I totally agree that sports and politics intersect way more than the avg person realizes and I’m fine with espn covering them. However, a great deal of media (all forms) have turned towards opinion or editorials dominating their product more and more. In contrast, I would rather hear people who actually have…

Looks like your quote is a bit off from your link. I didn’t quite understand the quote and the link has a different one that makes a little more sense...
Here’s the issue that I feel is being mostly overlooked by most people (Myles is the first one I’ve seen even remotely mention anything about it)... Outside factors were forcing the show to end. Whether it was HBO or the actors, actresses, crew, etc. they all appeared to be a high level of pride of what they…
It was bad that he pushed the guy, but that fanny pack is a fucking unforgiveable.
Come on man, don’t be that guy. You made a mistake, just own it and/or move on. Don’t double down on it. I’m going against my better judgement that you perhaps are just trolling... I guess I’m baffled that you’re willing to believe the people who said THAT they cheated, but not believe those same people when they…
He said Walls not toilets. They got access to the room next to the lab and drilled a hole in the wall (or had access to one) to swap athletes pre games clean samples for their dirty ones.
Wait so you don’t believe the Russians used their lab access to swap samples?
Dare I say Cosmo put baby in the corner.
Second this...it was done to prevent an owner who “has the money” from increasing payroll rapidly not getting acceptable results and then bailing on the club.
Agreed. Not to mention Cuban got in trouble (maybe fined?) for publicly discussing the positives of tanking. Point being that much like “the process” intentional organizational losing perhaps shouldn’t be chastised and rewarded in the same conversation
I’m all for athletes getting paid and, like of lot of people, am very frustrated what a lot of college sports has devolved to. But to assume that everyone in a sport or in athletics is a bad person is lunacy (it’s actually a very dangerous sweeping generalization). So let’s take that logic one step further...Are we…
I agree they didn’t bring him in to score 40 or 50 a game. (Did you mean to reply to the other guy who said they did?). They brought him in to run the offense. And while there’s not one specific stat that shows how effectively he’s done that, his APG, assist %, PER, usage, PPG, 3 point %, and fg % were all worse this…
Oh please don’t take it as me saying he’s bad, he’s a good player. I just don’t think he’s as good as his stats (and some people think he is). To put this in context (and I know there have been some DS articles on the subject), he is a top 15 player all time (!!!) in vorp. He’s ahead of Shaq, Stockton, pippen, kobe…
Ok, I’ll say it...CP3 is overrated. This was exactly the kind of game where you can see the divergence of of CP3’s stats and his effect on a game. He passed up multiple open looks, and at many times throughout this game (and probably this whole series) he seemed more intent on playing against the refs than against…
Thank you.
Idk man, every other source even remotely involved that I’ve seen speak about this (both trainers, an owner, and multiple tv analysts) has said the jock did what he could and that it was most likely due to the horse being so green. (FWIW, I don’t care about the ruling, And it appears to be justified). These profession…
You’re the first person to talk about training with noise as I’ve also wondered about that, but based on the snark replies I’ve gotten I didn’t dare ask. Just to make sure you’re saying that you think a different (better?) jockey could have reigned him in quicker and prevented a foul?
Again I understand the ruling and the analogy you’re trying to make. My question is/was it the jockey’s “fault”. The OP is acting like an allknowing god and that it is on the jockey. now that I’ve got to read about it a little more, in literally every other source (including both trainers, analysts and one of the…
