re: The Rays are just further proof that moneyball doesn’t really work
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 10/26/26 at 10:09 pm to theCAW
You don’t know what Moneyball is. Guess what… every team implements “Moneyball”.
Moneyball was simply finding undervalued and overlooked players by using analytics in order to build a talented roster without breaking the bank.
Every team uses analytics to find value now. Some do it better than others. The Rays organization is fantastic in how they’re still able to extract a lot out of a relatively low payroll at a time where everyone else is doing the same thing to varying degrees. It shows what a top notch organization the Rays are.

Teams with 2 losses have made the national championship during the BCS. With a 12 team playoff, it seems obvious a team with 3 losses will get in.
I hate how they keep expanding. Imagine how average some teams will be who get into the 24 team playoff.

re: Former Chargers/LSU DT says NFL is rigged

The NFL’s own rules specifically prohibit any kind of match fixing or manipulation as does the NFL-NFLPA cba.
Therefore, they are presented as legitimate contests.

re: MJ in the 90’s basketball to baseball would it be that big of a deal in today’s world?
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 10/23/26 at 12:34 pm to Paul Allen
I’d just like to use this thread as an opportunity to say how people have the complete backwards perspective on MJ’s baseball career.
They look at it as a failure and rag on him hitting .200.
I think it’s actually incredible. He played AA professional baseball. AA is where all the stud prospects are cutting their teeth. It’s serious professional baseball. To go from not having played since he was a kid to hitting .200 against some serious ball players is incredibly impressive. Truly.
People don’t give it the credit it deserves.
Also, he was improving. After the season he played in the Arizona fall league, where top prospects play, and hit .252.

re: Where does Bill Russell rank among the All-Time greatest NBA players?
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 10/23/26 at 12:05 pm to BuckI
I think he’s one of the most overrated players ever. He won 11 rings, but he played at a time when there were only 8 teams in the entire league and the entire Celtics starting 5 and the 6th man were perennial all-stars and hall-of-famers. Half the teams were in the playoffs and you win 1 series and you’re in the Finals.
His defense and rebounding may have been elite, but his offense was horrific. He averaged 14 pts a game on a putrid percentage.
The only reason he is considered one of the best ever is because of the overrated rings argument and the fact that he played in an era where his unique ability as an athletic rebounding shot blocker could stand out.
He played a ton of minutes… often averaging over 40 per game. If you put his scoring on a per 36 minute basis, he averaged 12.8 pts per game. His TS% was a god-awful 47%. For a big man. 47% for a big man is absolutely atrocious. For reference, of all Centers last season who played at least half the season and at least 20 minutes per game, the Center who is dead last in the league in TS% shot 54%. Bill Russell shot 47%. A gigantic, distant dead last.
If you include forwards today under that same criteria, he still ranks dead last. Dead last in the NBA last year was Herbert Jones, who averaged 49%. Still two points ahead of “all-time great” Bill Russell. In fact, I just ran it and included every single player in the NBA. The very last player in the NBA in TS% is Nolan Traore, who shot 47.9. Bill Russell shot 47.1. Still comfortably dead last.
That’s fine for a defensive specialist, shot-blocking, rim protecting, rebounding machine. That is absolutely a winning player you’d want on your team regardless of offensive limitations. However, we’re talking about all-time greats here. In order to be considered an all-time great, you have to be elite on both sides of the ball. Or at least respectable on the other side.

re: Baton Rouge logs more homicides than New Orleans for 2026
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 10/23/26 at 5:19 am to Breauxsif
This is really less about Baton Rouge and more about how incredible it is that New Orleans only has 62 murders so far.
New Orleans would routinely have 200 to 300 murders a year. In the 90s it sometimes had over 400 murders.
The turnaround is amazing honestly.

I don’t think this is true at all. Rigging things like he suggests are federal crimes. Not to mention the massive lawsuits that could come of it.
The league makes so much and there is so much to lose for very little benefit they could gain from rigging games.
It makes no logical sense that the league is rigged.
The only thing that could make sense is specific rogue actors like the crooked NBA ref who had money on games.

re: So..... The transfer portal and NIL have actually created parity in the sport?
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 10/18/26 at 10:11 am to Suntiger
quote:I know that. I don’t mean the same teams dominating year after year. I mean all the “good” teams in any given year are all equally average.
Teams go through cycles. Florida State & Tennessee were the top teams in the late 90s, then it was Oklahoma, Miami, Ohio State, LSU and USC. After that it was Florida the alabama, Then Clemson was the big team, then UGA, and now the Big10 Michigan, Ohio State and Indiana.
There’s a difference between parity and mediocrity. alabama is the exception of a team being good for so long. Everyone else has ups and downs.
I liked when there were clear tiers. There were usually 1 to 3 teams every year that looked clearly better than the rest and had a case to be a national champion.

I hate parity. It just means everyone is equally mediocre. I want to see excellent teams and true underdogs trying to take them out. And true battles of goliaths.
Is boring when everyone can beat everyone any given day because they’re all equally average.
I used to like when upsets meant something. Now, with the portal, it just means highly-ranked former SEC 2nd string players who transferred somewhere else “upset” current starters.

re: I miss the BCS for this simple season
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 10/17/26 at 4:08 pm to PeteRose
Yep. Each game was so much more tense knowing 1 loss could end national championship hopes. Then you watched other games rooting for David against Goliath to hope your team would be able to be back in the mix.
Now, even with 2 losses, you’re like meh, we still have a shot. It’s not nearly as fun.

re: Defensive Player of the Year Angel Reese having a pretty solid playoffs so far
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 10/6/26 at 5:50 am to sgallo3
I’m not defending Clark because I think she’s completely overrated and inefficient, but Angel Reese is a big. She’s supposed to have a very high FG% because bigs shoot mostly layups. She should be closer to 60%, not 40%.

On one hand this seems shitty, but on the other hand this is exactly how humans have always attempted to set prices. They try to set the price where it will maximize revenue.
The only difference is now there is a machine that can figure out the sweet spot for pricing way better than humans can.

re: Sounds like 24 team playoff is a done deal
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 10/1/26 at 5:58 am to Allthatfades
I knew this shite would happen, which is why I was so against starting a playoff system from the beginning. I liked the BCS. I was okay with the 4 team playoff, but I knew it was a slippery slope.
Now it’s just absurd. Basically every team in the top 25 will make the playoffs. I hate this stupid shite.
