Gladstone Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Can anyone tell me if there's a quick place on the internet where you could say type in a couple of words and it would find relevant related websites to those words?It it doesn't already exist, someone should definitely invent it. I bet there's money to be made in that sort of thing. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 To be fair, local clubs and such often have a terrible web presence. Either not updated or not there at all. Im calling fair question on that one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 If an employer shakes your hand after an interview and says "see you soon"... What does that mean? Will they see me soon or is it said out of habit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I wouldn't read too much into that. It's probably just his / her standard goodbye to everybody. Like "see you later" usually doesn't mean that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hopefully his can be answered quickly, but as someone who doesn't watch US Sports I don't really get this. Can someone explain to me how the draft system works in NBA and NFL and MLB? Who decided who goes where? Who decides which players get drafted? Is it only young players who get drafted?

Woodsinho Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I think there are some differences between the 3 sports but as far as the NFL is concerned the draft is for players who are coming out of the college football system so it's mostly young players. Players declare themselves available for the draft at the end of the college then the teams decide which players they want to take. The order that teams get to pick in the first round is determined by how well/badly they did the previous season - the team with the worst record in the league gets to pick first while the team that wins the superbowl picks last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah, it works pretty much the same in the NHL, though draft classes are made up of kids from around the world between a certain age. Worst teams pick highest so that they have first rights to signing them to pro-contracts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Teams can also trade draft picks (although it varies between sports). E.g. the worst performing team that has the number 1 draft pick (i.e. picking the best player first) can trade that pick as part of a deal with another player from another team. So you could buy an established player from another team if you desperately need a player in that position and use your draft pick as leverage. It's also tied to salary caps too. Hypothetically, let's say the Lakers want some new players as their team is getting old. They've got a few high earning players that means they can't easily recruit new ones already in the league who expect a high salary. They've played well and aren't a low ranked team therefore their chances of getting a good draft pick are low (Rookies don't get paid much so they don't affect the salary cap as much). They may decide to sell Kobe Bryant to the Milwaukee Bucks (a shit team with a high pick), thus freeing up salary money they can pay other players already in the league as well as getting a good chance of getting a top player out of college. You see really complicated deals going down involving 3 or 4 teams (2 players leaving one team for cash and a draft pick, only if the 3rd team accepts to sell another player, etc) The main problem with the system is that it rewards failure. General Managers will purposefully bomb so they finish last and can rebuild with players from the fresh crop of players from college. It gets interesting when a particular college year is shit with few standout players - then teams aren't as fussed about the draft and play hard. This year's Bball draft class is one of the best for years. You've got this superstar Andrew Wiggins and the almost as impressive Jabari Parker, as well as a few other standouts who teams are salivating over. It's made for a pretty poor NBA season though - some teams (76ers, Bucks) aren't even trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'd never thought about that (teams doing shit on purpose to get draft picks). I don't even care much about basketball but the NBA pisses me off. Oh lets play 5000 games for each team just so we can eliminate almost half the teams before the play offs. Shite. If I had the money, I'd by the NBA and change it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 does anyone know of any good GPs/surgeries they could recommend? having a bad time atm with the ones i go to and need shit sorted! If you're having problems with your shit you probably need a proctologist more than a GP. There's some chat on this subject a few pages back - Slutbags asked the same thing. I used to use Whinhill Medical Practice just off Holburn Street and they were ace. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
