  1. I think this is completely unfair to Under Armour, who we all know are fully capable of designing garbage templated football uniforms all on their own, without any outside assistance.
  2. So the XFL teams stay not-good and the USFL teams get uglier.
  3. This whole rollout is almost universally a mess, and giving every team the same template in different colors for the secondary (three teams in different shades of pink, no less) is perhaps an unintentional callback to season one of the NWSL, when everyone got stuck with Nike Teamwear off the rack. Nike Soccer is in The Bad Place right now and something needs to be given a hard reset in that operation.
  4. The Supernovas are now selling sleeveless replica jerseys that, in a move I can't recall seeing anywhere else, come packaged with the official matching team arm sleeves. It's a cool and weird idea, but also feels like the starter pack for an aspiring volleyball Full Kit Wanker.
  5. I can tell you from having read The $1 League and various things about the World Football League through the years that no one knew how to overpromise and outright lie about his ability to get sports owners TV revenue quite like Eddie Einhorn.
  6. Jerry Reinsdorf is using a shell company headed by two guys in the White Sox front office to overpay for empty lots around United Center. The big payouts are going to a family with long connections to the Daleys and a former associate of Tony Rezko, who had to do some solid Chicago Way prison time for his business practices. So yes, Jerry has the money to spare for whatever his grand vision is, and he's still playing things like it's the 1990s. Also, we get treated to an attorney named "Rodney Slutzky." https://chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdogs/2024/02/22/jerry-reinsdorf-united-center-parking-lots-purchasing-white-sox-south-loop-ballpark?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=022324 Morning Edition&utm_content=022324 Morning Edition+CID_13071de3eb983469654777515a3ee070&utm_source=cst_campaign_monitor&utm_term=Why is Jerry Reinsdorf spending millions buying up parking lots around the United Center&tpcc=022324 Morning Edition
  7. And that, dear readers, is why baseball remains America's pastime.
  8. Johnson tepidly expressing support yesterday gives me hope, in that anything he puts his weight behind seems to burst into flames in short order. I know all the local politics geniuses think the CTU has him in their pocket, but I am convinced he'll end up causing a longer teachers' strike than Rahm or Lori did, possibly by accident.
  9. Hasn't even stepped into the batter's box yet and already has two balls.
  10. I think the valid concern is that the only people dumb enough to still bite on this are also the ones with the authority to hand over my money for it.
  11. Jerry Reinsdorf would apparently now like to talk about that, as he sat for an hour with Greg Hinz, who currently has one foot out the door from Crain's Chicago Business. Some of the comedic highlights: * It is much more important for him to build a winning team in Chicago than to make money. * He expects the entire cost of the stadium - $2 billion - to be paid for with the hotel tax, bonds and the TIF district scheme. In other words, not a penny out of his pocket. * If the deal doesn't get approved really soon and he dies, his family will sell Jerry's stake to the other White Sox owners. And while Jerry, dear sweet Jerry, would never move this franchise out of Chicago, well, there no telling what all those other owners would do, but he has an inkling! * What happens to Comiskey, that stadium the state still owes money on 33 years later, when the Sox move? I dunno, rip off the upper deck and make the Fire move there or something. Not his ballpark, not his problem. https://archive.is/20240221225356/https://www.chicagobusiness.com/sports/chicago-white-sox-need-new-stadium-compete-stay-city-jerry-reinsdorf
  12. The author posted a gift link, so hopefully it works. It's not a reactive of-the-moment blurb, either; she did her homework and notes a lot of the changes we've seen and chronicled on this site through the decades. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/02/mlb-jerseys-nike-fanatics-quality/677512/?gift=mZJJfvLLK2-N-97mYsXvt4twDIXd7nmg5h3ZxsW1ZBI&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share
