Dang almost got myself locked out of my account permanently. Thankfully figured out my password haha

Average length of a nfl career is like 3 years but still its the 3rd round and the Bears should just be going bpa.
-
Bears just refuse to trade down. Played 6 years in college, he may be a st player but still accumulate picks.
-
A lot of qbs on the board now would be a good time to see if you can trade down and get extra picks.
Not a need but Chenal is going to be an impact player.

Deebo just looks really good this. Seems to have taken it to another level.

I still don’t understand the NFT craze and it makes me feel old.

Most of it is probably worthless. I have no idea why people spend thousands of dollars on some of stuff.
The only thing Ive really spent time on is the NBA one. To me its like collecting cards, except for I dont have to worry about their rating. Im not sure if they will ever have value, but if you limit yourself to the $10-$20 packs you probably arent going to lose much either. From the last $19 pack there were a few that sold within the week for $10,000+. The most expensive was Lebron #23 (the moment is of his first game winner ever), it went for $40,000.-

I guess Candy is dropping some today. I just signed up. Seems its $50 for a pack.
(edit)
Topshot is also dropping archive packs, they are going to be tricky to get unless you have a pretty big collection. If you want to get started the have some common packs for cheap, but you missed out on the free Wade moment.

Tried giving it away at the end, but a win is a win. You can see the potential this team has. They've got 3 guys that can average over 20 ppg, a legitimate point guard, a 6th MOY type player, and a deep bench. If this offense gels and the defense keeps it up, watch out. Coby White will be a great addition on the bench. Perfect microwave type scorer to have in the 2nd unit.
Id rather the Bulls use White as a trade chip. Unless White has dramatically improved his shooting there just arent many times when White is going to be the guy you want taking shots.

So, MLB is starting to drop some of their own tomorrow - anyone going after that? Anyone doing Top Shot or anything of the like?
I have a bunch of different stuff. Sports wise I have 1 wooden something from the first MLB Topps thing happened and then I have a bunch of Topshot moments. Best advice I can give is that 1) only buy what you can lose and 2) if you want to be profitable only buy packs.
A lot of it makes no sense because its filled with crypto people with limited sports knowledge. My biggest shock when I joined TS was seeing Tom Satoransky moments going for hundreds of dollars.

I thoroughly enjoyed Dune. I thought it was very true to the book and really captured what the world looked like in my mind. Can’t wait for part 2!
I read part 2 is only a maybe. Pretty surprising because that ending is really weak for a stand a lone. I guess they were concerned about it because of how the 80s version did.
I personally liked it and hope the y do a 2nd one.

Looks like your Ball love may be panning out too. It seems like he has a new much better form for his shot.

Lonzo da truth.
You still shading Lavine?
I remember the day I became a Lavine truther, I posted that I think the Bulls should give him a max deal which back then was somewhat controversial. Now we can only hope he accepts it. -

Listened to the radio for a minute tonight and Swirsky said DeRozan is a future Hall of Famer. This is crazy, right?
So my initial response was yes (it was crazy), but I think he just passed Lenny Wilkins for 80th in scoring all time. Depending how many years left he could easily finish top 50.

Yeah, poor Tony, he's really suffered immense consequences for alcohol and his decision making
Poor anyone who has had a life impacted by addiction or disease.
Everyone has problems, maybe I'm a bad person because I'd rather see people get help and succeed than be buried by past mistakes.

Agree its horrific. I just dont know the best way to deal with it. Ive always found criminalizing addict behavior is not helpful. But at the same time drunk driving could hurt someone else. Its a tricky one because does jail really help an addict or does it make them worse? Should we be punishing or rehabiliting?
Those are way above my pay grade, but I just see some hypocrisy. People mention Blackhawks as good, but didn't they have an employee sexually harassed?
I just dont know, but today at least I just got tiring reading the same old attacks.

I think my opinion of Sox leadership from the top down has been made pretty clear here. I despise JR and his stupid "old boy's club". It's one of the biggest reasons the White Sox have been the laughingstock of the AL for as long as they have been. I'd love for JR to sell the fucking team, and have a new owner clean house. Unfortunately, our best hope at this point is the old may dying, and one of his relatives actually running the organization in a competitive manner.
They're the Chicago Bears of the MLB, and it's a huge reason my fandom for both teams has really, really dropped off as I've gotten older.
JR believes in loyalty hate it or love it. Maybe analytics will say loyalty has no place in winning. But Im not sure I would want to be a part of that world.
JR is as good as the people he trusts. I wish they went younger and thought outside the box more.
Whoever you think is the best manager likely wouldn't have beat Houston because the Sox were weaker on talent. That needs to be the focus how can Hahn be better.

