We’ve done stuff like this before to eradicate harmful insects to great success.

Not being beholden to some random time kept out of the eyes of the public.

But it’s not really random. If you’ve watched enough soccer, you know exactly when the whistle is about to be blown. You develop a feel for the game and every experienced soccer viewer knows the moment in the game when the whistle is coming. It may seem odd to you, and it was to me when I was new to the sport.

But once you develop the feel for the game, the full time whistle is so natural.

A ref isn’t going to call a game when a team is attacking. If they cleared the ball, then he’ll call the game.

In soccer, players can be very physical and nothing is called unless it causes the player to fall to the ground. Any contact to the legs, like a trip, is basically an automatic foul if the defender doesn’t hit the ball first.

It only annoys me when the replay shows there was no contact and the player tries to get a call. That actually doesn’t happen nearly as often as you might expect. Regardless of any rolling around theatrics, most of the time they really were fouled.

I don’t even pay attention to how someone reacts. Just pay attention to whether or not he was actually fouled.

Also, it’s gonna be difficult to get into a sport where you’re watching two random teams that you have zero invested in emotionally. I’d get bored watching something like a random college basketball game between Hofstra and Rutgers, and I like basketball.

If you truly wanted to give the sport a chance, you have to pick a team and become emotionally invested in their season. When you’re emotionally invested, that’s when you start learning about the sport as you watch it and truly begin to like it.

Yesterday, on a road with two lanes in both directions, a guy in a truck decided he wanted to turn left into the McDonald’s on the other side of the street, where the line went right to the street, and thus he’s now perpendicular to the traffic and is blocking both lanes of traffic.

I was going the opposite direction so I didn’t see how it played out, but boy I bet people were pissed.

The Scottish fans are awesome. The English fans are a bunch of jackasses.

I'm so tired of this bullshite take

Like its the Pels fault Davis was made of glass and we were perpetually injured

Pels also made Zion not care. Totally our faults.

---

It’s not just about AD and Zion. Did the Pels have a real plan to build around them? Their teams sucked. The coaches sucked. The Pels had two shots at building a contender, and not only did they not build a contender, they never even got close. Competent franchises have a plan and a vision and are serious about winning. Do you think that describes the Pels with AD and Zion?

Without OKC being lucky enough for Clippers to want an over the hill PG they never get this haul.

SGA who is a league MVP
Tre Mann (18th pick)
Jalen Williams (12th pick)
Cason Wallace (10th pick)
Nikola Topic (12th pick)
12th pick in 2026 draft

So to recap they received a league MVP, 4 lottery picks and a top 20 pick. That absolutely is luck

---

But it’s not. It’s an opportunity. Good GMs collect assets and remain flexible so that when opportunities arise, they are in the best position to pounce. Sam Presti put OKC in that position. That wasn’t an accident and that wasn’t luck.

Simply calling it luck completely undersells the incredible work OKC’s front office did. He had a plan and made the moves to collect an insane amount of assets, and was smart in knowing when to cash those assets in. Lots of work went into making it all happen.

OKC lucked into the Clippers being stupid and trading them SGA along with a bunch of great picks. Spurs lucked into the league kissing Pops arse and getting Wemby.

---

It’s not luck. Good GMs put the franchise in the position to take advantage of opportunities that come their way.

Sometimes a little luck has to go your way, but when a good GM has set the franchise up with a good position on the chess board, luck will find them.
