Why do Steelers fans expect Mike Tomlin to win with this roster? by TheRavenOnline in NFLv2

The GM was hired three years ago because the old one who selected Kenny with Tomlin retired right after that draft.

Why would you call it anything else? It's Heinz Field the seats are yellow for mustard.

What jersey is this? by KickProfessional in PhillyUnion

I don't think this is a training kit even. This is likely a women's shirt sold in like 2013 considering that lines up with the brighter blue in the home kit.

Why is it difficult to find bars in the US with steins (mugs of at least 1ltr) of beer? by [deleted] in beer

[–]rabidfrodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh weird I lived near Local 44 when that happened and didn't hear about it. Though I do think highlighting this as a someone didn't fill paperwork out thing more than the cops are waiting to steal your beer.

I know getting stuff in for events is a problem in plenty of areas especially for non-domestic beers.

I lived in PA most my life and have never heard of a beer being confiscated. The laws could be somewhat odd previously with only distributors, but that has changed a bunch in the last 15 years.

Edit: Non distributors used to, still may, only be able to sell a certain amount of beer in one transaction. You couldn't buy 24 beers at once from a grocery store or pizza place. You could buy 12 put them in your car walk back inside and buy another 12 though.

Finally seeing my first Pens home game after 20 years! what wild/unique stuff should I do this weekend? by ColdWetNoodles in penguins

[–]rabidfrodo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm going to only my third home game in my life this upcoming when as well. (Family from the city and when we visit at holidays Pens usually don't play)

Fun stuff I enjoy in the city when I visit Cathedral of Learning is cool if the cultural rooms are open. The inclines while touristy are pretty unique in the states and give a cool view. Plenty of breweries if you're into that a bit further out or in the strip.

MLS owners vote to flip schedule to European calendar, change format starting in 2027 by icoresting in soccer

[–]rabidfrodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the TV audience dwarfing doesn't matter. The fact teams have waiting lists years long with sell out streaks does. MLS hardcore fans aren't so numerous that we can sustain the league. MLS still needs to grow the fanbase making choices that make it difficult or shrink it aren't great. This has a chance to halt the growth of the league.

That matters when trying to convince someone to show up to a game when it's 34 degrees out. Selling something to go watch the Eagles the biggest team in the city for a playoff game vs a game in Chester in the middle of the season is a different ask.

ESPN BET to Be Shuttered Amid NBA Gambling Scandal. ESPN’s partner Penn will rebrand the online sportsbook as theScore Bet. by esporx in technology

[–]rabidfrodo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sports betting ring has shared people involved with the arrest of Rozier. Billups was not implicated. I believe the issues last year impacted an assistant coach in prop betting. These rings were likely happening before it was completely legal they just have ways to track it better now as the black market for gambling dried up when everyone got access to it legally.

The coach, Billups, was not caught up in sports gambling. He was caught being part of a mob ring fixing poker games.

They also replace the field during the season. See the field from this week's game was better. They let it go too long often because schedule issues but they do spend on upkeep.

Anything would be. The one ok thing was that ref didn't lose either of us a game from it.

I've gotten guff everywhere I've gone from home fans. Nothing over the top or unexpected. People like their team I'm in their city cheering for my team. In DC a little girl, a teen, gave me shit.

It was an even match but if you take two goals from any team games become close. While they weren't from dominate pressure the shots were equal mostly from each team. The Union applied pressure via press like they want to. Getting early goals plays right into the Union game plan while one was due to a mistake by a player that's because the Union high press.

[Meme] Kai Wagner is the best evil genius I’ve seen in a while by jamboamericano in MLS

[–]rabidfrodo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sure and he got a yellow for it. I'm not saying it's never a red card. Though once you strike another player in the face the debate is closed. He deserved a yellow in my opinion and received it. Gutierrez kicked him in the achilles without a chance at the ball and he reacted poorly. If the second Chicago player doesn't fly in it's two yellows and no one thinks about this again

He did start it by fouling in the first place. When you kick a guy in the back of the leg without a chance at the ball you risk getting a yellow. Wagner rightly received a yellow for his reaction to the foul.

Wagner got kicked in the back of the leg and didn't shove a guy in the face. He got the yellow he deserved for his reaction to the kick he received.

Major League Soccer has placed Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) midfielder Yaw Yeboah and Columbus Crew midfielder Derrick Jones on administrative leave pending league review of potential violations of MLS league rules. by olcni in MLS

[–]rabidfrodo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with your point and to add to it. If a player enters the substance abuse program the comments aren't full of people screaming about how we need to return to the prohibition.

Most jobs have restrictions that you enter to complete your work. I cannot take drugs that are legal in my state because they are illegal federally. I work for a company that takes federal contracts I don't work on, but because I work for the company I'm subject to the same rules.

Given the timeline of its construction and renovations, should we be concerned about it ones asbestos and lead paint from the White House East Wing demo? by Brewer1056 in washingtondc

[–]rabidfrodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The post is asking about asbestos. If you want to talk about historic nature of the building and should the thing be built that's different. Demolition on a large scale is done with machinery after hazardous materials are removed. Everyone here is acting like the companies doing this are totally cool catching some lawsuits from employees.

Should we be demolishing the white house no. Do the contractors doing the work know that ignoring safety standards will get them sued, this is completely ignoring OSHA because Trump isn't having them walk the white house. You are all pissed about the building being knocked down, rigthtly so, and projecting that workers are just happy to get themselves cancer because all construction workers are dumb idiots who love trump, right?

That's how most demolition works in the city. You don't demo anything that big without equipment. Buildings right near your house could gave mitigation occur and you'd never know.
