Nard-Man is My Father

@FedericoZappav1 @_zkyalm @every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider The “our best players are currently on or about to get super-max mega-deal contracts” police stepped in and said no. I’ve said it already. USA could probably send 3-4 separate teams that could potentially play each other in the semifinals. The A+/A teams are billion dollar squads

@coathangerbabe @_zkyalm @every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider Your doctor made you to send the b team?

@_zkyalm @every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider Absolutely is. The NBA generates unthinkable amounts of more revenue than the NHL. It’s Not that playing for country isn’t important or hockey players make s**t money - there are several players in the NBA whose salary is bigger than entire NHL teams’ payroll. Entire franchises.

@coathangerbabe @every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider Is it really ? From a european perspective, it kinda looks similar : yall are the center of attention, draw big names, have the competitive league everyone wants to join, and when it comes to international competitions, US (or Canada) wins unless there are no NHL/NBA players

@_zkyalm @every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider 2023 James Harden (PG) Desmond Bane (SG) Klay Thompson (SF) Julius Randle (PF) Bam (C) Kuzma/Rozier/J Butler (6th) is probably the 4th best starting lineup at this tourny and USA’s B squad.

@coathangerbabe @every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider By the end of ur list, it is not as strong as Germany (who has NBA players + good FIBA ones), Canada, Serbia, or France at the very least... again, at the Olympics, u guys sent the Avengers, and they barely got hold of Serbia and France

@_zkyalm @every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider Some guys coming off the bench in the NBA, 3rd option scorers, 6th men - they make more than NHL All-Stars. Hockey/Olympic Hockey comp is a tough comp. Different culture surrounding the sport American-popularity wise and especially money wise.

@coathangerbabe @every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider And this is the main problem right here : what u guys consider an "exhibition" is considered by every player thats not in the NBA "the most important tournament alongside Olympics" (non-american players also ignore their NT...) Olympics Hockey showed us the potential it could hav

@_zkyalm @every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider Keldon Johnson, Darius Garland, Desmond Bane, Tyrese Maxey, James Harden. The US could straight up send four teams to tournaments like this and probably be playing themselves by the semifinals. It’s a shame they don’t. But I get it. The best are making “can’t risk this” type $

@coathangerbabe @every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider No one can deny USA has the best team on paper, but then send them so we can see it ? We saw it at the Olympics (and it was closer than expected), now come to the World Cup maybe ? (I wont point fingers in the list u made, but some of them would not have played in the 2023 WC)

@_zkyalm @every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider That was not an A+, A or B+ team. No Tatum, KD, D Book, Dame, Steph, D Mitch, LeBron, D Fox, Jaylen Brown, Bam, Ja Morant, Julius Randle, Trae, LaVine, DeRozan, Jimmy Butler, Klay… I mean cmon. The real team USA cruises through that tournament.

@coathangerbabe @every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider And still you guys ended 4th ? + id agree that the team u sent is at least a B- team

@_zkyalm @every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider If the United States had sent their A, A-, B+, B or B- team to that tournament, they would’ve beat everyone and won handedly.

@every_sportsfan @ProjectStrider Last Time i checked, the reigning basketball world champions werr Germany

@RonDeLaPena @BPok24 If the advanced metrics and minor league stats are anything to consider, there’s decent reason to be believe Benge’s scouted offense ceiling is higher than Carroll’s, but this is a great comp! Both plus outfielders without elite arms but positive speed/baserunning comps too.

@BPok24 Can't wait! Who do you think is his closest major league comp? Corbin Carroll? Or someone else?

Carson Benge on the field for some BP. The power was on full display for the OF today; on his last swing of his last round, he put a ball onto the roof of the shed in RF. #Mets

@thEHarrisment @IQfor3 Ball knower 👑

@IQfor3 When you know you know

Karl-Anthony Towns tonight 37 points 12 rebounds 14-20 FG 3-4 3P +25

@Gilpex Was waiting for the tweet. They’ve never cut to another camera so quick haha

Lol the bullpen ripping smelling salts

@MLB Brice Turang is better than Pete Alonso?

Five new players enter the top 10 in the latest Hitter Power Rankings 💪

@MetsGiveMeAgita @SyracuseMets Him, Tong, McLean, Peterson and Senga are going to be the starting five within less than a week.

@SyracuseMets Needs to come up. It's obvious Peterson is gassed. Manaea is injured. Let's go already. Have three kids in the rotation.

Brandon Sproat was superb tonight! 7 IP, 3H, 0R, 2BB, 9K 91 pitches, 58 strikes

@MLB @MGMRewards Where is Adrian Morejon and Kodai Senga?

All-MLB predictions with less than 6 weeks to go in the regular season 👀

@AdolisMuse @StottRsl What’s fc’s mean?

@StottRsl are a demon fc !

How annoying your MLB Fanbase is:

@SteelCityBucs30 With his longevity + the state of the game and HoF in general, anything under 55.0 WAR isn’t even worth discussing. As of right now, he’s inner circle HoVeryGood.

Is it time to start the HOF discussion?

@SportsTalkATL “Left handed Freddie Freeman playing third base.” Did a five year old write this and then a four year old edit it?

Eli White last 16 games: .382 OPS Alex Verdugo last 21 games: .512 OPS No amount of defense can make up for those bats. Time for the Braves to accept the all offense lineup sportstalkatl.com/time-for-the-b…

@nyknicks I see your shot, and I’ll raise you a block.

knicks fam, this needs a caption ⤵️

@REVIVERAJA @JohnnyAime @RealJiggidy Painful, underperforming and irrelevance in the playoffs. Then a period of teams that would consistently make the playoffs on the back of great goaltending - several times high favorites to win it all. Recently, deep playoff runs, great goaltending, but heartbreaking playoff ends

@coathangerbabe @JohnnyAime @RealJiggidy I don’t follow the nhl could u pls explain how they’ve been as a franchise over the course of ur fandom?

Never trust a nigga from New York that roots against the Knicks

@JohnnyAime @RealJiggidy Mets, Jets, Rangers, Knicks. Real NY pain seekers

@RealJiggidy Knicks broke a lot of niggas hearts, I try not to judge. But there is one type of New York nigga I don’t trust. The Mets-Jets-Nets fan.
