  1. Not assuming - the Colts released a statement saying that was why and apologizing to Microsoft and Tyreek (Because as you can imagine - Microsoft wasn't thrilled with being associated with that)
  2. Obviously this is only possible now because interleague play is common but - the Red Sox will become the first team in history to face the two reigning Cy Young winners on back to back nights Tarik Skubal tonight and Chris Sale tomorrow

    2025 NHL Offseason

    Kings have hired Ken Holland as GM
  4. The full Giants schedule has leaked (honestly I am assuming you can find every team's schedule at this point) Their bye isn't until Week 14. Looking at said schedule I figure they will be 2-11 going into the bye - it is that fucking brutal

  7. Okay - correcting myself here I forgot that the HOF had revamped the Vet Committees again Now its The Contemporary Baseball Era, consisting of the period from 1980 to present day. The Classic Baseball Era, consisting of the period prior to 1980 and including Negro Leagues and pre-Negro Leagues stars. The Contemporary Baseball Era will split into two separate ballots – one ballot to consider only players who made their greatest impact on the game since 1980, and another composite ballot consisting of managers, executives and umpires whose greatest contributions to the game have come since 1980. So technically the Black Sox should be with the Classic Baseball Era - but MLB only specifically referenced Rose getting added so who the fuck knows what is happening with them
  8. Vet's Committee - specifically 2027 they announced (the Classic Era) The Black Sox will all be a part of a different Era committee and I think that is a long fucking time away
  9. From the "you can't make this shit up" department Warner Brothers has announced that Max will go back to being HBO Max
  10. Matt Carpenter officially announced his retirement
  11. I know it was a meme before the season but it is a reality - if you are a starting pitcher for the Dodgers, you are doomed Roki Sasaki is the latest to go on IL - "right shoulder impingement" which is basically the same injury he had last year in Japan
  12. Ed and I were talking about this and most of the players who played with Rose were/are still very bitter about him betting on baseball. And - at least - the online sports writers are not pleased that Rose is eligible either (At least three different prominent writers have stories find their way via my feed so I am sure there are more) But that doesn't mean any of them will be on the committee - since they are plenty of folks who do things anonymously like not voting for Ichiro. And there aren't that many teammates of Rose still alive (I think we counted that there are 6 Hall of Famers who were a teammate of Rose who are still alive and two of them are because of Rose's half a season in Montreal) And - as we have seen with the various vet committees - all it takes is a Tony La Russa/Jerry Reinsdorf types to wrangle the group to get all their buddies elected
  13. It seems like the Vikings really really wanted to play in Ireland so they agreed to play the second game Also
  14. Minnesota officially becomes the first team to play back to back international games in different countries
  15. And Caps fans were enraged that Carolina was the favorite in this series Oops…
  16. And that should have been Miami’s pick Hoo boy - there are gonna be some spicy takes
  17. HA! The Wizards fell all the way to 6th
  18. Reportedly the Bears at Eagles will be one of the Black Friday games
  19. Evan Longoria is signing a one day contract with Tampa and is retiring as a Ray
  20. With the constant rumors that ESPN is going to acquire NFL Network as part of some sort of deal with the NFL - he might not be gone from NFL Network for that long
  21. It’s the Chiefs Apparently the Chargers choose to protect their games against less frequent visitors Teams can protect up to two homes games a season and LA plays the Steelers, Washington and Philly at home this year so they most likely picked two of those games
  22. Cowboys vs Eagles is officially the kickoff game Sept 4
  23. Like this - which is still wild to me
  24. I have to believe Black was like “Jesus - what does it take to get fired” and then immediately found the solution
