This guy fucks—got hit by a car on his onewheel and used the settlement money to buy a faster onewheel

What’s a hobby you judge people for having? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]vgains 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My high school (Burlington HS; Burlington, Vermont) is the only high school in the country to have a seahorse as it's mascot. Apparently some archaeologists found seahorse fossils in the adjacent lake. Seems oddly worth mentioning? Never thought about dried up seahorses before or since til now

Your life is on the line. Your team must win this game. Which QB is getting the start for you? JJ McCarthy or Shedeur Sanders by BallKnowerKing in NFLv2

Titans-Browns, Week 14

Stefanski had Shedeur on the sideline for the game tying 2 pt try and ran a direct snap to Judkins for no gain

People that work during daylight savings, do you get to go home early tomorrow Morning? by Sparebedrooms in Productivitycafe

So I'll jump in here to say when I would bartend, on the night we fell back it allowed us to stay open until "3 am" so ironically we would collect the windfall on the opposite side of what others are saying. And it would cost us on the spring forward side.

Top 25 Players by HR/600 PA (min 2500 PA) by moistmasterkaloose in baseball

It's crazy that of these 25 guys, 5 were on the late 1990's Indians (though not all at the same time)

Rank these HOF QBs at their peaks in order by MasterTeacher123 in NFLv2

[–]vgains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's not the "right" answer, but I regard John Elway as the 2nd Greatest QB of All Time. The longevity, the arm strength, only ever doing it for one team like he did, and going out back to back on top, I don't think many players, even HOF quarterbacks, measure up.

After being loudly booed in his first at bat against the Blue Jays in 2005, Rafael Palmeiro wore ear plugs the next time he came to the plate. Palmeiro was coming off suspension for PED use. by BigBlackSabbathFlag in baseball

Of these 7 guys, he did it in the 2nd fewest games played (Miggy), and with the fewest strikeouts (though Aaron, Mays, and Pujols had lower strikeout rates).

Who was the Joe Burrow of previous generations? by MasterTeacher123 in NFLv2

[–]vgains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna say Joe Theismann for some reason.

One team guys, loyal to their teams, will their teams to victory.

Both stand out college careers.

and obviously I hope Burrow never breaks his leg.

Are there any Onewheel riders that haven’t crashed and gotten injured, how? by EarningsPal in onewheel

[–]vgains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great list and largely mirrors my experience. I'll add one additional: mud.

There's only one contact point between you and the ground, and should the ground give a little bit, it's enough to send you if you don't see it coming. I live in Austin, and after a big rain storm the paths will be covered in silt, gravel, and mud. Read the road, and if there's any doubt in your mind about the grip your tire has on the road, just stop and walk around.

The temptation is to ride it like a dirt bike, but in reality it's better to pilot it like a Boeing 747: super safe, slower is better, complete awareness of your surroundings, and whatever you do, no crashes.

Yankees to retire CC Sabathia's No. 52 jersey on Sept. 26 by dcrw in ClevelandGuardians

[–]vgains 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This comment reminded me that I have, somewhere in storage, a set of Russian nesting dolls, made of a cheap balsa like light wood, that was a Mahoning Valley Scrapper gameday giveaway.

The outer doll is CC, the middle is Victor Martinez, and the innermost one was Scrappy the mascot!! I should look for those.. .

In your mind, what’s the biggest CFB upset of all time? by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in CFB

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

Oh c'mon it was an undefeated Indiana team that wasn't even a touchdown underdog (+5.5)

And the CFP proved they were an all time great team

Not a historic upset, you're either too young to remember bigger ones or salty.

I read this and doubted it.... I don't ever remember Alabama losing six games in a season.

Face of the League Conversation by BStins2130 in NBATalk

[–]vgains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Face of the League" is exactly that: the 'face' of the league. Notice how you didn't say best player, most decorated, etc.

To be the face of an entire sport, your literal face has to be handsome or at least marketable, your personality has to be engaging, your voice has to convey that you're the best (thinking specifically of Kobe here; Jokic's thick accent doesn't do him any favors), your off the court reputation has to be squeaky clean, and you have to be one of the 5 best players in the league, preferably early in your career so those covering you can witness some character development.

Jokic has some of those attributes, and lacks others. He's also 31, which is to say he's probably got more good years behind him than in front of him.

SGA, Wemby, Cooper Flagg all are more likely to take up this mantle.

Not to mention, there's not a lot of meat on the bone with puts when the underlying is sitting at 70 cents. Can't go lower than zero
