The Panthers would’ve ruined Stroud too. They’re just not good enough to develop a QB properly and are entering a nasty development cycle of blowing through QB talent.

It’s evident he didn’t learn a thing from his tenure in Denver, except how to better pretend he knew what he was doing.

I rather enjoyed that the Seahawks didn’t gain any ground in the playoff hunt. It’s a good bye week on that front.

Same vibe. I get your point though.

I want whoever did the SomethingAwful bathroom to do up a kitchen. This has a very 2014-19 Bucs vibe, especially in the images with the obnoxious HDR.

If I see HIM again, I’m just gonna assume it’s about Ville Valo’s old band.

At least the Islanders actually won stuff worth a damn. The Sharks deserve their own Sparky the SUV.

To further my BJ Penn comparison, demanding a publicly-funded arena after all the garbage hockey is as stupid as saying that CTE doesn’t exist, despite their own cognitive decline. The Sharks have all the mental capacity of a moron with stage II CTE.

Being a Sharks fan is like being a BJ Penn fan. The glory days, which weren’t that good to begin with, are long gone. Meanwhile, the present is a continued and confounding embarrassment, one that gets funnier every year.

Well, that depends on if you view the 2019 title as a 2018 Patriots (because their Super Bowl wasted everybody's time in 2019) or a 2019 Chiefs win. If it's the latter, we're talking 4/4 (Blues, Raptors, Nationals, and Chiefs). This year, we've got the Golden Knights, Nuggets, Rangers (all first-timers) and either the Chiefs or [Insert Eagles/Seahawks/Lions/Chiefs/Dolphins - only the Lions and Dolphins are particularly accursed here].

Congrats to the Rangers, their fans, Bruce Bochy, and Corey Seager! That was a hell of a good series. Also, this means that every other Big Four sports team in Dallas has won at least one title (and been to several finals) since the Cowboys last went to/won a Super Bowl.

@rainmaker17 is one!

So, would you still support the players’ association in a strike?

How do we not know that Adam Silver is just one of Roger Smith’s many characters?

You are rating his intelligence too highly.

People with massive inferiority complexes and little self-awareness make for good drama and fan engagement. Also, because it feels mildly appropriate with how Harden left Houston:

I’d argue that yips also applies to Ben Simmons. The guy just totally broke down over a few seasons and lost all will to shoot.

Jahlil Okafor and Markelle Fultz, respectively.

Tennessee vs. Pittsburgh Miami vs. Kansas City Minnesota vs. Atlanta Chicago vs. New Orleans LA Rams vs. Green Bay Washington vs. New England Seattle vs. Baltimore Tampa Bay vs. Houston Arizona vs. Cleveland Indianapolis vs. Carolina NY Giants vs. Las Vegas Dallas vs. Philadelphia Buffalo vs. Cincinnati LA Chargers vs. NY Jets

The Hamilton crowds will get you in other ways. I'd insert that one popular image about the Hamilton fandom/fanart community here, but I don't think it's allowed on the forum. But yeah, the in-season tournament stuff looks fairly tacky, and it will no doubt be successful enough to keep the tournament around.

You don't need to worry about BrandMooreArt, he hasn't posted here in years.

It’s been true a hell of a lot longer than that. Also, the Hamilton analogy is much more on-point that you’d think, as far as it comes to the messaging. The only other musical that’d be similar is Bad Cinderella, but nobody saw that one outside of Slime Tutorials.

Also, the resulting CBA helped produce a lot of stuff that contributed to the strangeness (e.g., salary cap expansion, the eventual Durant-to-Warriors unpleasantness, and the increased emphasis on analytics). Then the Warriors got good and everybody tried copying them to limited success.

It’s a shame the CBA got approved earlier this year, the league could do with a strike or lockout.

This may just be me, but I really think this “NBA turning point” was the 2011 lockout. That’s when the “weird” started, for lack of a better term.
