Arlington Park, where the Bears want to build a stadium, isn't really in the middle of Arlington Heights proper; it's a little peninsula jutting into Rolling Meadows and Palatine. You're not gonna believe this, dude: the governments of Rolling Meadows and Palatine had concerns regarding construction.

There are now teenagers who undergo Tommy John surgery, so it's preemptive in the sense that it happens before they've ever been signed to a major-league contract. We're doing something wrong if we're making kids throw so hard and so often that they need to switch out a tendon by age 17.

Wow, Caitlin Clark really is the LeBron James of the women's game.

"The first uniform designed by AI" will be a gimmick for an upcoming design, though, bet on it. Probably more a minor-league promotion but someone's gonna use that line.

I'm going to echo what tons of people here have already said (and mocked up), which is that if the old-timey Browns are going to commit to a helmet as a logo, they should go so far back that no one could confuse the helmet with recent history: an old one-bar facemask, for instance. Lean into the concept of predating a logo rather than using the stock helmet art across the league and calling it a primary--especially when that stock helmet art is a relic of the recent, not distant, past. Personally, I think the =B= football was halfway to the right idea, it just should have been a =C= instead.

If jackets had proper identification on the back, that could be an option, like when pitchers were on base on cold days. They'd still look like baseball players, just warmer.

Fixing the primary helmet is all the more reason not to wear a different one. Keep the emphasis on the helmet that acts as their logo.

It's the Phoenix area's newest mixed-use development: L'ouestgate, Arizona's first destination for Quebec-themed shopping and entertainment! We take the chain-smoking and being racist that Arizonans already know and love, and pour gravy all over it.

His replacement? You guessed it: Mike Greenberg

I think it's great that they're celebrating NBA journeyman Tyronn Lue. I didn't even know he was from there.

"If they won't apologize, then I will!" "For what?" "For coming out here!"

I distinctly remember a post here that broke down all the poor craftsmanship in the Thunder logo, every little spot here and there where something wasn't drawn correctly. There was another for the Carolina Panthers. But I definitely remember someone drawing attention to how the R doesn't line up right or how the various elements in the guitar pick of doom are just a little bit off. It was probably in 2008; I'll never find it.

What does it confirm and what does it refute?

I never saw more concentrated homeless people than I saw in Denver. Go ride a perpetually grey dick.

Nice beard, DORK, you look like a guy who posts on reddit about how he's "a big bearded dude you wouldn't want to run into but not afraid to let my daughter paint my nails at her tea party" I hope the Browns don't move again, though.

Holding firm on "I'll believe it when I see it."

I've connected in Atlanta a few times, never departed. It feels like a sprawlier O'Hare such that you pretty much need to take the people mover anywhere. I had to jog a bit to make a plane home once. O'Hare, for being one of the busiest airports in the world, always seems to get me through check-in and security very quickly. Sometimes you hit a vein of absolute solitude and you're through in almost an instant.

Is this like how the Bears' extremely downtown stadium isn't compatible with modern economics and need a suburban stadium to be successful?

It's not the Maritimes that are the problem, it's Newfoundland (which pedants will tell you is Atlantic Canada but not Maritime Canada). St. John's is about as far from Halifax as Halifax is from New York City, and Hfx is already for all intents and purposes as far east as a continental sports league can go, what with being an hour ahead of Eastern Time. It doesn't work without travel subsidies, and even then it requires unusual scheduling to make it work. If anything, the Q is worse for St. John's than any minor league; the Fog Devils made it like two years whereas the St. John's Maple Leafs, albeit in an AHL much more concentrated on New England and the Maritimes, lasted a decade and change. They'll probably get another whack at the Q when one of the far northern teams gives up the ghost but that probably won't last long either. EDIT: To put the old IceCaps in perspective, St. John's is as close to Dublin as it is to Winnipeg.

I noticed the color change and thought it looked nice. I didn't realize it had anything to do with Hulu. Does this mean I can watch the sad-kitchen-work program now?

He wasn't going to take that sitting down.
