@buddy5thedog@pongo1848@UrizenOfColchis@SkullSpeedDeal Technically, he's still right though.
It wasn’t fair.
We'd kick the living shit out of a bunch of P. Islands nations... by as much as 31-0... beat New Zealand 4-0... and then run head first into a 5th placed CONMABOL (possibly w/ Maradona) team hungry after Aus played nobody.
@VitoNotVito@SkullSpeedDeal Since FIFA fucked Australia for years, giving them one of the most ridiculously difficult pathways to the World Cup, until they said "Fuck it, we'll join the AFC and make it every 4 years"...
...which was before FIFA then gave the OFC 1.5 qual slots so that NZ could walk in.
@deathmtl2474@HockeyFanRandy I wouldn't even say "just this season".
Last year, when he went down hurt, he had one less even strength goal than Larkin.
@TheLetitRidePod@AndrewDBailey You're right with "depends on the player".
Mullin's over 60 and I suspect I'd have been smoked even when I was in my prime.
Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf is 57 and playing like won't miss a shot til he turns 60...
@TheLetitRidePod@Hero_OfThe_Day The potential for Mike/Giannis breaks with Steph and KD coming down and getting secondary transition threeball spot-ups..?
*Chefs kiss*
@TheLetitRidePod@Hero_OfThe_Day I'm going:
Wemby
Giannis
KD
MJ
Steph
Enough shooting around Mike that you can't collapse on him, and high end D with two bigs who can both rotate over weakside.
@SydFarkas77@mrtonymartin@TLSChampagne Who can forget the classic "Ooh Me Plums!" Grammys specials, with precariously placed awards aplenty, and Madonna sight-gags by the barrelful...
Truly the best of British!

@Michael_Voris@mark_dow@liam43102 Wasn't aware that providing accurate context was the definition of "preening".
Fortunately, we'll never have to worry about any "preening" from you, should that be the case.
@Michael_Voris@mark_dow@liam43102 Hypothetically, if it were a billion dollars in US taxpayer dollars, it would have been a bargain.
But that isn't what happened anyway. It was Iran's own seized funds returned to them. And, technically, coincidentally.
@TheLetitRidePod @_mattschoen_ Which made no sense...
...there was actually some sensible roster construction they lucked into with the C-Webb deal, because their undrafted Ben could do a lot of the dirty graft work for their tweener Juwan.
Imagine if they let dm both cook at what they actually did well...
@TheLetitRidePod @_mattschoen_ Ben went to ORL the year after the C-Webb deal for Rock, yeah?
...so much of the WAS history blurs together for me.
Averaged 8ish boards in half a game for a few years on both. I remember taking him in the tailend of NBA Live drafts & beating the Hell out of a friend off bench.
@TheLetitRidePod @_mattschoen_ Did that team have Sheed and Brent and (about 5 seconds of...) Mark Price as well... or am I thinking of the year before?
@TheLetitRidePod Ehhhh... I think you've probably JUST gone too rich for my blood with Rafer Alston.
But it's the fact that its even close enough to be an argument...
