  1. Yeah, it'd be better if they kept Alomar's name on it with number.
  2. RT @TorrensJonathan: Know who the movie #AmericanSniper isn't based on? Phil Kessel. #TMLtalk

  3. I googled this to be sure you were saying what I think you were saying. That his number (and not name) was on his retired number banner...and it is. I actually like that. However, that banner is kinda ugly...fitting in the HOF and team logos makes it far too big to just have the number. It almost needs a "watermark" photo or something. I wish they'd just use the "12" from his ceremony.I actually like just seeing the retired number and no name. For one, I just think the below looks really good...They have similar numbers at Fenway and I suspect some other places. Second, it's kinda a conversation starter. "Hey dad, what are those numbers for?" "Why does the 42 look different?" "Who wore number 29?" And in this day and age, it's pretty easy to look up. The team has a "Level of Ecxellence" for honoured players along the 500 Level ring. I couldn't fing a pic of Alomar's, but while the other players have just their names, he has both his name and number. Here's the #12 hanging on a giant flag, with the HOF logo no less. Gillick's is adjacent (I couldn't find a full image), with his name on it, & he is also in the HOF, inducted the same year as Alomar. Guess if you're a GM without a number, your name gets to be on the banner. As for the Level of Excellence, I love it. I like seeing the worthy & notable player names, guys who were core to their eras & successful. Not everyone will be a HOFer, yet dozens of guys are worthy of club honour in the home park. Alas, I grew up with the 'honoured numbers' because of the Leafs... Toronto teams really made it feel secondary that numbers weren't being immortalized while pretty much every single other franchise was doing it.

  11. ...20mins later & my body still feels beaten like having run marathon in the f'n snow #Patriots ...hope Andy & Peyton can wreck each other.

  12. RT @BillSimmons: That was the 2nd most exciting non-SB Patriots playoff win ever ... Only trails the Snow Game vs. Oakland in Jan. 2002.

  13. RT @msdanifernandez: His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There's vomit on his sweater already. WebMD: TYPHOID FEVER

  14. I prefer fully painted/wordmarked/logo'd endzones, like Madden '94! Enough with the retro chalk lined &/or blase wordmarks. NBA floors are unique & interesting to look at... time for the NFL & NCAA to step up. I know that Notre Dame has a hard-on for its sexy old school chalk lined endzones... how very hipster of them.
  15. Seeing as ppls quotes aren't appearing in my replies... please someone explain that for me... LA would definitely have more 'parties &/or other functions' than most other locales. Keep in mind it's a media capital of N.America, the SB is in effect a 2 week event, tons of easy access celebs & infrastructure, & also many many tourists. There are reasons the NFL probably isn't going back to Jacksonville FL even if it is decent SB weather.
  16. ...Randy Carlyle gets the best new gift of 2015- no longer coaching a bunch of babies. When #Leafs listened, they succeeded...& vice versa.

  17. At least St. Louis had a SB champion team to root for, they'll always have that.
  18. RT @Sassafrantz: Read an entire thread of 3 guys talking about football. I've never been so horny and confused at the same time.
