Here's Iguodala in the wrong uniform and wrong number (he gave #4 to Chris Webber when Webber decided to come here and steal an absurd amount of money.) Iguodala played 8 years in Philadelphia, vs 4 total between Denver and GSW, but I don't think anyone would consider a Sixers uniform to be his "right" one.

It's not quite the same thing, but it could at least be argued that Roy Halladay's right uniform is a Phillies one, despite having a decade-long terriffic career in Toronto. He only played two meaningful seasons in Philadelphia, but that's where he had his perfect game and playoff no-hitter, a cy-young, increased national (US at least) exposure in general, and definitely more exposure in the playoffs. In fact if you google him, the images that show up are Phillies rather than Blue Jays. I'm just saying that I feel that way, just pointing out that there are circumstances where 12 years with a team doesn't make it a slam dunk that that's their "right" uniform.

I don't think it's much of a loss to pro sports for the Hurricanes to move, and if the only alternative is expansion then I'm all for it, but I'd rather them move for the benefit of a more stable / desirable hockey market than for fugging Las Vegas. The NFL could maybe work in Las Vegas just based on visiting fan road trips and stadium-based revenue (can't imagine TV deals being impacted positively by a team there) but the NHL has no shot.

Curious why no Reading Phillies? I guess Wilmington is closer, but despite being it's own separate city, I think sports fans there just hop on I-95 and go to Phillies games. It's a bit more of a challenge for people in the Reading area. It's a good minor-league affiliate because it's just far enough outside of the major league zone to have it's own strong-loyal fanbase, but close enough to where the people are fans of the ML team and have a vested interest in the players they get to see locally (as opposed to being a Phillies fan but rooting for Rockies prospects playing in your town.)

Yeah, support the bootleggers!

Keith Byars wearing #42. Had no idea this happened (also had no idea he was on the Patriots '96 Super Bowl team):

Warren Moon was a Chief? Yeah that's a weird one. The Vikings had several straight seasons where they had success with QBs better known for being on other teams (Moon, Cunningham, Jeff George) but in none of those cases would I consider their VIkings jersey to be "wrong" - just not their "right" jersey. Moon in KC? Wrong. Cunningham in DAL or BAL? Wrong. George in WAS (even though he was only in MIN for a season)? Wrong.

the forced log-out thing is happening more and more to me. It makes me sign in again every time I log on, and that signs me out everywhere else I've been, so basically I have to enter my username and password everytime I go to the site (unless it's from the same device as the previous time.)

wrong thread

For those of us who witnessed most of Ricky's career, his brief stint in Toronto is far from obscure. Especially to a Phillies fan. What is obscure is catching him in #14. As a young uni-number geek, it was quite a shocking sight to see him in anything other than 24 (I missed his pre-Yankees days.) I was actually disappointed when he acquired (purchased) #24 with the Jays. IMO, anything post '95 is a "wrong uniform" for him. Hell - I barely even remember him on most of those teams, with the exception of the Mets. Four separate stints in Oakland? How does that even happen? He was 34 before he became a vagabond. 34! Then played 10 more seasons!

That jersey has a drop shadow rather than up shadow.

For some reason these just started appearing to me today. Got a a nice surprise at work when scantily clad mail-order Russian women appeared on my screen with messages explaining why Slavic girls make the best lovers or something like that. Granted, they were attractive, but I'll be restricting my daytime use to mobile only (which means when I'm pooping) until this is resolved - which is probably a good thing, because even without the ads I probably shouldn't be on the site at work anyway!

Yours is not a very well thought-out opinion.

Sweet Bubs avatar. Surprised I never noticed that before.

Those uniforms would be a lot better without the gray. Pink, black, and white is all they need.

"NBA merchandizing types are constantly telling us it's the best in the league." LOL Wut?

They're all decent minor league logos, but not for NHL. The one they went with is the best of the bunch, but it's not a strong logo. TOo much blending of colors, not enough contrast, and nothing iconic at all. Plus, the corniness of having a hockey stick forced in to it.

Me too. THat stripe pattern is one of the most underrated uniform quirks of all time. Kind of a throwback element if you think about it.

Yeah the option is showing for me now too.

Also, ipad safari = no ipad chrome = no i do not have facebook linked to my profile in any way. I wonder if the people that have this option use fb?

Windows 7 x64 Operating System. Chrome = NO Firefox = NO IE = NO So I don't have the option either.

I"ve noticed that usually there's an ad that's fixed to a super wide width. It shrinks the entire screen to fit the whole ad in there. DOesn't happen too often, but it's annoying when it does. Usually refreshing loads a normal ad and everything is normal.

I have the same issue in iPhone with Safari and Chrome. If you start to quote a post but then abort, you're pretty much stuck because that quoted post is forever in the reply box. To make it worse, things like "select all" and other standard text shortcuts simply don't work in the mobile reply boxes. I have not seen it where it saves a quote from a post that I actually submitted. Submitting a post with a quote always clears that box out for me so I can continue posting. It's only when I abort a post... which believe it or not, is around 50% of the time (though probably only half of those contain quotes.)

Spectacor is the company that Ed Snider (Flyers owner) started (the name is similar to his other projects like "Spectrum", "Prism", and one other than I'm forgetting) and then merged with Comcast to form Comcast Spectacor, which technically owns the team (as opposed to Comcast proper, but that's essentially who's bankroling them now. So basically they, and probably several other teams, directly pay (or paid) the Flyers.

Problem: When in a thread, the notification that someone else has replied pops up and makes a chime. This isn't controlled via notification settings, it just happens when you have a thread open. No problems there - it's actually kind of handy. BUT, I use remote desktop through Citrix to do work things. WHen this notification happens, it freezes my session, even though RDC is a totally separate app from my browser (though technically it's launched through the Citrix browser plugin.) It's consistent - as soon as that chime occurs, my session is frozen, and most of the time requires killing a process and going through the whole logon process again, which might not even work due to how Citrix maintains session info on the backend (it doesn't know that the process has been killed on the front end.) It would appear that this is a browser / Citrix issue, rather than a board issue, but since it's not practical to adopt a new browser, is there any way to disable all notifications, including the "new reply" one?
