Help me choose a NHL/MLB team to root for

Seattle Sport News Reddit - Thu, 05/02/2024 - 15:34

Hello! I’ll be moving to the Harlem area this summer and want to get into both baseball and hockey at a professional level. I’m coming from Portland, Oregon (born and raised) and despise Seattle teams, so I’ve never had a chance to commit to fandom of a team for both MLB and NHL (die hard Blazer fan for NBA).

I love the fact that the Islanders and the Mets are seemingly the less loved NY teams, and in some way are underdogs in that sense.

But their home games are nowhere near as close as Yankee Stadium and MSG will be.

Will I look like an absolute dork for rooting for these teams? Or a real fan of the sport since I’m not riding with the two more popular teams?

I really hate the idea of rooting for the Yankees

Here’s some other things to take into consideration:

  1. I’m poor and don’t want to pay out the ass to go to games (especially MSG’s ticket prices)

  2. I’m very anti LA and Seattle teams so any rivalry or known contention between a NY team and a west coast team is a plus

  3. I love underdogs/teams that don’t have a long history of being good

  4. I plan on being a real time fan and always staying up to date with my teams

  5. I’m also pretty anti terrible owners

Thanks for any insight!

Benelli M4 Loading Port Mod in Seattle

Seattle Sport News Reddit - Thu, 05/02/2024 - 09:27

Hi Team, Recently did my first 3 gun with my M4.

  1. I know this isn’t the most optimal sports gun but I’m not in the market to get a whole second setup right now.

  2. Trying to quad or even dual load the M4 is so tough because the port and shell stop are so tight. Anyone know a reputable shotgun gunsmith that could open this port at a reasonable price in the Seattle area?

I put out a message to WCA but I’m not sure 3 gun mods are their specialty.

Thanks!

R1S legroom sucks for tall family, will R2 actually be better?

Seattle Sport News Reddit - Wed, 05/01/2024 - 21:51

I have never had an EV but I've always really wanted one and I've become a huge fan of what Rivian's been doing over the last year. I started consuming as much as I can about the R1 line but couldn't stomach the cost of an R1S so when the R2 was announced I put down a deposit since it looked right in line of what I want. However a couple weeks ago a Jaguar dealer nearby had an R1S so my wife told me we should go test drive it, and without a doubt I'm sold. This thing is so much fun to drive and it's legitimately the only time I've been really excited about a car. Everything about the car was super nice and the only weird thing I found while driving is that when I punched it on a pretty sharp curve getting onto the freeway it got a bit squirrelly when it was in conserve mode (I think) but when I tried again in sport it was amazing and hugged the curve like a pro. After driving it my wife told me I should buy one.

BUT there's one major flaw and I don't know if it's worth waiting for an R2 (if it will even be any better). I'm 6'8" and the world is not built for people my size. The drivers seat in the R1S is actually very spacious, I didn't even need to move everything back to the farthest position, however with me sitting comfortably there is zero room behind me in the second row. All the reviews I see say that there's plenty of space in the second row but it's always some 5'9" person sitting behind a seat adjusted for them. I have a teenage daughter who's 5'11" and a pre-teen boy who's 5'9" (and thinks he's going to be taller than I am). If I get this car I'm absolutely making it our road trip car whether it's to go camping a couple hours away or drive to family 12+ hours away, and I don't see how we could do this in an R1S unless the 2nd row seat behind me is folded flat and a kid sits in the 3rd row, but then that cuts storage space which is needed for road trips. For reference when my wife got a new car recently we spent a lot of time looking at legroom and she ended up getting a Palisade which has 42.4 inches of legroom in the 2nd row vs. the R1S' 36.6. I wish the R1S didn't have a 3rd row and instead had another 8 inches of travel for the 2nd row, but it doesn't so here we are.

Everyone is saying that the R2 has better legroom, and in fact the R2 roadshow is coming to Seattle this weekend, but unfortunately I missed the window to get a reservation to see it. Doesn't matter much since I'm sure they wouldn't have let me sit in to see what the legroom is like. Have they released any kind of expected measurements for the R2 or had anyone even remotely tall sit in one? I might just buy an R1S and tell my kids to figure make it work, but if the R2 works then I might wait (if I can hold out that long)
