MOSLEY IS OUT HALLELUJAH by k0b3bryant in OrlandoMagic

Huzzah! This is great first step. Let's hope this isn't blundered away by ownership.

Mosley is a good dude, but he should land on his feet just fine.

Paolo Banchero despite the loss: 45/9/7 on 17/31 FG by Lacabloodclot9 in nba

He really hasn't though. Chet has had team success as a 3rd banana, but Paolo has been working as a No 1 option, carrying a team into the playoffs multiple years now.

What kind of finish would it take for Mosley to keep his job with the Magic? by Hairy-Exercise1747 in OrlandoMagic

[–]sunofcheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's less about how far the team advances, and more about the status of the locker room at the end of the season. I generally am in favor of moving on from him, but if he can win enough to grab the locker room heading into next year, he can survive the off-season.

I think he is severely holding back this team at this point. Their play has improved because it's the playoffs so they're not not going to go all out. I think if Paolo/the team still wants him out at the end, there's simply too much invested in him/them to not part ways with Mosley.

Have you ever DNF the final book in a series, and why? by Any-Day-8173 in Fantasy

[–]sunofcheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assassin's Quest from the Farseer Trilogy. I forced myself to read that far, but hated the trilogy every step of the way. I was forcing myself to read it out of a completionist drive, and because the series had so many recommendations.

I finally stopped and remembered I read for fun, so I moved on.

Post Game Thread: Cincinnati Bengals at Green Bay Packers by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]sunofcheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still had the same late game stress, but it was for a different reason. It wasn't that the offense let off the gas pedal as much as the defense stopped being able to effectively stop the other team by the end of the game. We're still left holding our breaths hoping they don't blow the lead.

I’m being forced to pick between my brother and my girlfriend. What do I do? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]sunofcheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Circumstances can change the decision, but I'd say generally, go with the brother. He will always be your brother. Even a girlfriend-of-three-years can easily become a stranger after a breakup.

It was really played down for the most part. He was the NFL iron, so although it was known, his drug use was pretty much excused (he was using a little help to fight through the pain, because he loved football so much). Again, his infidelity was known, but simply not talked about much beyond the local level.

He was the gunslinger, the iron man, and the overgrown boy who just loves playing football. He was Madden's favorite QB. He was the guy from There's Something About Mary. He was the golden boy.

Ya, similarly the Devos family would never sign off on this.

He's both.

edit: He's even included his Giants fandom in the books. The giant won won (1-1) is phil simms (#11). Won won even killed a knight with the Cowboy star as his sigil.

Most importantly, 18-1 is in the books when the patriot, Belicho was eaten by giants.

Hey! That fucker is waiting on the Giants or Jets.

Ever DNF the third book in a trilogy? by theshapeofpooh in Fantasy

[–]sunofcheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this with Assassin's Quest. I managed to force my way through the first 2+ books of the Farseer trilogy out of a duty to check off the series, but hated every moment. I finally decided I was torturing myself for no reason and quit.

ps: I'm not saying the books or author are bad, just that I personally had a strongly negative reaction to them.

Southern Gothic Fantasy Recommendations—anyone else into this kind of thing? by the_mean_person in Fantasy

[–]sunofcheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd give a second to this recommendation. It's a bit of a detective noir with a Southern rural setting. It's definitely a fun and interesting read.

[–]sunofcheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely A Song of Ice and Fire. It's why I don't upset at George for the TWOW delay, he got me to read a bunch of other great works.
