@slfootball86 @jeff_gluck What if Carson just wanted to do it himself? Why can’t people just be cool with their sports athletes doing different things than what’s been the norm?

@jeff_gluck Nobody that watches the met gala will start watching NASCAR because of this. I see a negative net gain

@coltbaudoux @andyhmurray Most definitely, it’s self inflicted. They’re fools
English
@BackwardsHat41 @andyhmurray Wwe does this to themselves. I feel like theyll never have postive pr again 😂

50% pay cut is INSANE.
Particularly because if they're a "majorly pushed talent," they'd almost certainly land a big-money deal elsewhere, if cut.
Not that WWE was ever this boutique, artful operation, but this sprint towards Full Soullnessness is something else.
Wrestle Ops@WrestleOps
A pretty majorly pushed talent was reportedly asked to take a 50% pay cut last week and allegedly did. The name of the talent is unknown as it cannot be confirmed 100% that this was the case, but the timing of that claim was interesting as it took place a day before news broke of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods’ departure. (via PWlnsider)
English
@coltbaudoux @andyhmurray Still pretty soulless no matter what at the end of the day
English
@BackwardsHat41 @andyhmurray That could be it too. But its sooo different
English
@coltbaudoux @andyhmurray That’s unfortunately not what’s happening. TKO just wants the wrestlers to fall in line like the ufc fighters did
English
@andyhmurray What could be happening just bc ive seen and heard about this in sports and entertainment is lower salary but then higher incentives. Like merch , achievements , bonuses or movies roles now is it still shitty 100% im just saying thats what could be happening lol
English
@_editedbytae @Rumble_Ray @iztok_franko Yep and because of one guy deciding to take a heat check 3 with The Trade we’ll never know how far they could’ve gone
English
English
2024 Mavericks still the last team to beat OKC in a series. The last non-OKC team to beat Timberwolves in a series. Both healthy.
English
@SbmHuncho @Jetlife_Ryan_ @hoodiDub @iztok_franko May or may not be true but trading him for a fragile 30 year old that clogs the offense wasn’t winning you anything either. You can’t take the engine out of your car and expect it to keep running
English
@BackwardsHat41 @Jetlife_Ryan_ @hoodiDub @iztok_franko U not winning a chip with Luka as your best player
English
@Jetlife_Ryan_ @hoodiDub @iztok_franko You’re probably correct and it’s all speculation now but that’s partially why Mavs fans will never move on from the trade. We’ll never know because someone decided he didn’t want to find out if they could win the west again.
English
@BackwardsHat41 @hoodiDub @iztok_franko That would have been the only year that the Mavs would have been able to compete with OKC once they got Caruso and Hartenstein it was a much better team and still is
English
@hoodiDub @iztok_franko This isn’t okc slander from Iztok. It’s just stating how incompetent Nico Harrison is. He had a team to compete with the best and decided he had enough of that and took a heat check 3 that landed in the crowd
English
@LouisArmst94129 @iztok_franko This isn’t cope from Iztok. This is just stating how ridiculous Nico Harrison was and still is
English
@iztok_franko Ok? when that team didn't have Alex Caruso, Aj mitchell, and Isaiah Hartenstein... but sure whatever helps u cope.
English
@Rumble_Ray @iztok_franko And they were arguably better. Will always sting
English
@iztok_franko And yet that squad didn’t even get a chance to have another run 🤦
English
@wallflowerperry Because there’s valuable ad space to sell lol
English
I don’t understand why these matches are so short.
Just as I’m getting into them, they end.
English
@MikeBartner There’s no truer sign that a tweet should stay in the drafts than the words “not to be that guy”
English
Not to be that guy it’s an impressive record, but McDavid or Celebrini will so touch 21 seasons if they want to play till they’re 40.
Why are they acting like it’s Gretzky’s points record level untouchable rn lol.
Gino Hard@GinoHard_
SIMPLY SIDSATIONAL 🐧 Sidney Crosby snipes one to clinch his 21st straight point-per-game season 🐐
English
@HotRodChicago @firstroundmock He did this exact thing last year with Shedeur and timing his 40 from an in game clip.
English
@firstroundmock Do you not realize that running a 4.92 in pads and not in a straight line is amazing? Lmao
English
Since Fernando Mendoza refused to run a pre-draft 40, as a former NFL Scout, I had to put a stopwatch to his only 40+ yard run of his college career (11/23/24).
Starting point: CAL 13
Ending point: Stanford 47
Distance: 40 yards
Mendoza’s 40 time: 4.92 seconds
English
@firstroundmock I can’t believe you did this once already last draft cycle with Shedeur but doing it again is the biggest sign that you know what you’re doing. You aren’t slick, Daniel lol
English
@Bdoturbanus3 @slightbiased It’s already started but I think this one will be different than with Luka. People will irrationally hate coop the same way some hate Kawhi in my estimation. Luka gave them a trump card with the ref stuff and the talk of his contributions on D. These debates will be easier
English
@CampusVid2 I think we have to hope he can improve there but no matter what, when healthy, all of his possible positions are already settled with Aleks, Kimmich, and Davies. I’m just glad VK is finding ways to get him out there
English
@pdubwilliams1 @MavsFilmRoom Sometimes you have to sell and not get stuck with a sunk cost. The “great” part of the deal is that whoever takes over now can take over with a clearer/cleaner picture of how to move forward.
English
@MavsFilmRoom We sold off AD at his absolute lowest for salary cap relief (in which Bagley and Middleton are both upping what their price this summer will be) and a terrible picks haul. I get we needed to trade away AD for vibes but to call that trade great just ain’t true
English
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on the Mavs GM hunt, but I feel like it’s been lost how miraculous it was that Finley/Riccardi pulled off that AD to the Wizards trade
Trade got mixed reviews nationally, but if you follow the Mavs, you understand how great it was
English
@ProFootballPSI The point made isn’t that Gadsden will be relegated to second fiddle as a receiving threat in the TE group. Just that his upside is capped because he will need efficiency to produce worthwhile stats (fantasy points) due to his playing time being capped
English
The TE who averages less than 10 receptions a year is not a threat to Gadsden.
This is like saying Luke Farrell is a threat to George Kittle.
Dataroma@ffdataroma
Many seem to not understand why Oronde Gadsden not being able to block well affects his fantasy profile, so let’s break it down simply: 1. TE can’t run block inline at a sufficient level 2. They then don’t play on early downs much because run game will suffer and pass plays would be obvious if they are out there 3. Their routes are then limited because they’re not playing on these early downs (including pass plays) 4. Less routes means less opportunity for fantasy points, and less overall upside
English
@bobgrove91 @SethRorabaugh I believe the number but it feels like they’ve lost more than 10 in the previous seasons lol
English
@JFreshHockey “Big man get big trade return” is a solid strategy
English
Cynical first thought: Dubas and co. know that if they can turn this guy into anything at all, they'll get plenty more than a 3rd for him next year
JFresh@JFreshHockey
Elmer Soderblom, acquired by PIT, is an enormous depth winger. Sheltered small minutes for the Wings with very little production. #LetsGoPens
