RIPPA

I should note that per all reporting - no team that has met with Soto so far has exchanged numbers with him. They have all been "getting to know you" meetings That is expected to change today since he meets with the Yankees

You do realize that was a joke tweet/account right?

This will be the last year the Astros play in Minute Maid Park Starting in 2025 - the stadium will be known as Daikin Park as the club and Daikin Comfort Technologies North America have reached agreement on a 15-year naming rights deal Apparently the naming rights deal with Minute Maid ended early but there aren't reports (yet) on why

Here is the 2nd trailer for this

Forgot I wanted to mention this but it made me chuckle when we were talking about the type of movies that were and were not selected for this I stumbled across Variety's Top 100 Horror Movies of all time list - https://variety.com/lists/best-horror-movies-of-all-time/ It is whatever you want to make of it but I was entertained that this year we managed to select 3 movies on the list (and the remake of another one)

Between the injury guarantee and not wanting to lose the locker room - it really was the only decision they can make

GENO MANIA~!

Oh how right I was Every single 2 win team that played, lost this week Thus the Giants dropped from 2nd to 5th

The Jags 46 point loss was their worst in franchise history EDIT - It was also Scorigami

Temple beat Florida Atlantic in OT The University rewarded HC Stan Drayton by firing him

NFL.com is reporting that the belief is that the Jags are going to fire Doug Pederson and GM Trent Baalke after today’s game against the Lions (Jacksonville is on bye next week)

BTW - just when you thought the saga of the Rays and Tampa was over https://www.tampabay.com/sports/2024/11/16/rays-stadium-deal-bonds-vote-pinellas-st-petersburg-tropicana-field-steinbrenner/ The story goes on to say that the Trop getting destroyed doesn't help as the commission seems hesitant to pay any money beyond the insurance money

Seahawks center Connor Williams has retired at the age of 27 The team said that Williams isn't injured but is retiring for "personal reasons" When Mike Macdonald was asked if there is any chance Williams will change his mind, Macdonald responded "I don't think so"

Boston College benched starting QB Thomas Castellanos earlier this week In turn, Castellanos has left the program

KC placed Harrison Butker on IR and signed Spencer Shrader off the Jets practice squad Since Shrader was technically the Jets starting kicker (they were playing roster games by having him on the practice squad and it burned them) so Anders Carlson would most likely become New York's 4th kicker in as many games

Washington no longer the greatest team ever

Connor McDavid became the 4th fastest player to 1000 points He reached it in 659th game He is behind Wayne Gretzky (424) Mario Lemieux (513) Mike Bossy (656) He is also the 4th youngest to reach the mark behind Gretzky, Lemieux and Steve Yzerman (Yzerman was basically two weeks younger than McDavid when he did it) He also sets up another milestone for someone as McDavid is the 99th player to hit 1000 points (The 100th player most likely will be Nathan MacKinnon. Brad Marchand is technically closer (942 to 932) but MacKinnon is scoring at a much higher clip than Marchand)

Hey! They can get the guy who just decommitted from FSU! Or wait five minutes and get the next guy who decommits from FSU

Also - ESPN's opening day doubleheader will be Brewers at Yankees Tigers at Dodgers

Since this is purely baseball related I will put it here Reportedly - the Yankees are bringing Dave Sims back to NY to be John Sterling's replacement

There is a meme going around regarding the fact that the Yankees will be getting about $15 million in revenue from the Rays using the stadium Basically it is along the lines of "They will be the Rays highest paid player" So just for the record...

Per reports - which don't have any details yet The Rays will play the 2025 in Steinbrenner Field

Back in Action Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz

The Madness All you need to know is it stars Colman Domingo

Jon Gruden has signed a multi-year deal with Barstool Sports
