@971theticketxyt I’ve never seen a show get more worked up about press conferences. It’s every time. They’re not going to give you any meaningful insight to their plans. Why would you let other teams know your plans? Or bad mouth your own players?

[Kurtis Halstead @KurtisHalstead]

@971theticketxyt With all the things going on in sports, this is the only show that will dedicate an entire day of outrage to press conferences.

@morganisawizard Sounds like he doesn’t like mayonnaise as that is the prominent ingredient in most of the things she listed. I too hate mayonnaise and don’t eat anything where it’s the main ingredient. I feel like that is not a crazy preference to not like mayo.

@YDbeatz @MirkoBagzi @ModernWarzone If the people who held the same opinion as you just played ranked only (why wouldn’t they since they want to be competitive) then it wouldn’t be an issue. People who want to sweat have their own mode.

[Kurtis Halstead @KurtisHalstead]

@YDbeatz @MirkoBagzi @ModernWarzone Every game? No. But there were absolutely days where I ran into a streamer/pro I had heard of every game that day. It was exciting the first few times. But that novelty wears off real quick. How exciting would it be to score? Don’t know, never happened would just get wiped.

@ElVengy @guinnessstache @xFleXy_ That was during covid, when everybody was at home playing video games. Rocket league is easier to play one on one with friends, Fortnite has multiple modes (no build etc) and I don’t own a single person who plays apex.

@YDbeatz @MirkoBagzi @ModernWarzone I don’t know what game you are playing but in warzone I ran into pros daily. Metaphor, fifakill, Teep, cloaksy, I died to them all. It’s not about manning up and facing adversity. It’s a video game. That I play to relax. It’s not my job. Casual mode lets me do that.

@YDbeatz @MirkoBagzi @ModernWarzone Or, if you never played basketball before and I said the only time you’re allowed to play is against LeBron James. You’re not allowed to play other kids your skill level, you only get to lose 99-0 against LeBron.

[Kurtis Halstead @KurtisHalstead]

@YDbeatz @MirkoBagzi @ModernWarzone Sure, but if you lost every single game of one on one basketball you ever played, would you keep playing? It’s a business, they have to keep people playing.

@Brallin5636952 @BarstoolUofM Fouls are subjective for the most part. It is what it is. Mara hooked too, Oscar should have definitely gotten his 5th fouls on the loose ball with Yax. All up to interpretation. Traveling is not subjective, if you lift your pivot foot it’s a travel.

[Kurtis Halstead @KurtisHalstead]

@Brallin5636952 @BarstoolUofM For sure. Not saying it changes the outcome, but it’s annoying that at the highest levels of basketball it’s just accepted. When you learn how to play as a kid it’s literally the first rule you learn, you have to dribble the ball when you move.

[Kurtis Halstead @KurtisHalstead]

@ThomadTimothy @BarstoolUofM The amount of blatant turnovers that aren’t called in college and pros is making the game unrecognizable. Travels, carries, foul baiting, is just annoying. It’s literally the main rule in basketball, you can’t move without dribbling.

[Kurtis Halstead @KurtisHalstead]

@Brallin5636952 @BarstoolUofM I’m not saying we win if the travel calls are made, but the announcer commented multiple times “he might have walked there” at least 3-4 times and it wasn’t called once.

[Kurtis Halstead @KurtisHalstead]

@LeVeonBell That’s fine, but after seeing that, nobody is allowed to talk shit about Wilts 100 and how there isn’t footage. It couldn’t have been any worse than that.

[Kurtis Halstead @KurtisHalstead]

@michaelmalice Hence why democrats have never tried to push gun control bills when they have the power to do it. Only when they know it will fail but can vote for it.

[Kurtis Halstead @KurtisHalstead]

@megynkelly You know it’s a really solid take when you disable comments.

[Kurtis Halstead @KurtisHalstead]

@Markfrommi76431 @sbell021 My favorite is when they spend a whole day bitching and asking the audience if they are pissed off at some throw away comment from a press conference. Are they new to sports? They think people are giving honest deep answers to weekly press conferences?

[Kurtis Halstead @KurtisHalstead]

@Guy1Michigan @sbell021 I’ve heard the new (can’t remember his name) on multiple occasions comment on some of those ridiculous takes.

[Kurtis Halstead @KurtisHalstead]

@gov_fails @sbell021 Him and Rico are the only sports talk hosts I’ve ever heard that seem to hate sports. I can not remember one single instance where they seemed excited for a sporting event.

[Kurtis Halstead @KurtisHalstead]

@sbell021 I was still so jazzed about the gold medal game and tuned in today for like 5 minutes on the way to the grocery store and it was just immediately “people who cheer for the Olympics are fake fans” and “3 on 3 hockey isn’t REAL hockey” It must be exhausting to be that miserable
