@971theticketxyt With all the things going on in sports, this is the only show that will dedicate an entire day of outrage to press conferences.

Did the Pistons react properly to their series win over the Magic?

@morganisawizard Sounds like he doesn’t like mayonnaise as that is the prominent ingredient in most of the things she listed. I too hate mayonnaise and don’t eat anything where it’s the main ingredient. I feel like that is not a crazy preference to not like mayo.

okay but no mexican food without margaritas is completely valid

Sounds like you married an eight year old

@YDbeatz @MirkoBagzi @ModernWarzone If the people who held the same opinion as you just played ranked only (why wouldn’t they since they want to be competitive) then it wouldn’t be an issue. People who want to sweat have their own mode.
English
1) You didn’t run into them EVERY GAME
2) Imagine how EXCITING it would be to get the opportunity to run into LEBRON in an open run at the gym? Better yet, you actually SCORE on him once! Thats exciting. That’s how it should be viewed.
3) it doesn’t need to be your job. It’s a competitive shooter. That’s the literal genre of Warzone.
Play casuals all you’d like, it’s there, however my view of the mode & thoughts won’t change.

Black Ops Royale has lowered the barrier to entry for casual players to be on a level playing field with everyone else by removing the need to level meta weapons up.
However, the feedback I’ve seen from casual players is that they hate the mode and are leaving in masses.
The gameplay itself definitely favors sweatier players, but I want to hear from any of you who consider yourself casual, what do you think of Black Ops Royale / Blackout 2.0?
Are your casual friends playing or enjoying the mode? Let me know, I’m tryna see something.
English
@YDbeatz @MirkoBagzi @ModernWarzone Every game? No. But there were absolutely days where I ran into a streamer/pro I had heard of every game that day. It was exciting the first few times. But that novelty wears off real quick. How exciting would it be to score? Don’t know, never happened would just get wiped.
English
@ElVengy @guinnessstache @xFleXy_ That was during covid, when everybody was at home playing video games. Rocket league is easier to play one on one with friends, Fortnite has multiple modes (no build etc) and I don’t own a single person who plays apex.
English
@guinnessstache @xFleXy_ WZ made more money & broke record of active players when it didn’t have a Casual playlist back in 2020-2021
Fortnite, Rocket League & Apex don’t even have a Casual playlist and still are a major success. COD didn’t ever need to do this to be successful but here we are.
English
I genuinely wish we could stop actually pretending to care what the casual thinks & go back to making games for gamers. If you’re bad at the game, you’re bad at the game. Get better or leave.