Who is acting like they've never done something stupid? I don't manage a Major League Baseball team, so the stupid things I may or may not have done are immaterial to this discussion. Whether you like it or not, with increased responsibility, comes increased accountability. When you're in a leadership position, standards are, and should be, much higher. The fact that TLR has been arrested twice for DUI is pretty telling(here's where analytics comes in). This speaks to a pattern of poor judgement. It points to a pattern of stubbornness, and not learning from your mistakes(especially when you state IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN). These are not attributes I want in the guy managing my favorite baseball team.
Then get mad at JR but TLR has been the whipping boy at historic levels on this site. Id rather discuss legitimate arguments like why Astros can win with Dusty who isn't some genius.
TLR is just a minor part of a larger problem.
Just now, southsider2k5 said:It was also published that while he tested at 0.095 hours after the fact, scientifically he was in the .13 to .14 range when he was actually arrested, and who knows what he was when he started driving.
Im sure that is possible. But I believe that is not 100% reliable. It's really stupid, but JR kept him. If anyone is to blame its him. If TLR has a legitimate problem its JRs fault for not doing anything.
To me it's just sad. Alcohol can really ruin people.

Actually BAC is percentage, but ok
Yeah yeah in 19,000 posts I expressed myself poorly one time, everyone quote it.

BAC is not a statistic. It's a single fucking measurement. Jesus Christ. Statistics should be a mandatory class for everyone, starting in middle school.
Youre right. I did not express myself well because I was responding to multiple posts too quickly.
Just gets so tiring on this board to read a bunch of holier than thou people. I dont drink and drive, I think its the stupidest thing. But I also dont act live Ive never done something stupid.

Just now, Paulie4Pres said:
You do realize that BAC has nothing to do with analytics or statistics, right?
But, here's a statistic for you. Tony La Russa has been arrested twice for DUI. In 100% of those instances, he was over the legal limit. In 100% of those instances, he was displaying driving behavior that would lead one to believe he was driving drunk. In 100% of those instances, the police arrested him for it.
Actually determining drunk driving is based on BAC which is a statistic. How drunk you are is based on BAC.
Im not sure what your 2 incident sample size means, Im pretty sure that isnt how analytics works. I think you may be confused on how to use statistics.
If you want to call people meatheads about not following stats, dont be a hypocrite about it.

Tlr fell asleep at the wheel for his first dui. It appears you struggle with facts.
Florida is in Arizona? Tell me more about these facts. Not to mention the statement was he must have been "really drunk", statistically .093 is not "really drunk." Just ironic that people who yell at others about analytics and stats, conveniently ignore stats when it goes against their "guts."

Just now, Paulie4Pres said:
He has had multiple DUI arrests, you realize? I also don't give a shit what your BAC is if you fall asleep at the wheel. Or hit a curb. You quite obviously shouldn't be driving. Some people can handle their booze better than others, and TLR quite obviously cannot handle his booze. Watch the fucking video. He's obviously severely impaired.
So when it comes to drunk driving you listen to your gut not science? Tell me more about meathead takes...
LaRussa possibly suffers from alcoholism, which is categorized as a disease. Maybe you believe that, maybe you dont. But a lot of people severely suffer from addiction and I am not someone who is going to repeatedly kick people for their problems.

That old man shouldn’t be driving period, let alone “buzzed”, by your standards.
They arent my standards, those are the laws. While I think driving drunk is extremely stupid in todays society especially for someone who has the means to pay for uber, I also am not going sit in here and act like I have never done something stupid either.

I mean, have you ever listened to the guy speak?? Have you seen the videos of his DUI arrest? He's a drunken old man, who likely suffers from alcohol induced dementia. Sorry if the truth bothers you. People making up La Russa drinking jokes is on nobody but TLR. Do you realize how poor your judgement has to be, to drive so drunk, that you FALL ASLEEP at the wheel? He's lucky he didn't kill someone. The fact that it wasn't the first time makes it even worse. That poor judgement is also reflected in his managing. He fucking sucks.
For someone who is calling people meatheads for not believing in analytics, you sure dont care about facts:
La Russa was arrested after a witness saw him swerving on the road and called police. He reportedly had a 0.095 blood alcohol concentration, above the legal limit of 0.08.Hate to break it to you but that is well below the "enhanced penalty level" in Arizona. Yeah its a per se dui, but for most of the "dinosaurs" life, that level was legal. Prior to 2000 the majority of states did not consider below .10 as a DUI.
But lets talk about meathead analytics.

I was contacted by an old poster Princess Dye, it seems he has somehow locked his account without any way to retrieve it. Is there anyway that it could be salvaged for him? I can vouch for his authenticity.
