NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Didn't watch that and have read very little. My QBs do Verizon commercials and nationally televised Golf tournaments.

LOL.

He offered all of them like 40k but okay.....he did nothing wrong.

For him, even if innocent, getting this story in the past is worth $1M. Just ask Ben. It would cost more than that in legal fees and attorney costs for 22 civil cases.

Surprised you guys didn't upgrade the backup QB position.....Stafford misses more than 3-4 games and the season is fucked.

Just heard on Cowherd that Ray Liotta has died.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Oh fuck.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Field of Dreams is how I'll remember Ray. 67? Damn.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Goodfellas too.

Well, Kerr is the one that demands something to be done without providing a viable solution. Again, more security and protection for schools would be ideal and a good start. Wasn't long ago, Kerr was pandering for social justice and wanted to eliminate police from schools entirely.

In terms of cost, I mean, we've given Ukraine what, $53 billion in the last month. If we have that kind of money to give other countries, why couldn't that have been allocated for security measures?

What is your approach? Eliminate guns altogether? If so, you'll be saddened to the negative consequences of that.

And in terms of investments in infrastructure, wasn't that what Biden's campaign was built on?

Obviously eliminating guns is an impossible task, especially in this country. However, an 18 year old buying two semi-auto rifles in short succession with 375 rounds should be a flag of a potential issue. No waiting period in Texas I presume?

I found out this morning when someone started a thread about it. Sad, he was only 67. Think I'll watch Goodfellas tonight.

Ray was really cool.

Met him one weekend at Barney's Beanery in West Hollywood.

When did I ever say he did nothing wrong, don't misconstrue my words. There is no comparison to the Big Ben case where he allegedly raped the woman just bc there are 22 women. Again, all criminal charges were cleared. The only reason to settle is to expediate this process bc civil, yes only civil cases, will likely not be settled until into 2023.

Heard of it, never been...

But all of that won’t truly address the problem. The problem is that America has fetishized guns. American culture loves their fire arms. We also have a culture of violence. These two things working together are a horrible equation. The change that is needed isn’t going to come from laws or politics. We need cultural change from within. That’s easier said than done. I’m not sure how we can change that culture when we are already so far gone.

...and its only getting worse. Easy access to outsider views (or extremists) that feed on our divisive state of politics are easily accessible now with alternative news and the internet. The world is getting infinitely smaller, and that's not always a good thing.

Nah. Even when I lived out there for awhile, other than Pinks and Phillipe's (where the French Dip was supposedly invented), I never went to any of the restaurants that were known for celebrities eating there.

Valiant taste of death is poetic nonsense assuming some after-death reward for heroic actions.

It’s a metaphor. It leans on the idea that if you live a life where you are scared to put yourself out there and live life to the fullest you’re as good as being dead because you’re not taking advantage of life. But the brave who do put themselves out there, take risks and go for it only die once in their life.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Settling for that little would seem to indicate a lack of confidence in winning those cases, just pay to make the story go away. If the amount doesn't go public, it makes Watson look like he paid big to make the story go away.

Correct. Which is why Watson wanted it public

This is not just for NFL but all sports.

Which sports and teams have the most passionate fanbase?​

Supporting a sports team is a key aspect of our identities, with fanbases providing a shared culture and community for their local area and beyond. Fanbases also give fans the ability to share the highs and lows of each season with each other. But which teams and sports have the most dedicated fanbase?

The team at OLBG has taken a closer look at the data to find out, analyzing a number of factors including overall attendance, the average attendance per game, the average capacity attendance per game, the average ticket resale price, and the number of Instagram followers.

Gotta question the Broncos in the great category. For the last five years towards the end of the season once they have been eliminated from the playoffs the local news has said season ticket holders look to sell their tickets.

The Steelers fans ranked as dogshit? I always thought they had a solid fanbase.

Any fans that boo Santa and literally eat dogshit can't be in the great category. Yes an Eagles fan ate turds after the S.B. win.

Baltimore. Glad they got another team because it was fucked up how the Irsay's moved them outta town in the middle of the night back in the day.

Glad the Browns are in the super fan category. But they shouldn't be so loud. Hey Mayfield, F-U!

Does this chart take into account how poorly run a franchise is? I think attendance to a Lions game should be weighted more that attending a Chiefs/Patriots game.
