@MobstersDaily The scene also evokes the final scene of godfather 2 . I think the bell is Tony’s realization that his time is also coming …the bell tolls for thee
@bryan_johnson I wonder what Vince Lombardi would have said if one of his players showed up and was like “coach I can’t practice today I had a cup of coffee 24 hours ago it’s just not safe”
@MarkCHealey The only weakness on the 88 meta was Hernandez at first. That team was stacked and McReynolds was a very good player. Mitchell was better but that trade wasn’t part of why they lost in 88. Replace Hernandez with a power hitting first baseman and the team is loaded
@TrdDavis@MarkCHealey Knight was washed he never played another full season in the majors. Hojo ended up being a 30-30 guy. No idea why anyone would say letting knight go was a mistake
@MarkCHealey Out of consensus opinion: the Mets biggest mistake in the post 1986 era was holding onto Keith Hernandez too long and not replacing him with a power hitting first baseman. They had a singles hitter at first in ‘88 and Hernandez actively messed with the development of Jefferies
@OleTimeHardball Gooden also was burned out pitching way too many innings at age 19 and 20. Straw still hit 400 hrs despite it all…would have easily been a hall of famer had he not disappeared for much of the early-mid 90s .
@BigBlueVCR@PhilSimmsQB@OJAnderson24 1988 and 1989 giants are in retrospect two big whiffs for parcells. If they don’t lose to the rams in 89 in a crazy game they would have been playing the niners for the conference title. It is not hard to imagine them winning that game, winning in 1990 and giants are the dynasty
@donnelly_brent@MacroAlf Put vol has gone up because the Cbrt is using gold in FX management now. So anytime they intervene gold has the potential to crash. That changes the profile…I’d expect this skew to remain until the war is over
@profplum99 Gen z has also spent much of their adult life in the great inflation and its aftermath whereas older generations saw a few decades of falling inflation
@FezzikSports@round2vsnichols I once hit 61% ATS picking four games a week for a season. Was documented on sharp sports betting back in the day and they asked me to be a moderator. Doubt I ever would have come close to that again. You could lose on variance
@BleacherReport The most unstoppable relative to how “stoppable” the player was in real life was Kordell Stewart in the old madden games. For some reason they felt Stewart was like the Lamar Jackson of the late 1990s despite not even being a starter in real life.
