FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- JAN 2/2025

Stacker Sports- Special Announcement

Stacker Sports, the official, unofficially official sports territory of Stacker News is pleased to announce @Undisciplined will be joining the territory as a minority owner effective immediately.

@Undisciplined is a well regarded Stacker News veteran, who for the past 464 days has displayed an impressive commitment to holding onto a cowboy hat and has stewarded the Econ territory to great success for an astounding 6 whole days. He is kind of a big deal, just check his bio.

He is a trained economist by trade, which we will try not to hold against him. But perhaps his greatest accomplishment is being a life-long Raiders fan, and never once being committed to the Looney Bin (that we know of).

He is the driving force behind the Stackers Sports podcast and has been credited with its ascent from being a podcast "for people with no expectations" to the heights it has reached today as a podcast "for people with low expectations".

We are excited about the future and what @Undisciplined will bring to the team. We have no clue what he will actually be doing around here, which should be very similar to his day job for him.

@Undisciplined's stake in Stacker Sports would come with a seat on the board of directors but we sold all of our chairs for Bitcoin. Instead we humbly offer him a seat on the board of Old Men Yelling at Clouds!

Please join us in welcoming him to this questionably prestigious role.

Signed,

The Intern Stacker Sports Communications Dept.

Oh, I like that! Don't share with @grayruby the story of how Al came to own the Raiders outright. He might get concerned.

Thanks. Have you listened to us make fools of ourselves on our podcast yet?

Thanks and thanks for taking all our sats in the NFL pool. Tough job but somebody's gotta do it.

Great addition to the board and well deserved! All the best for both of you!

Thanks. Looking forward to the next round of UEFA. I might need some advice from you in terms of what european football matchups to use in the US vs the World tournament this year.

75 sats \ 1 reply \ @Carresan 2 Jan

Yes , no problems.

The UEFA group stage and play-offs will be played in January and February, then we will move onto the last 16 round, QF, SF and Final that will run from March to May and will give us the European winner. In this second phase there will be 7 weeks with matches.

Then, between mid June and mid July there will be a new competition and will be played in the US. It will include clubs around the world and it could be an interesting one to use it for the US vs World tournament.

Then, depending whether you need more or not, we could use some international competition that involves national teams such as the Women's Euro 2025 in July.

55 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby 2 Jan

Great. We will use the NFL playoffs as the jumping off point for US vs the World. That will cover the first month but starting after Super Bowl I will be focusing on other sports until NFL returns and then I hope to do a mix of NFL and other sports.

What's going on? Anyways. Congrats @Undisciplined. Work hard lest you should be fired from this position. This is prestigious but will require a lot from you.

51 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined fwd 2 Jan

I should be good, at least until @supercyclone inherits the territory, which @realBitcoinDog estimates will happen by 2040.

90 sats \ 1 reply \ @IamSINGLE 2 Jan

I see. What else we can expect from a shameless uptail woof woof? I doubt he knows the counting. I know you'll do good, no doubts about your experience will bring some freshness to the territory.

76 sats \ 0 replies \ @realBitcoinDog 3 Jan

No no @grayruby has until 2140

Did I miss anything during my Christmas holidays? Does SN allow shared ownership? Congratulations @Undisciplined, now you're not just a sheriff but a federal agent, since you operate in several territories! Aahahha

Cowboys don't ask for permission.

We struck our own deal outside of the law.

74 sats \ 5 replies \ @siggy47 2 Jan

I was going to ask this too. I know ownership can be transferred in whole, right? I think there was talk of splitting ownership at one point. I am looking forward to these new territory tools on the horizon.

175 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby 2 Jan

I am sure it will come. Like with the meta takeover, we are trying to skate where the puck is going here.

I have some broader thoughts on territories and territory ownership that I will probably talk more about later this year but that really had nothing to do with this arrangement.

Undisciplined and I will discuss it more on the pod but for me it had more to do with recognizing talent, contribution and potential benefit to the territory, myself and Undisciplined for the future and ensuring since he had become such a big part of what we were doing with the territory that he had some skin in the game if he wanted it.

For my part, I'm simply a terrible negotiator who meets offers like this with "Yes, please. No takebacks! How much do I owe you?"

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby 2 Jan

You negotiated a fine deal for yourself with me. With Jeff, not so much. That was a lot of contingencies for a guy that wanted to get out. Haha.

But I am confident it will work out well for you regardless.

It's just an unofficial spit-on-yer-hand and shake on it deal.

Those are the best kind

Maybe a US Marshall or Federale, to stay more on the western theme.

I prefer to be thought of as a media tycoon, though, or a robber baron.

60 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined fwd 2 Jan

Thank you, sir and/or madame.

I humbly request to simply be thought of as the Tom Brady of ~Stacker_Sports. @grayruby is unquestionably still running the show. I'll just be here handsomely backseat driving and second guessing all his decisions.

I am slightly annoyed that no one is commenting on the high quality announcement/roast I had our intern draw up.

I was laughing while drafting this and my daughter said "what's funny daddy?" so I replied "daddy just cracks himself up sometimes".

She rolled her eyes and said "ok, that's weird". Must have learned that from her mother.

What do you mean? Is there a coup?

There are forces at work that would disturb the general public.

You're already talking like a sheriff. Let me remind you that ~stacker_sports don't care for your filthy rules or laws. You can't apply them here. If you do, be ready for the sledging of a lifetime. Other than this, you're welcome.

Woohoo! Contrats, @Undisciplined! And congrats @grayruby for having someone to lighten the load and/or to blame.

61 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined fwd 2 Jan

@grayruby is still the majority owner, so the buck stops with him.

Please assume any positive developments were a result of my influence, though.
