There's something so low-rent about Al Michaels being on streaming. I don't even like the idea of the NFL being on cable.

At least he will no longer have to deal with Cris Collinsworth creeping up on him like a desperate guy at a bar counter.

Fox has some options for sure.  No wonder Michael Strahan was rumored as the lead analyst.  Will be interesting if Fox hires externally or promotes from within.

This is quite the shake up

The Philly complex model is a bit of a mixed bag, it's still on a subway line at least but also has parking for all the suburbanites and tailgaters, and there's never a question of land when it's time to build a new stadium. I'm surprised they haven't built out more of an outdoor mall thing there, just that utterly bizarre "Xfinity Live" complex. But in a city like Philadelphia it does feel weird to be so apart from the city itself.

Not having been to Philadelphia, but by looking at location on the map, is it anything like getting to a Mets game?

Toronto's out to a 24-4 start over the Lakers in LA.

 

And the Lakers are still likely to make the play-in game.

 

Maybe they should cancel that this year.

Even I wasn't expecting a 33-12 quarter.

Owner Bob Castellini has started to become more hated around here than Bengals owner Mike Brown.

We won the MLS Cup and all we got was this lousy banner

Carolina Edmonton is one of my favorite Finals in the last 20 years.....

Sure, it was one of the my favorites too .... like, maybe, 19th favorite out of 20.

I appreciate the effort, but they didn't nail it. I don't care for the clashing typefaces, which 

 

 

 

Remember how hideous this was? 

The Carolina-Edmonton final was quite forgettable.  Still hilarious that they put 'Eastern' on the left side and 'Western' on the right.

Coincidentally, Chelsea was founded on March 10, 1905. Happy Birthday?

There's video all over Twitter and it's horrifying.

I am not sure I want to see such footage. Just awful to hear. 

Fox will only let Joe and Troy go to ESPN if they get Oswald the Rabbit in return....

Good lord... when I first read the headline I thought this was from the archives.

those letters look really small and they should had RoboPenguin as the shoulder patch like the fan in the front row .

Maybe Chicago? One of the Texas teams?

 

You're probably right that Neymar, Messi and Ronaldo end up in the marquee markets, but it sure would be exciting if one of them ended up in a Charlotte, Austin, Columbus or, of course, Seattle.

There's a marketing opportunity waiting to happen...  Cristiano Columbus

Wow, another color scheme that "just screams Utah," remarkable!

I never knew Utah was that welcoming for the  LGBTQ community. 

Wow. The Leafs Arenas  would have been better off taking the U of T sweaters and remove the red leaf

Well, nothing in the New South is really built to last, so I'm not totally surprised, but it's still obnoxious. I can understand those cheapo '70s domes not standing the test of time, but I would think that by the late '90s, we would have figured out stadium construction and maintenance a little better. I mean, this place ain't Madison Square Garden; most of the year it just sits there not doing anything. How much could you have let it go to crap unless you were trying to?

...and on top of that the stadium is surrounded by a Gila River Arena parking lot that is also not doing anything. If a stadium was such a great investment,  all the owners would have paid for it themselves. A city is better off having a souless mall at the same location.

The Tennessee Titans are allegedly looking into a new stadium.

 

I don’t know enough or really anything about their current stadium, but what is so wrong with it that it needs an upgrade besides some billionaire demanding welfare? 

Look at it this way though.... it is not like it is in as bad a shape as FedEx Field....

• "For example, the stadium's structural frame was built with concrete and needs to be largely replaced with steel. The mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems need to be completely replaced. The window system throughout the building is so antiquated that it is not even manufactured anymore."

How about we just wait until his career is over before we make a proper assessment as to whether Stafford is a hall of famer? 

Mattew Stafford winning the same year as Georgia winning the National title seems poetic.

... and Stan Kreonke's glorious, maniacal plan that took years in the making actually worked...

i like the size and shape but what’s with the glass shiny effect? I thought we left that aesthetic behind 7 years ago.

and also using a circle at the center. I would have expected something like this from CBS

Trying to determine if the NBC logo bugs me or not.

The *gloss/glare* effect bothers me more than the logo.
