  1. Odds that Homelander kills Soldier Boy in the last minutes of the season?
  2. Seems like an odd forum for this thread. Hopefully he didn’t get AIDS peed into his butt. Nonetheless, T&P to you, MaC!
  3. He was only worth a 5th because the rest of the NFL had Cleveland over a barrel. Mayfield’s $18M was fully guaranteed. Cleveland still pays $10.5, Carolina pays $4.5, Mayfields agrees to eat $3M to facilitate trade. Carolina will also be paying the full $18.5M fifth year to Sam Darnold, LOL.
  4. Shit from China is always cheap.
  5. “Are they better for it?” and “was it worth the risk to take a shot?” are two different questions. In hindsight, it failed. Are they actually better today than if they’d taken another path? Who knows? They had Jarrett Allen, LaVert, Dinwiddie, all their draft picks, and enough cap room to sign two max players. Today they have Ben Simmons on max, Joe Harris at 2yr/$40M, lost their next six first rounders altogether or after pick swaps, and whatever they get after unloading KD and Irving. They can’t take another “rookie max” guy so their trade options for “star” players are very limited. Sounds like they may get Westbrook and some other trash for Irving. I doubt whatever they get back for KD will be better than 3 firsts, 3 pick swaps, Allen, LaVert, and Dinwiddie. But y’all are sure they will be better off in ‘23 than ‘19?
  6. See also: Al Queda The world needs more of those new lifelike sex robots asap. Sell them cheap on incel message boards and carpet bomb them onto Saudi, Yemen, Oman, and Iran.
  7. Did the posters who said it was about looking cool never dip? You get a nice buzz, sometimes a different buzz when done with alcohol, it’s an appetite suppressant, and keeps you alert for times like driving at night. I never thought it made me look cool and typically hid it. I was only a casual user (2-3 cans a month) in my 20s, then met my future wife who said she wouldn’t date me unless I quit. Quit cold turkey for two years, then went to work (at a biotech company of all places) where 50% of the male employees dipped all the time, at their desks, in conference room meetings, in the car on the way to sales calls. I jumped right back in for a few years until my wife got pregnant 6 years ago. I wouldn’t call it relapsing, but about once a year if doing a long drive by myself I might stop by the gas station and get some bandit pouches for the roadie and it’s a nice nostalgic feeling. Never felt the urge to do it regularly again, but I treat it like the occasional cigar. Good luck to the rest of you quitters!
  8. My 5 yo brought another Omicron home from preschool last Friday. We all got it mid-February as well (PCR confirmed) from their previous daycare. Nobody ever had a fever this round. Unvaxxed 5yo and unvaxxed 3yo with runny nose and cough for 5 days then tested negative. Wife and I are triple Moderna’d plus the previous Omicron infection, and this round my wife was asymptomatic while I had 36 hour headache and stuffy sinus, scratchy throat, barking cough. Today was my third day without symptoms but I still tested positive.
  9. As much as a I hate the Lakers, and Lebron, and Kyrie, it would disgust me to see them make such a one sided trade and get bailed out of their destruction. But as a Rockets fan, I enjoy draft capital being tied to a team with a backcourt of Westbrook and Ben Simmons. That lineup might struggle to hit more 3’s than teams predating the shot clock.
  10. …and more stupid shit like this… Lakers: “Sure we’ll let you have Westbrook for Irving, but only if you throw in Curry as a sweetener!”
  11. Yeah, but you’d think Durant alone would yield at least the S&T Ayton plus two firsts, and the dumb proposal I quoted had the Nets giving up both Durant and Irving for that. Yes, the Spurs were the salary dumpee in a 3 or 4 way trade that accepts Westbrook. I think it had Richardson going back to the Lakers. Spurs got LA ‘27, LA ‘29, and a first from the Suns. The writer must’ve been a Lakers homer based on what LA got vs what they gave up (or dumped).
  12. I’ve seen shit tweets and “news articles” like this nonstop for the past two days. Are Lakers fans and the media thinking if they say it enough, they will convince the Nets and the rest of the world that the Nets should give up Irving for a 2027 first and have to take on Westbrook? All these stories talk about Westbrook like he’s still a star and valued asset. One ridiculous “proposed trade” was 4-way with Suns (get Durant) and Spurs (get dumped with Westbrook for 3 firsts)…the Nets would be giving up Durant and Irving and only getting back Ayton and two firsts…and it’s totes fair that Bron Bron gets Kyrie for Westbrook a single first!
  13. So you believe they traded for Harden against KD’s wishes? If so, I guess he can blame the team for the situation and be justified to move on. But re: the rage in your post, I think you may be confusing my single post for some ongoing debate against KD. I am definitely in the camp against star players 1. bailing on their team while under contract 2. Demanding specific destinations so the current team cannot get fair value in return. It is particularly disgusting when their contractual obligations are made in bad faith (e.g. Deshaun Watson and Texans), or players leave teams in shambles after they pulled the strings to wreck the franchise’s future (Lebron twice in Cleveland, and now in LA).
  14. Ok then the devil’s advocate still says KD can’t hold Brooklyn accountable for having Kyrie and his crazy antics when KD knew what he was signing up for, and presumably endorsed if not requested the Harden trade. Brooklyn’s only real faults were making the stupid Harden trade from Houston, and then making the slightly less stupid Harden-Simmons trade. I hope the NFL and NBA owners (sorry, “governors”) take control and put their feet down on these star divas demanding trades to specific teams. It is uncompetitive and terrible for teams and fan bases losing homegrown stars, or in this case stars that the franchise mortgaged the future to get. The boogie man is that one team tells a star to take a hike and they get blacklisted by agents and figure free agents. Ok well what if all the teams agree to put an end to this bullshit?
  15. Yeah, well my expectations after TLJ and the box office bust couldn’t have been lower and I found Solo to be merely worse than Attack of the Clones. I was surprised by and enjoyed the Maul cameo too.
  16. The Lakers should offer Westbrook to Minnesota for two firsts and cash considerations.
  17. Solo did poorly at the box office because it came out after TLJ and there was serious (and justified IMO) Rian Johnson backlash, not because they recast younger versions of Han and Lando. I waited for it to come out online and was surprised how much I enjoyed it.
  18. My FIL passed all his medicals going into AF after playing D3 football, then after a couple years they found the cartilage in both his knees was so shredded he needed bilateral knee replacements. He put off the total knees until he was 35, but until then they had put him on the forward command setup squad, managing install crews for electrical and HVAC. After the surgery, they made him a recruiter and let him live in his original hometown until he hit his years for full retirement and benefits. It was a hell of a gig for him. He expects my sons to be flight surgeons before going into private practice and is hatching a plan to get AF to pay for their undergrad and med school. More power to him if he can swing it.
  19. Ok but couldn’t you have got someone better that Gobert for 5 first round picks? Did inflation affect NBA trades too? I remember when (allegedly peak) James Harden was only worth 3 firsts and 3 pick swaps.
  20. Is Nate Heupel the inbred love child of Nate Hybl and Josh Heupel?
  21. Who knew back when the Twolves had Garnett, Marbury, and Tom Gugliotta that it would be peak for the franchise?
  22. Next summer’s class sucks. They will either have to acquire a big name/contract via trade or hold off until free agent class of ‘24.
