        Seriously...why can't NBA or NHL just have the lottery drawings in public? They've already shown people every single bit of detail about the lottery process, all they haven't shown people is the actual drawing of the lottery. NBA today for example,they did a mock run of the lottery, but said the real balls were locked up in a box. But the point being that they flat out showed people everything about the lottery process.

        It'd be alot easier if they just did the actual drawing on TV instead of just opening envelopes and taking 30 mins to do what it takes 1-2 mins to do.

          Or better yet, make it straight forward and base the draft order on records from the previous season like the NFL and MLB.
          Steelers : IX, X, XIII, XIV, XL, XLIII
          Penguins : 1990/91, 1991/92, 2008/09, 20015/16, 2016/17
          Pirates : 1909, 1925, 1960, 1971, 1979
          Panthers (FB): 1915, 1916, 1918, 1929, 1931, 1934, 1936, 1937, 1976
          Panthers (MBB): 1927/28, 1929/30

              I can't believe people still want to throw this rigging nonsense out there after what happened last night. Has there been times where it's too much of a coincidence that a certain team won? Sure. I'm not going to act blind. But last night with a draft lottery where either the Boston Celtics or Los Angeles Lakers could have easily had the draft rigged for them to win, yet Cleveland (Cleveland!!) wins and people still want to claim this. Come on already.

                Cleveland will win the Championship next year and still get the number one pick.

                  I guess the narrative is Cleveland got the #1 pick in order to draw LeBron back?
                  NHL - Philadelphia Flyers
                  NFL - Buffalo Bills
                  MLB - Cincinnati Reds

                      Why would the NBA want their star player leaving Miami for the Cleveland market?

                        You know what grinds my gears? When restaurants overfill pepper shakers so much you can barely get any to come out.

                            When a whole group of people on bicycles ride in the middle of the lane on a two lane street, you're coming right at them, and they still don't move and get out of the way.

                            Another reason why I hate people who ride bicycles.

                              Not bike related,but speaking of 2 lane streets....when people drive down a street thinking it's a 2 lane street but really it's a 1 lane street and they're going the wrong way down it. So many times I just want to see another car drive the proper way and see what the other person does.

                              I understand some streets might be confusing if it's a 1 or 2 lane street because sometimes it might look like it is(or isn't) and there's not really any signs, but I'm talking side streets where it flat out states at the beginning and end of the street which way to go.

                                Ex-girlfriends who are currently in a relationship yet can't decide if they want to contact you. This one girl will text me out of the blue after not speaking for months, catch up on everything that's been going on in my life, chat about random ****, then the next day it's "I'm sorry I bothered you, we shouldn't be talking, it's not right. I was just curious how you were doing." **** that ****.
                                This has happened at least 3 times since we broke up. I wish I had the guts to tell her to just **** off but I can't. Somehow I still have feelings for this girl somewhere deep inside and I guess I don't want to burn any bridges, but this has gotten out of hand. YOU TEXT ME! Not the other way around.
