    That NY oval logo would look so good on those helmets. You'd still know exactly who it was without such a busy logo.

    Most of Joe Buck's redemption arc comes from journalists' realization that he is a rich kid who went to private school and thinks everyone around him is an idiot. Most members of the sports media in the 2010s/20s are also rich kids who went to private school and think everyone around them is an idiot. In an alternate timeline, he's at Defector writing "Draymond Green Is A Big Dope Who Sucks Because He's A Big Dope Who Sucks."

    What's new in Arlington Heights? Well, the village is getting rid of Friday night concerts in the park in the modest little downtown around our train station because the concerts are too popular, and the crowd noise and foot traffic surrounding, like, the northwest suburbs' second-best Steely Dan cover band is too distracting to everyone. And this is the place that's going to host the National Football League. All right!

    49ers-Ravens: are you ready for some Discourse? Which no. I am not. I cannot handle that level of Discourse. We need the winner of Chiefs-Bills to win and prevent critical amounts of Discourse.

    Well, I think anyone would. Miami is like 85 degrees and humid all the time.

    None of this would be happening if Justin Fields didn't suck ass.

    I think NFL coaches should be able to wear whatever they want to wear. Polo shirt, suit, sweatshirt that has the name of your team but also its division for some reason, you know, the season is long.

    Reinsdorf is politically connected and not just some cloistered weirdo like George McCaskey, so more likely than the Bears moving to Arlington Heights.

    I thought the story was that Belichick wanted to dress like an adult but the league wouldn't let him so he went in the opposite direction and dressed as shabbily as possible to make a point, which then backfired on him by becoming his Personal Brand and making it unimaginable that he'd ever wear nice clothes.

    The Jets look terrible. What do you like? The dark green and black together? The oversized wordmark? The primary logo that writes out the whole name? Performance triangles? All they had to do was apply the new shade of green to the Namath template and they'd have been set for life.

    I enjoyed Peoria in the AHL. It was a good affiliate location for St. Louis, and having them in the league felt like getting away with something.

    "Volleyball" is an anagram of "Bally Love = L"

    This is the first non-stupid thing the Raiders have done in years.

    Time Warner struggled mightily with the internet all the way back to the days of Pathfinder. They were bloated, stuffy, and old, which is why they couldn't keep up with ESPN and rolled over for AOL.

    This is like the fourth or fifth team to try to make a go of it in Bloomington-Normal and for whatever reason it just never catches on. Among non-Chicago markets, you'd think it would; Blo-No as a college/insurance town being virtually recession-proof versus Rockford being success-proof. How I wish we could get a nice little IHL going with Milwaukee, Rosemont, Quad Cities, Rockford, Peoria, Bloomington, Hoffman Estates, and Grand Rapids all being economically viable together, but I can't see it.

    One of the most trusted sources on this message board said the Arizona Cardinals were about to change the game with "colors no one has ever heard of before" only for them to trot out the laziest crap we've ever seen. And I'm supposed to take a mothership commenter at face value? the sewer mutants who will SWAT each other in the comment section of the Winnipeg Jets anniversary logo that looked like a TV station? Okay.

    Between Conde Nast turning Pitchfork into an Exciting New Vertical of GQ and private equity killing off SI, just a really bleak week for publishing.

    It's not the south side the same way that Bridgeport is, no, but would still be at 1200S (one mile south of the baseline, Madison Street) rather than 3500S (3.5 miles south: the first few miles go 12, 22, 31, 39 blocks for Reasons). "The South Loop" seems to be very elastic, but to the extent that it exists, all the highrises around Roosevelt would have to be considered the South Loop. This could have been a huge game-changer for the Sox pre-pandemic when there were more people working in the Loop. A park at Roosevelt/Clark becomes a very attractive place for business outings and such. I hope it doesn't happen. It's a better fit for the Bears, in my opinion, and Comiskey is practically new anyway.

    We love our four viable American media companies, don't we, folks? We love them! We love them so much. We can't get enough of them! People are saying "how big can they get," I think they're going to get a lot bigger, believe me. And I think you're really going to like them even more.

    Oh my god you're the kind of person who would heat his home with a Rube Goldbergian treadmill-powered space heater and you won't let me resent trying to read an actual book on my goddamn phone?

    Year in Sacramento. Foolproof plan. Oracle Guy, where are you?
