My other favorite knock is how everyone is so much better at shooting 3's now and back in the 90's the reason why nobody shot them is none of the players had the range. 3Pt % 2020- 35.7% 1998- 34.6% 1992- 33.6%

Sadly it's the cutting the cord of the "radio/podcast world" Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Apple +, Disney +, Youtube TV, etc. I also thing most will start doing videos of their shows as well some already have.

A little 3 crazy? in a few years half the shots taken are going to be 3's at this rate. Hell if you take out transition layups/dunks I bet it's already close to 50%. Do I miss the 18ft baseline jumper? Not particularity but I do think the 3 has taken away the flow of the NBA. 2020- 3's attempts per game- 34, FG attempts per game- 89, 38% of shots were 3's. 1998- 3's attempts per game- 12.7, FG attempts per game- 80, 15% of shots were 3's 1993- 3's attempts per game- 9, FG attempts per game- 86, 10.5% of shots were 3's

I will never understand the "it's too long" view of podcasts. 1. There are a shit ton of podcasts that are 15-30 minutes (or less) and plenty longer for those who like a guest or topic 2. Most podcasts have guides of when guests are on or they are talking about a topic that might interest you. So you know you don't have to "listen to a couple of people drone on for hours" 3. There is like a million different podcast so you can really find any topic you could possibly ever want to listen to 4. Like it or not it's not going anywhere and is only going to become more popular

Daily "you need to get your hearing checked", "you aren't listening to me", etc. Maybe just maybe you wait until I am not in the shower, the garage, downstairs, in another room, etc. before you ask me a question.....................

Correct. I think it really is just a bigger play for Spotify to beat the shit out of Apple and become the Netflix of the podcast world. They want to create their own content instead of just being a vessel where people can find shows they like. It will be interesting to see if those exclusive deals move the needle and get people to stop using Apple because their favorite show isn't on it anymore.

The 96 Bulls team was better than the 98 team. You could make an argument that the 92 team was better as well. Yes because watching 4 guys stand around while their teammate jacks up another 3 is so much more entertaining.

That is 100% in their plan.

I think it's similar to Howard Stern going to Sirius. They won't change anything (yes debate away on Howard) they just want the exclusive rights. He had over 190 million downloads in April, in the podcast world he is the king. It's about branding and for Spotify trying to get Rogan's fans to switch from Apple (where most people listen) to Spotify. They bought a talent that they hope bring more people to their service. They also bought the Ringer (Bill Simmons company) which has podcasts, video, blogs, etc. It's where new media is going.

Ha, I was waiting for that at the very end. Either way all in on #2.

Probably my favorite part of the Doc. I lived in the Midwest during the 90's so I pretty much knew and followed everything about MJ and that team when I was in HS/college. But those behind the scene glimpses that this gives us is really what made it so great and obviously very few people had any knowledge of. The reason why I love it is that is how team sports work talking shit and showing respect. Not to play the people don't understand card again but that is exactly how you would talk with your friends. The whole Michael was a tyrant asshole, and a horrible example of how to treat other people takes annoy the shit out of me. He was respected by his teammates and the best players in the league. If the general public and Nancy's of the world can't handle it then tough shit. As for it missing in today's game, I think that it is there- It's just a different time so it's not exactly the same.

Amazing how treatment has changed in the last month. So much for all those vents........

A guy I knew in HS became a D-1 male cheerleader. Said for all the shit he took for being a male cheerleader it was worth it because of the road games. The home team cheerleaders would take the opposing teams cheerleaders out the night before the game. He said in most cases it was 3-4 male cheerleaders to about 15-20 female cheerleaders/dance team members from the home team. And there were always multiple options at the end of the night on every road game.

You must be a blast at parties.

- Agreed (although I would have had less a problem with it this season then when Chris won) - Agree -Agree -100% not even close.

Great stuff. I know it's our nature but the hot take columns are annoying the ever loving shit out of me this morning.

A smallish nursing home is probably the best test case for this. Obviously on a very small scale. My MIL is in one. They went full lock down at least a week or two before everyone else was mandated to do so. They had one employee who tested posted- she was sent home and quarantined for two weeks. That was almost a month ago and they have had only one resident and one other employee test positive with no new positives in the last 2 weeks. They moved every resident that was in contact with that employee into a separate wing of the facility and that seems to have worked. Scary shit but so far so good at her nursing home.

Yep, that's his MO, turn everything he does around and make it her fault.

So close-

100% agree. He was great comedy relief and seemed way more laid back on the last challenge. I still think he isn't nearly as good of a competitor as he should be based on his physical tools. He just seems a little too soft and doesn't have that killer in him that CT does.

Thanks I went down a youtube rabbit hole of his videos. What a fucking idiot. I really wish the time he got arrested in Chicago the cops on the scene would have realized he wasn't a cop. Those guys would have given him so much more shit. Also watching those videos gave me a greater appreciation for police officers, the amount of MORONS they have to deal with on a daily basis has to be mind blowing I wouldn't have the patience for it.

100%. Tori fucked herself from the very beginning when she was trying to fit pieces through the grate instead of smashing them. She also would have won if she would have only filled up half the wheel barrel like Jenna did. They put there second to last loads in at the same time and Tori had a full wheel barrel at the end and Jenna had about half. Great comp and hats off to Jenna. Still think Tori is one of the best female competitors and she isn't afraid to compete like 95% of the rest of the house. Agree with all of this- 1. Jordan is an over confident dick but I think he is probably a super nice guy in real life, he just turns it up on the challenge to play that part of his personality 2. Zach on the other hand is a fucking little bitch. He is one of those guys who treats his GF's like shit and then when he does something wrong turns it around on them to make it there fault. I fucking hate people like Zach. I wish Jenna would tell him to fuck off 3. Not that all of the people on the show have issues but holy hell Nany is right up there with Cara Marie in no self worth issues. koo koo 4. As discussed before the Producers tried to force people to compete but they are still skating by. I do think there are going to be people that don't run the final because they were too chicken shit to compete. One addition- Dee is the most annoying worthless girl on the show. She acts like she is some amazing player when she cried all last season and made it to the end because everyone thought she would be easy to beat in the finale. I can't stand her.

100% they both had a shot to take out the clear favorite to win and they both screwed up.
