As always, we're going to lead off with the on-going contests at ~Stacker_Sports.
@BlokchainB requested some NHL coverage, so @grayruby is going to try to explain hockey to me.
We'll check in on the NFL post trade deadline and see if the landscape shifted appreciably. Also, we had a requested topic on why the top picks of the past two drafts are paling in comparison to the guys taken immediately after them. Tune is as we flounder for answers.
We had some disagreements on our hastily slapped together NBA power rankings, so we'll have to hash those out. Thankfully, @BlokchainB has already confirmed that mine were better.
Then I wanted to talk about Predyx in a little more detail, because they're on Stacker News and their project is very cool. I'm sure we'll cover our other gambling (mis)adventures.
What say you about any of those topics? Are there other topics you want our thoughts on?
The Stacker Sports Pod is for stackers by stackers.
NHL coverage would be great. Hockey is the national game here. (Not Ice Hockey) but I suppose the rules might be very simar.
Please include some space to 'Learn the game'. May be about a rule or a little on the format.

@BlokchainB I am moving the Knicks into my top 10 after their dismantling of the embarrassingly bad Bucks tonight so you can feel free to admit my list is far superior without having to defend your amazing Knicks team. I was wrong about them.

And move the damn pacers down
reply
And the Knicks lose to the pacers again! Some fool named Bennedict put a 38 piece on them!
Ugh 😤
reply
Don’t mess with those Canadians.

Knicks have ZERO bench.
reply
That was my biggest concern about the KAT trade.
reply
Mine as well besides McBride Knicks are getting nothing from the bench. Tibbs is going to grind the starters to sawdust by playoffs come
reply
McBride's been better than I expected. The flip side of the Tibbs point is that in the playoffs he only plays six guys anyway.
Sweet sweet vindication for us overrating the Pacers. We weren't wrong. Reality was wrong.
reply
I just need St. Brown to put up 43 tonight to make an epic comeback against Pub. If Chase can score 50 surely St Brown can score 43.
reply
It would have been easier if you hadn't left so many points on the bench.
reply
True but I was going for higher upside with Deebo and Flowers. Plus the 49ers special teams didn't help the D out today.
reply
I'm not sure why you drafted the best TE in the league, only to have him ride the bench.
Such shameless pandering. Have the courage of your convictions.

MAHOMES THREE PEAT
UBDEFEATED
MY POLL. @grayruby is a STUPID STUPID MAN
reply
When we have you on as a guest you can cover the topic of 3peat and my stupidity. Haha

THE PEOPLE VOTED
Do I get to come on as a guest?? 🤩

6 people!! A huge number!!

Not to get to crazy on yall but I watched a little F1 before Sunday’s football game and Max Verstappen is amazing! He’s so dominant he wins all the time.
How about a quick segment on some of the most dominant athletes on their sport who was a walking championship waiting to happen.
Jordan and Brady come first to mind I would like to think Shaq but maybe not.
What do yall think
reply
That's a great topic. I think someone (wink, wink) should make a post about that, so we can get more opinions.
I don't watch F1, but I do bet on it and it is crazy how dominant Verstappen is. I agree with you on prime Shaq. If we think in terms of contention, I'd also throw Lebron in there.
