  1. I could see a Philadelphia fan wanting the hat. I could dig that. But why would anyone want these jerseys?
  2. You inspired me to go over and look. What a delusional group.
  3. Hurricanes fired radio play-by-play guy, Chuck Kaiton, today. Kaiton had been with the franchise for 39 years going back to Hartford. Carolina will join Dallas and Buffalo as the only NHL teams to simulcast their TV broadcasts on the radio. The real relevant information from the News & Observer article: FULL ARTICLE

  5. Yeah, his info blurb on the NHL's press release was laughable. Somehow, they failed to include his biggest legacy of three (could well run into four) separate lockouts, including the cancellation of a full season. But hey! He moved the Jets from Winnipeg! to Phoenix Glendale Arizona! where they've failed thrived! and begrudgingly graciously gave Winnipeg another Jets!
  6. Absolutely disgusting and bonkers. Like what in the hell. And after Hoffman said they were "150 percent" not involved, a bunch of current/former Sens wives/girlfriends vouched for how nuts this girl is.
  7. What? Really? Are people just tuning in every night waiting to finally see those tax returns?
  8. Oh my ing God, why??? Both the length of the story and the headline, ing what???
  9. For tomorrow's NHL trade deadline, ESPN will simulcast TSN's TradeCentre on ESPN 2 (2-4 p.m. EST, deadline at 3 p.m. EST) and WatchESPN/ESPN 3. (8 a.m. - 6 p.m. EST). Frankly, I'm absolutely shocked by this. ESPN doesn't have any NHL game rights (there is a roundabout connection with MLBAM and the NHL and WatchESPN/ESPN 3.) NBCSN, who actually does have the rights, doesn't do any trade deadline coverage. NHL Network simulcasts Sportsnet's Canadian coverage (they previously did it with TSN's coverage when TSN had the Canadian national NHL rights). It's quite the interesting move, but I'm not mad about it.
  10. "We won an Internet fan vote" This team has five Stanley Cups.
  11. Fox doesn't quite have those Disneybucks quite yet. Merger of that size will take a bit of time to sort out. That's still Murdollars. --- LAFC, MLS' newest franchise, has signed it's local TV contract with... YouTube. An interesting move, especially because, honestly, I'll probably watch more LAFC games this way than if they were picked up on some local channel. I'm on my computer so much as it is for work and whatever that as soon as I get a notification, I'll open up a tab and watch some soccer.
  12. Disney’s purchase today of 21st Century Fox’s entertainment assets include the purchase of the Fox Sports regional networks (which also includes YES, I believe). So for those serviced by a FSN get ready for ESPN West, ESPN Arizona, ESPN North, ESPN Southwest, etc. This also means, for those markets, that the NHL will be on an ESPN property for the first time since 2004.
  13. Gary's already fought hand over fist for Glendale. Is he really going to do that too for Karmanos and Raleigh? While still having Glendale in the wings? And who knows however long Florida can hold out? Eventually, one of these things will just cease to exist. And you know they could extort Quebec for $800 million and they'd still pay it.
  14. Jesus... Carolina to Seattle, and Expansion to Quebec? Right? That's what we're going to do here?
  15. I figured it was that Philly was on SNF last week. Don't they try to avoid back-to-back?
  16. Penguins vs Flyers in a Pennsylvania football stadium.... We did this literally LAST SEASON. Don't even bother making new jerseys.
  17. I'm usually more up on my sports medias than anybody should be.... but... ...huh? EDIT: Are you talking about this Ryan/Becca Shultz married man/teenage girl baseball blogger thing? You take the strangest angles on things.
  18. I delete at least half of the Ringer podcasts that come into my feed without even a listen or a read through the description. There's also a bunch I'll listen to the start of, but delete part way through. Others I'll read the description, fast forward to what I'm interested in (although, Simmons' podcast is horrible in listing it's timecodes. Always way off.) I listen to a fair amount, but I delete a lot. Their problem, to me, is that they're so far into their own bubble at this point. Like, if you weren't listening to any of these from the start, I can completely see why someone wouldn't give *any* of it the time of day. It's a lot of inside jokes and inside threads and the only reason to know half the people on these podcasts is that they spun out from the rest of the Ringer.
  19. Yes. They did their first episode. Over the weekend, they had recorded interviews with Dan Patrick for this week's second show and their podcast, Pardon My Take.
  20. Really? You didn't think you could "distance" your efforts fron Barstool by hiring Barstool's biggest faces and calling it Barstool Van Talk? Color me shocked.
  21. Didn't they try sensors or chips in the pucks, but couldn't create a puck strong enough that it wouldn't split in half every time it was shot/hit something?
