Addressing some of the incentives around three point shooting(and we've discussed them before ) would be helpful, but I'm curious if they've worked out the competitive balance issues that have plagued the league since LeBron's prime and the rise of Golden State. This is compounded by the fact that ...

I'm curious if anyone has seen this where they live, since I discovered it in the summer I've been regularly checking the regional hospital capacity statistics provided by the state as a barometer for adjusting my own behavior. Our area has seen a huge spike in cases for a long enough period of tim...

I haven't thought deeply about this, but I think it's worth considering that there's a spectrum involved with the approach to the next 1-3 years. Yes, the last time the Cubs had a regime change they were very bad for several years in order to get the talent that propelled them to success. They also ...

On another note, MLS playoffs have been extremely bonkers in the most MLS way. Here’s a brief series of events from yesterday’s Orlando/NYCFC shootout. - Orlando leads 4-3 heading to the 5th round - Orlando’s keeper saves the PK, celebration ensues, including Orlando’s coach sprinting into the tunne...

The homer in me is starting to think it’s not gonna matter that Liverpool lost their CB pairing. I mean today they had no Salah, Henderson, Thiago, TAA, Gomez, or Van Dijk and they manhandled Leicester. In practice they’ll probably have a dip in form or the fixture condition will add up, but at leas...

I'm not an economics wonk, but I'm confused by the framing v. covid relief ideas. Is covid relief supposed to be an either/or proposition with student debt cancellation? I've always interpreted it as separate and additive/forward facing compared to anything addressing the pandemic. As such I'd think...

I think things can be two things. The media's instinct for neutrality, like with so many things in this administration, is underselling the degree that this isn't business as usual, and is in extremely bad faith/damaging to our democracy. At the same time, changing the headline to 'Lindsay Graham's ...

I like Weah, but he has 1000 professional minutes, 7 pro starts, and 1 goal/0 assists outside the scottish premiership. He doesn't belong in a tier with Champions League regulars and a nailed on Bundesliga starter. Heck by new years Musah will be past him in pro minutes and starts.

I'm actually less worried than I've ever been about Pulisic given the development of other talent in the pool and how much of it is at its best in his spot anyway. Yes I want a 70 million dollar winger playing for the US, but the gap in quality between #1 and #3-4 at that position is shrinking as th...

Also, as the tweets from the politics thread over the weekend indicate, those most skeptical of a vaccine are probably more likely to have already been infected(and have some level of immunity anyway) than those eager to get the vaccine.

I think things would have to swerve really wrong with the vaccines for next summer to not be massively different than this year. I agree with this, with the caveat that things like stadium concerts ideally should be about the last thing to come back, so some caution about that in particular should ...

Just getting the trash talk started early

Tonight in this case means it kicks off in 15 mins since the game is in England.

Anyone else catch Queen's Gambit yet? I'm a chess nerd, so a lot of times, I get taken out of stuff like this when there is some small thing they screw up. But in addition to being beautifully shot, having a ridiculously attractive lead, and a decent story line, it completely nails the chess. I was...

Yeah, no need for Biden to spend any time on that. Biden can focus on COVID and the economy, and you sick a competent, vicious AG on Trump and Co. I would have said Kamala previously, but since she is VP, who do we pick? There is buzz around Andrew Cuomo. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Doug Jones. https://m...

This is the first mention I've seen of specific timelines people would start getting it.

wouldn't end of second quarter be early summer/late spring (i.e. june)

Maybe a fiscal v. calendar year thing.

Yeah, from my uneducated POV unless that GSA/transition stuff becomes a much bigger hangup most of the work would be done by the new administration.

It is so deeply funny to me that the press conference is at a landscaping place.

What's the best way to deal with the toxicity of QAnon? It's a load of horsefeathers that people were sucked into, I'd like to see it exposed and crushed, maybe, criminal charges? Deplatforming them. That would help prevent them from mutating to capture more of the suburban mom/anti-vaxxer crowd li...

Yessssssss
