  1. I don't think it matters. Even posting something that should be common ground results in a dissenting opinion. Some people are just determined to be miserable.
  2. Turd sandwiches and douchebags fighting it out....same as it ever was.
  3. If Beard wanted him, would you be impressed?
  4. I'm still watching. It does feel like we are being set up for one of the original Tikas to win. Yam Yam, Carolyn, and Carson, have all been getting favorable edits, but as we saw last season, that does not always mean anything. I didn't like how Heidi played her advantage on the vote that sent Matt home. She should have stolen Jaime's and used it on Lauren, which would have forced Lauren to use both of her votes to ensure a tie at worst. It was a missed opportunity to pad her resume, but she chose to use it to protect her social game instead. Yawn.
  5. I'm trying really hard to not get completely sucked in emotionally, but with the Mavs sot in the playoffs, it is nice to have the Rangers playing well, even if it turns out to be temporary. I'm not able to follow most games live, so am dependent on the ESPN or other scrawls for scores. I'll be glad when The NY Rangers are out of the playoffs...gets me every time.
  6. If you put the time required to have a realistic chance into a $15/hour job at DQ, you'd come out ahead. Guaranteed $10k, no risk of losing anything, plus Blizzards. Win, win, win.
  7. You probably saw it referenced in here:
  8. Fair enough. I've been a fan since season 1, but they are certainly making it difficult.
  9. Cuban has certainly fucked up a lot of things, but I don't put this one on him. Brunson was going to the Knicks as soon as possible no matter what Cuban did, and the Knicks tampered to make sure it happened. Brunson's father, of course claims the Mavs never offered to extend Brunson, but I personally believe Cuban on this one.
  10. I have no idea, but I imagine I'll be too busy enjoying the success of our team's basketball program to care. And I don't see any of them claiming that they don't make "I told you so" posts.
  11. Maybe the correct response should be to act like you've been there before? When a person claims that they don't make "I told you so posts," but litters the thread with them, what should the appropriate response be? And shouldn't someone's prediction actually be proven correct before we even need to consider any of this?
  12. You must be mistaken. He doesn't do that.
  13. Remember when Derka said he doesn't make "I told you so" posts? idig fucking remembers.
  14. Still sticking to your claim that you aren't an "I told you so" delusional fuckface? I never made any claims about how successful Terry was going to be. I simply pointed out that he obviously wasn't hired based on his previous head coaching experience, with absolutely zero input on whether that experience should have mattered. The fact that you can't comprehend that does not change the facts of why Terry was hired, why we needed to hire someone in the first place, nor how I feel about any of it. Facts: Beard was fired for cause Terry was hired to replace him I made a post on this thread pointing out that what Terry did in replacement of Beard obviously mattered more in his hiring than his previous head coaching experience, as it was assumed that he would not have been hired before replacing Beard I made no comments on whether his previous coaching experience should have mattered more, simply that it obviously didn't to those who did the hiring I am not happy that Beard is not a good enough person to be our coach, regardless of how great of a coach he is I am not jubilant that Terry was hired, but understand why he was, and likely would not have been excited by any of the realistic alternatives I still have hope that Terry can get the job done in spite of the way-too early "sky is falling" reaction to his first month on the job Derka is a passionate fan who has trouble with rational thought and discussion Those are the fact. I avoid engaging you because, in spite of the positive contributions you make to the site, and especially the basketball forum, you are a petulant ass, incapable of rationally considering any opinion that you don't share. I don't even disagree with you about most of this. You simply misconstrued what I originally posted, and have been on an unwavering crusade to label me as some sort of Terry champion. Now stop pretending that you don't want Terry to fail, stop calling me out, and kindly fuck off.
  15. I don't think Hunter would be reliable in that, or any role. I guess they could video chef statements while they are cooking, and simply have someone who isn't a grating personality read them. Of course at some point, chefs who are better at describing while cooking might have an edge, which could be okay if you consider that a chef skill. I'm not sure that the current solution bothers me that much, other than Simon clearly being worse at it than Justin.
  16. I agree with everything except this. I had this same thought, but when are they supposed to do it? Their dishes are already getting cold/warm as it is, especially for the chef whose food is judged second.
  17. Well, shit. We should have hired him to coach football.
  18. This. Sometimes that will be obvious, but not always.
  19. I agree that Simon is a weakness, though I wonder how much editing is going on during his descriptions. Someone needs to describe the dishes, and it obviously can't be the chefs. I think Justin does a decent job, though he leaves out key details at times as well, which again could be down to editing. I don't know what the solution is here. This may the best they can do while keeping their influence minimal. I don't mind the seeding. It seems fairly random, which is how it probably should be. Hindsight is always going to indicate that some match ups occurred too soon. The luck of the randomizer plays a part in the closeness of some battles as well. I'm still not a Guy fan, but have been able to enjoy the show in spite of him.
  20. This pretty much sums it up for me. I've been more pro-Cuban than most over the years, mostly because he truly does love the team. But this is what happens when a big fan comes into a lot of money and buys a sports franchise. He has not done a great job of surrounding himself with real basketball people. He got lucky with the Nelsons, end especially so with Dirk, but he tends to hire yes men. I would love to see Luka reinvent himself, work on his conditioning, work on his free throws, dedicate himself to being the best defensive player on the team, and stop whining after every non-foul, but I'd be shocked if any of those things happened. I'd be even more shocked to see him agree to restructure his contract for the benefit of the team. I do not expect him to be a Mav in 5 years. I'd almost prefer to build around Kyrie at this point, or blow it all up and start from scratch.
  21. You won't agree that this makes my argument, which is fine. I agree that it isn't the best example, but it reads to me like you spent a lot of time dredging up evidence of how wrong some people were. Maybe it's more of a "look at how stupid everyone else is" than a "look how right I was thing" if you want to split hairs, which I'm sure you do. Just consider it me moving the goalposts again. I'm not going to spend time digging up other examples, as it serves no purpose. Much like Terry's coaching record, your posting history speaks for itself. I'm done. Take the last word if you must.
  22. I'm sure it feels like I'm going out of my way to be argumentative with you, but the truth is, you are arguing with no one. As I am the only one who lacks enough self-control to not respond, you think it's me. You continue to post rebuttals to points that no one is making. You've never explained why you feel it is important to keep harping on Terry's record. Find me one person, just one, who would have offered Terry the head coaching position prior to him taking over for Beard. Should you actually find someone, please feel free to argue with them to your heart's content. In short, you like to put words in other people's mouths. If you are going to do that, I'm going to continue calling you on it. I'm not going to pretend to understand the motivation. We are all wired how we are wired.
  23. Again, where are all these expectations? You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it does. And please educate us, oh wise one. How does being adamant that Terry is destined to live up to his resume help anything? What are you hoping to accomplish other than making people as miserable as you are? Hey, guys. Cool your jets. For the sake of the program, please don't express any optimism, hope, or support for Terry. It is not helpful at all, and is only going to make things worse. What the ever living fuck, man? The silver lining is that, should Terry fail, we'll get to experience you going on and on about how you were right and that the entire board was against you, as we all expected Terry to be more successful than Saints Barnes and Beard. So we have that going for us, which is nice.
  24. Never mind...my sarcasm filter needs servicing.
