    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    I'm sure they're hoping it is. Not sure I'm convinced. There is a weird quirk to the Dvorak deal where if either their 1st or Carolina's 1st (or both) ends up a top 10 pick, then they get to keep the better of the two 1sts. I don't expect Carolina to somehow bomb out to that level, but...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Well he was drafted as a safety, he's definitely been moved to corner this year, but he's basically bottom of the depth chart among our corners and pretty much made the 53 man roster b/c he's a beast as a gunner on special teams. Lets just say if he's actually playing corner for us in a game...

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    This is the main point I was trying to make with the linemate comparison between him and Suter. Dvorak himself is proven goal producer, 15+ in all 4 of the seasons where he played more than 20 games, and 20+ pace each of the last two years if not for covid cutting seasons short. Give him some...

    Btw, that isn't to say I didn't like the Suter signing by the Wings, just that considering the factors their contracts shouldn't be that surprising.

    At 18, but his points per game has been lower each of his next 2 years and his goals per game has gotten worse each consecutive year, too. Meanwhile Dvorak's rates have only gone up. No real surprise Suter was cheaper, only had the single year contract and straight into UFA. Dvorak's...

    Older, but Dvorak is only 25. Not sure how much more upside KK has, either. Aside from '18-'19 when he only played 20 games, Dvorak has seasons of 15, 15, 18, and 17 goals. KK has 22 goals in 3 years. Even more impressive when you figure the 17 goals last year were in only 56 games with the...

    Technically Carolina is $1.5M over the cap right now, any easy moves to get under?

    Not really surprised. Pretty big overpay for a 3C. At least how he looks currently

    This is the route I use. If you're fast enough with your collectable rotations, regen is enough that you don't need to use cordials in between. (assuming optimized gear with high enough GP) White scrip collectable route: 12am/pm node: The Peaks - Rarefied Urunday Log 2am/pm node: The...

    "CB". Guy is basically just a gunner on ST who was a failed safety that they hoped could have some play at corner b/c of his athleticism.

    Soccer 2021/2022

    I think Messi still works pretty fucking hard. Neither guy ever likes coming out of games early, and I'm sure both would play every minute they could. To be fair, frankly any time we talk about them now I just wonder if we'll ever see a prolonged length of dominance by 2 players the way they...

    While this was a nice goal, it wasn't exactly the same thing as the "towering headers" people talk about with Ronaldo. He wasn't going up over defenders to win the ball. I'd agree he's better at most everything else, though

    Were they as good as the tits that got flashed in Vegas as Ovechkin skated around with the Stanley Cup? Confess I forgot the road team won every game, I just remember winning $100 off a friend that postseason b/c he bet me the Dodgers would sweep the Nats in the Division Series, and just how...

    I follow the Nats, but baseball just isn't my favorite sport, can't get into the regular season until September usually, although playoff baseball is great to watch. I just had to poke a little fun you being an Astros guy, since I got to hop on the Nats bandwagon in 2019 as a DC sports guy...

    The info is out there for you to figure it out. There isn't any need to try, your argument was as dumb as can be when you first made it, having to re-visit the basics to keep facts straight is just silly. Everyone else called you out for it, as well. I'm glad I've never been a regular in the...

    We're not seriously going to have to rehash the math again are we? Was something like a $5.6M hit this year, and that was only if they had traded him pre June 1st (post June 1st trade and they would still have been saving $10.5M this season). Yes, the total dead cap money would have been a...

    Come now, coming from you it could be anything from trolling to sarcasm, to just being obscenely off base. Can't expect me to be able to tell when you're actually poking fun at yourself a little bit. You've been the only pompous one in that whole discussion, as you were the only one who made...

    I think it's hopeful to think all the legal shit will be resolved, but it's possible. Lol @ the cap hit shit, they paid that LB someone posted the other day more than it would have actually costed them this year, so all that "impossible b/c of the money" shit is still just as wrong as it was...

    Only because there was more chatter about it, and talks of conditional picks based on how many games he would end up playing. That's the only way I could see anyone actually trading assets for him right now, if it's at a heavily reduced cost if the legal stuff causes issues.

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Obviously, just at last report the Texans were still asking for multiple (up to 3) 1sts plus a little more. Which obviously no one is going to do with all the legal stuff hanging over Watson still. I just wonder if they are really content to continue paying him to sit out the year, hoping...

    Texans would make sense. Although I hear they're going to keep Watson on the 53, he'll just be a healthy scratch every week? Think he still gets paid that way, too. Guess they were demanding too much in trade requests, I heard some team names were heating up on that front, but that they...

    I would like it if we would do this. Especially since Hopkins is suspect on any kick over 40 yards.

    That sounds like a lot of bs haha. Looked so good tonight trying to secure the backup job. Honestly the Steelers should have signed Winston when he got kicked to the curb by Tampa. Their lack of succession plan for whenever Ben finally fully breaks down is kind of sad with their defense and...

    There's levels of dumb, though. When we're comparing world first race guilds to entry level mythic guilds, there is a skill gap. Thus, more gear is required, obviously. It's all relative. I agree after a few weeks of farming those guilds will have more gear than the world first guilds did...

    Mist this can still be an example of a gear check, there's also a basic skill check involved. The greater the lack of basic skill, the greater the gear check to overgear the dumb.

    This is just like how Vick would lead leagues in passing in past game versions when he only topped 3,000 yards passing in a season twice.

    Teddy B named starter in Denver. Probably the right decision for them. With that defense and weapons on offense, I think they could be in the wild card hunt if Teddy plays well and things go their way.

    Granted I'm biased b/c I've mained Bard since 2.0, but it weirds me out when people say it feels awful to play. Bowmage shit in Heavensward felt awful to play, Bard feels better to play now than it ever has to me at 80.

    There's mentality, and the actual numbers I guess. I can just never buy it anytime someone pulls the old Tavares' "our guys don't commit penalties" mentality (granted was when he was with the Isles, not the Leafs).
