    So I guess this isn't a clearcut situation of the NFL barring Costas. From what Costas is saying, "it's mutual." "The decision was mutually agreeable, and not only do I not have a problem with it, I am actually happy about it. I have long had ambivalent feelings about football, so at this point, it’s better to leave the hosting to those who are more enthusiastic about it...I have been making the same points for several years, often on NBC in halftime commentaries, interviews with Roger Goodell and other prominent NFL figures, appearances on CNN and elsewhere, I have addressed the issue of football and its undeniable connection to brain trauma many times. Why? Because the evidence is overwhelming and the effects are often devastating. It's the elephant in the stadium at every game whether others choose to acknowledge it or not. And it’s not going away. So the idea that I am only now finding my voice on this, or that NBC was taken aback by what I said at Maryland is just wrong. It’s all simple and straightforward." http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/01/24/bob-costas-says-nbcs-decision-to-remove-him-from-super-bowl-lii-coverage-was-mutual.html

    Can't risk Costas using the platform to spread truth that further smears the sport. I'm not defending the NFL here, I simply understand why they're doing this.

    Credit to Dan LeBatard for grilling Rob Manfred's ass on the shady dealing regarding the Marlins sale.

    John Skipper resigns from ESPN citing a "substance addiction."

    No tweet better describes modern America, honestly.

    Dealer, I choose to double down

    It was about Barstool, and I believe it was Portnoy who fought tooth and nail to make sure that the show with Big Cat & PFTC was a Barstool branded program. Ironically enough it was that very thing which likely got the thing so hastily axed. Bad enough ESPN's dealing with the Jemele Hill fallout. Didn't need to fight on multiple fronts, I guess, but it was a very stupid decision to validate such a grody enterprise with a program in the first place.

    ESPN cancelled their Barstool show.

    For those not in the know, ESPN's Jamele Hill went off on twitter, accurately calling our fatass slimeball blowhard president a Fatass Slimeball Blowhard President. FSBP naturally reacted immediately, demanding she kiss the tip of his gold-plated and likely toenail-growing metaphorical penis. ESPN then rushed to find a POC to fill her gap during the next SportsCenter. They all refused. She was then put out there anyway. There's a lot of weird quasi-apologies and mixed-truths floating around now, but ultimately it appears nothing came of it except for more arguments over the "Stick To Sports" movement that has birthed from mostly Twitter scum wanting to get their local sports beat writers to not make them feel guilty for being bigots/racists/general useless white fartknockers.

    Cringe with a capital "Ooosh..."

    Did default avatar size go up a smidge?

    Looks good! Fine work.

    "Read" forum buttons need to be faded more. Still too dark to be easily distinguished.

    Like the new thread icons, but for the sake of legibility/looking good, I'd remove the text portion of the roundel and just keep the circle/crest.

    Ahh yes, ol' Roboto. Meh. It's like the Coors Light of fonts. It's good for economy brand beers, but there's gotta be something better out there. Could do way, way worse, however. --- --- --- Disappointed to see that images don't automatically embed themselves. Tweets, YouTube seem fine. I don't like having to do the Insert other media/Insert image from URL thing.

    Is this using an Ubuntu font? I don't know if I like it. It's readable, but something about it feels off.
  20. CS85
    The multiquote button isn't bad, but the font color needs to be made white.
  21. CS85
    I still think there should be some red in there somewhere, but the baby blue is nice. Maybe find a button or something to make red, just to give the page a bit more color.

    I think Invision just did a mega update. Page went down last night/this morning briefly, and forced logouts minutes ago. Template looks very clean and all that. I honestly don't mind it.

    Got an Athletic Chicago subscription when they had a promotion where it was only $20 for a year. I'm not renewing if it's any more. I feel like the content's not bad for that price, but I wish the Tribune wasn't becoming more and more shrouded behind paywalls. They want $2/wk, which isn't bad, but...still.

    They were involved in the After The Thrones show on HBO (akin to The Talking Dead), and it was mostly cringe. It takes something already larger than life in both its lore and production and covers it in frosting. It's cloying. Just let the show be the show and let us handle the flow of conversation in our chosen capacity.

    ESPN fires John Clayton.
