re: NBA title equity

here's the list of teams who shipped the RANGZ finishing outside the top-4 in the league, in the regular season

2006 - Miami Heat (5th)
2004 - Detroit Pistons (6th)
1995 - Houston Rockets (10th, tied)
1978 - Washington Bullets (8th, tied)
1969 - Boston Celtics (5th, tied)

and that's it.

so yeah, you have a slight chance as the 5th-6th best team in the league, almost zero chance outside of that. but mostly if you aren't one of the best 4 teams in the league you should really just not bother getting your hopes up, and be pleasantly surprised if something miraculous happens.

edit: so this year it looks like it'll be Miami, OKC, or the Spurs, clear top-3 there. Knicks, Pacers, Nuggets, Clippers, Grizzlies probably not much of a shot really.

Those two Cleveland videos are a rare case where I like the sequel a lot better.

"see our river that catches on fire"

"it's so polluted that all our fish have AIDS"

"this guy has at least two DUIs"

"don't slow down in East Cleveland or you'll die"

"our economy's based on Labron James" (lol)

"our main export is crippling depression"

So great.

Bills fans at least have one run where there was excitement around the team, and Lions fans have other sports that have been good, so the Browns being the main team in the area and painfully bad make them the worst team to root for.
Cardinals though. The Cardinals are pretty amazing in their futility. They won the NFL Championship in 1947 as the Chicago Cardinals. They didn't win another playoff game until 1998 when they were the Arizona Cardinals. They were in St. Louis from 1960-1987 without winning a single playoff game. They also did not host a playoff game in this stretch. So they won 1 playoff game in a 60 year stretch until Warner, did not have a home playoff game between 1947 and 2008, and currently have 5 playoff wins in a 65 year stretch.

The Lions though are not to be outdone. Won the championship in 1957, since then have only 1 playoff win, in 1991. So yeah, they suck too.

The Browns at least used to be pretty GOATish, unfortunately Riverman was born about 50 years too late

Cardinals at least had a location change in there.

So St. Louis fans got to experience the joy of GOAT show on Turf and Phoenix fans got to a Super Bowl in the last decade.

Lions and Browns have just been white-hot steaming dump piles of AIDS for decades now ever since Drunk Bernie Kosar was calling the shots in Cleveland.

Lions had Barry Sanders and now Megatron though. Both generational players.

Yeah the location changes does make it a little different in that there's not one group of fans that are long suffering. Still, I maintain the Cardinals don't always get the proper recognition for just how bad they were for 60 years before Warner.

Browns' best player of the last 20 years is their kicker. Top that.

Yes but you'll always have those memories from your childhood of the Browns getting soulcrushed 3 times by Elway in the championship game before the Broncos got their asses kicked in the Super Bowl

Richardson is pretty good, imo. Also, Joe Thomas? Haden?

My understanding is the current scientific consensus (as much as one exists) has switched to "nay", mainly framed as a long term cardiovascular health vs. digestive irritation cost-benefit comparison. Pretty sure my main source for that was a Slate expose from early this year slamming Dr. Oz for bad suplement advice on his show--when I saw 'Fish Oil' on the list I assumed he was telling people to avoid it...but nah. If you are after brain health benefits like my wife recovering from brain surgery/stroke, then I'm pretty sure a near unanimous consensus would be to take it and risk a year of stomach upset. All of our doctors thought it was a great idea in her case to take a high quality one, in fact her primary decided to move up her schedule for coming off coumadin so she could start taking it. So there's sort of a situational element to it, I guess.

I don't see any of that as conflicting with what Chim wrote earlier, btw. That's one of the reasons I'd wanted to start eating more beef.

Sorry I'm on my phone and don't have the slate article link. I haven't really looked that much further into fish oils since it was the one thing that seemed like a slam dunk for us.

Chim; Is it just the flax oils that are useless, or the ground seeds as well? Any considerations on the context of ingesting the flax oil, like mixed in a smoothie vs. straight spoonful vs. a pill? Thanks.
