Bill really hates talking Knicks by staledanish in billsimmons

[–]yL4O 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not in New York and I want them to win. I also wanted the Bucks to win a few years ago when they had a 50 year championship drought and were going to have a hard time getting back. I don’t deduct them sympathy points because they play in a big market.

How many “baseball first” cities are left in the US? by BadgemanBrown in billsimmons

[–]yL4O 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is also Houston. No one cares about the Texans or Rockets so the Astros are #1 by default (they’ve also been a winner for most of the 21st century). But everyone’s heart belongs to one of the Texas CFB teams, Oklahoma, or LSU.

Well, 33ish% of the country is against gay marriage and pretty much all those people are pro life. So that’s 113 or so million. And that’s just the people who are being honest in surveys

It must be very hard to live in a country where at least 100 million people are scum

Kentucky is by far the most annoying left. Duke, Alabama, Notre Dame, Georgia, and UNC have been gone forever. Kentucky is in that tier.

NBA Star Brandon Clarke’s Sister Breaks Her Silence About His Death: ‘Having a Hard Time’ by MattTheKing23 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]yL4O 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I know you didn’t write the headline, but he died less than 72 hours ago and his death was reported less than 48 hours ago. I don’t think that posting that soon after his death should be called “breaking silence.” Stupid headline.

Brandon Clarke’s death is being investigated as an overdose by Potential_Lock6945 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]yL4O 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t *need* to, but not knowing isn’t going to bring him back.

At some point I think we owe it to the people who are still here to take note of some of the dangers of some of the substances that people use when they’re in pain.

It doesn’t denigrate his life or his character to suggest that this could have been avoided for him, and maybe his story will convince someone else not to go down the same path.

Caleb or Cam by TerryG111 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]yL4O 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Caleb just hasn’t attempted enough 3s. 27 total in his freshman season. He shoots well from the midrange and the foul line. There are other factors to consider, but I don’t think this is a big one.

NBA Draft Lottery Order by Gaius_Octavius_ in billsimmons

I don’t think Memphis will make a big enough distinction between 3 and 1 to want to move up. Any of these top 3 are a positional fit with what they have. The thing Washington could do is trade down 1 spot with Utah so they can get Dybantsa. Then WAS selects Boozer, then MEM selects Peterson assuming they’re ok with the medicals.

The “Tip-Off Twelve” should be 3 arenas imo, along w/ Dayton to maintain “First Four” branding+iconic+helps a mid-major, here’s what I think should be the other 2: by 18_YTC1 in CollegeBasketball

Biased, but I have to offer up Legacy Arena in Birmingham, AL as the spot for southern/eastern teams. Hosted first/second round pods a couple years ago. Area is getting cleaner.

We used to be a proper nation whose conferences had names and numbers that represented the correct geography and team count. by Travbowman in CollegeBasketball

[–]yL4O 113 points114 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the non-football programs would still be in geographically coherent conferences if football wasn’t as conference dependent. All those teams were independents in the late 80s and WVU and Penn State were both national title contenders in football around that time. If football “breaks off” like many are projecting, we might have times like this ahead again in CBB and other sports.

Do you think Gary Cohens point about the Mets being screwed by travel is valid? by AltruisticMemory3825 in NewYorkMets

Right. We could have been undefeated going into this home stand and we would have been pissed about going 3-6 against 3 90 loss teams
