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.

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?
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 winterThe Monkey Paw didn't just curl, it gave fans the finger

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.”

If this was baseball, someone on the other team is getting drilled right in the head and everyone would have expected it
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

I am sorry but Brandon Scherff not knocking him the fuck out is bullshit
Dude is still taunting after knocking out your starting QB - beat him with your helmet
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.

Texans late hit Trevor Lawrence knocking him out and all hell fucking broke loose
Needs to be a season long suspension.
video of the hit:

scary as fuck moment as Fiorentina collapses on the pitch and was unconscious.
Thanksfully, he's breathing on his own and has regained consciousness

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.

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

Not exactly true about the first mid-season coaching change. It happened once before, in 1942..because owner/Head Coach George Halas left the team to serve in the US Navy

There is some stinky stinky football being played right now

File under Life Comes at you fast:
87' Shaktar 2-0 PSV
95' Shaktar 2-3 PSV
what's even crazier? 3 USMNT goals to win it (two from Tillman, and the winner in the 95th from Pepi)

Dodgers ain't standing pat: Snell: 5/182.
Heyman had a tweet on the rotation for the Dodgers next season:
Dodgers rotation: Snell, Yamamoto, Ohtani (once available), Glasnow, Kershaw (presumably), May, Gonsolin, Miller, more. Also favored for Sasaki.

First three quarters: 19 points.
Final quarter: 41 Points

whoever designed those LED Light Tower shows after a team scores needs some kind of punishment (Fenway has it, but especially the Auburn-Texas A&M game, it gives me a migraine)

it's like Citeh is doing the Flair "You can't fire me, I Quit! But you're going to fight me anyway!"

And the GM of the Jets is the next one to be fired. I am sure this is the firing that will change everything for the Jets
Woody Johnson: I've fired my coach, I've fired my GM, there's only one more person I can fire to get this team to actually play well!
Flunky: Your QB?
Woody Johnson: NO! NOT THAT! MYSELF! I HAVE TO FIRE MYSELF!
((truth be told, they'd probably be a bit better off if of ol' Woodie DID fire himself and just signed the team over to Discount Double-Check Rogers)

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
