I'm a +1 on not liking Bryce Young. I feel like he has draft bust written all over him. I like the Bears pick. Protect Justin Fields at all costs. The house band at the draft was starting to get real annoying.
-
Matt Nagy. Ted Phillips. Old Lady McCaskey. I could go on.

Battlehawks miss out on the playoffs on a tiebreaker to Seattle. It made for an interesting Week 10 with St Louis trying to run up the score on Orlando. So it’s Seattle and DC in the North, Houston and Arlington in the South. As for the USFL, even with a half hub model, they can’t draw flies. The games so far from what I have seen are even bigger mismatches than the XFL so far.

Aaron might be better than Tua. If you’re a Tua Stan, your biggest fear should be if he ends up as Chris Chandler 2.0 aka Crystal Chandelier. I’m glad he can’t directly hurt my Bears anymore.

White Sox with fantastic baseball IQ tonight: they intentionally walked Wander Franco to pitch to Randy Arozarena in the bottom of the 10th, who drove in all three Rays runs up to that point. What happened? Walk off RBI single, Rays win.

On the bright side, come 2050, the A’s will be extorting Vegas to build them yet another new stadium because reasons, and they’ll threaten to move somewhere else if they don’t get their way.

Chelsea couldn't have brought in a worse replacement for Graham Potter than Fat Frank. Juventus' Serie A 15 point deduction has been revoked, so they're now 3rd for a Scudetto.

Philadelphia Union get the job done in Guadalajara vs Atlas in ConcaChampions. They'll face LAFC in the semis. Atlas fans lost their composure and the infamous chant was let out on more than one occasion towards the end of the match.

Dave Meltzer is going to rebrand his newsletter as the Endeavour Newsletter.

I'm all for Roman Reigns making Connor McGregor acknowledge him.
-
At least it's not Vince and Prince bin Salman.

CNBC is reporting UFC's parent company Endeavour will buy WWE, merging it with UFC. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/02/wwe-ufc-endeavor-deal.html

I'll echo the sentiment of people that got teary eyed with Cena's entrance with the Make A Wish kids honor guard. I did too. Rey's mask felt current day Muta esque with the puffiness. Dom was such a shithead heel. Dom vs Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico might be something. Michael Cole flat out name dropping El Generico was interesting.

Night 1 was pretty damn good. Charlotte/Rhea was a fucking WAR. Sami/KO vs Usos was the right call to main event Night 1.
-
I was flabbergasted every time I saw Jerry Manuel in the Team USA dugout.
-
Health problems aside, would Terry Francona have been the best pick to manage Team USA if we were really going to take this seriously?
-
The only thing missing from that was LARIATOOOOOOOOOOOO! And Keith Olbermann wants to tell me the WBC is meaningless.
-
USA/Japan tomorrow night
-
Sac fly hit at Arozarena to get Japan to 5-4. The drama missing last night is here in spades.
-
Our first Cuban defector of the World Baseball Classic: bullpen catcher Ivan Prieto. Edit: I remember the Orioles vs Cuba in the late 90s and the Rays/Cuba in 2016 being real fun atmospheres and experiences.
-
There might have been another fan or fans invading the field in that bottom of the 8th, but no acknowledgment of it.
-
Maybe not past him, but there’s some that might want to hit him with a baseball instead. Or forced to have the opinion they need to throw a baseball at Trae.
-
Billy Corgan is going to make Tyrus drop the NWA World Heavyweight title to Trae and become Sean Hannity’s favorite wrestler/baseball player. edit: “viva Cuba libre” chants were momentarily heard on the Cuban Radio Rebelde feed.
-
Zombie Castro might rise from the dead and haunt the dreams of the non-defectors tonight. edit: there’s no mercy rule in the knockout stages. This could get REAL ugly.
-
The pitching on the island that hasn’t already defected is in rough shape. Very few guys can throw 90+ and their control isn’t the best. Cuban leagues haven’t even played night games since before COVID because the current economic situation. The inaugural Cuban Elite League was kind of a disaster: the league started late because the teams didn’t get their uniforms on time. Fan interest wasn’t that great either. edit: is USA going to mercy rule Cuba?
