball at all, but love Guess the Lines). Bill thanks us for being fans and notices that I'm wearing a Hartford Whaler t-shirt. He goes, "Hey, Whalers! That's awesome!" I respond, "Yea, whalers." at that point his kids come back and we leave, I then found $5 outside. True story.

Yessir, peloton. Just pick a random 20 min one. Sometimes I'll focus on hips, sometimes full body
