1990s WWE Survivor Series! It had the WWF debut of The Undertaker, The Gobbledy Gooker, and @heytherejeffro! Absolute blast to talk with @MovieHooligan about it on this month's Nerd! Podcast. You should listen!

@Anthonysmdoyle Remember the episode of Parks and Rec where Paul Scheer guests and he's a "prankster" and his pranks are like "I build a playground for needy kids." or "I'm building a hospital!" and he's like "Gotcha!" ... is it like that?

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

. @chesscom Any shot to add a "No Resignation" option to game type? Loved the US vs. India and that part was rad.

Also, not sure of categories for the rematch, but I'd love if @DanielRensch could represent team USA as a player ...

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

@Anthonysmdoyle Jeff Van Gundy point about T-Mac trade:

"Team that gets the best player in the trade, wins."

100% true for the NBA. Scottie is that borderline fantastic young player that COULD become elite, but Giannis is elite. Steve Francis was same, but was never T-Mac.

[Anthony Doyle🍉 @Anthonysmdoyle]

People are insane, IMO, talking about not trading Scottie for Giannis.

Giannis has been the best player on a title team. Scottie hasn't even been the best player on a play-in team yet.

if I'm locked in a cage, and I repeatedly say I don't want to be in the cage because the cage is bad, it is not hypocritical for me to panic if the cage catches on fire with me inside

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

@fivewithflores @nbageek @boxscorebrian Oh just checking, do you mean possible bug in current year? Always scary running the numbers for the first time, and we (I) did this late this year. If it's general Wins Produced issue, more'n fine! I got into this because I love talking (and arguing) numbers.

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

If I could teleport back to 2012 me, show them this Tweet, and tell me I 100% agreed with George Karl here, I'm not sure what past me would do.

[George Karl @CoachKarl22]

Nuggets may need to start Russ the rest of this season.

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

@ArtRondeau Did @AmericanNumbers co-write this :)

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

Sometimes as a pundit Chuck forgets his history. This isn't one of those times. As a future MVP that watched the 76ers trade Moses Malone for a bag of chips when he still had a few good years left, Chuck knows about wasted primes.

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Charles Barkley on Nikola Jokic:

“You cannot waste this guy’s prime, he’s the best player in the world. Denver needs to get greedy.”

(via @NBAonTNT)

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

Horace Grant started in Finals with Orlando and

Pippen finished 3rd in MVP voting on 55 win team w/o MJ.

Rodman was 7X rebound champ, 2x DPOY on 2 Title Detroit squads.

Scott Williams not T'd incorrectly in 01, he goes to finals with Karl in Milwaukee!

[George Karl @CoachKarl22]

The Nuggets have been MORE reliant on Joker the past five years than the Bulls EVER were on Jordan.

Jokic is the primary rebounder, passer, playmaker and leader every game!

@Anthonysmdoyle I literally had an insurance company say - "The doctor says you need this, it has shown to be effective. Denied" and did that two or three times ... until I changed jobs, got a different carrier, so ... yay, good strategy.

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

Did I get my old discounts back? No. Did I waste time talking to what is likely a bad AI bot? More than likely. Lesson for any @Verizon members if they say - "You will lose upgrade eligibility" what they mean is they will start charging you for the phone you have now.

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

You will be shocked to discover Joe with the bad keyboard, later Jesse was unable to do anything ... A+ @Verizon

[Verizon Support @VerizonSupport]

@NerdNumbers I'm orry to hearyou were having a problem with your service. Let's review this together. Please send us a DM. -Joe

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

@wheatonbrando @Verizon Not shocked, sorry! I hate having to just go for biggest company in internet/phone/etc. just because need uptime

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

Absolutely horrible @Verizon service, which I know, ain't shocking. Tried to change the primary phone line on family plan. Rep had us transfer service, which lost all to our discounts. Follow up rep said nothing can be done. Just, top-notch service.

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

@VerizonSupport Do you need a new keyboard? I wouldn't be shocked if Verizon higher-ups don't want to pay for one for someone in support. I can DM, but if it's anything less than getting the old bill back to normal in < 30 minutes and not selling me, please don't waste my time.

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

@Jimmygotsoul @boxscoregeeks @jonweiler @boxscorebrian Appreciate the check. This year been pretty hectic, we're gonna try to get something up shortly.

[Andrés Alvarez @NerdNumbers]

@TyWillinganz Unless the literally made a genius defensive metric and also written some of the very NBA content, they don’t get the “They’re wrong but I’ll let it slide” you get :) Happy Turkey Day!
