I am sorry, if people here don't respect Jimmy Butler's grit, toughness and the incredible run the Heat have made this year then you just really aren't a fan of sports.
I'm all in for the Heat, but don't think they will win. Tampa Bay would be fine with me too as long as they stop the Yankee's, but Tompa Bay not a chance. TB 12 is not looking good. That could change, but looks like father time is catching up no matter how much goop you eat.
Two of Sixer's favorite teams are the Red Sox and the Giants- hmmm, where are they in the standings these days? And, I believe, the Bruins, who were just BOUNCED by Tampa Bay. He'll be by to explain how he doesn't quite have time for sport's this particular pandemic, and is on to more intellectual pursuits...
CONGRATS to my TB Lightning for winning the Stanley Cup last night- clearly the best team in hockey, with every round just as grueling as usual in the NHL, and rock on to every FL. sports team that's currently killin' it- BIG FUN!
(Waiting for 6 to ping me- "you're Lightning? When did you start playing for them"?) ;-)
Congrats to the Lightning. A very deep team, getting it done w/o their captain and best player. And super props to the NHL who conducted the Covid-Cup tourney safely. They kept mostly with the traditional playoff format,champions still had to win 4 best of 7 game series and additionally play a 3 game seeding round ( many times playing back to back games). And they played 75% of the regular season before shutting it down. No other major league champions will compare to the Stanley Cup Champions in the Covid Era...
sorry lumber, must have misunderstood you. also, gotta say that white boy Tyler Herro is going to be a star. fucking love the Heat and what Pat Riley and Spoelstra have built
>>He'll be by to explain how he doesn't quite have time for sport's this particular pandemic, and is on to more intellectual pursuits...
Earl, getting it wrong again. Now Earl is a feeble old man - so him getting things wrong is to be expected. I never said I "didn't have time for sports" I said I don't have any desire to follow pro-sports anymore. They are a joke and the pandemic has proven what a joke they are.
It's very sad to see Earl reduced to this. Very sad. Earl has become the zone equivalent of Trump. Lie upon lie.
Also - without fans in the stands - the "games" are exposed for their core purpose. Money. This is what has quelled my desire to watch and follow them anymore.
Sixer's "desires" these day's are better left unspoken... sit's on the park bench a lot, though, pretending he's there to feed the pigeons and mumbling about Carl Crawford.
Who's Carl Crawford again? I kind of remember his name - but I forget why.
I literally stopped watching all sports (except golf when I need a nap) about three years ago after the Red Sox started to bore me by winning too much in the 21st Century. 4 times was enough. I really don't care for the state of MLB anymore and found this season to be pointless (which prompted my asterisk comment above - and I clicked into this thread originally because I thought "The Florida Foursome" was a golf reference.). And the NFL is one big brain-damaged debacle. I still like college basketball a bit - but that is technically not a "professional" sport. Hockey can still hold my interest at times, but not in empty arenas that only detach me from them. Sorry. I moved on. I have no passion for most sports anymore. Not making a big statement here - just being honest. You go ahead and enjoy sports. Please.
I like Jeopardy. Wheel puts me to sleep. However, I don't watch much TV at all lately either. I did enjoy Tiger King.
I'm more likely to stream something than watch linear TV. I only have basic cable - so those options are limited. And there is a TON of good old music concerts and such on youtube.
Life is too short for any kind of "void". The older I get - the faster time seems to go. I never have enough time in the day. Plus - I fall asleep earlier than I used to. lol
The next up of the now legendary "Florida Foursome", the Tampa Bay Rays, made quick work of Toronto, so it's on to the next round for my people. They have a very solid chance to win The AL. (Yes, Six, my people).
NFL 2020 Week 5 - Foles v Brady Super Bowl rematch at Soldier Field promises to be an air assault shoot out the likes of which has never been seen before!
Six, the intention at UF is always focused on the ships, baseball, track, golf, swimming, football, men's or women's programs, UF is not a one trick pony like the Alabama's and Volunteers out there.
>>I get it, Six, but if it was The Red Sox or NYGiants doing anything, you'd be glued to the boob tube.
I have not watched a Red Sox or Giants game in over two years, Earl. Not one. I'm really done. Sorry this seems possibly incomprehensible to you, but it is the truth.
>>Try to get in touch with reality, at least occasionally.
I am in touch with it daily. Hope you are too, but, frankly, I am a bit worried about your cognitive skills.
Also - we cut the cord with cable last year - so I don't even get professional sports on my "boob tube" any longer at all. I have Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, Showtime and HBOMax.
My testosterone - who knows? lol
I've done more hiking, climbed more mountains and paddled my kayak farther this year than I have in the last 5 years combined.
I've also read more books too.
The whole covid isolation thing has been a whole different routine for me.
I'm lucky to live in a rural place with a lot of distance as the norm. It's easy to be outside here while being away from other people.
Whoever has not been watching the NBA has missed some really good ball. Looks like the heat will go down to a powerful Laker team.
But out of all Laker teams from the past, this one is a bit odd, odd in feeling in it being a group of hired guns, kinda cheap championship with a NY Yankee feel to it, if it plays out that way
cheap in the sense that tha majority of the success was not organically built thru the draft, farm teams, G League
and since I am all pot thoughted up I will ramble more
