The Ringer seems to have found its way.

Speaking of, Simmons had a solid pod the other day discussing the present & future of sports media.

I don't like the Steelers logo.

Not gonna lie, its single side of helmet uniqueness keeps it from being lost for me.  Otherwise it is quite generic.

Any day w/o Mike Lupica on TV is instantly a good day.

Truer words were never ever spoken.  Ever.

I've thought about it before also, for MLB, but I also think the newness of it would wear off after only 1-2 seasons, esp now that we've had an era of interleague, also nothing special anymore.

The other night Rob Manfred mentioned he was open to the possibility of east/west geographical realignment. 

 

I think they'd want to wait until they're facing a financial dip & want to shock the system before they do it.

East v West World Series might be hard to swallow for a lot of people.  A lot.

Once mid to late 1999 hit.

Associated with success imo.  

Green looks weak on the NJ Devils.  

Green & devil don't match for me ever.

There's certainly a lot of that

Johns.  Pass.  Drops.  Mic.

Men's side, truth is truth.

When I see this logo, I feel a rush of emotions, and none of them are failure

It really captures Tampa/St. Pete for me - endless pirate themed seafood restaurants with the smell of salt water in the air.

(btw, I haven't been to the region since '93, yet from what I see online, I think much remains)

Presidents' Trophy is worthy I think.  

This is a post about getting a little worn out by The Ringer's approach.  Sure I've it bookmarked & there are some weekly goodies... alas most of the site tries to be so definitively cute...

'Thailand is the real global soccer powerhouse because of this training regiment.'

'Why this tv show matters more than any this decade & you should know about it before it's cancelled.'

'Ranking the most valuable players based entirely without stats or on field performance.'

'How your team will win this year because we've unearthed the real science.'

'Steph Curry has taken over the world & we're not talking about the NBA world.'

'You need to read this book before your friend does to be better at life.'

etc

Uh huh... have to, got to, need to, must, required, you don't know yet but you should/have to... it's tedious.

This makes zero sense.  Zee.  Row.  ACC.  Nothing but a joke/eyesore.

I'm a regular Jay & Dan pod listener.  Wonder where they are in 6 months.  

Norway & Finland also.

re. SB rings, I prefer east-west rectangular rather than north-south jumbled.

NHL 08 bothered me that many goalies kept their real team personalized masks even while playing on new teams.  Not all.  I had Cam Ward fantasy drafted for the Leafs & they gave him a pretty cool Leafs'ish mask.  

I'm not certain yet I think playing home darks, the home fans still wore white jerseys in the stands.  I could be wrong on that, or a quirk using dark throwback unis, I dunno.

One of my fav vid game unis is Montreal Expos in RBI 3, really baby blue.  One of the silliest might be Houston Astros in the original RBI - fit for their weaksauce lineup.

Bob Costas has stepped down from Olympics hosting and will pass the torch to Mike Tirico.

Cant say this is a surprising move.

Not least the next 3 are in South Korea, Japan, & China.  Maybe Costas didn't want to travel far any more.  

I feel like we need a poll - paintbrush or sharktooth.  If you know, you know.

I'm team paintbrush & it's not close.

I like seeing colored alternates against each other in baseball, as long as they are different enough from one another where they can be appealing to the eye.

Yes, yet not in October.

Some NFLers in the CFL...

Cameron Wake

Joe Horn - Memphis Mad Dogs

Andre Rison

I feel like they maybe do already, yet I think the Saints should wear white 10-12 games a season.  Their black is good, yet their whites fit the Cowboys-Dolphins vibe for me.

NHL 100, BMO Field was the 125th venue to hold an NHL game.

Exactly 1000 players have been on a Stanley Cup winner.

Sometime this January, the 350,000th goal (regular season + playoffs) will be scored.
