@jon_palmer4133 @IsaacAzout Correction: worst franchise in MLB.
Stadium itself is nice.

The sweet 16 teams of the men’s NCAA basketball tournament. Who would make the Final Four if it were based on how cool their football helmets look?
*St John’s helmet is a potential design from @CFBHome
English
@BetUS_Casino A fair question. I think it has to be Wade.
At their best, Wade was better. Durant was good for longer. But Wade brought LeBron, and Heat franchise ascended with him. Durant was on a bunch of teams that didnt benefit much in retrospect. Couldn't with with Westbrook & Harden
English
@_JoeManzo Valid, but does that make him more valuable, pound for pound?
English
Who's the worst player?? 🏀
Rank the 10 in the comments ✍️
English
@BetUS_Casino Wade carried a team to a title with the best Finals performance since Jordan. Durant never matched that.
English
@ElbosFromDuke @MiamiCanes1971 Right. Just cling to the results on the field and every ranking system in place to determine which teams are better. But we all know what really matters is...a conference's tiebreaker, used to break ties among wholly unequal and partial schedules. Sharp.
English
@MiamiCanes1971 @_JoeManzo Cling tight to human polls and stay away from standings. You are incredibly retarded.
You are so upset over Duke football and it’s fucking comical as hell. We barely have a football team and won the conference.
Anyway, check out the ratings Tim.
Duke is your daddy

List of programs who would choose “7-5, missed CFP, but won the ACC” over “13-3, made CFP, won 3 Playoff games, played for a Natty”
1. Duke
2. FSU
End of list 😂😂😂😂😂
USA FOREVER@ElbosFromDuke
@betweencfbnfl @MiamiCanes1971 Thank you for manny. He has more ACC titles than the history of university of Miami 😂🫵
English
@ElbosFromDuke @MiamiCanes1971 It was not the best team in the conference. Thats why it missed the playoff while another ACC team went to the playoff, and why it finished unranked while another ACC team finished No. 2.
English
@_JoeManzo @MiamiCanes1971 But are you? Duke was the best team in the conference.
English
@ElbosFromDuke @MiamiCanes1971 You can call being better than 133 of the 134 other teams making a team a "bridesmaid" all you want, but it doesnt change the fact that it's still better than whatever you call the other 133 teams.
English
@_JoeManzo @MiamiCanes1971 That’s right! Being the bridesmaid is something to be really proud of. Celebrate playing for something.
I’ve never seen a fan base content with losing a postseason game in their home stadium like Miami fans.
Can’t win the ACC so discredit it. Then praise being a bridesmaid.
English
@ElbosFromDuke @MiamiCanes1971 Right. Winning the ACC but being so bad you still miss the playoff is something to be proud of, but getting in, winning 3 playoff games, and playing for a title is not. Obviously
English
@MiamiCanes1971 Hahahahahaahaha “played for a natty”. Bridesmaid never the bride. Be proud of that retard.
English
@CuseFootballGuy Laughter is good.
Glad to see Syracuse opens with UNH. Spending the last three quarters without a possession when leading or trailing by less than three scores against a team whos best win eneded up being Miss St in OT was embarrassing for the entire conference.
English
With Angeli: blown out be team that finished with no wins over a team with a winning record, OT win at home over UConn.
Syracuse fans: we went 3-9 but our coach is great and we would've dominated but for one QB injury.

@jwade777 @CollegeFBPortal @315CUSEMEDIA @FranBrownCuse @CuseFootball @_youngshiner_n1 Don’t pop it cuz u beat a 4th string Qb last season 👎🏽
English
@BuckeyeNatty Battle to get shots close to the basket, and opponents keeping you away from the basket, is interesting. Watching who can hit long shots at a more efficient clip is utterly boring.
English
@BuckeyeNatty 100 percent right. The game itself is now a bore, and that is the reason.
English
I don’t think people stopped watching the NBA because of “woke politics”
They stopped because the product simply sucks
Nobody wants to watch two teams chuck 80+ threes — it’s stale
20 years ago: ~21 threes per game
Today: ~43
It’s doubled…
Clay Travis@ClayTravis
NBA ratings are at multi-decade lows for the NBA Finals. The NBA’s all time most watched game was in 1998. This year the NCAA tourney is setting all time record viewership. The Super Bowl all time high was two years ago. Why has NBA tanked while other leagues soared? Vote below.

