  1. What I feel is the best possible realignment option for a 32-team MLB, probably the better half of 10 years out, preserving the AL/NL setup, assuming the next 2 expansion teams are Nashville and Salt Lake City (in italics). AL East Baltimore Boston Cleveland Chicago White Sox Detroit NY Yankees Tampa Bay Toronto AL West Houston Kansas City LA Angels Oak/LV Minnesota Seattle Texas Utah* NL East Atlanta Cincinnati Miami Nashville* NY Mets Philadelphia Pittsburgh Washington NL West Arizona Colorado Chicago Cubs LA Dodgers Milwaukee St. Louis San Diego San Francisco I at least find 4 divisions of 8 to work better for leagues that play so many games as opposed to 8 divisions of 4 (which is basically every Big 4 league except the NFL). The goal here was to preserve as many rivalries as possible while minimizing the number of time zones in each division, which gets tougher the further west you go. Part of me wanted to see if I could put the Astros back into the NL West, but ultimately decided against it due to the success they've had as an AL team, though you could effectively swap them with Milwaukee. *You can easily interchange Nashville with a Carolina team (whether Charlotte or Raleigh) and Utah with Las Vegas, Oakland, or Portland (and that IMO includes the outside chance that the A's themselves wind up in Salt Lake City permanently), but I'm going with what appears to be the likeliest outcome at the time of typing.
  2. One good way to judge a logo (or uniform/overall identity)--at least in my book--is how well you can theoretically extrapolate it back to a given time and design a logo that feels like a faithful update it; in other words, you create a logo that feels like it's been around for much longer than it actually has. This new Lexington Legends logo feels like it's been--in one form or another--around since the 1960s or 1970s, and the work shows in it.
  3. Ah, NFL QB Club ‘98, the game where Marv Albert was the in-game commentator despite his legal issues at the time and any free agent you signed would eventually become M. Clark #84.
  4. I agree. Even for those throughout North America, moving the Super Bowl to Saturday could also give people more time to celebrate and/or recover over the remainder of the weekend before going back to regular life. It’s at least something worth looking into.
  5. This Jazz fan hearing the name Alec Burks: Funny how he and Bojan Bogdanovic remain teammates in going to New York. I’m glad they’re both not rotting away the rest of the season in Detroit.
  6. With the recent chatter in the news about putting the A’s on hiatus until their Las Vegas stadium is done, and some comments on here about a temporary team to fill in the gap, it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if MLB pushed Fisher to sell the A’s to Big League Utah while granting him an all-new expansion team in Vegas. Obviously SLC would need to figure out funding for the MLB stadium, but they almost seem to have a better plan there than Vegas at the moment. Salt Lake gets their team and Vegas gets time to figure out their stadium/funding, getting a new team of their own. No one goes on hiatus (unless Fisher wants the A’s brand/records and wants to do some form of Browns/Ravens situation).
  7. With them likely losing, please tell me that Detroit’s new duds aren’t going to stink to high heaven.
  8. If there’s any consolation in the Lions blowing the lead and losing this game, maybe it’s that they’ll come to their aesthetic senses in the years to come (it might be more than 5 years, though).
  9. Conference Championship Sunday NFC CHAMPIONSHIP Detroit at San Francisco AFC CHAMPIONSHIP Kansas City at Baltimore
  10. It ain’t the Super Bowl, but the words “Wide Right” continue to haunt Buffalo. Maybe the Lions can finally break through and upset the 49ers. *Crosses fingers for Lions/Ravens Super Bowl*
  11. Loved the Ravens’ black pants even more in 1997 and 1998: I would’ve loved to see Baltimore wear the black pants with their purple jerseys at least once then, or would put stripes on their pants now.
  12. It was the big story around town yesterday. Currently, the AAA Bees plan to leave Smith’s Ballpark after the 2024 PCL season for the new stadium in Daybreak (on the southwest corner of the Salt Lake Valley) in 2025, but that still-under-construction ballpark is what the A’s are eyeing. Aside from a smaller capacity, the new ballpark as planned will have the facilities a Major League team needs, with separated bullpens and batting cages for both home and visiting teams. There’s not much of a geographic footprint to expand on at Smith’s Ballpark without tearing down nearby homes, either. The seating capacity at the new park would be temporarily expanded from its planned 7,500 to about 11,000 for the A’s while the Bees remain at Smith’s Ballpark for the duration of their layover in Salt Lake. https://kslsports.com/510099/does-having-two-stadiums-give-salt-lake-city-edge-to-temporarily-land-as/ Of course, I can see a (not very likely) situation where funding for the Vegas stadium is delayed or falls through and Fisher is forced to sell the A’s to the Big League Utah group (while being granted a Las Vegas franchise), who in turn would build their planned Power District stadium west of downtown Salt Lake.
  13. Divisional Round Saturday Houston at Baltimore Green Bay at San Francisco Sunday Tampa Bay at Detroit Kansas City at Buffalo
  14. This Utah State alum is happy for Jordan Love. That said, I’m bummed that we won’t be getting a Browns/Cowboys Blunder Bowl, at least this year.
  15. Wild Card Round Saturday Cleveland at Houston Miami at Kansas City Sunday Green Bay at Dallas LA Rams at Detroit Monday Pittsburgh at Buffalo Philadelphia at Tampa Bay
  16. I wonder if conditions at the Meadowlands or Cincinnati would be better enough to host the Bills game if it has to be moved.
  17. Week 18 Saturday Pittsburgh at Baltimore Houston at Indianapolis Sunday Tampa Bay at Carolina Atlanta at New Orleans Jacksonville at Tennessee NY Jets at New England Cleveland at Cincinnati Minnesota at Detroit Philadelphia at NY Giants Dallas at Washington Seattle at Arizona LA Rams at San Francisco Chicago at Green Bay Kansas City "at" LA Chargers Denver at Las Vegas Buffalo at Miami

  19. A smaller nitpick of mine is the mismatched shade of gold, Granted, for some reason it doesn’t stand out as much as the socks, but it does stand out. Part of me hopes New Orleans wakes up and realizes that the best shade of gold for them is their brassy shade of gold and matches the helmet to it someday (as well as burning their plain white and black pants), but that makes too much sense.
  20. Week 16 Thursday New Orleans at LA Rams Saturday Cincinnati at Pittsburgh Buffalo "at" LA Chargers Sunday Washington at NY Jets Detroit at Minnesota Cleveland at Houston Green Bay at Carolina Seattle at Tennessee Indianapolis at Atlanta Jacksonville at Tampa Bay Dallas at Miami Arizona at Chicago New England at Denver Monday Las Vegas at Kansas City NY Giants at Philadelphia Baltimore at San Francisco
  21. One other thought I’ve had (provided that the Texans do in fact add Luv Ya Blue to their color scheme) is to go primarily Red with Light Blue and Navy accents. That way, they have virtually the same color scheme as the Titans but still manage to stand out (which, given the general blueness of the AFC South, isn’t a bad thing).
