    That's not how it works. You have a ~5/100 chance 4 times, which is like 20/400, or 5% overall for the Nets pick. Rockets have a very slim chance of getting their pick upgraded, so it will likely be the 9th overall pick from the Nets and nothing else.  

    I’m pulling numbers off Tankathon, which is usually pretty accurate. NBA assigns teams a number of different number combinations based on how many losses they have. Houston owns the number combinations for their pick (until that combo is not in the top 4) and the number combinations for the Nets. So yes, the odds of #1 or a top 4 pick between the two are additive. If you want to get into the odds which one is top 4 and which one isn’t, you need to do some factorials.

    the football forum is more appropriate for his sendoff given his association with the rise of the local sports reporter as symbiotic with the franchise he (now he/she) covered

    When the core intent is not to inform the public, but to make money on advertisements it's not hard to see how perverse incentives can inevitably steer things in this direction. It'll take deaths from missing critical safety information like an impending tornado for anything to actually change

    Except it won’t change. Society jumped the shark of faux sensationalism sometime after the dawn of the internet. Every storm is the deadliest ever. Applies to everything, not just weather. Most people don’t take it seriously, but gotta get clicks from the people who do.

    Were kids in the 70s frequently sick or dying from unknown reasons that we just didn’t talk about? In twelve years with hundreds of kids, I can’t recall even a single mention of nut allergies. No warnings at school, no BOLOs at Halloween, not a peep. What the fuck happened?

    A lot of people say GMOs in wheat and other produce have triggered severe allergic conditions in people predisposed, but I like to think it’s nature punishing humans for veering too far from our carnivore roots. Nobody ever got a life threatening reaction to brisket or a ribeye in their shoe!

    5 years of rookie wage contract with potential star WR with no history of being a malcontent? Diggs having a 50-50 chance of melting down once he realizes he’s going to get less than 30% of the targets? Even if Diggs plays well, he’s a one year rental, I’d expect Mitchell or Worthy to be more than capable as WR3 with Tank, Nico, and Schultz. [this is all fan fiction. Caserio wouldn’t flip Diggs]

    Effectively they’d be trading the Vikings 2025 2nd rounder for this year’s #32. Chiefs wouldn’t do it unless they thought Diggs guaranteed them their 3 peat and they had to pay a premium because Buffalo wouldn’t trade him directly to them.

    Bills banned one NFL team from trying to make a trade for Stefon Diggs, per report

    When the Buffalo Bills decided to put Stefon Diggs on the trade market, they were willing to make a deal with almost anyone, but there is one team in the NFL that they refused to make a trade with: The Kansas City Chiefs. 

     

    Can we quick flip Diggs to the Chiefs for the #32 pick and take Mitchell or Worthy instead?

  7. How often does it get covered by insurance under 50 without symptoms or personal/family history? Seems like it becoming common in younger people but they don’t tell people to do it until they turn 50.

    I think that is and has always been a rule. It is just not an onside. The recovering team has to recover the ball in play, if the kicking team recovers after 10 yards its their ball. 

    I was talking about the new kickoff. The ball has to land behind the return team’s line and I think it’s dead until a returner touches it. I was proposing with the new kickoff format, to make it a live ball as soon as it touches the ground or any return team player and could be dropped into the neutral zone between the lines, rather than behind both lines.

    Oh, like CJ Stroud?

    Exactly. Who wasn’t nervous about him given how Ohio St QBs had fared in the NFL? I’m sure today everyone will say it was obvious he was a better passer than Bryce Young and will provide their 2022-2023 message board receipts to prove it. CJ apparently was an accurate QB that could’ve hit tight windows but didn’t need to in college. 

  10. You always have to wonder about a college QB who throws to wide open future first round pick receivers, is he an awesome QB or just in a very favorable position?

  11. Why can’t they make it where the kicker can drop it anywhere past the 35 (or the area between where the two teams line up) and it’s a recoverable, live ball? Keeps the onside and surprise onside still in play.

  12. Manfred and MLB won’t do shit against the Dodgers or Yankees. What they say happened is the least logical and about every other explanation would terrible for them. Their changing stories a couple times makes it even less credible. That was a well crafted denial written by the Dodger lawyers though.
