>My dog, you're not being objective or non-biased at all.
You clearly lack basic comprehension skills, because everything in my original statement was objective.
>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.
Name one thing here that is objectively wrong?
>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.
Name one thing here that is objectively wrong?
>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.
Name one thing here that is objectively wrong?
Obviously injuries are a part of sports, I never said they weren't I simply compared the types of injuries nadal had to djokovic and federer's and made a very obvious conclusion that any logical person would come to.

Yes. We got a guy in the car scene here that got seven years for it. Got more time for leaving the scene too. The laws arent the same everywhere, but i think a couple tickets is getting off light.

If you lost in OT before the change, you’d receive zero points. Teams essentially played defense and settled for the one point so they didn’t go home empty handed.

Yes but before 2015 if you lost in OT you received zero points. Now you receive 1 point for losing.

Felger spent the entire day talking about how the B”s will be able to sign who they need to sign and that they will be really good again next year. Maybe I heard it differently.

It’s vehicular manslaughter to be racing when the other car you are not in wrecks and kills someone?

Sure, other cities have had/do have it worse. Still. Bruins had a drought from 1972 to 2011. Patriots from 1960-2001. Celtics from 1986 to 2008. The Red Sox... you know. For most of those years those teams were pretty non-competitive, the only drama was whether the Patriots would go ohfer the season. In recent years, the success of Boston teams has been disproportionately the Patriots' absurd and irreproducible success, aside from that there are six wins from 1987 to present.

Lol. This comment thread is kinda like that one in /r/nfl where the guy basically said Patrick Mahomes is overrated if you misinterpret and/or outright change his stats for no discernable reason

My 20 year old daughter has been to 12 parades. One in uteri but it counts. She hasn’t been to one in over four years now. When will this nightmare end. /s

What radio show are you listening to? There is only one person on the radio who even talks hockey other than the weekend hockey shows and he said just the opposite.

Hopefully he has a couple RG left in him. Roger already gone and Rafa soon too, sad to see the legends of the game leave.

Too complicated for me. 3v3 for 10mins and a massive penalty for playing it safe (no points) should end most games.
Also none of this BS of playing for a point late in the season or teams not being able to catch up after their rival lost four straight but got 3 loser points.

>where before it was an average of 1.0 points.
This is also not accurate. The rules changes eliminated ties after overtime, prior to that teams could still lose in OT and earn a point, they could tie in OT and earn a point, or they could win in OT and earn 2 points.
A lot of OT games used to end in a tie, so teams are getting more points than they used to, and the bruins have surely earned a few more points due to the OT rule changes, even if they are not great at shootouts.

Tennis isn't just about skill. It's a whole culmination of effort ranging from the individual's effort, skill, psychology which is backed by a team who is advising, coaching and giving therapy. There's a good reason why tennis players spend a lot of time giving thanks to their team during the award ceromony.
Rafal gets full credit for pulling all of this together and most of all keeping his body in peak performance throughout the years.

There is a rumour that Messi might end up his career at newel's, the team where he first started playing football before moving to Barcelona. These guys most likely support Rosario central, the other team from messi's hometown

It's an amazing achievement. However, let's not pretend like I wouldn't have done the same if it wasn't for my lack of tennis playing ability.

Beacuse nobody cares about top 10, they care about top 1.
Who is the best player? Who was the highest ranked for the longest? This is what people debate.
Do we praise or care about a Nascar driver for finishing top 10 in bunch of races, do we praise or care about golfers for finishing top 10 in tournaments, do we praise an NBA team for finishing top 10 at the end of the season?
You're actually delusional if you think this accomplishment means anything significant.
