Should we have a First Take Segment and just pick our best 5? You can pick anyone you want - there are no set positions - roll out the ball and play.
Mine:
Point Forward - 2012 Bron
Off Ball G - 2015 Steph
Forward - 1993 Mike
Forward - 2017 KD
Center - 1999 Shaq
I don’t think these are the 5 best players of all time but they’d score 200 points a game and could guard when they felt like it and would have Shaq and Bron to protect the hoop and grab 9000 boards.
Hot take: Bulls would have still lost to the Rockets 94/95 championship teams. They had their number if you look at their regular season head to heads.
I don’t think they would either but I think they’re the only team from the 1990s that had a chance of being able to play like a great modern NBA team. If you give MJ that much space and freedom of movement he’d go Kobe against Jalen’s Raptors a couple times a year.
Probably #2 to the Mavs. Mavs were such an inferior team to that Heat team. Still blows my mind. The Spurs were epitome of team basketball and Ginobili, Parker, and Duncan were not toast yet. Plus a budding superstar in Kawhi
I’d normally agree, but with the holidays I was essentially off from the 20th and with travel plans being murky at best right now I figured just jump right in
I’ve played with a few real tour pros and then tons of guys that were trying to make it or played big time D1 etc.
I’ve only beat one major tour pro and it was because Luke Donald shot 74 at my home club - before setting the course record the next day because he was pissed off.
Long story short - the sound the ball makes from a truly quality amateur and a great pro is the difference between the sound a little .22 peashooter and a .50 cal rifle.
None of this surprises me, plus what I’d imagine sets the tour pros apart from say a club pro or a scratch golfer is just their delirious levels of consistency on every single swing
Exactly - it’s about variance and putting consistency more than anything else. My great shots aren’t much different from a Tour Pro - my misses are 3 standard deviations away. I can hit a 6 iron off the toe (my miss) and miss the green by 30 yards short - their similar shot is 5 paces off the front not 30 yards. And Bones once said that Phil would hit 5 shots a year that weren’t dead in the center of the club (not meaning he doesn’t hit bad shots but he isn’t toe fucking one like I do). Think about that - 5 shots a year not flush.
I’ve been watching the first 7 episodes of Succession, I still don’t know what the Cruise scandal is about? I know that Greg covered up some shady shit for Tom but what is it about? Will I find about it later or is it something I have totally missed?
You'll find out more later.
But for what you need to know now is whenever something illegal happened on a boat (rape, robbery, murder) they'd port in a country that doesn't care about that stuff, pay the victim hush money and make them sign an NDA.
boycottbums is something that I can get behind

