While he did get lucky and hit a HR in the 9th, it's gotten so bad for this loser that even the TV PBP guy - who's the nicest guy in the world - is laughing at how bad he is. These are two consecutive pitches.
Then what happened? Trea will be just fine

That roundel logo is outstanding, great work all around!

There are 32 teams competing for 14 playoff spots in the NFL. There are 131 teams competing for 4 playoff spots (currently) in FBS. The systems are not comparable.
I'd argue that if we're making conference championships a playoff qualifier, that's 12-16 teams competing for 2 spots apiece.

You are literally the only person I have ever heard complain about this.
As a Bears fan, I complain about this rule, if only because it came into play on perhaps the worst challenge of all time.

Couldn't find answers on google, how come White Sox players can get away with wearing red gear? Is it because they were a RWB team at some point?
I'm a Sox fan and honestly I don't know. I don't think it's a past color scheme thing because Yoan Moncada wore yellow gloves for much of the year. I'm about positive he wore purple at some point, but I can't find a picture.
I know I shouldn't like it, but I thought it was fun to have each player with their "signature" color. The black and white uniforms lent themselves nicely to it.

I think this is the first time in a while were both LCS series were decided in five games or less. I'm lazy to look up when the last time that happened was, but I'm sure it's been a hot minute.
2014 I believe

Have you thought about maybe putting the shape of the rock inside of the B? The two wide areas could be the two "holes" in the letter.

I think a top
1011 should about cover it. I'll echo @CS85's thoughts about watching a team you love fall apart just like you knew they would. This last weekend's Bears games was the epitome of that feeling, but in terms of specific days, here's my list.11. September 9, 2018: Packers vs Bears. This will be a theme throughout the list. Aaron Rodgers is my least favorite human being in the entire scope of history. I hate his precision, I hate his stupid smug face, I hate his State Farm commercials, but most of all I hate the inevitability that he will beat the Bears. No lead is safe, no team is good enough to beat this man, and I'm doomed to watch him slice through our defense for the rest of time.
10. April 28, 2012: Derrick Rose tears his ACL vs. the 76ers. I didn't realize the consequences of this at the time, but the aftermath and being robbed of one of the most entertaining players I've ever seen hurts quite a bit.
9. November 10, 2014: Packers vs. Bears. Aaron Rodgers throws 6 touchdowns in the first half against the worst Bears defense I have ever seen. This loss came immediately after getting curbstomped by the Patriots the previous week. I don't think I've ever cheered for a worse team than that one.
8. February 7, 2007: Super Bowl XLI. For whatever reason this loss doesn't bother me as much as the more recent Bears disasters, as I was just happy to be there. Still not a great feeling to lose the Super Bowl.
7. April 4, 2005: Illinois loses to North Carolina in the National Championship. I was five years old when this happened, and this was the first team that I ever really got into. Dee Brown and Deron Williams were my heroes. I remember my parents finally letting me stay up long enough to watch the end, and being absolutely devestated when they lost. I think this was the most I cried over a single sporting event.
6. May 10, 2015: Lebron buzzer beater in Game 4 vs. the Bulls. For as much as I hate Aaron Rodgers, Lebron is right up there in terms of always beating my team. After the Rose buzzer beater in the previous game I thought this time would be different, but as soon as Lebron pulled up for the shot I knew this series was over.
5. June 1, 2014: Blackhawks vs. Kings Game 7. I'll admit that this loss doesn't hurt that much in the context of winning three Stanley Cups, but losing in overtime in Game 7 is always heartbreaking.
4. October 10, 2017: The USMNT loses to Trinidad & Tobago to miss the World Cup. Something that should never have happened, but something we totally deserved. We still haven't recovered from the aftermath, and I'm questioning whether we ever will.
3. January 23, 2011: NFC Championship Game: The next-closest the Bears had come to winning it all. This one didn't hurt quite so much as I thought it would as I was still fairly young and the pain felt duller than the #2 and #1. This game wasn't taken from us at the last moment, instead I was forced to watch us slowly fall short as Caleb Hainie threw a pass to BJ Raji for no apparent reason. Seeing the Packers win it all two weeks later hurt even more.
2. December 29, 2013: Aaron Rodgers 4th & 8 to Randall Cobb. Those same damn Packers. The day Aaron Rodgers finally retires will instantly hit the top ten of my best days of my life as a sports fan.
1. January 6, 2019: Cody Parkey Double Doink. Especially in the context of this season to see the first good Bears team in years fall apart in the most predictable way possible was heartbreaking. That was our shot at the Super Bowl, as it's clear that whatever worked last year is now gone.

The NBA alignment is boring, too many teams make the playoffs and divisions mean nothing. I'd like to see them try this:
ATLANTIC DIVISION
Boston Celtics
New York Knicks
Brooklyn Nets
Philadelphia 76ers
Washington Wizards
Toronto Raptors
CENTRAL DIVISION
Cleveland Cavaliers
Detroit Pistons
Indiana Pacers
Milwaukee Bucks
Chicago Bulls
Minnesota Timberwolves
SOUTHEAST DIVISION
Charlotte Hornets
Memphis Grizzlies
Atlanta Hawks
Orlando Magic
Miami Heat
New Orleans Pelicans
SOUTHWEST
San Antonio Spurs
Dallas Mavericks
Houston Rockets
OKC Thunder
Denver Nuggets
Utah Jazz
PACIFIC
Phoenix Suns
Los Angeles Lakers
LA Clippers
Sacramento Kings
Golden State Warriors
Portland Trailblazers
So obviously not too much change, outside of conferences being abandoned and being replaced by five 6 team divisions. Some teams get shuffled around, but into more geographically sensical arrangements.Here's how I'd do the playoffs, using the 2018-19 results as a guide. 11 teams are in, the five division winners and the next six best teams.
Division Winners (First round bye)
1. Milwaukee Bucks: 60-22
2. Toronto Raptors: 58-24
3. Golden State Warriors: 57-25
4. Denver Nuggets: 54-28
5. Orlando Magic: 42-40
Wildcards (Best of 5 Play in Round)
6. Portland Trail Blazers: 53-29
7. Houston Rockets: 53-29
8. Philadelphia 76ers: 51-31
9. Utah Jazz: 50-32
10. Boston Celtics: 49-33
11. OKC Thunder: 49-33
The very obvious problem here is that the Southeast division is hot garbage and so the Magic make the playoffs at 42-40, a worse record than the Spurs, Clippers, and Pacers who all missed the playoffs. I think this is a small price to pay for this new alignment, and will likely be an outlier as the league shifts. With this alignment, the divisions actually matter and so hopefully division rivalries will matter a lot more. Also with first round byes at stake hopefully there would be fewer "rest" days for big stars and the teams that perform better during the regular season and win the division will be rewarded with a week of rest.
