I’ll grant you the Sox, they had the curse of the bambino.
Two decades is nothing compared with anyone else though. Look at Chicago or New York: the Bulls and Hawks dropped off after their dynasties were over. Rangers haven’t won anything in like a century aside from 1994, and Knicks haven’t won since the 70s. Yankees haven’t won since 2009 despite being the richest team in baseball.

I mean who cares if they didn’t, it’s a meaningless record while fed and djoker are still more accomplished and have peaked higher than nadal

Given how much crime NFL players commit with next to no punishment, racing shouldn’t affect his draft stock. 2 misdemeanors are nothing in the NFL.

friendlyjordies and lionel messi vs. the world.
Thanks for the insight by the way. Does seem too noteworthy to not add up. Curious how much investigative work will be* done though.

Maybe I should phrase it better? Starting in 2015, a third point is created when OT begins. You now get one point for overtime losses and shootout losses. So teams heading into OT now receive an average of 1.5 points where before it was an average of 1.0 points.
Put another way, only 9 of 32 NHL teams are currently under .500.

I hate the Bruins, but they have been playing inspired hockey all season. No real vulnerabilities. They are a machine this year.

They both their respective 2018 season. Pats beat the Rams in the super bowl in 2019 but still considered the 2018 season

not taking anything away from nadal but no two injuries are the same.
it’s clear rafa had smaller (in severity) but more (in quantity) nagging injures but fed and djokovic had fewer but more significant injuries where they had to miss much more time.
tennis ranking points drop off if you don’t play for a period of time, but nadal never missed enough in a consecutive manner to where it was ever enough to drop him out of the top 10.
with that being said, federer and djokovic both have more weeks at number 1 than nadal so it’s not irrational to assume they would have not accomplished the same thing if not better.

Lol what? Teams would get a point for a tie and then when they got rid of ties, teams got a point for an OT loss. It’s always been this way

If the past 10 years have proved anything in Hockey, regular season really doesn’t mean much and just because you played great for it doesn’t mean jack come post season.

They look like a “team”. Where as some clubs are throwing money at this and that.

The more you type the more clear it is you just don’t like nadal which discredits your opinion by exposing it as biased
