    Xbox Megathread

    Exactly - I was saying this 6 months ago and its even more valid today. Its an insane amount of money to spend for a gaming company - maybe somewhat rational when money was cheap, but today? Blizzard's stock price would probably be in the $40-$50 dollare range today if not for this deal on the...

    No, you were making a broader point that you're an idiot who spouts shit without understanding the context of what you're responding to. If you think context shouldn't be taken into consideration then you're a true retard and not a real sports fan. A 50/50 call that gets a guy ejected in game...

    Learn reading comprehension, I was talking about the 2016 suspension. I actually agreed above that a suspension was warranted in this case. At the same time, I can also see the viewpoint that the suspension was excessive given the circumstances. Sabonis fouled Klay, flopped (and tried to pull...

    He was only suspended in 2016 because of the cumulative techs and flagrants. It was only a technical, and that was enough to trigger the suspension. I think I shouldn't have even been a technical, especially considering the circumstances. This was worse for sure, but the suspension outcome...

    Funny you say this because Sabonis to me is fouling Klay when the ball is up - has his arm wrapped around him - and then we he can't use that get the position he wants - he flops. He either flops, or Klay may have stepped on his foot, can't tell from that angle. Either way, its his own fault...

    Mavs probably understood, but they likely would have struggled to make it that far again, definitely would have struggled to make it further, without changes. Will point out again that even if the Kyrie deal doesn't work out and he just leaves, it frees up contract space sooner rather than...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Not as long as they would have been able to for the past decade+. They just announced another 10k layoffs in addition to the first 18k. I wouldnt think this is in any immediate danger considering the initial rights cost, but overall they don't have nearly as much money they can afford to burn now.

    Was weird that they were especially overhyped this year. Many picked them to come put of the west, because they added... Another perennially injured guy in John Wall? I mean sure they have a shot if they actually had a 3-4 month string of health, but I never would have favored them.

    Silver lining on if he bails is that they have a near max contract slot available after this year that they wouldn't have had otherwise.

    If they're trading for average player contracts like that, they'll get at least one first out of it. If I were the Nets, I'd honestly rather see him walk for nothing and force his hand. If he refuses to play out the season then you don't pay him. In that scenario, what Kyrie should do is play...

    Nets have no incentive to move him for contracts and second rounders. If that's the best offer they should just keep him and dare him to sit out the rest of the season. They are contenders if he just changes his mind, the same way KD did earlier this year. I'm not helping another team unless...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Look like a fucked up kick from the start. Even if it did hit a wire - need 5 more of those to make up for the "catch call". In the end though, none of these details matter when the Niners are down to their 4th string QB.

    Not a Lebron fan by any means, but he was blatantly fouled on the play, and the missed call was the reason they lost the game. Every win / loss is huge in the west right now, of course he was upset.

    Why would you be shocked if they don't make waves this summer? They'll still be over the cap, with a bunch of overpaid role players, and no real assets to deal. The only way they could trade for Siakam is if they do one of those 3 firsts + 4 swaps trades.

    I think this trash had to be as far off the Silmarilion as possible so they wouldn't get sued. Maybe they intentionally picked writers who had never read it so there was no chance of being influenced by it, hah. Someday a good Silmarilion adaptation will be brought to screen. Would be nice...
