Well Monty figured it out after only 20 games they need spacing so I'm sure he's got it figured out how to guard Embiid. -
If Egypt opened their border, I would demand the US and Canada provide aid to Egypt and other Arab countries who take in refugees and take refuges themselves. Put them in Tliab's district before Trump bans them.

On a side note, probably the worst think Biden did was pull out of Afghanistan. His approval rating took a hit and never recovered. No president is ever going to pull out of a war now. These antiwar tankies gave him no credit for doing what they demanded he do.

Christ almighty if TikTok existed during WWII. Dumbass kids would be gluing themselves to the street to hand over Poland to Germany.

2023 MLB (non-Tigers) catch all thread
Motown Bombers replied to Tigeraholic1's topic in Detroit Tigers
That's not an accurate comparison. If you reduce the NFL schedule, different teams would have been eligible. If MLB schedules were reduced, you would see different roster construction. Likely shorter rotations and teams would spend even more on starting pitching. The issue, no team in the NFL has a competitive advantage. Regardless of the length of schedule, teams in MLB will have competitive advantages. That means a lot of fanbases seasons will be over before they start whereas the NFL has teams that are competitive in non big markets that keeps fan interested. The Chiefs are way more popular than the Royals because they are able to keep the best player in the league on their team. The Royals would never be able to get the best player on their team. -
I wonder where all these ceasefire left wing tankies were when Asad was killing all his people? So many young leftists siding with terrorists is deeply unsettling to me.
-
The US has. The fact that more people aren't did is because of the US. The fact is, Israel can make Gaza disappear without US aid. The thing is, people are demanding a ceasefire and that ceasefire is directed only at Israel.
-
We know Hamas won't surrender, so instead of demanding the US make Hamas surrender we demand Israel to a ceasefire? The ****ed up logic of left wing tankies.
-
The US isn't doing ****. Israel is the one doing the bombing. The hubris of Americans to think they can control Israel. Biden and the US are the reason the death toll isn't higher. You want to help Palestinians then demand Egypt open their border and have these Arab countries take in refugees.

In the AFC there is only one team, New England, who is not within two games of playoff spot. In the NFC, only three teams are not within one game of the playoffs. I forgot about Arizona so we'll say 29 of 32. Keep in mind the NFL season is 75% over and most of the league is within a playoff spot. -

I'm feeling pretty good about this game. Sixers by 15. -
I just can't imagine if a bunch of Canadians parachuted into Lollapalooza and raped and beheaded thousands of people, pillaged the southside of Chicago burning people out of their homes, parading their corpses in the streets, and took a couple hundred hostages back to Canada that people wouldn't be demanding the US go into Canada and smoke all these terrorists out of whatever hole they are hiding in.

Yes? but you can't compare McDonalds to Taco Bell because Taco Bell is international. -
Hamas broke the ceasefire from two weeks ago. All these calls for a ceasefire are one sided. They all want Israel to ceasefire.

If it wasn't a better product, people wouldn't be consuming it at levels higher than MLB. There's also the Dodgers. Just looking at their roster they have Betts, Freeman, and now Ohtani that came from other teams that they offered a pile of cash to. Kershaw is a home grown talent but they also paid a lot to keep him that many other teams couldn't afford. -

Because the Cardinals and Braves have more resources than the A's and Rays to keep their players. In the NFL the A's and Rays would have the same resources as the Cardinals and Braves to keep their players. The Cardinals and Braves are the middle class of MLB. They have enough money to keep their players but not enough to consistently poach star players from other teams. I think I have been pretty clear about what I mean by rewarding teams who draft well. The Dombrowski Tigers are the perfect example of a team who benefited from other teams drafting and developing well. The Tigers threw a lot of money at Ordonez and Rodriguez, traded prospects for Cabrera, prospects they paid over slot for, threw $200 million at Prince Fielder when they need a one year stopgap at DH, and only developed Verlander who they paid over slot for and possibly Granderson. You also repeat the reasons why the NFL is better. There is no hard salary cap. That's an issue. The NFL didn't always have a hard salary cap. I can objectively say the NFL is better because every metric says it is such as viewership, money etc. -

The Cardinals and Braves are most like NFL teams. They draft and develop well, keep their homegrown players for the most part, and will sign free agents to fill out the roster. -

I just don't think the current system in MLB rewards teams who draft and develop well the way the NFL does. Some teams in MLB are just advanced farm teams for MLB teams. -

I would also argue teams like Oakland and Tampa are handicapped because they have to draft well and win while their players are on rookie contracts because they will most likely lose them. In the NFL, the greatest player ever signed with Tampa because they had as much money as any other team to offer Brady and made the case they were the best team for Brady and not the one with the most money. -

Currently 30 of 32 teams have real a possibility of making the playoffs in the NFL right now. The parity is that all teams are working from the same budget. The Lions have been a historically bad franchise because of poor ownership and the inability to draft and develop players. It's not because a handful of teams have an unlimited budget and can just sign away their stars. I have no fear if the Lions wanted to sign Goff, St Brown, and Sewell to extensions they will be able to because they have the same budget as every other team. If Torkelson and Greene become stars, I have no faith that the Tigers can compete with the Dodgers or Yankees or one of the few teams with nearly unlimited budgets. The Tigers aren't rewarded for drafting and developing those players like the Lions are for drafting and developing St Brown and Sewell. The Dombrowski Tigers got rewarded for never drafting and developing players. Only Verlander and they really shouldn't have been able to draft Verlander. They were able to because they were willing to pay more. At least MLB fixed that. -
Why don't progressives just tell Palestinians to hand over Gaza to keep peace since they are going to lose to Israel like they tell Ukraine to just hand over territory to Russia? How does a ceasefire work when Hamas has broken every ceasefire and continues to state publicly they will attack Israel?

LOL they wanted to keep Cabrera. They couldn't pay him what the Tigers and other teams were able to pay. I also bet if money was equal, Cabrera would have preferred to stay in Florida.
