  1. With the available technology we have today, there's really no reason why there shouldn't be sensors in the puck and along each line, with lights that illuminate when the puck crosses each line. It could eliminate any gray area when it comes to goals, icings, and offside calls.
  2. Well HDTV's and television innovations have kinda eliminated the need for a constant glowing puck. What this will really help with is when there's madness in the crease and there's some question whether the puck crossed the line or not.
  3. I'll believe it when I hear it from FIFA. Anytime there's been rumblings about the 2022 World Cup removal, Qatar gives FIFA some extra cash miraculously gets back on schedule. Who can host it on 4-5 years notice? It looks like the US wants the 2026 World Cup. I would think FIFA wouldn't like giving Europe back-to-back Cups (though it would be understandable on short notice)
  4. Well, it's an unfortunate situation he put himself in, because outside of a couple 3-hour stretches during the season, he seems to be a really genuine, likeable guy. I was curious about which direction this would go on Facebook from black women....most took the black side over the women side, and some even brought up Trump in their argument. Not sure it was a "really good apology", though. I watched it....definitely sounded like he wrote it himself. And he did manage to work in the "I'm sorry that you got offended" quip, which isn't an apology.
  5. Ever since Caldwell came on in 2014, the Detroit Lions are tied for the 10th-best record. Pretty good turnaround from where they were 9 years ago.
  6. Jamele's just looking for a way to stay relevant and generate some ratings for that 6pm SportsCenter that no one's watching. And if there's anything I've learned over the years, a desperate person will often go the "race route" to be their Hail Mary effort. What prompted her tweet(s)?
  7. If this is the only con in the Rays looking to improve their stadium situation and overall situation, it's not really that much of a gamble. Especially if the locals feel it'll be a solution and there's no real alternative for MLB to look at. This is exactly why the Rays have been talking to the Braves people. The Braves did a lot of surveys and a lot of research when it came to putting together their SunTrust Park/Battery Atlanta plan, and early numbers suggest it's been a huge success. Traffic hasn't been the disaster Atlantans thought it'd be, and leaving the ballpark area has been much more of a breeze than Turner Field. And there's so much to see and do around the ballpark now. The Rays want in on that. If the TV numbers are high but attendance is low, that's telling me the fans are looking for inspiration to go to the ballpark. An unexciting building that's quite the distance to drive to with high-ish ticket prices (last time I bought tickets to a Rays game, they seemed so much more costly than Braves tickets) isn't cutting it.
  8. Penguins fans will disappear once Crosby is done, just like they disappeared when Mario left the ice for good.
  9. I went to the Braves game last night, and was chatting it up with these two guys that were next to us. He was from Tampa, so naturally the Rays and their ballpark came up. He had a couple of interesting tidbits: 1. Apparently the Rays people are in communication with the Braves about how they were able to come up with stadium location and all that fun stuff. (So I guess this goes in line with whatever the Rays planned on discussing come this offseason...wasn't there something about the Rays and stadium plans coming this December?) 2. The population of St. Petersburg has gone up in the last five years, though it remains the poorer city between them and Tampa. 3. The desire seems to be for a retractable roof, because this is Florida in the summertime.
  10. Providence and Columbus aren't going to pursue a MLB-sized stadium because they know they're never getting a team. And Memphis simply can't afford 81 homes a year.. Has nothing to do with being a "significant secondary market". (Memphis to St. Louis is about the same distance as Nashville is to both Atlanta and St. Louis)
  11. Any possibility that the actual logo/uniform/etc change can be linked onto the opening post, too?
  12. At this point, every market currently without a MLB franchise is a "secondary market" to some team. Vegas, Portland, Nashville, Indianapolis, etc. That won't be a deciding factor.
