    I would be fine with solid white socks. Just something to balance this ketchup bottle mess.

    Well now look what you did.

    The buildup to the branding reveal lasted longer than the brand did. One? Probably one.

    Did we ever find out if the NBC Universal portion of the broadcast rights was a brokered agreement? As for the new amalgamation, calling it now: Eight teams, 10 games, run however it's cheapest to do so. Hope you like Birmingham.

    Between Fox and The Rock, we are about to definitely find out who has been the biggest sucker over these past couple of years. And I genuinely can't predict an answer!

    They are, which again, the whole team should be wearing them, because that's how uniforms are supposed to work.

    Except for the two jagoffs on the Patriots wearing red socks when the rest of the team is wearing white ones.

    I forget which game was on, but I was in the kitchen and I overheard my wife saying, "What is with these players' socks? Why are they all different? It's called a UNIFORM for a reason." So yes it's sloppy as hell and it's not just us weirdos noticing. Also, the 6XLT undershirt under the skin-tight jersey fad cannot die fast enough. There was a player on Buffalo Monday night who had his jersey rolled up halfway so everyone could see as much as possible of the bright red t-shirt covering his belly. Congratulations, pal, you made me notice you looking like crap as your team lost to the Jets with a non-quarterback. The Cowboys' pants are Luv Ya Blue now. If Jerry thinks that looks good or traditional or both then the syphilis is really starting to take root.

    Ah yes, Billings, one of the sixteen announced AFL markets, clear as day. As for the "Game of the Week* on a "major network," I hope CBS Sports Network demands the cash up front for the brokering agreement.

    "Braves in the AL West." Man, my brain really did have heat stroke on Thursday.

    Any of the suburbs who can afford it don't hate themselves that much.

    I hadn't thought about this until right now, but up until 1993, MLB had that nonsensical alignment that put the Braves in the AL West. So all summer long, the kids are at home watching the Cubs at 2:20 ET, and the Braves are on another trip through California starting at 10:05 ET.

    - The Stratton Story - Eight Men Out - Field of Dreams Any others? Glimpse of the field in My Best Friend's Wedding?

    It is downright bonkers how they went from being a team that overhauled its uniforms every 3-5 seasons to one that has basically worn the same ones (excepting a few notable downgrades to the road set) for 33 years as of next month.

    The bold new era in Chicago White Sox baseball began this morning, with Bob Nightengale reporting the team has re-re-hired Tony La Russa to be a special consultant who will meet with manager Pedro Grifol after today's game. As with all his reporting regarding the Sox, Nightengale doled out this information while standing next to Jerry Reinsdorf, who was drinking a glass of water the whole time.

    It is here that I feel obligated to point out "Only The Lonely" is a forgotten little film that perfectly captures a certain slice of South Side Irish, down to the baked-in bigotry, the absurdist Catholic guilt tripping, and the ability to Know A Guy in seemingly any situation that arises within the city limits.

    "Here's Brodie Brazil" was as far as I got and as far as I needed to in that video.

    They would have because there was a proposal to put more of an old-fashioned stadium into a smaller space to the north of Old Comiskey, with the view from behind home plate showcasing the Chicago skyline, and a proto-"ballpark village" around it with neighborhood businesses attempting to create something a bit like what Wrigleyville was becoming at the time. They absolutely could not do that, though, because Jerry Reinsdorf more or less plopped his failed proposal for a ballpark in Addison onto Bridgeport instead, and wanted his new park surrounded by nothing but parking lots to ensure that every dime that got spent in the immediate area was being spent inside the gates of that stadium.

    The funniest thing about Jerry casually planting this "gosh it'd be a shame to leave but" story in Crain's is not only that it drops in this back-alley abortion of a season, but comes in a stretch where the Sox have lost three of four and given up more than ten runs in each of the losses. Add that on to everything over the last few years, and the majority of the past seventeen. Then consider that you don't have to be that old to be old enough to remember the one-two punch of Jerry at the forefront of the strike, gleefully scrapping the best season of baseball the team had played in 35 years, combined with the White Flag trade not long after. Any Sox fan who experiences the team on any level above an abstract concept should be volunteering the services of a guy they know who can get Reinsdorf a pretty sweet deal on moving trucks.

    Watching the White Sox in Colorado tonight, because I hate myself. Anyway, the Rockies appear to be wearing their purple jerseys with the piped white pants they brought in as a secondary look for their City Connect uniform, rather than the standard home pinstripes. Is this a new combo for them?
  22. Sodboy13
    Looks like they got both the 2 and the 4 of the Champion font pretty much right. The 7, though, uses a straight diagonal instead of the signature curve.
  23. Sodboy13
    Reminded of one of the proposed rebrands of the Belot Snappers to "Supper Clubbers," when Wisconsin's supper club scene really doesn't start until about Madison northward.
  24. Sodboy13
    I always thought that was a lock of hair falling over the mask, not a chip in it.

    Defector's Dan McQuade, who previously lifted the hood on the Philadelphia 76ers' partnership with emerging metaverse outfit Color Star and found a Chinese building materials company, a bunch of pseudonyms, English-adjacent word salad, and graphics reminiscent of Atari's "Hard Drivin'," has picked up on the AFL announcement and yes, this league reboot is straight vaporware. "They're saying the AFL isn't an actual football league. There's no explanation. Just body after body busting out of wood and hitting pavement. I DIDN'T DO ING ! I DIDN'T RIG !" https://defector.com/arena-football-league-relaunch-comes-as-surprise-to-cities-that-will-allegedly-have-teams
