And a month later.. couple interesting things that just came to mind about the england-New Zealand series One: BazBall is still alive and well. "England are up 400 runs in their second innings with six wickets remaining near the end of the day, hope they left enough time to bowl New Zealand out again"..then to realize it's DAY FREAKING TWO of the test! Two: Nice hattrick to end the New Zealand innings, I'd throw him out there again first ball, just for the extra bit of jangling nerves from the opening batsman

Things that have never happened in history, until now. A minor league player has been suspended one game... for shooting teddy bears over the glass into the crowd. No, the edible I took for pain management isn't causing hallucinations, this is an actual story. A minor league team has a teddy bear toss, all the fans are encouraged to bring one (or more) teddy bears, and when the home team scores its first goal, the fans throw all the teddy bears on the ice, the bears are then collected and given to charity. He lifted three of them over the glass back into the crowd while the cleanup was happening. https://www.sportsnet.ca/ohl/article/top-nhl-draft-prospect-michael-misa-suspended-for-actions-on-teddy-bear-night/

I want to grab Red Sox fandom by the collective scruff of their neck and tell them that none of this press shit really matters. It's manipulating fans. Red Sox Spin: "Red Sox want meeting with Boras to set once and for all a "Deal gets done" price". Why would Boras do anything like this? If he names a price and it gets done, then how much more could he have received by playing it off more? Boras Spin: "Insider for MLB team says his team is favorite." This works as two things for Boras, one, it motivates other teams to up the bid because their fans will put pressure on them, and it puts pressure on that team's fans.. after all, you don't want to be the team that was THIS close to signing a generational piece and left out, right? I've been down on the red sox spending, but I don't think you can blame them if Soto falls through.. it's not like OOTP or MLB the Show, where you give them a number, they say yes, it's over. There are living, breathing people on the other side, and more factors than just years/$$$. You don't give a more than $600 million offer if you're not serious about spending. What I DO want from the Red Sox is no matter how the Soto sweepstakes ends, they have an idea on the next steps and pivot to them immediately. Pitching is still the #1 need. (and at risk of getting dogpiled, I said it last year with Ohtani, but it just boggles my mind we're in the $700 million era, and my reflexive action is to say "We could get more from 3 $233 million players than one $700 million player", but that's just my view.

Are we using this thread for conference championship/bowl season talk? https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42763113/alabama-crimson-tide-land-no-11-cfp-rankings They're fucking getting in.. probably win the whole thing *sighs*

Where's the Larry David gif when I need it. Red Sox Fans: I wish we would spend on free agents this winter The Monkey Paw didn't just curl, it gave fans the finger (Chapman, 1/10.5)

3 games for the late hit (and taunting) The suspension letter doesn't hold back either: From NFL VP of Football Operations Jon Runyan’s letter to Azeez Al-Shaair: “Your lack of sportsmanship and respect for the game of football and all those who play, coach, and enjoy watching it, is troubling and does not reflect the core values of the NFL.”

Hockey would have the team calling up all their goons from the minors, and the second he stepped out on the ice, they'd all go for him.. the first to get him would beat him (and probably get thrown out of the game), the rest would wait until the next time he steps on the ice, rinse and repeat. Something like this: https://youtu.be/h-6NEfAoNVs?si=ZMNTtagaliSvi90w

The Patriots had five offensive holding penalties.. in the first half.

That's why Season long, not only the dirty ass play, inciting a melee, continuing to incite it afterwards. We're lucky we didn't get a full fledged footbrawl.

Needs to be a season long suspension. video of the hit: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1863298337757110427

scary as fuck moment as Fiorentina collapses on the pitch and was unconscious. Thanksfully, he's breathing on his own and has regained consciousness https://x.com/brfootball/status/1863291343386349824

Aaron Rogers just had something like 12 seconds to throw after scrambling across the field, and then the pass is pretty much dropped, sums up the Jets season They did score on the next play though (but the XP was blocked, to continue the Jets-ing)

Normally I'd say a team that hasn't won in 7 games in all competitions and is 11 points behind the leader on December 1st is "stick a fork in them, they're done" But this is Citeh, so, not yet.

The Athletic's system indicates that Bama still has about a 30% chance of making the playoffs. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5701128/2024/12/01/college-football-playoff-projections-odds/

this is somehow going to end up with Alabama back in, isn't it?
