Ight. A reverse retro Kensington jersey, then.

@razorback447 Riddell Axiom. A couple of NFL players wear them, too. They look real weird.

I can see it now. Yellow jersey, bold, blue script that reads Kensington.

The most embarrassed I ever felt for an adult when I was a kid was the time I met Dan Hampton while walking into a restaurant bathroom at Dukes in Honolulu. This 50 something year old dude, in an orange Bears jersey, just full on T Swift style groupie FREAKED OUT. “Do you know who this is?! It’s THE DANIMAL!!” While shaking my shoulders violently. Sir, I’m twelve, and this dude looks like my dad’s old Yellow Pages co worker. You’re keeping me from my Hula pie.

The NBA is ultimately going to lose the Christmas space to the NFL, so I’m not sure if they should throw out all of the stops, or just forget about it altogether.

The Saints already play in the most drab and dark division in football. They should just lean into it. The bright champagne color always looked out of place and has way less character than the darker brassy gold, anyway.

Well yeah, but RC is worldwide company, so that would make sense.

Lol, it’s the largest cruise ship company in the world. Not exactly some niche company. Also, based out of Miami. Anyone from the area is going to recognize the crown and anchor.

Yeah people were kind of ignoring the Ravens before the season, but I had a feeling they were going to be one of the best teams in the league. They were really well put together, and only got stronger during the off season (they also almost beat Cincinnati in the playoffs without Lamar). Baltimore is a supremely well run organization and it’s always made me a little envious. I can’t even imagine how it must make old school Browns fans feel. In a perfect/the funniest world, Flacco would beat the Ravens in the AFC title game this season, and then for the late game we could watch Baker try to do the same to the Lions.

NFC just isn’t that good. Baker is gonna get rocked in the Super Bowl.

No, this is a terrible idea that would ruin the sanctity of not just the league, but the sport itself. I spit on this idea. - Fan of a team that’s the most successful team in what’s usually the worst division in football

I definitely don’t agree with the second part of all that, but I do appreciate that you have some self awareness about it

I think you’re probably right, but they have basketball’s version of Derek Jeter and they’re never going to give that up. Everyone else, though? Boy bye.

I love Draymond. Dude was the glue for four championship squads. Even I think this is getting tiresome. The league should suspend him for half of the season at this point

Happier, yes. Now if they go get Yamamoto, all sins will be forgiven!

They’re owned by the Guggenheim (Old European money) Group, so, probably whenever the next assassination of an Archduke happens. They have like $500 billion in total assets.

I think that’s been the most frustrating part of getting older as a sports fan. All of these leagues have serious issues that they either don’t handle, or handle very poorly. We should be focusing more on this (and it stands out to me more and more all the time), but every time one of these leagues throws out something new and bright, we forget about all of that (I wouldn’t have spent two decades of my life posting here if I wasn’t one of them, either). It’s a conflicting feeling, and I have no idea how to fix any of this. Go Giants? I guess?

No, that particular part of it unfortunately I can’t be mad at the Dodgers about. They’re only doing what they can. Hard to fault them for that, as much as I’d like to. My lament is precisely with everyone else. And I do think it’s relevant in the grander scale of things because it’s following the same pattern. It’s taking some of the other, seedy aspects of our society and throws it into the same circle with something that’s supposed to be an escape from all of that. And in an era where people are whining about rainbow armbands (somewhat similar complaint, but much dumber and lacking any actual relevance), I think I have the room to complain about that. Because that’s the actual problem! Sigh. Go Giants. I guess.

With how expensive everything is in my area lately? It’s more tempting than it should be.

It’s like basically everything else in our society. It’s not technically illegal, but it absolutely contributes to a further splitting of the haves and have nots and makes the entire situation worse for everyone else. The Dodgers started spending stupidly about 12 years ago, and it seems like every year it just gets more and more egregious. Like, nice little loophole you have there to go along with an ocean of available cash, but it comes at a time when like half of the league is seemingly spending as little as possible and hoarding all of the profits for their own pockets. Baseball really seems keen to speed up the drain spiraling they’re doing by making the on field product as uncompelling as possible. I also say that as a fan of a team who does that (despite promising everyone else they won’t), while having the richest owner in the sport. God, it’s infuriating.

Nothing that’s happened in the Manfred era has been “good for the game”. Good for big business, but awful for the fans. Oh, also, Dodgers fans can :censored: off forever about the Astros. This is even worse.
