    Matchday 34- where it feels like the end of the season is coming

    City is unstoppable when they are at their A level. Brighton can't do anything besides get run over today.

    Chicago can't bear its crappy stadium any longer, moving to the 'burbs.

    Mud games have been gone for a long time. Snow/wind effects will be greatly diminished as long as all of the owners want the stadiums to be massive tribute to themselves. Local schools, roads or anything else a community can use be damned.

    Chicago can't bear its crappy stadium any longer, moving to the 'burbs.

    This is a downstream of the skyrocketed cost of these stadiums. These things aren't low cost Shaefer Stadium. If I live in that area, and the local government is being shake down for billions, the stadium cannot go dark for months every year. The days of stadiums being slabs of concrete with...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Do we credit the eye test for concluding that pitchers can be pro-rata more effective if they are treated as fungible automatons?

    It is high....it is far....John Sterling is gone from the Yankees broadcast booth

    One thing that has kind of been lost with time was how front and center Sterling and Kay were during the Yankees run in '96. Their radio calls were regularly played on SportsCenter. Sterling had been calling Yankees games for a while, but I don't remember "Yankees Win!" being so prominent before...

    2024 College Basketball Coaching Carousel

    I spent a month in Ft Smith, Arkansas due to the Air Force. Only state I have driven thru that had massive potholes on the highway. Even worse, the strip clubs were topless only.

    How Calipari arrived to the press conference. Questions had not begun. He just looks miserable. Heaven forbid he just retires.

    2023-2024 Women’s College Basketball

    Great chat back and forth. I don't have much to add besides this: Iowa committed 8 turnovers in the first quarter (16 total). In any sport, if I see a team play below their level for a segment of game, and their opponent does not take full advantage, it's an awful omen. It's safe to think that...

    ESPN Is Pathetic

    People online love the excitable Dookie, JJ Reddick; but it has been a big drop off from Doc in the booth.

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Only caught the opening, but I thought Felger and Mazz did a good job discussing Lucchino impact on the Red Sox and the city of Boston.

    Larry Lucchino dead at 78

    Anyone who doesn't recognize how Fenway has been upgraded since FSG took over either doesn't remember its state during Yawkey Trust or is being dishonest. Just something as simple as no longer being locked into whatever section of the park your ticket was located. Screens with the game on added...
