    Nikola Jokić is already the best basketball player in history

    Jokic isn't a center.

    Social Did Kristi Noem ruin her political future?

    I can't imagine this mattering anyone who might vote R. Besides which, didn't she facilitate the cover up when her AG committed vehicular homocide, and also support the blocking of a law being passed in her state to legalize cannibis?

    Is The Beatles the most influential band?

    The Beatles(and virtually every other rock group from the 60's) were influenced by Elvis. But also, and heavily, by other LR, CB, BH, etc. The Beatles name was an homage to Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Some of McCartney's early tracks and mannerisms were pretty obviously inspired by Little Richard.

    Is The Beatles the most influential band?

    I think it's an interesting debate. The Beatles, Clapton, Stones, etc were all influenced heavily by artists like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, etc. Those guys were inspired by really old school artists like Robert Johnson. Meanwhile, Hendrix influenced every guitarist that came after him...

    Social Is laughter the best medicine?

    I don't know about being "the best medicine", but certainly laughter is good for health. I would argue exercise, sleep, and having meaningful conversations are also among the best (natural) medicines.

    How good was Fedor really? Was he truly elite?

    And....he just coincidentally started losing at Sambo around the same time he started losing in mma. But the haters will just never admit he physically wasn't the same when he lost to Werdum, and actually well before that.

    Prime Fedor simply had a level of athleticism that is still unmatched in HW MMA

    Who do you have above Fedor on the HW GOAT list, then?

    Prime Fedor simply had a level of athleticism that is still unmatched in HW MMA

    Because, at the time, he was an undefeated prospect, coming off a top 10 win via rd 1ko, who had size, power, and fought with reckless abandon. Easy to look back and minimize, and make it appear as if Rogers was known to be mediocre. Not that I consider Rogers a particularly impressive name on...

    College Hoops 2023-2024 Thread (UCONN Back 2 Back)

    Ridiculous call. Indefensible with the game on the line.

    Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira or Daniel Cormier - Who do you rank higher in the GOAT rankings?

    Nog has the stronger resume(particularly at HW). Peak for peak, it could go either way.

    Television Last Two Seasons of Fargo

    Every season of Fargo is good. The first three were just particularly good. And season 4 might as well be a different show altogether. It was set in neither the time, nor place, of every other season.

    Idk...America was one of the great LHW's of the night, and we can tell it what we saw in the ring.

    Top Ten UFC Fights of All Time

    Because context matters, too. Silva was at peak aura of invincibility, but his one :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: in the armor was thought to be TDD. And Chael had ran through top fighters with his wrestling. Factor in that Chael hyped the fight to the moon with trash talk and antics. Also factor in that Chael dropped...

    100, 200, 300; which monumental UFC card was the most stacked from top to bottom?

    100, by a country mile. By 200, they were already leaning on legends fights, to sell it. In UFC 100, the stars were all in top form.

    90's, easily. More depth and breadth.

    Out of the 4 GOATS, is Fedor the only one who deliberately engaged his opponents at their strengths?

    Not cans... Nog Cro Cop Arlovski Randleman Sylvia Hunt Arona Herring Schilt Babalu Coleman Lindland Guys like Ogawa and Rogers were undefeated prospects. Guys like Goodridge and Fujita were tough journeyman. There were a few freak show fights, which was just the the culture at the time. And...