@YDbeatz @MirkoBagzi @ModernWarzone I don’t know what game you are playing but in warzone I ran into pros daily. Metaphor, fifakill, Teep, cloaksy, I died to them all. It’s not about manning up and facing adversity. It’s a video game. That I play to relax. It’s not my job. Casual mode lets me do that.
English
How many LeBron James’s are there in the world?? How many are on his level or even close?
Not many right?? It’s the same with extremely good Warzone players. They’re the top 1%.
You’re not facing that level of competition in cod constantly. In fact, a very large percentage of the playerbase is under a 1 KD.
Just like if you went to the local LA fitness or YMCA. You wouldn’t run into a ton of LeBron level players but, there’s that off chance you do and guess what?!… you just fucking deal with it and not cry about…
“it’s not fair”
“He’s 6’8”
“He can dunk and I can’t.”
There are too many MEN nowadays who are scared to face adversity. That’s why they’re so weak… and YES even in video games.
English
@YDbeatz @MirkoBagzi @ModernWarzone Or, if you never played basketball before and I said the only time you’re allowed to play is against LeBron James. You’re not allowed to play other kids your skill level, you only get to lose 99-0 against LeBron.
English
@YDbeatz @MirkoBagzi @ModernWarzone Sure, but if you lost every single game of one on one basketball you ever played, would you keep playing? It’s a business, they have to keep people playing.
English
@Brallin5636952 @BarstoolUofM Fouls are subjective for the most part. It is what it is. Mara hooked too, Oscar should have definitely gotten his 5th fouls on the loose ball with Yax. All up to interpretation. Traveling is not subjective, if you lift your pivot foot it’s a travel.
English
@KurtisHalstead @BarstoolUofM Yeah I agree. The rules have slightly changed or been applied differently to how/what they count as a dribble or not though. Tkr is technically in dribble motion on that first step. He does travel later though.
Can’t ignore Morez with 2 hands on the back which is a foul by book.
English
How many steps do you count? 😂
(via outdoorguy15/tt)
English
@Brallin5636952 @BarstoolUofM For sure. Not saying it changes the outcome, but it’s annoying that at the highest levels of basketball it’s just accepted. When you learn how to play as a kid it’s literally the first rule you learn, you have to dribble the ball when you move.
English
@KurtisHalstead @BarstoolUofM Yeah I agree. Loyer probably had 2 missed walks Tkr had 2. But you’re also ignoring that Michigan had missed calls too.
English
@ThomadTimothy @BarstoolUofM The amount of blatant turnovers that aren’t called in college and pros is making the game unrecognizable. Travels, carries, foul baiting, is just annoying. It’s literally the main rule in basketball, you can’t move without dribbling.
English
@BarstoolUofM If we did that on every play for every player there would be 20 turnovers a game on each side.
English
@Brallin5636952 @BarstoolUofM I’m not saying we win if the travel calls are made, but the announcer commented multiple times “he might have walked there” at least 3-4 times and it wasn’t called once.
English
@BarstoolUofM I mean yeah it’s a travel but when trying to figure out how a red missed a call you have to watch the clip at game speed and understand where the refs were. The foot sliding happens so fast and is kind of shielded from the refs so no call makes sense.
English
@LeVeonBell That’s fine, but after seeing that, nobody is allowed to talk shit about Wilts 100 and how there isn’t footage. It couldn’t have been any worse than that.
English
if you got anything negative to say about Bam Adebayo dropping 83 POINTS, your a hater, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart .. who cares how many free throws he shot?? you still gotta MAKE the free throws and he can’t help he’s being fouled .. wtf
English
@michaelmalice Hence why democrats have never tried to push gun control bills when they have the power to do it. Only when they know it will fail but can vote for it.
English
Grok understands political strategy better than the layman does
We are reaching some sort of tipping point regarding the democratic process, and I have no idea what that will look like or mean
In a couple of years I'll be able to ask Grok to explain it to me
English
@megynkelly You know it’s a really solid take when you disable comments.
English
Dude is too weak woke and pathetic to cover hockey. He should switch to checkers.

As NHL players return to their teams, and as Team USA heads to meet with the President, remember that they've all had plenty of time to speak out, to apologize for laughing, to condemn that type of misogyny, and to tout the achievement of USA's women's team. They haven't.
English
@Markfrommi76431 @sbell021 My favorite is when they spend a whole day bitching and asking the audience if they are pissed off at some throw away comment from a press conference. Are they new to sports? They think people are giving honest deep answers to weekly press conferences?
English
@sbell021 These guys are the worst of a really shitty line-up. They manufacture drama and rage bait to get grown men to call in and argue with them. Not sure who still listens to that garbage.
English
People who tune in to a sports talk radio show where the host’s schtick is to make people feel bad for liking sports are getting exactly what they deserve.
97.1 The Ticket:@971theticketxyt
Are people getting a little too passionate about the Olympics?
English
@Guy1Michigan @sbell021 I’ve heard the new (can’t remember his name) on multiple occasions comment on some of those ridiculous takes.
English
@sbell021 This is a station thing, i firmly believe. I turned this channel on last night, and brian chapman was droning on about are the Pistons not real if they lose to san antonio and okc this week. Seriously? They are the top team…
And no mention of Usa hockey
English
@gov_fails @sbell021 Him and Rico are the only sports talk hosts I’ve ever heard that seem to hate sports. I can not remember one single instance where they seemed excited for a sporting event.
English
@sbell021 He’s the reason I no longer listen to sports talk radio.
English
@sbell021 I was still so jazzed about the gold medal game and tuned in today for like 5 minutes on the way to the grocery store and it was just immediately “people who cheer for the Olympics are fake fans” and “3 on 3 hockey isn’t REAL hockey” It must be exhausting to be that miserable
English
@BlueInNC16 @Kmac_Photo @971theticketxyt “Next score wins” in any format is objectively a bad way of deciding a champion. I throw a puck at the net and it bounces off a skate and into the net means my team is superior?
English
@Kmac_Photo @971theticketxyt It creates a higher variance outcome that de-emphasizes actual “hockey”. Every event becomes a massive swing and scoring opportunity. It’s exciting and all, but it’s objectively a bad way of deciding a champion.
English
Is TV the only reason they couldn't do 5 on 5 ot at the Olympics?
