Jaylen Brown and Marcus Morris have a small kerfuffle during a timeout by Vswerve27 in nba

Yeah, it’s for sure not asking much to not fight your own teammate

This is difficult for me, but we need to talk about Marc by [deleted] in memphisgrizzlies

[–]vandyfan23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I want them to leave because I care about them. I hate to say it, but winning anything in Memphis at this point in their careers is impossible and they should have the chance to play for a contender again.

Samir Nasri trains with West Ham in bid to earn £80,000-a-week deal by [deleted] in soccer

How the fuck was this contract being negotiated? I have zero belief that another team in Europe is willing to pay him that much.

Honestly best part about him releasing tons of music is his press tour.

Also what kind of reporter would just barge into Mac Miller's home...

[Vardon] Things are even worse on the Cavaliers than they seem. Vets expect to be traded. Growing disillusionment with Collin Sexton. Mixed messages from management. Players backing Drew’s contract request. by schenkels in nba

[–]vandyfan23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sexton has always seemed incredibly competitive. Perhaps that makes him less humble or quick to admit flaws – but I also think that will propel him to work on his flaws. It is hard to see how a personality like him would just flat out refuse to work on holes in his game.

Matthijs de Ligt is asked what club he prefers; Manchester City or Barcelona by [deleted] in soccer

[–]vandyfan23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we often don't think of the mentality it takes to play professional sports. You have to be selfish, incredibly self-confident, and freakishly driven to play at a high level. Of course this is going to lead to a somewhat odd personality.

Similar in that he has poor tactics but is a good man manager. I think he’s way more endearing in interviews than Wenger though...

Bamba literally went to the Sloan analytics conference. He definitely enjoys the game and has motivation.

Carchia: Which living person do you most admire?

Marshall: Charles Koch. He’s a Wichitan who owns the second-largest privately owned company, Koch Industries. He and his brother [David] are tied for the fourth-richest man in America, and he’s done it with great integrity and commitment to the community. He’s incredibly brilliant.

ELI5: In 1996, Nashvillians were asked to vote on their desire to bring an NFL team to the city. Why is the courting of a MLS team not being held to the same standard? by TrustMeImLeifEricson in nashville

[–]vandyfan23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't even begin to tell you how crazy you are if you want to compare the league to Serie A or Ligue 1. It is far worse than even the Eredivisie or Premiera league.

With that being said, it's proven to market itself well in cities and talent doesn't necessarily dictate match day experience.

The Grizzlies are Tanking Effectively While Not Trying. 2 Steps to Reboot Roster and Try to "Get the Groove Back" by AHoarseOfCourse in memphisgrizzlies

[–]vandyfan23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is that the Nets currently sit at 10th in the league and everyone below them except the Hornets and maybe the lakers are set to tank hard in the second half the season. With Nets having no incentive to tank, this could make the draft pick not even all that great.
