  1. Looks like the pendulum is starting to swing back from Pete Rose 2.0 to con artist. Also, the whole ShOhEi ChAnGeD hIs StOrY narrative needs to die. Ippei was the sole source of information and the story only changed after Ohtani’s lawyers debunked the first version.
  2. Are we really in a world where the WAC is going to outlive the Pac 12?
  3. So, Ohtani apparently didn’t even realize that Ippei had a gambling problem until the clubhouse announcement in Seoul and Ohtani wouldn’t have had any idea what he was doing if he gambled on other sports anyway.
  4. Considering that Ohtani's team has contacted law enforcement and is calling for a full probe into the theft, unless they're setting themselves up for what may in fact be the most significant self own in the history of professional sports it would appear that the theft angle would be likely what transpired in the same vein as the take old as time of associate of millionaire athlete getting greedy. The shifting stories probably had a lot to do with them being overseas and not being in the most convenient situation to kick the guy to the curb when he still has tickets reserved on the team charter. Of course, the hot takes about Ohtani not talking to anyone are hilarious considering that he's probably taking legal advice on that front.
  5. Theoretically all Ryan Smith has to do is make a higher bid and pledge to build a community park there and off the 'Yotes go to SLC.
  6. I know that the Padres have a tenuous TV rights situation right now but you'd think they'd actually afford to supply their players with gloves that don't explode on *checks schedule* OPENING DAY.
  7. That Jaguar logo change still baffles me as being such an unnecessary downgrade. The new one is just an overly beveled wordmark away from being a typical early 2010s Phoenix Design Works low major D-I college look.
  8. I mean, the one time I was on the Phoenix light rail the guy next to me had an ankle monitor so you're not that far off.
  9. They signed up to freeze their asses off in the figurative sense. I don't think they signed up to freeze their asses off in the literal, "nurse, please pass me the scalpel" sense. But, if we're talking about all the dopes who thought that they only layer they needed was body paint, they fully deserve what's coming to them.
  10. In more Dodger news, they updated the batting helmet logo.
  11. I’m just amazed that the ballpark with the best view of the New York skyline will be 2,500 miles from New York.
  12. The Rockies black vests never worked when they dropped the purple sleeves. The obnoxious piping made them look like TATC uniforms.
  13. Nope. In fact, the main port until they dredged the now Port of LA and coverted Rattlesnake Island to Terminal Island was Redondo Beach.
  14. OKC's is abhorrent in that they still use a horrible abstract art piece that was a placeholder before they even had a name picked out. Even worse is that if that piece of trash was a child it'd be getting its drivers license right about now. When that thing made its debut the Warriors still used the lightning Power Ranger and the Sixers still had the Iverson-era logo. With Bennett fleecing the public yet again for a new arena they really have no excuse to not, you know, actually have a logo that has something to do with Thunder.
  15. What's this? The Clippers rebranding to acknowledge that they're named after a ship?
  16. That's not even a sports-specific thing. See: Burger King, Subway, Pizza Hut, Pepsi.
  17. And they get serious bonus points for the change to the really shiny finish.
  18. Sure, basically everyone... Except for a couple stragglers. *Clemson *Florida State *Miami *Syracuse *illinois *Indiana *Iowa *Michigan *Nebraska *Ohio State *Penn State *Wisconsin *Kansas State *Oklahoma *Texas *Jacksonville State *Sam Houston State *Akron *Central Michigan *Eastern Michigan *Hawaii *San Diego State *Arizona *UCLA *USC *Washington *Alabama *Arkansas *Auburn *Florida *Georgia *LSU *Texas A&M *Georgia Southern *James Madison *Southern Miss *Louisiana Monroe *Notre Dame Yep. Pretty much everybody.
  19. Live look into the Fanatics factory as they prepare the fabric:
  20. There really wouldn't be a "large city." If you want to talk city capable of hosting a team... probably Fresno or San Jose.
  21. So... the Redwoods are slated to play at Torero Stadium... on the campus of the University of San Diego... a 325 mile drive from where giant sequoias grow and a 375 mile drive from where coast redwoods grow...
  22. Nobody's going to agree here, but the criteria I have is that: *If your school has multiple alternate helmets, you're automatically DQed. *If your school has a completely plain helmet that doesn't have a good justification other than tradition, you're also DQed - Notre Dame earns an exemption for the gold dome and TOSU gets an exemption for helmet stickers. *Cursive script "logos" are also DQed. UCLA and Ole Miss get exemptions since that's their school's actual logo and not just a lazy forced helmet one. Beyond that? There's a whole lot of candidates that can claim the top spot at any given time.
