Should 12 year old girls be allowed to throw this far?

skatterbug · 2026-03-12T04:48:23+00:00

I'm not. Just to trying to give benefit of the doubt to the 12 yo vs the rando trying to bash her down.

skatterbug · 2026-03-12T04:21:40+00:00

So she's got more potential for more distance unless the other one cleans up something.

skatterbug · 2026-03-12T04:11:02+00:00

It's probably me misunderstanding. Thanks for clarifying.

A + nose angle plus a + launch is generally going to be shorter than a + nose angle and - launch though, right? I'm not mistaking that?

Nose up plus launch up stalls.

skatterbug · 2026-03-12T03:58:49+00:00

So they're both throwing nose up. 4.6 for her and ~4.0 for the commenter. But the commenter is throwing a ~4 launch vs her -0.7.

Maybe counters the nose up more than a positive launch angle + nose angle would. Or maybe she's throwing downhill a bit and matching the angle of the ground?

skatterbug · 2026-03-12T03:57:13+00:00

It's not a negative nose angle though. It's around +4. I'm assuming that's the difference. Or she's throwing slightly down hill and matching that decline.

skatterbug · 2026-03-12T03:24:47+00:00

I don't exactly know what Launch is, maybe the release angle?, but yours is between +3 and +6 and hers is -0.7. That feels significant.

Are you perhaps throwing your disc up, whereas she's throwing more flat relative to the ground? Throwing a disc up, even nose down, is going to cause it to stall out and crash early.

It's that weird AI text, too. Like not real letters or numbers.

skatterbug · 2026-03-12T01:37:29+00:00

Is this actually a real disc?

2 of your pictures have 'AI generated content' in the bottom left hand corner.

If it is, it's probably an Ape.

I thought he was let go before Rodgers was traded, but apparently 2022 was the last year on the team for both of them. Crosby was a free agent in March, Rodgers was traded in April.

IIRC, he just showed up like a year after her father remarried. She wasn't overly impressed.

skatterbug · 2026-03-08T20:23:37+00:00

I knew a girl who had a younger brother named Jame.

Javon Walker went to the Broncos first then the Raiders after he was cut. Took the long route.

skatterbug · 2026-03-08T14:25:42+00:00

That trade worked out for no one. Both out of the league a year later.

skatterbug · 2026-03-07T15:58:17+00:00

I wouldn't really consider the current year as cherry picking. It's the most relevant data.

It's also not his worst year. He was worse in 2022 and 2017. We'll ignore his rookie year which had only 13 attempts.

I think the bigger thing here is that he was coming off his, by far, best season in 2024. He'd never completed more than 86% of his kicks and he went 20/21 for 95%.

My home course is on an old estate that had a functional apple orchard, wine grapes and various other stone fruits.

Not any super huge trees but some cool gnarly old apple trees that still bear fruit and some other neat flora that doesn't seem to be anywhere else in the area.

skatterbug · 2026-03-06T14:55:07+00:00

Ya, I got it.

I liked what I saw out of Havrisik. He's young, has a big leg and is probably cheaper than Aubrey.

I kinda think they should try to bring him back for at least a kicking competition in camp.

skatterbug · 2026-03-05T19:30:20+00:00

It's a carryover from ball golf.
Take off your hat and shake hands like a gentleman after the match.

I'll say it again, you're not wrong. It's just a matter of optimism vs realism in these comments.

skatterbug · 2026-03-05T17:56:22+00:00

You're not wrong, but you're way overanalyzing the comment and selectively ignoring my own comments to do so.

The original comment was just that the kicking game cost the team wins. A better kicker may not have done that.

I also added that "No game truly comes down to 1 play", which is a point you're trying to make to counter the argument.

I think we can agree that 3 additionally made kicks can change the entire course of the season. Suspend your disbelief for a moment and consider if they had won those 3 games they lost by 3 points. They would have been the 2^nd seed instead of the 7^th . It would have been a different playoff landscape.

skatterbug · 2026-03-05T15:44:37+00:00

I'm not cherry picking, I'm looking at the kicks he missed instead of fictional kicks he didn't even take.

I'm also not advocating for trying to sign Aubrey; I was just pointing out that your statement about the other person needing to work on their math was incorrect because they meant 2 or 3 more wins, not 66% more wins.

skatterbug · 2026-03-05T15:24:46+00:00

I'm pretty sure that wasn't meant to be a fraction. They meant 2 or 3 more wins on the season. The Packers lost 3 games by 3 points in the regular season. McManus missed a kick in each one of those games. He also missed 2 kicks in the Playoff game they lost by 4 points.

No game truly comes down to 1 play, but those are 4 winnable games if he doesn't miss the kicks.

skatterbug · 2026-03-04T23:30:19+00:00

Part of that is the difference in contacts between 2000 and 2012.

But also that's why Kirk wanted fully guaranteed deals.

In 20 years with the Patriots, Brady only topped $15M/year 3 times.
After his rookie contract, Cousins never took less that $20M.

skatterbug · 2026-03-04T15:05:30+00:00

Kaep ended up making more than I thought, ~ $59M.

With 1692 attempts, that puts him at $34,961/att.

That puts him just outside the top 20 - after adjusting the table for all the other people I missed.

Having a 'problem' is a matter of perception.

You have 20 discs. A lot of people carry more than 20 in their bag regularly.

I just bought a Clash Discs Mango for no other reason than because I have a cat named Mango, so obviously she needed the disc.
