Don’t forget he also spoke on Prime having more than enough money to fix their shitty audio delay. Speaking truth to power.

Bill is what Joe Rogan thinks Joe Rogan is

Fucking Hulu does it before the show is over

The important things in today’s crazy world.

Yep I saw one the other day

shits crazy every time q-rich and darius miles retell stories about those days lol

I was a different time. Ever see what the Bulls were working with under Jordan got them their first championship. Even then the owner blew it up after the second run

Nuggets practice in the arena. Avs don’t have a team owned practice facility, they use rec ice. It was common just 15 years ago for pro NFL teams to hold camps in small colleges and force players to sleep on bunk beds.

True they did. Imagine getting out of class and just seeing pro players go to your on campus gym lol. Must have been a trip for everyone involved.

at that point just pay journalists for some well-timed hit pieces and try to sway the voters

paying a couple mill to avoid handing out a supermax is just good business

That’s fucked up

yup, the clippers didnt really exist until sterling went out. I bet he hated that one year they played well in 06/07

Sterling’s up there with Dan Snyder as owners who were really just awful in every single way, no on-field/court success and complete assholes off it

You all are missing the point. The current Clips owner is the bad one… I heard it on a podcast.

has Tiago Splitter not been the coach? sure he is an ‘interim’ coach but besides the title he is most definitely the current head coach.

Dundon or Sterling

My friend who knows nothing about basketball references that video at least once a week after I showed it to him

HIS WHAT?

She was also his right hand arm man.

If only the new owner had a history of playing players while still cutting costs in other areas. Seems to have worked out well for the Carolina Hurricanes.

Which do you think the Blazers fans would prefer, a tightly run, accountable organization that builds success, or assistant coaches having team-paid late checkouts?

I know which I’d pick as a fan

I do wonder where Splitter goes next season.

Wonder if Milwaukee or Orlando give him a better offer than Portland

I think coaching doesn’t really matter relative to the players.

Lakers cheaped out and hired Frank Vogel instead of Ty Lue, and it worked out fine.

There’s probably a ton of super talented people in the world who would happily take the coaching job for like \(1m/year. And you wouldn't see a meaningful drop-off from a coach making \)10m/year.

Coaching and medical staffs, training facilities, team food, family support, high quality facilities, etc.

99% of how well a team does is based on how good the players are. If your cafeteria has organic grass-fed steak, it surely is better than nothing, but has marginal impact at best.

And the new CBA basically makes it where you can’t really get an advantage by spending more on players. There’s effectively a hard cap and all sorts of penalties to spending more on player salaries.

The small market owners basically want it where team success is totally random and not correlated to organizational spending, market desirability, etc.

Yeah he made his money in restaurants which obviously took a serious hit during Covid. After that he hasn’t really showed signs of being cheap

I don’t think the twist is the problem, strangely enough. I think the main problem is that the scene is crap.

Every other time we see her on camera, she’s this loud, aggressive, sneering asshole. She’s really fun to hate, because when she’s being an asshole, its usually in a hilarious way.

But this scene? She’s soft. Gentle. Demure. Everything that Phelps isn’t in the rest of the movie, she’s an entirely different character.

I think you could make the twist work by keeping her as the biggest asshole in the county. Have her mock Lou for taking so long to figure it out, taunt about how easily she could’ve ruined the team if she really wanted, maybe add in that some of the stuff she pulled was just because she found it funny. She needs to stay an entertaining asshole, can’t soften her too much…

Recently, I learned that in the original Major League script, the owner found all the players herself, posed as the villain to inspired them, and wanted them to win.

Which makes way more sense because one of the first scenes is her handing out a list and saying ‘this is who we are inviting to camp’. She had a great eye for talent! She found Taylor in Mexico, saw Cerrano’s potential and pulled Vaughn out of the the California Penal League. Top 5 GM in the league.

I’d much rather have Ballmer and it’s not even close

The point he’s making is he isn’t dumb and he’s still interested in winning. It’s incredibly hard to get over the hump as a mid market NBA team and you never do it trying to throw money at the problem.

Besides that the NHL has a hard salary cap so he doesn’t have to compete with teams that would spend more.

It’s about a mindset.
