    Not sure what Stipe's plan was for this fight. DC got what he wanted. It was like Stipe was surprised by DC's open finger-pointing hands. Great result for DC. His legacy went from HOF'er status to something else.

    Last season was his worst ever, but the dude has a career PER of over 20. His usage rate is the biggest issue. Most replacement level players aren't ball-stoppers and the dude is enough of a defensive liability to where he has to contribute on offense. He's going to have a hard time aging in...

    Him opting in was about that paycheck because he might not get $30M for the rest of his career. The problem with Melo is his ego, not his game. Olympic Melo is amazing but the dude is convinced he's a #1 option not a piece on a championship caliber team. Not sure how good he could be at this...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Also, as was typical for EQ development, the EverQuest TLP teams were reactive instead of proactive. Back in 2006 the game hadn't evolved too much from its 1999-2002 roots. Just limiting zones was a reasonable facsimile to classic, though things were easier. Through the years as EverQuest has...

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    The ambiguity of it all is stupid. We don't have a clue what he tested positive for (or abnormal, if it's a hormone thing). The way they're selling the story is dumb. Four games for "something." Literally a "something" they couldn't find. How that stood up to a 4 game ban is insane.

    Maybe. That's certainly on interpretation. What if Kawhi is forced to play but jogs and hands the ball to the other team, not even attempting to be a professional? All of a sudden he becomes DNP - Coach's Decision. Guaranteed contracts give leverage to players. You can force him to get onto...

    Ball + Rondo makes plenty of sense. They're very similar guys––solid defense, pass-first guys who can rebound but not shoot––so they can run the offense no matter who's on the bench. How does it make sense with LBJ in the picture? I think it gives a sense that LeBron is buying into team ball...

    I think it's an issue all sides would prefer not to go nuclear. I imagine it could open up the team/league to lawsuits and they don't wanna pay out $400 million plus in "future career earnings" claims. Kawhi is medically cleared by a doctor paid to look out for the best interests of the team...

    I'm not sure his "paycuts" aren't a handshake deal with the ownership group for investments later. KD takes a $5 million paycut. Of that $5 million, KD would've taken home just ~$2.5 million. This saves the team $20 million after luxury taxes. Owners agree to invest $10 million into one of...

    Tecia and Sijara are 115'ers from last season's TUF if I recall. The division only has like 10 women so it's not very deep and most have only fought once or maybe twice in UFC so they haven't begun to cut the losers yet.

    He complained about his pay (UFC gave him a slight contract bump after Khabib fight) and said he would only do morning weigh-ins ("because I signed a contract with morning weigh-ins, not afternoon weigh-ins"). Also Al being Al. This is why the dude has fought 3 times in the last 5 years.

    Using 15 year old code isn't the solution. Wasn't their whole dev post how modern hardware (e.g., their servers, your 16-core 512GB VRAM pc) and modern software (e.g., their anti-cheat/CSR tools, your Windows 10) offer too many compromises? They're doing the same thing the EQ team has done...

    Season 1 was incredible in every way. Season 2 struggled in its storytelling – the pacing was wrong and ultimately wasn't compelling.

    Enjoyed this week's episode. Still 100% feel like Ghost Nation week was a waste. With 10 hours per season, they spent an entire hour saying, doing, and showing nothing. Also +1 to binging and not watching weekly. If we're waiting for 2 years anyway, what's 2 months to enjoy the thing.
