a great grift to run if you already have inside knowledge you aren't getting a team.

but not pressuring Fuck John Fisher at any point in the last 10 years of his intentional mismanagement. I Hate These People. Will hate them slightly less if this somehow (i.e. Joe Lacob) leads to The Oakland Rays (the late great Ray Fosse's silhouette can be the new logo) but they're still all hateworthy pieces of shit.

Tony S. was always unfairly maligned for being compelled to call everything The Greatest Night In The History Of Our Sport, which I’ve always assumed was a Bischoff directive that may or may not have been screamed in his headset but I’m sure was no less clear a You Better Say This Or You’ll Be Fired scenario. Tony is a great Wrestling PBP man, should absolutely be talked about as an all timer (only Solie and Russel [edit: BEING, damn autocorrect] slam-dunk better) and if AEW accomplishes nothing else it’s allowed Schiavone to rebuild a reputation that never should have been torn down in the first place. Any team he’s in is at least a good team

Their first match was their best and it was all downhill from there? I’m fine with that.

Anti Woke Sports Entertainment Organization Metrics and Enterprises erroneously abbreviated as AWESOME I dunno, Vince's second crack at the XFL never actually got any further than writing "everyone must stand for the anthem" into the rulebook and some concept art helmets, it was only after he sold it off that they eventually started playing games again. I'll not be holding my breath on this one. EDIT: no, my bad, there were actual replica jerseys you could get ripped off on purchase. can't believe I forgot about that grift.

Ironically, in the age of expanded rosters and free agency that’s kinda a pretty good Real Sports build to have team rosters in flux like that

We also won’t be seeing BAL SAC jokes since Fuck John Fisher won’t be claiming a home city while the A’s scab it up in Sacramento

they could even put effort into putting it over as a machismo/hypercompetitive thing. Guys wanting to boast that "oh you almost got that guy with a 2.9 after that hold but I kicked out at 1 so don't bring that weak stuff to me" and so on. There's a bunch of ways to "keep score" and pro athletes are aware of just about all of them.

oh don't start teasing me with visions of Deebo and a 1 For Lawrence

don't mind me just contemplating Joe Montana Super Bowl Wins 5 thru 8 that would've existed if the modern rules had been around to castrate Dexter Manley, Leonard Marshall, and Richard Dent

how I learned about Olivia Netwon-John: Holly: I was in love once. A Sinclair ZX81. People said, no, Holly, she's not for you. She's cheap, she's stupid and she wouldn't load, well, not for me anyway. Lister: What are you trying to say, Hol? Holly: What I'm saying, Dave is, it's better to have loved and lost than to listen to an album by Olivia Newton-John. Cat: Why's that? Holly: Anything's better than to listen to an album by Olivia Newton-John.

and he's handsome. Someone in the NFL marketing dept. should be twisting themselves into knots trying to make a new Joe Namath out of this kid.

fuck it, the whole NFL is missing out on a story like that. Here's a proper babyface to stick in 87 commercials instead of trying to force us to like Rockey Miavia Seamus Roman Reigns Patrick Mahomes. Waffle House. The Jags could be THE SOUTH'S Team if they ran with that hard enough. He's actually a good QB, too, by the way.

not two years ago Lawrence was leading the greatest comeback in Jags history for a playoff win and treating fans to Waffle House after the game. That's real mythos, history and lore building stuff that a "new" team like the Jags is always going to be hard up to produce. Normally sports teams need to be over 100 years old to have that kind of organic aura about them, relics of when actual connection to the community could exist.. The QB leading fans on a Waffle House run is the closest you are ever going to get to Original Oakland Raiders shit, like going to Ricky's Sports Bar after the game and Phil Villapiano is already there pounding beers next to you, or even Marshawn Lynch taking BART home amongst the people from a Thursday Night game.] Lawrence should be a fucking folk hero down there to say nothing of the face of that organization. But of course they're dumb enough to make a rich get richer poor get poorer trade and give him to the fucking Steelers.

Classic Vince definition of literally everywhere that isn't the WWF as being "the shadows" like the ancient Greeks defining "barbarians" as "everyone who isn't us"