i think all,sport leagues in the US should expand and adapt the to European soccer league that replaces their weak teams every year with the champions of the smaller city teams in the other professional leagues. No more minor league, let the Buffaloes, Portland's support their own team that could work their way to the MLB, and take the teams that refuse to upgrade out of MLB,, and the same in other sports.
in adapting to a green planet it also works into employing more people in professional sports, tomorrow's economy needs to shift towards, sports, entertainment and recreation
Same way the Patriots do, the player (less pay) and owners buy the ship. And like baseball, basketball can go over a cap if they pay a penalty. So much like our tax code in the rich get richer
Howard has burned bridges just about everywhere he has played, the same with Rondo. Older players who are potential distractions generally don't command a large paycheck.
Hopefully healthcare, cars, and with the ubundance of leagues a parent has an option of taking the family to see sports without spending a whole pay check as is now the case. The working class built these leagues in attending, gambling, viewership, and commercial support, now corporations and the upper middle class, the wealthy and single adults are the only ones that can afford a seat.
Gentrification is systemic, but it does revitalize an area, usually it is the landlords that make the money and a small number of the lower class that actually still owned those homes and sell also benifitted. Can it be done in a non systemic way, and those are discussion that hopefully going to happen more in our government between the citizens and government. Without discussion there is no chance in improving a difficult or bad thing. A start is more equality in the ability to own a home, and not to have it take such a large part of your income to hold on to it.
But would a step up for a smaller city in a sports league also be considered regentrification? larger attendance and more economy around a downtown area, and more local advertising, leading to higher property values, more attraction to downtown living. Systemic? Still at this time I would say in most situations, yes
Wow, two great teams showing us why. 1 run game between the best teams in the division. Pitching so good you didn't want to miss one. Congrats Rays, you were the Yankee's daddy all year. A no market team with about 7 fans, wtf. Ride that wave TB, make the al east proud. That fuckin Chapman bothers me
Earl, no worries with the bucs it is still the regular season, and the ship is built in November. it will be the defense that wins the ship this year, just like the last one. Brady just needs to be a bit better than Trent Dilfer. In the end Brady will get the credit, but like Gruden in the day, we all knew it was Dungy and the D that won it. Everyone loves a good poster boy
Butler and James both had great individual performances. That flagrant 1 on Howard was just a typical playoff foul, at least it used to be.
Odd little stat, heat scored 14 points on 3 possessions. That flagrant 1 turned into a six point possession, and twice heat players were fouled attempting a 3... two 4 point possessions.
nothing short of amazing last night. Jimmy cemented himself in the lore of NBA history. Duncan Robinson....are you fucking kidding me!?!?! the gauge for me when sports is just exactly perfect is when goosebumps start popping up on my arms. that 4th quarter was nothing short of goosebumps mania. the dual in the last 2 minutes has to go down as a top ten moment in NBA finals history.
A valiant series by the under-achieving Miami Heat- honestly did not have much time to watch them between amazing hockey and now baseball, but congrat's on a memorable season.
The Rays- absolutely scintillating.
^ (Kind of a douchey post there, Bluest. Wrong side of bed, or just wish you lived here?)
Seems like the Rays are WS bound after 3 very intense games against the cheating Astro's. Nobody feeling sorry for them- or Altuve...
The other high-end payroll team- LA- on the verge of underachieving and flopping out, setting up an all "SE Corner" Series. Straight from the Stanley Cup intensity to this has been a blast, although that 12:30 AM ending last night must have been rough on the East Coast working stiff.
Hope you and all the Rays fans are enjoying the ride, Earl. Digging the idea of a Southern Series. Too bad these games are in the bubble as Atlanta-Tampa would qualify as a Freeway Series. A buddy of mine who's from Tampa told me that these are the easiest World Series tickets to get in ages if you have an itch to go to Dallas.
We Rays folk, of the small-market little brother's of The AL East, are loving The Red Sox sucking in a royal way. May you stay in last place many moons.
6 used to be a Sox fan, but has bailed during their current decline.
Great game last night. Thought Arozarena was dead meat after he stumbled coming around third, and seconds later he was crawling across home plate for the winning run!
Wow, what an ending. And what a game. I'm enjoying the series. Usually wait til the playoffs to watch baseball. Too boring.
Even though his Lightning whooped my Islanders, Earl's a nice guy and I've caught the bug for the Rays. Love seeing the little guys whoop on the big money teams.
But Earl, I'm drawing the line on the Bucs. NO WAY, bud!
No psychic skills needed. My friends who are pats fans up here are all kinds of dejected and indicate that they are more excited about Brady and Gronk rejoined in Buc land more than they are in Cam Newton. Apparently there are many Tampa Bay fans in New England now. At least for Football.
I also heard the Giants won a game. A game. Man, they must suck.
Soooo- football history being made by Brady and the Buc's tonight. Love or hate the guy, you have to respect greatness. 10 SB appearances- highly unlikely that will ever happen again.
Just rained a while ago, and it looks to be warm and dry tonight- hopefully a classic and, of course, a Buc's win!

