Finally the Yankees did it. They should have done this in 2009. 

The Mariners have taken their '90s design about as far as it'll go. Time for neon green and some modern flair.

I seriously doubt the people of OKC showed up to support the Hornets to carry out some organized regional strategy to prove they were a major-league market.

No, but the investors who subsidized the Hornets' layover, Aubrey McClendon and Clay Bennett, did.

and they had the tough distraction of their tight end dating the most famous singer in the world (did we mention that to you, btw? Well just in case you missed it, here’s another 30 minute wankjob video about it). 

I don't think the Chiefs are much like the Patriots, but Taylor Swift is. She's distasteful the same way the Patriots were distasteful: pretending to be an underdog while running up the score. 

And then there was the time the Jets had a logo made of a football and a landing plane coming together to make an angry face:

It reminds me of the talking post-it note from Homestar Runner that said "hey! dorks! you stink."

EDIT: 

I don't like the phantom yoke either but the colors are spectacular. There's never a reason for the Calgary Hitmen not to wear pink and black. It's theirs and theirs alone (well, and Bret's, but).

The league really needs to mandate that names and numbers contrast with the base color. Form has to follow function here. That Marlins jersey is a failure and the Mets one isn't much better.

I don't want to hear about how the 49ers are white supremacists so give me any of the other three but preferably Chiefs-Lions.

Baltimore has to beat the "New England" Chiefs. DO IT FOR AMERICA!!!!!!

OHHHH UHHHH AHHH OOHHH AHHHH I DUNNO JIM

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

Joe Buck has completed his redemption arc in my eyes, after decades of being the dryest commentator imaginable, he's turned it around and found a way to be exciting. Crazy what a little enthusiasm for the game does for the viewing experience.

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!

Detroit is about to make the Super Bowl, aren't they.

I don't know how they're gonna get by the Eagles, but the Lions, who are eschewing wunderkind-coach conventions by just having a big loud dumb guy tell everyone to try hard, have all the makings of a team that gets to the Super Bowl and loses. It's like the football version of the Doin' It All With A Hot Goalie.

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.

One of the reporters* asked the police chief if, since he was shorter, they were ever afraid that he'd partner up with another short man and walk around in a trench coat "lil rascals style".  The Lt. simply said "no".

 

*turns out it was some guy who's dog got loose and he followed the dog into what turned out to be the press conference, so he stayed and posed as a reporter.

Well Belichick clearly didn't fight as hard as Mike Nolan.

 

Show us your lining!

It's also weird that anyone thinks Belichick would care how the team looks when he himself shows up to every game looking like a slob in his tattered sweatshirts.

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.
