I timed it at ~ 8 seconds from 18 to 18. Which is what 75-85 m depending on field length. That’s impressive if he was just out there sprinting let alone 20 minutes into a game potentially not even running in a straight line.

What is the average hospitality worker wage in these non-american places you speak off. The average wage in the US for non-management/supervisory roles in the hospitality industry is around $14/hr and $30k a year. This is easily verifiable from the BLS. https://www.bls.gov/iag/tgs/iag70.htm

Try being the 15th best person in the world at the most visible/vital part of an organization. Then you would likely get over 10% of that.

Okay that makes a lot more sense

That was the least excited call & crowd combo I could imagine, even for a us open cup quarterfinal.

It has to be wrestling or jiu-jitsu right? I guess maybe I can generalize to grappling or MMA.

This is probably the most correct take in the comment section. Though I do think he is actually a bit bigoted. If people watched his numerous absurd UFC press conferences, where they have all of the fight card there, they’d realize he is just in general being an asshole and talking shit to promote his brand of being a…

Look at the advanced stats. PG’s best season isn’t even in the same ballpark as Jimmy was this year. PG wins my eye test too, but my eyes are wrong the numbers really 100% disagree.

Right, it’s weird, I’m pretty sure (*certain) GS is the best basketball team ever but I actually feel like they are going to lose. I have no rational explanation for how the cavs (or any team) can beat them in a 7-game series, but I have that much faith in Lebron and kinda sorta Kyrie.

Giri I always enjoy your tennis posts. You have taken me from entirely uninterested in tennis to a casual fan, which in my mind is a fairly impressive feat of your writing (typing). Anyway thank you.

Wait you deleted a thread of comments on here because you had a really really bad sports opinion about how Jimmy butler wasn’t even remotely close to being the best player in this series, which all advanced metrics (they are very strong and efficient predictors of team level success year to year) disagree with you.

This is a terrible sports opinion...

Maybe he was confused and thought it was San Ysidro, I’m pretty sure there’s a denny’s within a few hundred yards of the border in San Ysidro. I also think Otay Ranch has a fairly new Denny’s, though I could be wrong.

Returning from injury to suck the joy out of Knicks fans is usually only an important part of the rehabilitation process for Knicks players.

Given what I think I have seen out of Lebron this year, who in bursts is still levels above and beyond everybody, I don’t think he currently has the capacity to do what Russ has done this year. I don’t think Lebron could sustain the sort of super-human intensity it has taken to have the level and volume of performance…

This is a conclusion reached based on the summation of his behavior over years not this situation alone, but in this case Taj comes away looking better so maybe there’s a starting point.

That’s also a logical fallacy. The point isn’t is he tougher than a random commenter on deadspin, the point is Draymond acts like the hardest dude in the league but he’s not. He cheapshot’s people and only plays the “hold me back” game in the silly chest bumping situations.

That’s what the peasants and bear dogs are for... I’m not risking a kick in the balls

Draymond Green is such a fake tough guy. He’s the NBA equivalent to a 40 yr old mid life crisis wannabe harley davidson tough guy.
