If you're going to try and reignite the Pirates-Phillies and Jays-Tigers rivalries they need to be in the same division, even if MLB would go back to the old style of inter league play those rivalries shouldn't be cast off to the gimmick series, they should be fighting it out for the division or playoff spot. When MLB would schedule the Pirates and Tigers series on a summer weekend there was a large number of fans who'd make the trip to the other city for the games, plus as someone who's lived in both, the cities are very similar. Not everyone realizes that Detroit and Pittsburgh are a 5ish hour drive apart, PNC Park is actually closer to Comerica Park in Detroit (286 miles) than it is to Citizens Bank Park in Philly (310 miles).

If I remember right the Bud and the Braves excuse was that they wanted to form a rivalry with the new Florida Marlins, but the main reason is they didn't want the Central Time starts that came with being in a division with the Astros, Cards and Cubs.

The Pirates should be in the East, the Phillies, Nats, and Mets are all in the same time zone, geographically closer and there was a stretch when the Buccos and Phillies were one of the fiercest rivalries in baseball. It was malpractice by the Pirates ownership at the time to allow them to be moved to the Central.

They're not moving anywhere, this is just blackmail to get someone else to pay for the stadium. Plus the other owners would rather get expansion fee money from Nashville instead of relocation fee money from the Sox owners.

The Pens also updated the Briere and Lemieux banners to match Jagr's.

What would be the spread in that game? KC -70 with an over/under of 70? Or would it crack the three digit barrier?

Swift was shown for 55 seconds in an almost 5 hour broadcast, it's really sad that a huge segment of the population can't deal or are a making a huge issue out of it. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/taylor-swift-super-bowl-broadcast-times-shown/fb2cdf77f087a2650f759964

It's about winning not stats, Bradshaw won 4, was MVP in 2 of them, and beat historic defenses in 3 of them.

Ummm Ken Anderson is no where near any tier Joe Montana and Mahomes is in, he's in the bottom end of the tier of QB's who made 1 Super Bowl and lost. Right now Mahomes is on the level with Bradshaw and Montana, even though he has one less ring than them.

Those teams and eventually the A's don't play in her city, they play in Unincorporated Clark County.

The play on the drop wasn't perfectly called or executed, Bosa got around the edge fast, which forced Goff to hurry the pass, which then caused Reynolds to come back to the ball.

But this guy doesn't seem to be a normal/legit media person, he's posting click bait conspiracy theory nonsense.

He's someone who paid for a blue checkmark.

The Field formally know as Heinz was way way too big for the USFL and all of the empty bright yellow seats would have looked way worse than playing in a small stadium. The modern spring leagues are purely a tv product, they should have gone with unique smaller venues for their games, instead of playing in big stadiums that are 1/4th full.

Highmark would totally be able to the traffic and parking for Spring Football, a large amount of people park in the Station Square area for Steeler, Pitt and Pirate games and take the T or Gateway Clipper to the game.

They made a huge mistake by not having the Maulers play at Highmark Stadium(the Pittsburgh one), they would have filled it up, 5,000 fans in a 5,000 seat stadium in Pittsburgh looks way better than a 500 people in a 25,000 seat stadium in Canton, Ohio.

Yeah, they're expecting fans to do a lot of traveling and will act shocked when there's empty seats.

If Penn State would have joined the Big East in the early 80's they would have still left when the Big 10 came calling at the end of the decade, there's no way Penn State is turning down the money the Big 10 was offering. Everyone seems to forget or doesn't know that the main reason Penn State tried to join the Big East was so they could get cut in on tv money from basketball while being able to keep all of their football tv money, they had no real desire to be in a conference for football in that timeframe. Also Big East Football was a reaction to that first round of conference expansion and the Catholic schools keeping BC, Pitt and Syracuse from leaving for the proposed Raycom Super Conference.

Yeah, the amount of money needed to get someone to throw a game or shave points will drive up the amount that's betted by the gamblers, big money bet on a random Bama-Florida regular season baseball game is going to alert the sports books and law enforcement that something is up.

Maybe that's the point the NFL ditches conferences and goes with just divisions, they'd most likely expand the playoffs to 16 teams.

Peacock has a $19.99 for a year sale going on right now and has them throughout the year.

They want a Super Bowl and to get into the Final 4 rotation, need a dome for those. They can also use it for country music stuff and other big events.

Once Texas and Oklahoma leave the Big 12 is a step below the ACC, it's the Island of Misfit Toy's of conferences. The ACC isn't anywhere near "dismantling" and it's more likely the ACC would raid the Big 12 if schools like Clemson or FSU left.

Schools like NC State, Pitt, VT and Louisville aren't going to dissolve the GOR to downgrade the conference they're in, the only way they'll reach 8 is if the B1G and/or SEC take 8.

There are no rumors, just bs thrown out by fanboys of Big 12 teams.
