The point here is that the analytics he’s hiding behind provide an easily quantifiable measure of each player’s monetary worth to a team. The owner’s are purposely lowballing at best and likely doing their best, via collusion, to maximize their personal profits.

So rather than using the analytics as intended to improve…

I know, I mostly concur based on cleared up media reports after some initial local reporting went the other way, but Jesus...being that condescending get you anywhere in life?

I concede, all hail Joel Embiid my new personal lord and saviour!

Fine, if you only take the seasons he’s actually played it 138 of 208 games for about 67%.

8 games relatively poorly!

It’s halfway though the season and all past performance probably indicates Westbrook bounces back while Embiid misses most of the rest of the year with back and foot injuries?

Somehow Embiid pulls this and he’s loved even more.  He’s pretty much just the new Dwight Howard to me.

Slight edge, if any, on small sample size.

PER? WS? An MVP? Playing more than 63 games in a season? Hitting some 3's? PG way more significant than C in today's NBA?

“Joel Embiid is a better basketball player than Russell Westbrook now”

I have the original Legend of Zelda on NES gold and gray, the GBA version, the Gamecube multi disk, Wii VC, and Wii U. I might have it for 3DS too, I forget.

Pretty much the same for Metroid. Both NES, GBA, Metroid Prime unlock, Zero Mission, Wii, Wii U. Animal crossing GC too I think?

Has no one played Command and Conquer: Red Alert ?

I’m in agreement, but having lived in the upper midwest my whole life I know the people here are generally ok with handguns locked up. When you start talking about rifles and shotguns, they join the NRA in droves.

Its Wisconsin. $200 bucks cash and carry will get you armed. No background  checks, no waiting, 10 minutes in the shop tops.  This would still have gone down if that gun was in a safe.

I'd guess Leahy or Wyden, the older sugar daddy type.

Now all we need is a seemingly inevitable Anthem flop and EA will have destroyed nearly everything good they’ve got their hands on.

Given the decade plus it took for the establishment to get over whining about Moneyball, I have a hard time believing all the teams simultaneously chose to follow an Astros/Brewers style analytics model instead of looking at, say, RBI’s.

Maybe he's banging a Dem Senator. You know, the old reach around across the aisle?

Growing up in MI has taught me that any amount of faith in or hope for the Lions can end in nothing but heartbreak.
