in the end, why not just have a live lottery like the powerball? I get that the first ball that pops out turns into the #1 pick (and the #1 team has like 250 balls or something)....but just do it in reverse. Worst team has 1 or 2 balls and best team has 250, first ball that pops out is the last lottery pick, and you…

you can lose some of the paranoia since we factually know a ref was fixing games, and even baseball was fixed a century ago. Money will always beat out fairness and winning.

With that said, I don't think it's fixed, but I also don't understand how this system is accepted around the league, when it's the only league…

Or Shaq was teamed up with Hardaway and 3 first round picks. (the bounty for the Webber trade)

of course, but what's the logic behind a blind random selection of something so important. What if the Denver Nuggets (who had the same % probability as Cleveland) got Lebron? What if Miami (who had 15% chance) had the chance to draft Lebron to that squad instead of Wade?

While you are probably right, believing an independent accounting firm is like believing an independent fuel trading company named Enron about future pricing of commodities.

Hmm. So the 1991-1992 Magic went 21-61, drafted Shaq in 1992. Which is fine. Then the 1992-1993 Magic went 41-41 and still won the 1st pick in the 1993 NBA Draft (where they picked Chris Webber and traded him after the fact)

So you can look at it as the NBA giving the 41-41 Magic 3 first round picks and Anfernee…

I said pair with, not play together. No one made them trade Chris Webber, they decided to. They had back-to-back #1 overall picks, coulda rolled those two out on the same court.

First off admitting that I am a Sixers fan....but why the hell does this system exist other than it gives the NBA a way to rig the draft?

are you talking about Yuengling or PBR??? (see what I did there!)

very true. I love their Bock on tap too, some of my best days in college was when they would clearance those kegs (in May, i think it's only a spring run) at $45, we'd live large for a week with that in the keggerator instead of the normal Keystone Light.


I looked at it more on the "bar" setting where you are going to…

it is all everyone drinks. but everyone else drinks bud light and it's not considered "overrated" because it is what it is. For it to be overrated, it would have to sell for $30-$40 a case and everyone still love it (I wouldn't buy it again). It's a cheap beer that's better than most cheap beers, especially if you…

exactly the thought process of everyone i've been around in PA.

It's "oh I want a nice/good beer" or "i'll get a yuengling instead of a bud light because I want to pound some and get hammered"

should have specified "sitting at a bar" value.

that's their fault for traveling for a $20/case beer. That's like driving an hour to go to Wendys because it's a little better than the McDonalds down the street. Just go to Red Robin (aka get a case of Sam Adams with the gas money spent).

But to be fair, i traveled to scoop up the last real Four Loko's we could…

If Yuengling was $4 a draft and not $3 it would be overrated in my opinion. For what it is, I think it fits expectations. If that's the case, how is Yuengling overrated but PBR not? Both are slightly above-average mass produced cheap beers.

People in PA aren't that crazy about it (I live close to the factory, and…

is it really that hyped elsewhere? I don't know anyone in PA that excited about it, other than it's the same price as Bud Light but tastes better.

I mean i love it but I also imagine people from Milwaukee prefer Miller over Budweiser.

What is it with the Yuengling hate? It's often the same price in PA as the cheapest options such as Bud Light or Miller Light (my local non-dive bar sells 24oz drafts for $3.50, bottle of Bud Light $2.50).... And while it's still a 6.5/10, it's about the value.

I played baseball for 13 years, but it is awfully boring to watch with the other forms of entertainment we have. With that said, I love soccer and have a Phillies partial season ticket plan. I generally enjoy awfully boring stuff that I can relax to and get away from the world (and my work phone)...but less and less…
