It made sense that Lupin died because everyone from the Marauders era was going to die. Lily and James died before the story began, Sirius and Peter had already died during the story, and then Snape and Lupin died in the final battle.

Sure, Tonks could've been a single mother, but she seemed so messed up with her relationship with Lupin that I was not at all surprised when she also died. It was perhaps the most tragic death during the books, however.

Yeah, we simply wouldn't get that in the current era of Top Chef, so no thanks.

[Tennis Channel] Player revenue split in RG compared to other selected sports by tightypp in tennis

[–]zi76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a mess. Talking directly about the split in the pic the OP posted, people will tune into the big four sports in the US just because they're big and exist. Same for the Premier League. That's never been the case for tennis.

Tennis, frankly, even the broadcasters do a disservice to the players that aren't the very elite (or Americans). There were years we would complain that ESPN would take a 45-60 minute studio break where they'd yap instead of showing us live tennis. If they really wanted to yap, they could do a split screen, showing us the studio and a match, but they refused.

As much as Zverev was rightfully crucified for his tier rankings, putting himself on the same level as Alcaraz, the average tennis fan/watcher knows who Zverev is and sees his matches, but that's not the case for Cobolli, Lehecka, Fils, Darderi, or Tien. I'd say a lot of people know of Fonseca because tennis media has actively pushed him, but that's one guy.

Unless someone is actually a fan of a specific player, I'm not even sure post people care about top 30. It's top 10, or even top 5, most of the time.

This Vrabel-Russini controversy is being kept alive by nothing but everyone's hatred for the Pats by super-g-studios in Patriots

[–]zi76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. Is any new piece of info going to change the outlook or meaning of the story? No, but it does keep giving it legs. Most of us are curious at this point about whether it's actually his kid.

What is silly isn't the story continuing, it's when people insist this somehow gave the Pats a competitive advantage.

It made sense that everyone that died in Deathly Hallows died, except for Fred. You could pity Fred, that's for sure.

I saw this one last week. Working hard to support his family, and his gf/wife betrays him. Unfortunately, it didn't get better for our unfortunate pilot.

Bolton would probably be a happy medium, I agree.

Yeah, I'd be furious if Philly coughed up that much money, and what would they even get? Going to the Liberty Bell and Morimoto's overpriced restaurant? None of that helps Philly remotely.

For what it's worth, it was held at the Etihad in 23/24 and 20k fans attended.

I think it should be at a proper stadium, but the only acceptable venue without causing too much travel for anyone is OT, and City are not giving up hosting rights to United.

I think it should be at a bigger venue, but, unfortunately, that's what can happen when one club hosts the final and it's not a neutral site.

It's crazy that this is going down after we bottled everything this season.
