    Canada has quite a few "football" schools that have popped up. Unlike their real cousins, they only play US teams and use American rules. West Toronto Prep is one such team. 

     

    Canada Prep, Football North, Clarkson North Prep, etc. 

     

    They're IMG wannabes hoping that their kids can get the eye off an American college recruiter. 

    I had not heard of these football programs until the West Toronto Prep debacle. The best part is that their address points to a ski chalet at a park. 

     To my very limited knowledge of high school football in Toronto these days, Football North seems to be the only one that looks even near legit to me because they are partnered with a public high school.

    If they are on their way out of Oakland, when and how would they do it? Will they do what the Raiders did and play a couple lame duck seasons at the Coliseum while a ballpark in Las Vegas is constructed? Will they try to split games between Oakland and Las Vegas (similar to what Montreal did in Puerto Rico) until a new ballpark is built? Will they abandon the Coliseum and try to rent from the Giants until a ballpark is built in Vegas? Will they rent from the Giants and split games in San Francisco and Las Vegas? Will they move to Las Vegas and play at their minor league park until a new ballpark is built? Several options but what is the best?

    Move temporarily to Mullett arena

    The Astros lost their last World Series when they got put up against a team of destiny from the AL East, as well...🤞

    You the NL east... and it's also the last two WS they lost to NL East teams... 

    (Maybe the Marlins are next)

    I'm a couple years younger than the baseball Rockies so I don't know what, if any, issue there was with the baseball team taking the hockey team name back then, but I think if your name has been taken by a different professional team in a different professional sport, you're a bit irrelevant as a franchise.

     

     

    So... the Toronto Maple Leafs are irrelevant then...

    So, I’m all for “Home field advantage”, but this seems a little ridiculous. It may just be a dumb coincidence, and I don’t really know how you fix this, but it really does feel like the Dolphins are always wrapped up in some shady :censored:. 
     

    Dolphins Clever Stadium Design Has Created A 30° Temperature Difference Between Home & Away Sidelines

    Isn't the home team typically situated where they are facing away from the sun?  Maybe it wasn't the intent since this was a renovated stadium, but it is clever. I often wonder why more NFL stadiums don't have the same kind of canopy as Miami.

    Perhaps the visiting team might want to add some sheltered benches

    But honestly, this really is the Bills year to lose. They are clearly the best team in the league and it’s not close. If there was ever a time they were going to win a Super Bowl, it has to be this year. 

    The perverse part of me wants to see the Eagles beat the Bills in the Super Bowl, which would mean Buffalo would have lost to east NFC East team.

    Bad call is a bad call. Doesn’t make it not bad if it doesn’t affect the final score.

    The issue, for me, is the timing. It is one thing to go for it when there is less than, say, 15 seconds left. But at 4 minutes left, the Raiders could have kicked to tie and hope to stop the Chiefs on the next possession.

    FC Cincinnati Officially clinched a playoff spot! I’m very happy for the diehards who watched every game going back to the USL days and during the back-to-back-to-back last place finishes. I caught a few games in those days (mostly as a quarantine distraction), but I can’t say I was really invested. This was the first year I really keyed in and watched 90% of all games and attended four. If you’d told me after that first game in Austin ended in a bloodbath that they’d make the playoffs I wouldn’t have believed it. 

    It's been a good year for Cincinnati football.
