  1. 28 teams are in the off season, trades are already being talked about. Here is an idea for the last team eliminated: Orlando: Karl-Anthony Towns Minni: Jett Howard Moody K. Looney J. Issac #18 pick Golden State: Wendell Carter Why would they do it? Orlando: KAT would move back to the 5 and is an upgrade over Carter. Would be a good compliment as a #2 to PB. They are giving up on Howard (rumors). Minni: Salary dump and player grab. They are way over the apron. This allows them to turn 1 long term mega contract into 5 guys who could all be traded at the deadline if needed. Get a couple of young wings to try out. Issac and McDaniel with Gobert might be best D front court ever. GS: Carter fits much better than Looney as he can go inside and out. Moody’s time is done. The Money works.
  2. Yes they are - but those are the ones they are using for the MLB stats.
  3. The 2 early Negro League greats who pioneered integration. Both in their prime and both HOFers Larry Doby Last year in NL: .365/.437/.592/1.030 First year in MLB: .301/.384/.490/.873 Jackie Robinson Last year in NL: .375/.449/.600/1.049 First year in MLB: .297/.383/.427/.810 I don’t think you can find one instance of an established player coming from the NL and even coming close to equaling their stats in the MLB. These players are great and had to go through hell to finally integrate the game. But it wasn’t the same level of competition.
  4. Luka is going to be first $80 million player. Then maybe first $100m
  5. I've known several people that have sailed west from Panama, through the canal, across the Pacific, through the Suez, into the med, across the Atlantic and back to Panama. They must all be part of the conspiracy to keep the truth hidden for reasons.
  6. The real point is since the dawn of humanity, the few have used "God", "God's word", "God talking to only me" to control the many. This control is economic, physical and monetary. It's all bullshit, but people have fallen for it over and over and over again. This control mechanism has been a direct result in most of the horrors, hate and war humanity has suffered. Without this the world would be a much better place It's not really up for debate as far as I am aware.
  7. In 1943, Josh Gibson is credited with a career high 116 hits, the only time he is credited with more than 100 hits in a season, on his way to a .466 batting average. Unfortunately he didn’t win the batting title that year…Tetelo Vargas pounded out a .471 average to take home the crown and the title of the greatest hitter in mlb single season history.
  8. I’m pretty confident that since ~1925 the records are pretty accurate. Pre-1920s records should be struck imo. I get your point however.
  9. My final point about MLB records, if you play in the major leagues you are guaranteed to play against a team filled with major league players. There have only been a few instances of gimmick players being used. In the Negro league, this simply was not the case. In many instances guys were literally pulled off the streets (or out of the stands) into the game. It just simply can’t be judged the same way. It’s fine that we say it was fucked up to not have black players integrated into the game. It’s fine we say it’s a mistake. But combining the records is idiotic. I use to watch 200+ games a year, I was the director of a baseball video game franchise, I’ve spent an all-star game as the guest of Jay Johnstone (when he did TWIB), I’m met many of the games greats. I’ve gone to Spring Training with the mariners. I’ve stood in the box against Randy Johnson. This year I’ve watched 0 games. Last year maybe 5 innings. The game has lost me. This is just another stupid decision in a string of them.
  10. You didn’t hit me up, I know a few places
  11. what about a sub to taptalk? It is pretty nasty with ads now 🤩
  12. Not having Lively is a pretty big deal
  13. KAT is the most inconsistent player ever. He can be Embiid one game and Bol Bol the next.
  14. Not to mention, their “god” hasn’t been too kind to them. Hundreds of years of slavery in Egypt, 40 years wandering the desert, killing Gods son, getting kicked off “their” land, the holocaust, etc. Maybe they should find a better god, there are thousands to pick from and I’m use any of them would have a better ROI.
  15. Joey Wright/Travis Mays
  16. The Jewish high priest took 2 goats into the temple. He sliced the neck of one of the goats and drained the blood as an offering to God. Then he held the 2nd goat close and confessed the sins of the Israeli people. He then carried the goat to a cliff at the edge of the city and threw it over, removing the sins from Jerusalem. Thus the word Scapegoat was invented. Also this is Yom Kippur, the most holy day for Jewish people. All of it is batshit crazy…
  17. It’s ridiculous. Records weren’t even kept for many of the games. Even when they were kept, they weren’t 100% accurate. It was a different league. Crazy revisionist history.
  18. It is nuts that a small group of literally crazy Christian evangelists seeking the end times have dictated our policy towards Israel and thus our participation in war crimes and genocide. My entire life I have heard “remember the holocaust and never left it happen again!”. Welp, it’s fucking happening…I didn’t forget.
  19. He was more Jokic than Dirk. He could pass, he could board, had the floater and putback game. I bet he could have moved out to the 3pt line in today’s game also.
  20. Ooopsie!
  21. No matter how hot they are, someone is tired of their shit.
  22. I learned today that Dallas has a dude named Fudge.
  23. They will never have a separate car for a race. Way too costly. Maybe the use all 3 tires for 10+ laps each could work, but then it’s just a pit stop race. Still boring.
  24. I feel sorry for her boyfriend. After fucking her a few times I bet he is questioning his life choices.
  25. Congrats Charles! Congrats Charles!