Gentrification is systemic,
Gentrification is systemic, but it does revitalize an area, usually it is the landlords that make the money and a small number of the lower class that actually still owned those homes and sell also benifitted. Can it be done in a non systemic way, and those are discussion that hopefully going to happen more in our government between the citizens and government. Without discussion there is no chance in improving a difficult or bad thing. A start is more equality in the ability to own a home, and not to have it take such a large part of your income to hold on to it.
But would a step up for a smaller city in a sports league also be considered regentrification? larger attendance and more economy around a downtown area, and more local advertising, leading to higher property values, more attraction to downtown living. Systemic? Still at this time I would say in most situations, yes

Wow, two great teams showing us why. 1 run game between the best teams in the division. Pitching so good you didn't want to miss one. Congrats Rays, you were the Yankee's daddy all year.

Earl, no worries with the bucs it is still the regular season, and the ship is built in November. it will be the defense that wins the ship this year, just like the last one. Brady just needs to be a bit better than Trent Dilfer. In the end Brady will get the credit, but like Gruden in the day, we all knew it was Dungy and the D that won it. Everyone loves a good poster boy

What a game last night... heat vs Lakers.
Butler and James both had great individual performances. That flagrant 1 on Howard was just a typical playoff foul, at least it used to be.
Odd little stat, heat scored 14 points on 3 possessions. That flagrant 1 turned into a six point possession, and twice heat players were fouled attempting a 3... two 4 point possessions.

Duncan Robinson....are you fucking kidding me!?!?! the gauge for me when sports is just exactly perfect is when goosebumps start popping up on my arms. that 4th quarter was nothing short of goosebumps mania. the dual in the last 2 minutes has to go down as a top ten moment in NBA finals history.

Seems like the Rays are WS bound after 3 very intense games against the cheating Astro's. Nobody feeling sorry for them- or Altuve...
The other high-end payroll team- LA- on the verge of underachieving and flopping out, setting up an all "SE Corner" Series. Straight from the Stanley Cup intensity to this has been a blast, although that 12:30 AM ending last night must have been rough on the East Coast working stiff.

Hope you and all the Rays fans are enjoying the ride, Earl. Digging the idea of a Southern Series. Too bad these games are in the bubble as Atlanta-Tampa would qualify as a Freeway Series. A buddy of mine who's from Tampa told me that these are the easiest World Series tickets to get in ages if you have an itch to go to Dallas.

Fair weather? That's in Florida.
In Vermont it's pretty cold already and we had some snow in the hills over the weekend.
Now you may be an expert on low testosterone, though. That I'm not positive on.
