Poll of the Day > Sports Discussion Topic #177: The Playoffs are the REAL Golden Nights

(+) Yeah! (+)

Harper is really good when he's on a tear but he's just so inconsistent. And he has a punchable face so I have to factor that in

He's 100% a hall of fame talent but he's just not the GOAT or at least not yet. He was a victim of the hype surrounding him since he was touted as the LeBron James of baseball and he was that level of a prospect and now that he's merely a great player everyone shits on him

I don't know why I said or at least not yet. He will never be the GOAT at this point but he could still become an amazing player

I never really watched his shows that much, but Anthony Bourdain's suicide was a huge bummer for me. I think he's just one of those people you can appreciate even if you don't know much about him. He had a sharp wit and strong appreciation for all cultures. Almost everyone dreams of getting to do the kinds of things he did, and yet it shows that somebody with all those opportunities can still have a tough time in life. RIP

Also, Shohei Ohtani is going to the DL. Today sucks. What else... probably the Warriors putting an end to another boring NBA season. At least we had a nice half a day to enjoy the Capitals' victory

I literally never watched even one minute of his shows but he did seem to be a cool guy.

I only ever saw clips of his shows but I agree. He seemed like a cool guy with the perfect life. Very sad.

I read his book and watched his show a good bit. Learned a lot from him. Even saw him speak in person one time at a public library before he got really famous

Are any of you voting in your primaries? They changed the law here so unaffiliated voters can vote in primaries but when I got my ballots the other day I realized you're only allowed to fill one out for one party, lame (but totally fair and probably wise). I still don't feel like registering because I don't want a bunch of party spam. Sounds like there's no benefit to me at this point, no?

Anyways, I feel like it's important to vote but I hardly know anything about these races and for each ballot there are only like two or three races out of ten-ish total that actually have more than one option

Clean sweep for Oakland. Cavs looked like they gave up.

More like Cavaliers wish they had got rid of JR Smith 2 years ago.

We don't have to register a party affiliation but in Wisconsin people are able to pay to see who voted for which party. My wife gets a lot more spam mailings and calls because she tends to vote closer to one party. I don't get much because I vote all over the place so I appear less partisan.

My Dubs did it!

Congratulations to me and my lifelong fandom of Golden State

Wait, I just noticed Cards said the same thing right above me. I am a fool.

Jr Smith somewhere stoned out of his mind getting ready for game five.

Who's the JR of this topic

SpeeD

True.

Baseball is the only remaining sport. It won the battle Royale (modern gaming ref) well done baseball.

Ovi isn't gonna be sober until January. His drunk party tour is the best.

There's probably enough DNA on the cup to clone a new hockey team

Ovi fucked the cup.

This is a man living his best life.

When the Jets lost, I thought to myself "Okay this better be the year Ovi wins the cup"

Also, the player who deserves to win the cup the most is now Thornton, but he's in San Jose so that's not going to happen. :'(

Uhh...

*goes to Wikipedia*

...I can kind of see it?

Dang I got a character that was added after I stopped playing

So please explain

I actually agree with most of those but I don't see how I'm D.Va. I wonder what connection you're seeing.

Oh, is it that I'm playing games all day? I could see that.

It's actually personality based. It's a compliment mostly

SkynyrdRocker posted...

So please explain

You're a versatile sports fan in a way that bothers us sometimes. Brigitte is a versatile support healer character because she's also got a big shield and if you're not careful she smacks the crap out of you.

Well it's not technically gaming habits based but it's because I think of you as the pro gamer of our group. You're also if I'm not mistaken the closest thing to a weab we have, though I might be more of a weab than you which is fine because I gave myself a Japanese guy anyway.

Speaking of that, if anyone wants to dispute the brothers placement go ahead, I just picked them because they are brothers but there are a few slight similarities there as well I think at least in terms of how my brother and I interact as adults. Basically the brotherly power balance

I really like that Chewy's character is an engineer with a drinking habit.

The brothers thing was a given but maybe I also thought you two were more weab than you actually are. I know you've been to Japan. Until recently I wouldn't say I was at all, but I've started listening to Japanese music a lot and I just watched an anime for the first time in forever (Stein's;Gate) and I'm looking to watch another one soon.

I think Winston is a high compliment. He's probably the most intelligent and levelheaded character in the game.

I probably am more weab than you but it's probably fairly close. Well maybe not, maybe I'm a super weab and I just won't admit it. I just watched One Punch Man on Netflix, it ruled and it's super short

The only negative is that he could use more self confidence

This is very Roseanne of you to say btw smh

Maybe I will watch One Punch Man. I have heard good things.

I was gonna say it is a little awkward to call one of the few PoC in this topic a gorilla

Even though I said he was a Winston irl

It would be racist to say that PoC can't be the gorilla out of fear. If you're a Winston you're a Winston and race has nothing to do with it. That said I will be resigning from my post as attorney general of the state of Missouri. I'm so grateful to everyone who worked so hard to get us here and I'm extremely proud of everything we've accomplished. And I promise: this isn't the last you'll be hearing from me. It's like I said over and over in our historic campaign: ONWARD!

Please provide clarification. Thanks for making me a cool guy. Nice choice with genji/hanzo. You're brothers, and CaptainHammer likes Japan and is an augmented cyborg as a result of a fight with his brother years ago
