Reply to comment by flossdog in Mikaela Shiffrin gets her record 86th World Cup victory by Jokobib
>This would be analogous to how many matches a country has won in FIFA World Cup.
More like nr of games won in Premier league / La liga etc since it's a "series" over the whole season without playoffs like in the FIFA World Cup. With a big difference ofcourse. A game is only between two teems so your chances of winning is a lot higher than when competing against 100 other ski racers...

Stenmark is definitely the GOAT together with Shiffrin. He use to win by several seconds in his time in a sport that is now usually down to hundreds. Thats how dominant he was. They even changed the world cup rules because he won to much.

That's all relative. Stenmark use to win by several seconds in his time because of his superior technique. They even changed the world cup rules because of how superior he was.

I’m sure there’s some good old boy type Canadian hockey fans who want this.
So many feel like the All Time Goal record MUST belong to a Canadian, not a Russian.

Reply to comment by big_sugi in [Rapoport] Major draft shakeup. Sources say the Bears are trading the No. 1 overall pick to the Panthers in exchange for big-time compensation including multiple 1st rounders. Chicago loads up and lands at No. 9, while Carolina can draft its QB of the future. by BCLetsRide69
He was 11, 11 and 9 in yardage the three years prior, and as the cap climbs, already-signed deals get comparatively cheaper. The trade is a fiasco but acting like “getting rid of Moore” is a point in the Panthers’ favor is truly wild.

They’re paying him as a top-10 WR; he was barely in the top 30 last year. Yeah, his QB situation sucked, but that’s part of the reason you don’t pay a guy top-10 money when you have bigger holes on your roster.

Lots of countries are at war or in conflicts right now.

He costs what WRs cost. And how good is the rookie QB with no wr1 and no first round pick next year? Ouch.

You either have an elite franchise QB or you don't, every team must go for broke until they get their QB then build from there.

If there was a surefire-elite QB in this draft, I’d say it was reasonable. But for this class? It’s too much. And that’s after taking into account that the Panthers overpaid Moore, so dumping him helps to bring the deal back closer to par.

How is that digging? That’s his rank. It’s not good.
Other than a few flashes he hasn’t been relevant in a decade.
I’ll never understand the blind support for this guy.

Buy them if you you can then give them back to Greg to sell again. Keep doing that! Greg keeps his medals and the AIDS center gets cash flow.

Olympic medals are decided on one race per discipline, globes on like 8 races spread out over a season per discipline. And then there is the overall globe which is the person who gathered the most points overall. In skiing its very hard to be consistent at this level so the globes mean a lot.

You can also get an elite franchise QB killed on a team with otherwise no talent.
