  1. I usually watch SL every year, just to see our new draft picks and gauge where they are. It's usually lots of slop. I never really think much of 99% of the players.

     

    Am I crazy, or do Jones-Garcia, Minix, CB, and Harper all look like they can play in this league? I usually do not get this high on SL players.

     

    Also, Filipowski looks like he can play too. Dude is kinda nice.

  2. This version of the derby is so dumb. You don't even get to enjoy the HR leaving the park. They're throwing the next pitch while the previous hit is still in the air.

    Me too...Pam Cummings is exactly the sort of fan that doesn't deserve Clark.

    Let that league drift off to the abyss. Sure they have a bit of a bump, not solely, but a LOT to do with Clark...let them be relevant without her.

    You sure have a lot of fierce opinions for somebody who doesn't watch and doesn't care.

    She doesn’t owe the rest of the league a thing. She is saving the business they built into a failure. 
     

    Short of winning a title in season one she has done just about everything else. 

    Who says she owes the league anything?

     

    Charles Barkley says he didn't think Jordan was better than he was until he beat him in the Finals. Was he being disrespectful? Truth of the matter is that every high level pro athlete thinks they are the best. That's kind of how you get to that level.

    basketball is a team sport and she was drafted by the team that had earned that first pick with their play the season prior and still made the playoffs.

     

    He 3 career triple doubles puts her THIRD all time in league history

    Russell Westbrook averaged a triple double one year, so what?

     

    If the rest of the league sucks so badly and she's that far above them she should have no problem winning multiple titles.

    I think the big difference is that Tiger had to blow the field by 12 shots in order to have the amazing impact on the sport (e.g. growing the brand, growing the adverstising money, fan money, brands, merch, and ultimately purses). Caitlin Clark has done all that already without being 10x orders of magnitude better at basketball than the next woman. She's already brought the increased visibility, attention and money to the league and her peers.

    A hobbled Clark on a mediocre team having a struggling season (if that's even true) is still orders of magnitude more valuable and popular than a peer not-named Clark who is having a better season.

    Tiger was already a fan favorite when he won 3 USGA amatuer titles in a row and made mountains of putts in comeback fashion to do it. He still didn't have the respect of the other pros until he won the Masters in 1997 and was undeniably better than all of them.

     

    Seriously, go watch those amatuer title wins. Otherworldly.

    I thought setting the single season assist mark as a rookie PG was one of those moments

    not to mention.......

    r/wnba - Every Caitlin Clark record/milestone this season 🤯

     

    in her rookie season.  She blew the doors off the WNBA and is already a top 5 player in the league based on her play in just one season

    She hasn't won shit. Win shit and the respect comes. That's how it works.

    Yep, I think we have a dynamic and situation, which is kinda interesting (or strange/weird, depending on your view) where we have fans and people who are MORE protective and upset and disturbed by the "hazing" or whatever you'd characterize as a catch-all word for all the garbage she's having to deal with being put on her by her inferiors in the league, than even she (the actual person being put through the crap firsthand) is.

    I think that actually points to her awesome character and mental fortitude and strength-- and it's likely the privilege of having a great support system, starting from her family and community probably when she was an amateur, which has been supplemented now with the best business and strategist minds money can buy from Nike, professional agents, media teams, etc.

    I love Clark and watching her play. She's just hindered with injury this year and her team isn't playing great right now. She hasn't had her "blowing away the Masters field by 12 shots" moment yet that makes her peers have to lay down and say yeah, that's a different type of player than we've ever seen.

    Exactamundo.

    And Tiger Woods to PGA was a lot of the same.

    I think CC gets it and she knows she is a trendsetter and pioneer and just has to get through the hard first seasons. I think history will look back at her as not only the GOAT but the mythical icon of the WNBA a la MJ to the NBA.

    WHY CANT THESE MEAN PGA TOUR PROS EMBRACE TIGER, HE'S GROWING THEIR SPORT

    Just hit me that if a governor/state office really put the camps through the paces on disaster planning maga world woulda shouted it down bc of ‘more regulations’

    Well also, according to the transcribed words of their own city officials, those little kids weren't from there, they are outsiders, so their lives weren't as important.

    When the going gets tough...Blame "the media."   They are the real enemy to 1/2 the country thanks to Trump.

    Where are you hearing this? From someone who actually received the call? The depravity of some never surprise me but neither does rumors that start spreading on Facebook. people start saying they know someone who received the call when they really mean they know someone who forwarded the gossip.

    If that is happening it is likely people from other countries. Scammers never rest and there is no situation beneath them to try and scam innocent victims out of money.

    Phone alerts, etc are all fine and good, but they cannot account for spotty service, do not disturb mode, etc. At this point just put a network of sirens all along 34 and 1340 - basically anywhere in the county in a 100-year flood area along the river. Test them regularly and fire them up whenever there’s a warning at the earliest possible moment. 

    Georgetown has sirens for tornadoes. I wonder if they were used. It hit them at the worst possible time though, as Saturday is usually when they test the sirens, so people may have disregarded it as a test.

    Problem with the Spurs or Dallas ranking?I forget who you root for. 

    You legit didn't even mention SA. Lol. I get not being high on them or ranking them 3rd tier. But a non mention is insulting.

    Clearly the players have grudges and it's going to hurt the league more than help. That's my main point.

    Or maybe the players are the ones who see each other play each night and aren't just voting on name recognition. Maybe CC has been hurt a lot of the year and hasn't been consistently performing up to her standard and there are some other players who are producing at a little better clip right now.

    Yes and that should not prevent her from being voted highly by her peers as she's still one of the top, I don't know...6 in the league even with her poor play?  And you'd never have seen them do this stars in the NBA.

     

    She's not even the most egregious one lol. Kelsey Plum 6th in fan votes 6th in media votes but 16th in the players vote. Where's the outrage?
