PrimeTime Money

When they say “rare books” where there’s only one copy, I’m assuming these are random books that nobody has ever read. Not some rare sought-after book where only one copy exists and is worth a bunch of money to a collector.

So in that case, who even cares?

The murder rate in New Orleans in 1994 was something like 90 per 100k. That made it the most dangerous city in the history of the U.S. and no city has surpassed it.

For reference, Jackson, MS and St. Louis were the murder capitols last year with a murder rate of 50 per 100k.

The national average is about 5 per 100k.

The homicide rate in New Orleans in 1994 was off-the-charts insane.

Maybe it was just Taco Bell itself and not necessarily the lettuce :lol:

Well yeah isn’t he a part owner of Liverpool?

Kind of. He used to be part owner of Liverpool, but not anymore. He’s part owner in FSG which owns several clubs, including Liverpool.

I agree with modeling from consistency but luck or lack their of definitely plays a part here.

Sure, but it’s not everything. Do you think the Pels would be in the same position if Sam Presti had been the Pels GM?

The stars on those teams actually being successful stars played a big part in their success.

The Pels had AD. They had a legit #1 pick superstar talent. I understand he wasn’t the healthiest player, but they did absolutely nothing as a team with his tenure.

Then they had a chance to rebuild and instead decided to keep trying to win and got stuck on the mediocrity treadmill. Now they have a chance to rebuild again and it looks like they’re just gonna try to keep this current era going.

It’s just an incompetently-run organization. Sam Presti would have had the Pels as a perennial playoff team. It’s poor decision making that keeps the Pels down.

It would probably be a lot like the NBA. Some big strong foreign white guys on the line. A few random white euro receivers. Maybe some black Brazilians, Africans, and black Euros at skill positions. Maybe some more Samoans in the league.

But overall, black Americans would still dominate the NFL. The NBA is like what… 80% American? It would probably like that in the NFL too.

The fact that the trade *may* work out in the end doesn’t make it any less stupid.

It’s an indicator of how he will run the team. And although this instance it may have worked out, it’s due more to sheer luck than competence, and doesn’t inspire confidence that he’ll make savvy moves going forward.

Using your logic, Nico Harrison was brilliant in trading away Luka because they ended up drafting Cooper Flagg.

I remember before this World Cup started how America haters were predicting this World Cup was gonna flop. :lol:

I don’t know how anyone invents things anymore. I’ve had a lot of ideas and came to find out every single one already exists.

Soccer is a communist sport.

Soccer is the most capitalist sport there is. Promotion and relegation means I can start a team with posters from TigerDroppings and if we’re good enough we can work our way all the way up to the Premier League.

There is no salary cap. Teams are free to buy and sell any player they like.

The sport really is wide open.

Compare that to American sports model where the league is closed and all owners work together, there is a salary cap put on teams, a cap on how much players can make, the worst teams are rewarded with higher draft pick odds and the best teams pick last, and successful teams have to share revenue with less successful teams.

I’m American through and through, but if I’m being honest, the American sports system is way more communist than the European model.
