The USMNT suddenly turned into one of the most complete team in international soccer as soon as we divided the game into four quarters. You connect the dots.
Assume the movie had flopped and the director lost his entire $750,000 investment. How many crew members would have voluntarily returned their fees to help offset his loss?
This is the fundamental asymmetry in risk and reward. When someone puts up their own capital and shoulders the real financial risk especially in a high-failure industry like entertainment they alone bear the downside.
Yet the moment the project succeeds, suddenly everyone who was paid upfront wants a bigger piece of the pie. The same people who would not have shared in the loss now feel entitled to share disproportionately in the upside.
If you accept payment for your work regardless of outcome, you’ve already been compensated for your risk (or lack thereof). Why should the person who risked everything not be allowed to reap the rewards when their gamble pays off?
My final verdict is that this COULD have been a Flagrant 2 (Wemby ejected and suspended, series over) but it's not clear, so I don't want that.
The NBA absolutely MUST upgrade this to a Flagrant 1 today, one more and Wemby is suspended. Fair for all.
Just heard John Smoltz will be in the booth tonight… so you know what that means‼️🍻
Take 1 drink for every time he mentions….
- Dimensions of Yankee Stadium
- Giancarlo Stanton’s injury history
- Aaron Judge’s injury history
- Yankees striking out too much
- 2024 World Series
Types of people at MSG for the Finals:
→ Old money guys
→ Hot girls with above ^
→ Finance bros trying to impress Becky (HR text coming)
→ Celebrities
→ Diehard normie season ticket holders
→ Corporate clients who got invited
→ Jersey guys who took the train in who can’t afford this
→ Degenerates who spent half their savings on tickets. Worth it though
→ Random guy from Queens who’s watched 82 games and knows more ball than everyone else
→ Donald J Trump
.@ZohranKMamdani yes hello it is Danhausen ~ Danhausen needs a giant floating Danhausen balloon ready for the parade that drops pizza and hot dog to all the New Yorkers.
Danhausen may be placed in between Snoopy and Garfield.
PS ~ give the muppet who lives in a garbage can an apartment so he can get off the streets and turn his life around.
Someone just asked me what my Knicks tickets would cost him for the NBA Finals.
I told him 5K.
He asked what the new price would be if he gave me a a few games of his Mets tickets as part of the deal.
I told him 8K.
Funniest part about this Knicks playoff run is we have faced Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Donovan Mitchell, and James Harden yet the only player who instilled even the slightest fear in the fan base was 34 year old CJ McCollum
Hilarious subplot right now is that there is an Indian pop star named Diljit Dosanjh performing at MSG tonight, and the thought of a bunch of unsuspecting Indian people crossing paths with the Sidetalk mutants on the night the Knicks punch their ticket to The Finals is hilarious.
