Don't listen to @infrared41, he is clearly an industry plant trying to cover up the fact that the NHL is RIGGED!

Not sure why anyone would would ever put a team near Macon, it’s a godforsaken place. Dated a girl who lived there for a couple months, lovely girl but not worth the trouble of going to Macon. That NE corner of the metro area, specifically Alpharetta, is where the money is.

This arena project is for Forsyth County, not the city near Macon. Forsyth County is NE of Atlanta right next to Lake Lanier.

Oh, I’m fully aware that there were hundreds of reasons why the Thrashers failed, including the ownership group’s self-sabotage. My point was, if the NHL goes back and puts the arena in Forsyth they are completely ignoring all those other reasons for the Thrashers failure and unfairly putting all the blame on demographics.

Not a local and only lived there for just under 4 years. so take what I say with a grain of salt. Ga. Tech and Emory are not hosting any concerts or events outside of official school-sponsored stuff. There were a lot of reasons given for the location of the Battery, but the biggest one was so that the wealthy people in the burbs didn't have to deal with the downtown "scene" anymore. The Atlanta Metro area is massive and the northern suburbs are so determined to not have anything to do with the actual city that I definitely think they could make this arena work. I'm sure Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, and the like would much rather use this new venue than the NBA arena downtown. Them throwing an NHL team in Forsyth would be the league absolutely stating that the reason the Thrashers failed was that they were too far away from rich white people to succeed.

In Forsyth? That's still technically the metro area, but it might as well be in Tennessee. Having just moved away from Atlanta, it is astonishing how contentious the dynamic between the suburbs and the inner city is and the suburbs just keep one-upping themselves.

These are all top-notch, as always. My only critique is that most of the cap logos would benefit greatly from losing the drop shadows and outlines. With cap logos, less is always more.

His dad is in the basketball hall of fame and is one of the greatest high school basketball coaches ever. The Hurleys are synonymous with basketball, calling him a "random coach" is insane.

Up until his tumor last year, Mutumbo was still heavily involved in Denver charities and would appear at events regularly. I'm in my early 30's by the way. Melo is certainly an influential piece in the history of the Nuggets, I am not disputing that. I'm just saying his number does not need to be retired.

Melo was absolutely a better player than both of those guys, but he wasn't a better Nugget. Melo never embraced Denver and always felt like a rental. Both Mutumbo and Lever meant a great deal to the community. Plus, Lever accomplished just as much as Melo ever did, and Mutumbo was the centerpiece of one of the most memorable moments in the Nuggets' history. I harbor no ill will towards Melo at all, and I wouldn't be opposed to them retiring his number. But with how he forced his way out, the fact that he doesn't lead the Nuggets in any statistical category, and Jokic taking the number, I don't think it needs to be retired.

The Nuggets should not retire Melo's number.

EY has survived much worse scandals than rigging the draft of a sports league most people outside of Canada don't care about. Their reputation is far from spotless.

I mean, it is the College of Charleston. That uniform is a straight catalog order because their entire athletic budget is like $5.

That’s not on UA. That’s a long time alternate logo for CofC. They always try to play up “College” whenever they can. They refer to themselves as either The College or College of Charleston, never just Charleston. It’s dumb.

That's their normal home uniform. Not sure why, but they've been leaning hard into the sky/light blue lately for the basketball team.

Bill Walton was in top form tonight. It’s both a shame and completely understandable why they only let him call these midnight west coast games that no one watches.

Put the Pats in grey pants and I am in.

Have you seen youth football uniforms lately? They definitely don't wear all white uniforms.

I miss those Giants grey pants so much They should be worn home and away.

Yeah, that’s just some graphic design intern for the Peach Bowl throwing together whatever he can find to fulfill the design brief.

Glorious name, and a sweet logo to boot.

I doubt Deion jumps to the NFL. He'd be giving up too much control with an NFL job. If he's successful at Colorado, he'll make the jump to an SEC school as soon as possible. One of the second tier SEC schools will give him $9 Million a year and treat him like a god.

The New York Football Giants.

I was fully expecting a pro-Qatar spin to all the coverage from every outlet during the tournament, so that wasn’t too jarring of a thing. My bigger issue was the over the top whining anytime a call went against the US. I guess I should have expected that too.

I’m sure it’s just because I’m in a weird headspace from being sick all weekend, but as an American and casual soccer observer, I came away from this Wales/US game not wanting to root for team USA at all. Pulisic is incredibly unlikable. The commentators that Fox used were terrible and very biased. And most importantly, the uniforms are downright ugly. Also, the coaches’ sweater that just said “STATES” is the dumbest piece of clothing I’ve ever seen.
