EDIT: Listening to the Kilborn show. He's on cocaine, right? I can hear his heart about to explode through the microphone. OMG
Yeah... 'I don't do interviews because I'm more relaxed that way' ...looks like.
For someone who refuses interviews, he sure has a lot on his mind to share... about 'stories' he mentions & yet he keeps skipping to another story tease before actually telling the previous one.

I've never had ESPN, yet I can say that their website has been awful from day zero. That cluttered mess cannot help.

Matte Dodger batting helmets. No.
Very no. They look militaristic.

On desktop, you can select the "resize" icon on the top left, then delete the whole quote box.
Same thing on a phone - at least an Android phone. Click and hold on the quote title, i.e. "7 hours ago, 2001mark said:". The "resize" icon will appear again and you just need to press delete to have it go away.
Aye... I've never tried deleting it, simply right clicking without that option.

I don't know how to phrase this properly...
Is there a way around having to include a poster's reply as bumper in this message box when I bail on my own reply or the like? i.e. if I begin to type a reply & not bother... even if I return to post a fresh take the next day or week(? haven't got there yet), the previous poster's message/bumper I had been replying to continues to exist.
There seems to be no delete all option to include a previously posted reply- whereupon I've had to say 'this message has nothing to do with that person or message, there is no other option to participate without original bumper'.
I get that we don't have a delete post option, however being able to simply clear this box of stale irrelevant contents should be yes?

Simmons' pod with Jim Lampley was very good. I think Lamps gets forgotten a bit because HBO, & the fact that he's not among some 21st century wave of semi comedic sports personalities who try too hard.

Here's my latest NHL breakdown that could exist in 20yrs...
Eastern Conference
Maurice Richard Northeast Division
Montreal
Ottawa
Quebec City
Toronto Maple Leafs
Bobby Orr Northeast Division
Boston
Buffalo
Detroit
Columbus
Mark Messier Atlantic Division
New Jersey
New York Islanders
New York Rangers
Washington
Mario Lemieux Atlantic Division
Florida
Philadelphia
Pittsburgh
Tampa Bay
Western ConferenceBobby Hull Central Division
Chicago
Minnesota
Toronto Waxers
Winnipeg
Joe Sakic Central Division
Colorado
Dallas
Nashville
St. Louis
Wayne Gretzky Pacific Division
Calgary
Edmonton
Seattle
Vancouver
Luc Robitaille Pacific Division
Anaheim
Las Vegas
Los Angeles
San Jose
Each geographic division combo plays the exact same number of games between one another (i.e. the Leafs & Wings don't become strangers, the Penguins & Flyers aren't merely stuck with the Floridian teams, etc) so as never to cull long term rivalries. The top 2 teams from each division play one another in the 1st playoff round, then play the winning team from their cousin geographic division, etc until the east v west Final.
Las Vegas receives its first big 4 team.
Hurricanes become Quebec Nordiques.
Coyotes become Seattle Rainiers.
Toronto Waxers are born into the western conference to both appease the Leafs & to carve their own unique identity & culture.

As an FSU fan, the less than superb post Miami/VATech/etc era hasn't actually been all that bad, & I don't simply mean because of a national championship.
In effect, FSU has remained a bit of an island unto itself, or dare one says an Independent. They're the big fish in that smaller pond, & they've not been penalized much for it. Sure, ppl can claim that a single loss could kill a season... & yet their ridiculous annual rankings prove that it works both ways - having a bit of a more manageable schedule, with all due respect, keeps them in the title picture on an annual basis. So too for Miami if they could figure it out.
If FSU went to the SEC or Big 12 or absurdly the Big 10, they'd become trapped in a land of parity. Sure they could lose 2-3 games a year & look strong... but they'd be doing that with at least another half dozen+ to compete in what remains a land of human & computer rankings.
If today's Tennessee or Texas A&M or Penn State ever fell into the ACC, I'd argue they might find easier paths to the title picture.But then again, the ACC trails in tv & money & all that jazz... which as these slew of posts & links have shown trumps all & thus my entire rant invalid.

No. Alas, I'm in the minority on that ship. Personally it looks Arena'esque.

Tampa Bay gets first dibs at your NFC Central. Put Atlanta in the East.

The Rams won their SB with that building as their home. Keep that one up there at least.

I had Stanley Cup table top hockey or something...
That might've been 1985, the Christmas before Nintendo for me.
It was fun, I actually still have its 3" Stanley Cup on my bookshelf. Downside was the teams it came with were Canucks & Canadiens- not sure if that was some standard bilingual + regional balance thing for Canadians.I remember Wayne Gretzky's table game exploded right before 16-bit hockey vapourized it... 99's game must've made a killing, they were selling full 6 player sets for every NHL team.

NCAA football should do a FIFA style drawing every 4 years for 4 seasons of updated/randomized conferences. Screw traditions, screw tv, screw ADs, screw fixed rivalries...
Lets's see controlled chaos at its finest.

Oregon State
Boise State

Roberto Alomar doesn't even get his name on his banner??
I told you guys it'd be a thing. What if a father is asked by his daughter... & what if one day the father doesn't know.

Big12 playoff chatter once again. Big10 & co. want them to have 12 teams for that.
I've said it before, might as well steal UCF & USF while they're out there, move into not only the southeast neighbourhood, yet Florida recruiting backyards also.
Of course they'd never do that... I read they'd like UConn & probably Cincinnati (since they want a bit of that region & didn't bite on Louisville when they were available).

I second that. Either this prediction or something similar MUST happen someday.
Let's be honest. That way, there will be a great well-balanced schedule for all teams; when one team faces its other 5 division rivals twice (home & road), and faces the other 6 non-division teams once (3 home & 3 away, with home-and-home series alternating every 2 years) for a total of 16 games instead of 18 or even 22.
For the playoffs, instead of 6 spots, it should be 8 (2 division semifinals & 1 division finals per division). That way, there won't be any crossover divisional matches. Just pure East vs. West finals/series to dispute for the Grey Cup in every single season, as the way it should be.
(I posted this in another thread)...
The CFL needs more teams because fans can't take seriously such a small league.
Sure the Grey Cup is a fun national pride event... yet when they keep telling me 'the real season starts Labour Day' then why should I care for the previous 3 months?? Don't get me wrong, I love that the CFL plays all summer & ends in winter, it's cool.
I just don't get excited for the playoffs, which we should be, when 6 of 9 teams qualify.
I want at least 12 teams in the CFL.

What is Hate Watching for $600.
It's a shame that his Thursday-Friday early tee time US Open calls have gone so unnoticed. Good lord, usually when I say I'll mute the tv, it's in jest as a gag. Berman + golf = no.
The only thing he was decent at was NFL Primetime, because frankly, it was 80% highlights & only 20% colour. NBC killed that show, & NFL Gameday remained unbearable.
That's right Boom {throws up in mouth}