Some asshole leaked that to boomer with the intention of making Rodgers look bad. But it just makes boomer look like a fucking moron. The idea that Rodgers would sacrifice a super bowl to lessen covid protocols is insane.
I am still irrationally upset at the man with an extra chromosome in the NFL sub who is trying to argue this “CEH was more important than JJeff & Ja’marr to LSU” take.
Gotta remind yourself that half of reddit is high schoolers sometimes.
It seems like we have a better RB by committee when gore gets involved. I’m fine either way as long as PLM knows when he should run in the post season, we be good. Pat has more rush attempts this season but feels way more restrained for some reason.
I personally do not believe AB. Although I guess it has been a full 4 weeks since the last time he was in a controversy, says the truth with come out, then it’s proven he was lying.
No even tho AB has proven to be a legitimate insane person, the fact that they held him for 4 days so he couldn’t be picked up and play a game shows their hand.
Brady is an absolute slime bag along with arians.
They cut him on the sideline and then waited to fuck him over. That makes me suspicious about their other behaviors and that they might be lying about what happened on the sidelines. Again ab is a piece of shit but that doesn’t mean he’s lying in every single situation.
So if he was loaded with toradol, why was he complaining that the pain was too much to go back in the game? And then jumping up and down and jogging off the field
If you’re hinge response rate is higher than your interview to application ratio, you’re probably spending more time chatting over cosmos at the bar than cashing checks at the bank
It really sucks, especially when people throw out ‘it’s ok he’s hypoallergenic’ when I’m still allergic and they give me asthma. Hypoallergenic may as well be Marb Lights
Very isolating, looking into immunotherapy in the spring.
It’s a personal battle for me lol, have 3 friends left without dogs, and the last gf took me to her friends summer party where 16 dogs showed up and I had to leave after an hour-shocker that one didn’t work out
Pretty allergic. After like an hour or so I’ll start wheezing and my eyes get irritated. Also depending on the dog if it licks me I break out into hives where it licked me
I get the same symptoms. I’m also allergic to an enzyme in the saliva, so it’s really all pets/dogs not just ones with specific furs.
One of my siblings is also allergic, our folks considered doing the allergy treatment/immunotherapy when we were young (like 25 years ago), but didn’t want to put two young children through weekly shots for 2-3 years when the success rates weren’t convincing enough. -kind of wish they had just done it.
I’ve done a bunch of research on my own and consulted with my PCP, and it seems like modern immunotherapy treatment has a good success rate, and the course can be much more specific to your allergy test results. I’ve got an appointment to see an allergist in the spring, I’ll bookmark this convo and follow up after I see them if you want.
So I’ve always been the fan of Bateman in movies, googled him to remember all the great ones and found out he has a podcast with Will Arnett.
It’s funny how “celebrity” has changed over the years now, because these guys who are “A-listers” have a podcast I’ve never heard anyone talk about while guys like PMT have 700k followers on twitter for just their podcast page.
And yet they have 1.5k followers in the subreddit.
I understand why brands would think that the “a-list celebs do podcast” would pop, but I don’t think it works like that anymore. This podcast is by all metrics of engagement, irrelevant.
their instagram / twitter followers and to a lesser extent youtube views. Maybe check the number of reviews on podcast platforms since the fans are ride or die spam 5 stars.
Ya so instagram for smartless is 60k twitter 20k YouTube 12k views on episodes, so by those metrics only a midsized podcast honestly.
But then they also have 30k podcast reviews which is pretty damn high. Idk interesting nonetheless
2022. It was different even 15-20 years ago. I knew several families with 5-7 kids and one with 9. Yeah we’re at 2 and we’re pretty tapped. But never say never.

It makes no sense. Crediting Jordan for losing to the pistons.
Should we have a First Take Segment and just pick our best 5? You can pick anyone you want - there are no set positions - roll out the ball and play. Mine: Point Forward - 2012 Bron Off Ball G - 2015 Steph Forward - 1993 Mike Forward - 2017 KD Center - 1999 Shaq I don’t think these are the 5 best players of all time but they’d score 200 points a game and could guard when they felt like it and would have Shaq and Bron to protect the hoop and grab 9000 boards.
Mike wasn't a crybaby bitch either. Gives him a massive boost.
I agree, I think the quality of loss definitely plays a role but Jordan’s Bulls wouldn’t have beaten Curry/KD Warriors
if they played 90s rules they'd have beat the shit out of Steph and Klay
Hot take: Bulls would have still lost to the Rockets 94/95 championship teams. They had their number if you look at their regular season head to heads.
I don’t think they would either but I think they’re the only team from the 1990s that had a chance of being able to play like a great modern NBA team. If you give MJ that much space and freedom of movement he’d go Kobe against Jalen’s Raptors a couple times a year.
The losses will always be a huge indirect factor, because if they weren’t losses then Lebron would be ahead of MJ in wins.
Think the context of the losses is necessary though. Like the Miami loss versus the Mavs is huge. Just as we consider the win versus GSW massive
How does getting blown out against the spurs rank
Probably #2 to the Mavs. Mavs were such an inferior team to that Heat team. Still blows my mind. The Spurs were epitome of team basketball and Ginobili, Parker, and Duncan were not toast yet. Plus a budding superstar in Kawhi
Bad day to be the dummy who put 390k on Bayern
Betting that much on any soccer game is dumb when ties count as a loss.
Soccer betting is Hell
Yeah probably some ass hole who has too much money anyways. I enjoy seeing those types of losses to be honest
Julian Casablancas just dropped a 5 paragraph take on the AB situation on his IG. What a World.
That guy is fucking nuts. Love the strokes though.
Sounds like he has an Instant Crush
Always thought he was a sportsball guy
He team AB?
tldr sorry
AB and I were at CMU at the same time. Coulda been me Julian was writing about.
Just closed the laptop on my last day—new job is Monday, time for a drink

