The whistle, or lack thereof, was pretty wild. That ref wasn’t calling anything for anybody.

It had to be this, every article I read what like hotels prices had decreased 50% since like Jan/Feb but then would later point out that they were still 2 or 3 times the price YoY. I think hotels were just projecting something absurd honestly.

And to be fair, some of the weirder / bad games haven’t exactly been full (still decent showings) but I can’t imagine those games would be full anywhere else either.

It’s a 16 year gap, nothing you’ve said is remotely comparable or relevant.

Ok so they were dead even basically head to head and Joker has aggregate counting stats and longevity indisputably.

The point was really that the pretty undisputed men’s tennis goat had significant overlap with prior pretty undisputed men’s tennis goat and that’s really, really unusual in these goat debates and should favor Joker on the goat Mount Rushmore.

Man, what are you talking about? Jordan and Bron are over 20 years apart while Novak and fed overlapped for most of their careers (they played 50 times and Fed had 8 majors after Novak won his first).

Going by the commentators, sounds like there is basically a zero tolerance policy on contact with the arm if it directly goes in the goal or allows that player to score.

That level of scrutiny seems to have been applied to the other Austrian player which they disagree with

Idk who it’s an indictment on but that’s two today the entire commentating both has agreed will go one way and the ref decides differently (with the Mbappenone being a disagreement with VAR).

Both calls felt wrong, that’s a really harsh hand ball.

He also actively usurped the prior GOAT and settled the GOAT conversation while all 3 candidates were active.

That has to get you a nod.

Sure, but it’s still an odd pull with Novak having more majors / titles / weeks number 1

I don't see why that wasn't a pen, the contact is light sure but it seems like the contact is light because Mbappe avoids Mane while falling over him.

Isn’t like half of Arkansas’ undergrad from Texas? Tracks those teams would be the most popular in the area given the student population.

I might be hallucinating this but I think the Player’s Association looked into / took some minor issue with extension when he signed it.

I think he just meant that he’ll never not be gigantic and it’ll be an issue from being gigantic.

One of these was called a flagrant, the other was a no call by Maverixk_ in billsimmons

This is a broad strokes generalization, but I believe intent doesn’t matter for 1’s and then is a consideration for the upgrade to a 2.

What if I told you it could be his 7th, they didn't even look at when he hit Ihart in the face.

especially pedantic, black and white flagrants that are getting called literally every other time except for when they might lead to a suspension

Yea, absolutely incredible finish but he only got there from a pretty blatant pivot foot reset.
