yes, he was definitely a bright spot last year and we needed a left back. Also was a natural fit for a midwestern boy who’s been bouncing around since college. Would love to keep him, but i understand the realities and what will likely happen if he has another good season with us.

I wish I lived closer so I could go in person, and now who knows what will happen when they start playing again, if/when they allow fans again, etc. They are supposed to come to LA in August…i might try to go if fans are allowed.

Still regretting that I missed this:

the US broadcast of bayern vs dortmund has artificial crowd noise put onto it, and it is THE FUCKING WORST.

clearly its added just to the broadcast because the comentators were talking about how quiet it is and they keep talking about how you can hear the players talk, but all we are getting is poorly timed crowd noise that doesnt match the action…

whoever decided this course of action is my least favorite person ever…

eta- apparently it is only the fox sports 1 broadcast, a buddy of mine said he found a stream without it. so its fox’s dumb idea.

All it took was a global health crisis to get the Rangers in the playoffs. I’ll take it.

As someone who bets sports for more than just fun, the post-corona football world have been quite hell-ish.

Western Conference:

California: 3 teams, 0 in playoffs
Not California: 12 teams, 12 in playoffs

CA GOAT.

Lol, really? Great job, Chokes

I’m watching the 30 for 30 on Lance Armstrong now while riding my exercise bike. It’s so good.

Detroits 17-54-5 is an all timer how is that possible lol. Teams worse than this were pretty much in one of their first two seasons in the league (back when they didn’t get shit at first).

Holy shit the Leafs made the playoffs!

Has there ever been a 30 for 30 or other documentary about the last black caddies at the Masters/Augusta? That has to be a fascinating subject. They’ve basically been edited out of history whenever and wherever possible. But a few highlights slip through.

the worst part is they’re near the cap! I thought Ottawa and Charlotte were going to be the worst nba/nhl teams this year but both competed very well relative to their talent.

edit - oops, missed that 93 min goal.

Can’t wait for football to return on the 17th. It’ll probably totally fuck my bets up but I was enjoying betting this season.

What time did you place that bet? HT or before KO? Did you place any more correct score bets on that game?

Variance horror pic coming up…

Ok, I was just wondering why you chose 2-2 before KO.

Those outsider scores are definitely better value than the shorter priced scores but you need the patience of Job to put up with the variance of backing at high odds - it’s not for me. The pic I posted is from backing at an average of around 3/1 and it’s still horrible.

Better than backing wins at 16/1 and 12/1 would be laying the draw at Betfair - you’d get better odds.

you do not want to see my graphs then lol
