There are already too many MLB teams in media markets that marquee players either a) will never be interested in playing in, and/or b) are markets whose owners won't support making such big investments into the team. Either or both of these things hinder those teams abilities to ever compete for winning the World Series, which of course is the #1 goal of any team.

MLB, and other sports for that matter, gain very little from any further expansion at this point. How many MLB teams are there as is whose basic function seems to be nothing more than "to exist" right now?  We don't need to add more to that list.

It feels like the Orioles got the tougher end of the AL playoffs, even though they're the top seed. I know you have to eventually face tougher opponents as you advance, but this Rangers team looks dangerous. They could've been a top seed if they didn't choke it up.

The same is true for the Braves in the NL.

Does this mean that the red and orange parts of the country don't get 1:00 FOX games, and the people with 1:00 FOX games don't get those two 4:00 games?

Yes. For whichever network only has regional rights in a given week, you either get a 1:00 game or a 4:00 game, but you don't get a game in both windows. 

Rays found out that, even after 16 years, if you dress like the Devil Rays, you're in danger of playing like the Devil Rays. For shame. We'll probably never see those uniforms in a playoff game ever again.

By all means, lets build a new stadium in the same damn place where there's still going to be issues getting people from Tampa or Sarasota or Clearwater...how stupid can you be? I don't care for the argument of "not enough of a local fanbase", because the Lightning are also a '90s expansion franchise and they've been wildly popular for a long time. It's not a good argument. The difference is the Lightning play in downtown Tampa, a very accessible area with a larger population base that also can draw people from Orlando and Lakeland and Kissimmee if they want to make the drive. You don't get that in St. Petersburg, you're surrounded by the ing water in almost every direction and terrible rush hour traffic and people aren't making that g-ddamned drive on a regular basis.

Build a new stadium for the Rays in St. Petersburg, and all you get is the same arguments about attendance existing for the next 40+ years.

That Rays tweet takes the words out of the post I was about to write...kinda neat though. I always liked the green-based Devil Rays uniforms better but either way it's fun to see that.

I wonder how people would feel about the NFL going the college route & not requiring knee-high socks?

I think I’d probably prefer that over the white pants & white leggings look that more & more teams have been trotting out (I think it looks fine with complete white-out looks like the Cardinals, but when the Vikings or Eagles pair it with a dark helmet & jersey, it looks terrible).

The NFL should never go the route of ditching the knee high socks. I hate the leggings look as much as anyone, the pants and socks should never be the same color, but I'll take the leggings look over short socks and bare skin...frankly, it's the one thing I've always hated the most about the CFB aesthetic, and I appreciated that guys like Joe Burrow actually did wear knee-high purple socks at LSU.

Jets are the most pointless WAH team ever.

Broncos/Bears...holy Lord you've got to be kidding me. Football gods scheduled that -show perfectly.

I'm gonna stand by my somewhat unpopular opinion that the Chargers best look both away and at home involves the white pants and not the yellow ones...I'm generally not a fan of the helmets, jerseys, and pants all being different colors, and this is especially true when the helmets are white...the white/powder/yellow look just doesn't do it for me. At the risk of using an unpopular buzz word, white/powder/white and all white w/powder socks are just "cleaner" looks to me. 

I like all-white looks best with white helmets and either colored socks or white socks w/stripes on them. Chargers pull it off. Saints and Bills look like trash.

So the Jets are just permanently WAH now or something?

NHL's  pre-season schedule begins a little over a week from today, the regular season beginning is less than a month away, making this as good a time as any to begin this season's NHL thread.

To kick it off - Mike Babcock's Columbus career might not make it to opening night.

This is a reminder to everyone to please check your records as well, because unfortunately there is always the risk I'm going to make a mistake somewhere...~30 people, 16 games...I try my best but that's a lot of opportunities to make a mistake.

And do as Chawls did and tag me (or quote my end-of-week post). I'm not on this website as much as I used to be and I generally don't check this thread during the week when picks are being made...but obviously I do get a notification alert when quoted or tagged so I'll notice those immediately.

The correction will be seen on Week 2's post and has been made in my notes. Thanks.

Football is a funny game. 22 grown men chase a ball around for 60 minutes and, in the end, Zach Wilson is still the Jets  ing quarterback.

Posting this here because it feels more appropriate here than the broadcast graphics thread...Fox having the Bear head logo instead of the C in their scoring graphic just looks weird.

Vikings need to make these uniforms their primaries ASAP. These are beautiful.
