Expanding the set of positive statistics only intensifies the argument that the player is good, it would be different if they added a statistic the proved to the detriment of the player.
I'm not particularly good at stats but I don't think this is always the case.
If a player had 100 triples but 399 doubles he wouldn't make this list, so there is an argument that expanding the categories in a certain way can leave off a better player. (I think, I could also be a moron). Making the list smaller in that way doesn't make the player still remaining "better."
Anyways, I'll go back to my lane now.

re: How can Mossad pull off what they did yesterday in Iran but somehow miss 10/7
Posted by Teddy Ruxpin on 6/13/25 at 3:16 pm
What's weird is what does this have to do with Israel's response yesterday?
If Israel repelled the attack, Iran would still be the actor behind Hamas terror, and Israel would still have every right to respond.
What a weird psychological hurdle that Israel has to jump over that it can't defend itself unless it lets people die.

They should have allowed the talks to continue but it's too late for that now
I think when people tell you who they are and have done everything in conformity with that for 50 years, what do you think this would have achieved?
Leaving out the fact Trump knew this was coming and reportedly the US assisted in targeting, which seems counter to the idea Trump didn't want this to happen. He didn't have to assist the attack.

I would say that Israel betrayed us by not allowing talks to continue but I don't know what discussions the administration was having with the Israelis
By responding to an Iran terror state that has targeted their civilians for decades? By telling us they were going to do it and the US assisting?

Wasnt one shot down by a ukrainian missile
Russian missile in Ukrainian territory using proxies after their first invasion in 2014. Planes had continued to fly over that territory during that conflict as their was no evidence anyone was using surface to air missiles at the time.
Another Boeing 737 flown by Ukrainian airline was shot down by Iranian air defense by accident in 2020 as they were scared shitless of us.

If this guy was on the plane there is no way he "jumped off" as it crashed like a moving train.
That doesn't seem to be the "official" version of his story anyway.
We'll see.

PIA is on a whole other level than even Air India. Which is saying something.
re: How Long Do External Bank Transfers Usually Take?

If I can help it, I "push" the transfer to instead of "pulling" it from the receiving bank. This seems to cut down the time.

Eh, I felt same way but it's a two hour flight with smaller kids. Beats driving to Port Aransas or flying all the way to St. Lucia with a connection. Works for a 3 day weekend trip.
Time and place for everything.

What's weird about all these threads about traveling because of who our president is seems to forget he was president before. Did everyone forget what it was like then? Uneventful for you and me drinking beers in Seville I promise.

Is it possible to simply downgrade to a Chase Sapphire and move the points into that bucket? Honestly, it should just happen with the downgrade
There used to be a regular Chase Sapphire that was lower than CSP.
But yes, downgrading from CSR to CSP will work fine. I thought the issue was avoiding annual fees or something, which is why I mentioned the other cards that could hold them.

The list isn’t “best” player as I understand it. Thinks it’s more who was exciting to watch and Bush was basically can’t miss tv. But White was absolutely a monster too lol
Ya I get the impression there is subjective excitement criteria for this list. Not just who was really good.

Could also move the points to any of their no fee "cash back" cards like Freedom Flex or Unlimited.
Then get a premium card later and those points become transferable again

I was an extremely early adopter of the Reserve, and if they go anywhere near that annual fee without offsetting it with an increase in travel credit, I'm out. Speaking of offsets, I'm getting really tired of the touting of very small ($5-10/mo) benefits to varying subscription services that don't rollover as a justification for increased annual fees
I'm aghast you kept it this whole time! I'm a year out from getting my 4th CSP/CSR depending on who has the better offer.
To be fair, I've had a $95 old ink bold that is called whatever now that I've had for a decade so that's why I can churn the CSPs
