Red Comet

Watson makes the NFL look bad off the field. Ridley made it look bad on the field and if the NFL lets that slide, it would lead to more questions about the authenticity of what is happening on the field. So even though the alleged assaulter/rapist gets off easier because despite how disgusting his actions are, it doesn’t effect how people would view the game itself as it is on the field.

Define the word “is” then.

The (Gen)X Games are more entertainment to me than a sport.

I see the draft as like an apprenticeship. Before you get paid the big money, you need to put in the work to show that you’re worth that paycheck that you believe you’re worth. Considering that in the NFL’s case, the player’s union voted to cap rookie contracts, it seems the veterans see it the same way. Also, fixing things that aren’t broken should be the second definition of insanity IMHO.

Yeah, get rid of about 8-10 teams.

LA is Ground Zero (pun intended) for the kind of people that would flip their lid over a name like the Wildfire. If the market isn’t receptive to a name, it doesn’t matter how cool it might be, don’t use it.

Not really into individual sports and I honestly could not give a flying flip about soccer outside the World Cup or basketball outside of March Madness.

Already got a name for it: NILionaires

And you know? As I get older, I don't really feel like I have the time to invest in fandom like I did as a teenager or a young college student. I don't have time to watch the Royals attempt to play wiffleball anymore. I don't have time to watch Mizzou be mediocre anymore. Hell, I barely have time to watch the Chiefs anymore unless it's a big game. Can't tell you how many times I've fallen asleep watching teams like the Jets or the [Redacted]/Football Team/Commanders play in the past few years and those are games involving my team too. At this point, the only time I'm watching football and the Chiefs aren't involved is usually involving the Bills or Chargers or other teams that are actually a threat to the Chiefs.

Well damn, I remember when he was the local ABC affiliate’s sports guy. I guess he’s about to matriculate to the afterlife.

No, no, no. The Royals seem to be decent as of late but that rough beginning just killed them. If it was up to me, I’d go back to just one wild card. As for what else I don’t miss, I really don’t miss Kemper Arena. Went to a Brigade game in 2006 and I swear I saw bats flying around the rafters.

If you build the projectors, they will come is the idea, I guess

All of the above reasons are why I think a bunch of sportswriters who grew up in New York calling the 50s the Golden Age of Baseball is about as legit as the (at the time) St. Louis based Sporting News calling the Cardinals the Best Fans In Baseball.

Marshawn Lynch goes Beast Mode on some Las Vegas sidewalks. Gets arrested for a DUI.

The very concept of an alt helmet/uniform for the Chiefs should be burned in a dumpster aside from gray face masks and a bigger arrowhead on the helmet like they had during the Len Dawson era. I don’t even like the red top and red pants look they have now much less any concept some Twitter artist came up with.

Saw that. Nein, nein, nein, nein, nein! I swear, if they walk out in a black or yellow alt uniform, I am going to hurl at the sight of it. Kansas City Star released a bunch of fan concepts of an alt helmet. All of them look like sheiße.

I gotta say, I love Josh Allen’s sense of humor here. Talented and funny? Buffalo has a real winner.

They’ll talk about whatever their boss demands they talk about. If the ratings show some interest in this league that’s basically “True XFL hasn’t been tried”, then that’s what ESPN will talk about.

Punishment is meted out based on talent and fan interest. Simple as.

Whit Merrifield gets vaccinated for a contender like he said he would. Stupid thing to say, but I honestly don’t blame his lack of a belief in the Royals. After all, they seem to be committed to winning as much as the Reds, A’s and Nationals are.

Do they still have those hotel suites that can be seen from the stadium? If they do, they should call it the base rounding suite.

Seems like the lady with a hairline that’s receded more than my Dad’s is doing as good of a job as she can to try and keep the team but the increasing crime around Soldier Field really is not helping. Businesses and fans have been complaining more than usual lately but that’s just how things roll, I guess. That and not many teams are going to pass up a new stadium if the opportunity arises. Okay, real talk, Lori Lightfoot looks she grew up in Innsmouth.

Yeah, I think the Blast was an unfortunate accident, not some plot to terrorize African-Americans.

Yeah, but I’d say the Birmingham Blast being seen as potentially being a reference to a racist terrorist attack in the city it happened should’ve been brought up ASAP. I know that we’ve had teams like the Atlanta Flames and the New York Jets but that kinda went too far. As far as the Maniax? If they didn’t get rid of the Hitmen or Enforcers mascot, I don’t think they’d get rid of that.

Apparently it was offensive to the mentally ill. As someone who is, I’m offended that people think a headshot of a cartoon lunatic would send me into a frothing rage. Or that fans in straitjackets is somehow offensive to me. I’m crazy, not thin skinned.
