  1. If by "massive missed opportunity" you mean being spared another ugly ass NFL uniform, I agree.
  2. How did I forget that classic?
  3. It's not like I needed one, but there's one more reason for me to hate soccer.
  4. Which is precisely my biggest issue with current sports branding. It's no longer enough to just be a team with a nickname. These days, you have to incorporate a bunch of made up nonsense that comes with that nickname. "The shoulders are swords", "the numbers represent the sabres used by Buccaneers", "the orange stitching represents the precise workmanship of Cleveland steel workers" (or something like that), and so on. It's gone from ridiculous back when it started to straight up parody now. That being said, I can't wait to see how Nike comes up with a way to make a garden variety, backyard bird into some sort of fierce warrior.
  5. "Their shoulders are swords" or something silly like that was part of the Nike-Speak when the Titans uniforms were unveiled.
  6. No, it's just the right amount of distaste.
  7. It's because the media wouldn't shut the up about him and his brother.
  8. I'm a Browns fan and I can name exactly one Cleveland Browns offensive lineman - Joe Bittonio. I'm pretty sure that's his name anyway. I'm not entirely sure I could name another offensive lineman in the entire NFL. At least not in early April. Try me again in late August. EDIT: Jason Kelce. I know his name too.
  9. BB on the bat boy's jersey been around for many years.
  10. If I were in charge, managers and coaches would just be wearing team gear like NFL coaches do. MLB managers and coaches wearing the same uniforms as the players is as pointless as it is silly.
  11. No argument that he's a bad ump, but calling for him to be terminated from life, while obviously hyperbole (I think), still isn't a great look. You're more creative than that.
  12. Sure they are, just ask them. As I was saying... I think we outnumber the actual Rays fans here. (as if that's a high bar to clear
  13. My high school team is named the Truckers. If anything, pro teams should be copying them. Anyway, there are quite a few teams in the area that are copies of college or pro teams. But this team is the only one I know of that does both. Eagles logo with Michigan helmets.
  14. This is a perfect example of why MLB needs a pitch clock.
  15. I'm not entirely sure that crew could win 85 games in AAA. In their defense, they'd get 20 less cracks at it in AAA so there's that, I guess.
  16. The Cardinals because it sounds like something they would do.
  17. Getting rid of the existential crisis that took place between every pitch is great, but I think 15 seconds looks a little rushed. A 20 second pitch clock seems like the right balance between the game being played at 1.5 speed and watching the grass grow a quarter of an inch between every pitch.
  18. There was also this... I'm fine with all of it. Enough of the pitcher contemplating the universe while the batter adjusts everything on his body between every pitch. Get in the box and hit. MLB needed this.
  19. I'm all for it. It's not like going full Zapruder film every five minutes or so ever gets old. While we're at it, let's add another 15-20 pages to the definition of a catch.
