I am a numbers nerd who has read (and done my own modeling) extensively on the subject. Here’s a long, but thorough, answer.

Those are the size and grain of filet mignon (aka beef tenderloin steaks). Makes sense that if you like steak, but have lots of money, you figure “hey filet steaks are better!”.

Im a noob with respect to The Unwritten Rules, but isn’t plunking a future hall of famer a little overkill for hitting some rookie? Do these things always escalate?

Of all people, he got that move from Zaza, per Strauss.

I watched all of game 2 and as it was going had the thought “GSW sure has more FTs right now” but it didn’t feel unfair. Dubs were flying to the rack constantly, whereas the Pelicans were just jacking up wide open looks from 18+ feet early in the shot clock the entire game. AD coulda gotten some more FTs but Steph…

What a ridiculous critique. Psychology is listed as ONE OF her inherent advantages. He’s saying its a mental game and so are you. Why are people arguing?

I know this is the hottest take, but she isn’t actually a suck-ass skier. I was a trained ski instructor, former college athlete (non skiing) who spent a gap year in my career teaching skiing and skiing every day. After 100+ days of training I could *barely* pop out of a full scale halfpipe (those walls are two…

Unlike this riveting coverage of Bode’s gold where they talked about Bode’s kid, his last year 3 years, and maybe 10 words of “soft in his knees”.

I do wonder if the explanation is the simplest: the were co-workers and probably buddies.

Bingo. Pretty lame if the future of the force is basically just royalty by birth with better swords. The whole point (even Luke, despite being Anakin’s son) is that a hero can rise from nowhere.

Ive thought about this a lot and I think it’s okay. The logic:

What evidence do you have that “theyre not making as much money as they used to”? They have locked in revenues from all the major sources and a bunch of teams are $50M under the cap. These are caviar days in the NFL.

This tweet started so well!

WaP did break the Roy Moore story, which is also a bombshell, with as slew of well reported on the record comments, so I say you’re good.

Im sorry, I just can’t with this. I was told there would be an interesting debate, but the amateurism crowd is making objections on logical fallacies and process concerns... honest question: is there ANYONE out there making strong arguments in favor of amateurism besides “I dont like colleges paying people”

“The real question is: Do scholarships have value?”

Pretty impressive given those older examples were from the 2 yard line, not like 40 yard field goals or whatever it is now