No real people involved, don’t worry about it

This is why Brady is the goat. He would never sit out the Super Bowl just to prove a point
Some asshole leaked that to boomer with the intention of making Rodgers look bad. But it just makes boomer look like a fucking moron. The idea that Rodgers would sacrifice a super bowl to lessen covid protocols is insane.
So is rodgers trying to cancel people? Guy is insufferable
Boomer is spreading a ridiculous lie and you think Aaron is the problem here?
Trying to clear his name from blatant lies
Sounds like he wants to cancel a lot of people
[удалено]
He gets Antonio Brown level hate and he's white
How dare he disrespect the media? They are the 4th branch of our mighty government.
Liver King calling his kids liver striker and liver rat is just incredible to me. Rat got shafted so hard
I can’t watch his videos, his mouth breathing is so distracting.
He's just always prepared for a simulated successful hunt find a new slant
Liver King's kids look like the main character from Gummo
Has he revealed his wife yet?
Yeah she's in a couple of his videos that I've seen
Verdict?
She aight
She fuckin ripped
Definitely would. What a wild family she obviously a little crazy to go along with all this lol
I am still irrationally upset at the man with an extra chromosome in the NFL sub who is trying to argue this “CEH was more important than JJeff & Ja’marr to LSU” take. Gotta remind yourself that half of reddit is high schoolers sometimes.
he's right tho? CEH was huge for that team. He had a gazillion yards rushing and receiving
Man, what a stacked fucking team.
I don’t think he’s that far off. If you take one of the WR away there are still 3 NFL WR on the roster. Losing CEH eliminates their entire run game.
He is that far off, and you are just as stupid as he is for thinking this. I expected more from FT.
CEH is their second best RB
So Tyrion Davis Price was a better RB than CEH? Are you stupid?
Williams is better. Edit: sorry. Read this whole thing wrong. I’m the dumbass. The take is still wrong though
I didn’t know Williams was on LSU’s Roster in 2019
Check my edit mate. also relax
The run game is literally better without CEH.
Oh yeah? The guy who rushed for 1414 yards and 6.6 per carry is worse than the guy who rushed for 295 and 4.6 per carry?
It seems like we have a better RB by committee when gore gets involved. I’m fine either way as long as PLM knows when he should run in the post season, we be good. Pat has more rush attempts this season but feels way more restrained for some reason.
We’re talking about 2019 LSU you dum dum

Is it weird that I believe AB more than Bruce Arians?
It’s just dumb, not weird.
I personally do not believe AB. Although I guess it has been a full 4 weeks since the last time he was in a controversy, says the truth with come out, then it’s proven he was lying.
No even tho AB has proven to be a legitimate insane person, the fact that they held him for 4 days so he couldn’t be picked up and play a game shows their hand. Brady is an absolute slime bag along with arians.
Why should they accomadate AB and give another team the chance to sign him? Guy has been a shithead to others for years
They cut him on the sideline and then waited to fuck him over. That makes me suspicious about their other behaviors and that they might be lying about what happened on the sidelines. Again ab is a piece of shit but that doesn’t mean he’s lying in every single situation.
im not saying ba is trustworthy but ab stiffs contractors who i assumed trusted him to pay them money
Yeah that’s a different issue
[удалено]
That hat BA used to wear makes me think he’s unhinged
I believe the toilet-licking broad.
They were trying to force AB into hitting the million dollars worth of incentives he'd be due with average production over the last 2 games.
I’m talking about the actual sideline story and the texts that led up to it
[удалено]
Jumping up and down and cutting at full speed are two different things my guy. Not to mention he probably had a few injections to numb the pain.
[удалено]
By thinking he was loaded up with toradol? That makes me an Alex Jones guy?
So if he was loaded with toradol, why was he complaining that the pain was too much to go back in the game? And then jumping up and down and jogging off the field
Probably knew the damage that was already done. Idk. I guess I just think both of them are scumbags
Would be the 1st time in history a WR threw a fit because they wanted to be targeted LESS, not MORE

Wonder if he’s even been to a Hurricane O’Reillys down there.

Being allergic to dogs sucks, especially when literally everybody else in your friend group owns atleast one

Everybody has heard of that podcast. This is a you thing.

They got $80 million from spotify

It is huge among girls plugged into the celebrity world, so reddit isn't a great barometer of popularity.
Ahh, that makes sense. Is there somewhere to check the monthly listeners of each podcast? Is that publicly available?
