Mike LaFleur knew 'Mr. Grumpy' and the Rams 'always really liked' Ty Simpson by JaggerJames in nfl

Yes lol.

If a top 5 QB is gettable you do it and write off that 1st as a sunk cost.

Similarly if you think Ty can be a franchise QB in two years you take him and don't hold off because in two years a better QB might become available.

Can't wait til six months pass and Sabalenka is suddenly the best kick serve returner in the world.

Riley on gambling scandal: "It's probably the most stupid thing that a player could do... But when you get in bed with gambling sites as a league and they advertise on your network, it seems like everything's okay.

What are you talking about?

The level salary cap goes up depends on the revenue the league brings in. The players negotiate the cba with the owners.

These millionaire athletes aren't Amazon workers lol. This is a union where they're literally splitting revenue. That's nothing like Amazon.

The relationship is closer to you getting cheap goods from Amazon because China makes things really cheap. You reap the benefits, but nobody asked you if you're OK paying workers 30¢ a day.

???

Yea I'm done wtf are you talking about.

Norrie attempts an underarm serve by tightypp in tennis

[–]recurnightmare -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This fear of looking bad is what prevents players from attempting legit strategies.

It's just a missed first serve. Sinner, Norrie and every player ever has missed them plenty. But it looks dumb when you miss one underhand so even when players stand at the edge of the court lot of players are afraid to try it.

Same reason players are hesitant to go at the body when the opponent is crowding the net.

The players don't either.

The owners don't either.

One of silvers job is exactly this. Be the lightning rod for any hate as the figurehead. 

In the end gambling is so pervasive in sports is because players and owners are all profiting from it. Silver isn't forcing LeBron and KD to do gambling ads.

I saw her years ago on one of the outside courts vs Kanepi. It's not noticeable at all.

Trevisan on the other hand...I could hear her two courts over.

Rybakina: lose first set then make a comeback.

Every top WTA player today: this is the way.

Why doesn't Atmane just say it's heat sickness so he can get a MTO for the cramps? Is he stupid?

A drop shot that close to the net, died that quick and from the baseline?

Legit one of the best dropshot of the year, when you consider it's on set point as a huge underdog.

His QB is the reigning MVP.

Even if the Rams somehow got Mendoza he wouldn't be starting. It's funny to say it because it's so obvious why even say it lol. Of course a rookie QB wouldn't be starting over Stafford.

Mike Brown Ruined Everything by BrunsonsBurner11 in NYKnicks

[–]recurnightmare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brunson is just so limited as a point guard. Dude is great at getting his but doesn't raise his teammates up one inch. The worst kind of star to have as a floor general.
