I haven’t seen a lions highlight be the first Not Top Ten highlight for 52 weeks in a row, it was the first time they stopped it

Edit: forgot about the thanksgiving we found out that Avenatti ripped off my uncle for $20k, think that was 2016 but the sting of the butt fumble still burns deeper

That is true. Sounds like your thanksgiving starts with lots of shots

Shit it’s NJ stuff - worst ones where when my relative wasn’t there due to a pay to play thing with a bunch of the Dems in NJ - think they ended up doing about 1 mil into campaign donations. Everyone on their side was implicated but I think most of the guys receiving (politicians) still run the state.

I’m honestly surprised I didn’t get downvoted for that previous comment. Found this on the news tab and think anytime you bring up something Woodie Johnson or Avenatti based you just get buried on here.

Just need to invent a Time Machine and go back and attach Sanchez’s arm to Penningtons body and we might have a shot at the Super Bowl.

The Patriots, I mean the Bruins are going to stomp everybody in the playoffs this year, so what's the point?

Each league

NFL - 12 years (New York Jets)
MLS - 5 years (Houston & Chicago)
NHL - 12 years (Buffalo)
MLB - 8 years (Detroit & Los Angeles Angels)
NBA - 6 years (Charlotte)
Once you get to a decade you're in select company in US/Canada sport landscape.

How does a team with two of the best baseball players in MLB not get to the playoffs?! Ohtani and Trout? (Clueless Brit here).

False-theblackbear t1_jebl2zq wrote

The Angels have sacrificed building a complete team for signing aging players (namely hitters) for too much money, with Ohtani as the exception. They got lucky with Trout, who they drafted, but otherwise they also draft horribly. Additionally, they have consistently had a bottom 5 pitching staff in the league (and yes, even with Ohtani at full strength).

Every year there is some glimmer of hope they will be somewhere between ok and good with their new crop of signings, but each year they prove they are downright bad at winning baseball games. Its very sad to see as a fan.

Their owner is a pompous cheapskate asshole who pays for big-name flashy signings instead of developing a healthy organization. They always have talent, but never a larger plan.

Sadly, their Spanish twitter account calls themselves “Los Angels.” Missed opportunity for “Los Angeles de Los Angeles”

HighKing_of_Festivus t1_jechbg6 wrote

They aren't good at developing talent and Moreno is one of those meddling owners who loves spending but only on the shiniest toys on the market instead of what actually makes sense for the team. Leads to a listless team with consistently poor results

MaximumZer0 t1_jedcde6 wrote

What it breaks down into is this: One player cannot dominate a game of baseball like they can in soccer or basketball. The greatest hitter only hits once every nine batters. The best defensive wizards can only field the balls hit to them. The highest caliber starting pitcher will (usually) only pitch once every 5 games, and usually not a full game. The best relievers usually only work 1 inning (3 outs) at a time.

No matter how good Ohtani and Trout are, they can only do so much to influence any given game.

Same. I was just thinking that this couldn’t be true. Maybe Vezina calibre goalie, solid D core, great top 6. How would they be on a playoff drought? Especially since I then remembered them sweeping the Oilers in 2021

I'll take 12 years. It's a long time but it speaks to how much parity has come to all four 'big' sports in America. If you really want to suffer, do the KC Royals from 1986-2013.

Yeah as a Jets fan, the Lions and Browns are right down there with us as perennial shitty teams. The Browns had a good year recently but overall they're shit.

The Bengals used to be down there too but these last few years have elevated them out of the bottom tier.

He hasn’t missed a game due to covid or much injury for that matter, I would say we would require a Mono shot instead due to our quarterback missing a month plus a couple years ago. People get covid now and miss 2 days.

I mean they're in the same division as the Patriots... I wouldn't call the Jets the Yankees of the NFL, they don't even have their own stadium they just play when the Giants are on away games.

Taudruw t1_jecnu96 wrote

My point is that they aren’t allowed to be the Mets/Yankees of the NFL because the NFL has a spending limit.

MichaelHoncho52 t1_jed2yla wrote

Only team that has dominated in the NFL is the Patriots - and I don’t see too many players outside of the early teams saying they enjoyed their time there. Boston sports has been 10x more prolific with salaried teams.

Also your argument is off - Mets last won 35+ years ago and the Giants, with a cap, have won 2 super bowls in the past 20. Bills have been good in NY with a cap.

The Jets are the Devils/Islanders/Nets of the NFL — clearly less popular than a more established team (Rangers/Knicks).