@SteveCampy You dont think we could pull up plenty of suburban murders too?
About 3,000,000 people in Chicago and plenty of others commute in.

A nice espresso machine is $600 and I can make a latte at home without getting robbed or shot or stepping in human shit
Maddie@baddiemaddie43
The city vs suburb discourse is hilarious to me because you can’t convince me you’re happy living in a place that you have to use a car to go to a local coffee shop…
English
Would love to see experimenting with no 3 pointers. Basketball is more entertaining when teams fight to get close to the basket and deep shots are inferior rather than preferred.
DJ Zullo@DJAceNBA
It’s jarring how many people I know who couldn’t care less about the NBA right now. Was at a brewery last weekend watching the NCAA and it was like pulling teeth trying to get anyone to talk about the league. The NBA has a serious cultural problem with the American sports fan.
English
@TomThom66979236 @jimshapiro Absolutely. Far reaching consequences.
Most either (1) go to some shitty overpriced college to continue playing or (2) struggle with loss of identity. Parents are worse off monetarily & less likely/able to pay for college. Countless hours wasted. It's so dumb. Insane.
English
@jimshapiro I have said for years that someone should do a documentary on this grift. Baseball being the most egregious. Next step for many kids.. is D3 athletics. Exorbitant tuition to play "at next level" if your kids team has "elite" in the name. Your kid is average
English
If I hear one more story of a select basketball team traveling to Vegas, Orlando, Dallas, etc. I’m gonna loose it.
The kids are 10 years old!
How about you pay for a membership to a local YMCA. Shoot hoops, lift weights, learn how to swim!
That’s a better long-term investment.
English
@GaltMD @nickgillespie I think the difficulty is we imagine success as producing a moderate lifestyle without money concerns and the ability to stop working after a number of years of earning well, and the latter feels unattainable at $500k or even double that per year.
English
@nickgillespie It does mean that as long as you don’t buy some insane 2 million dollar mansion, you don’t worry about monthly expenses like at all. That’s true and a major luxury. But it absolutely doesn’t mean you’re taking the Learjet to Cabo which I think is what many imagine.
English
'“I think we’re middle class for this area,” Mr. O’Leary said.'
In fact, per a link in the article: median household income in 2023 for their neighborhood was $155,710; for the city as a whole, $79,480.
Why do so many people live in fantasyworlds abt their own wealth?
English
@BaldwinIVofJer Not someone with that attitude so not really directed at me, but college is probably the best place. Where I met my wife.
English
Honestly want people with this attitude to explain where a Catholic man seeking a Catholic wife in a non-Catholic majority country should seek them? And don’t say Catholic Match, because that didn’t exist until 5 minutes ago.
English
@InezFeltscher 100 percent. Insurance is to protect against unexpected and unlikely loss. Something inevitable should not be insured. "Maintenance insurance" is a misnomer; its not really insurance at all.
English
Catastrophic insurance is actually what “insurance” is supposed to mean. Routine costs (doc visits, occasional urgent care, prescriptions, the sort of stuff that people predictably use) were paid in cash - and were cheaper because of it. INSURANCE was supposed to be for unpredictable costs, like getting cancer or hit by a bus. And catastrophic insurance was fantastic for that purpose without breaking the bank. “Insurance” for predictable, routine costs that most people incur is just called “paying overhead on top of expenses,” which is why most people carry accident insurance but not maintenance insurance on their cars.
It wasn’t consumers who were stupid.
Launch! - Blue Haired Liberal@DBZYuYuYasha
@InezFeltscher Catastrophic insurance basically isn't insurance. That's why it was effectively banned. Most consumers don't understand how it would work and therefore it's not fit to sell.
