Wish I could see some of these games. Every time I try CFL+ I'm told the stream is not allowed in the U.S.

CBS Sports Network has a lot of the games if that's available where you are (I've seen quite a few because of them)

RIP Jim Brown

I've heard and read many times that his true passion was lacrosse. I wonder if he was just finishing up at Syracuse now (as a 20/21 year old) if he would still choose the NFL? I think he probably would have, with the NFL's popularity and the money difference, but he may have become the first 2 sport athlete where it was football and lacrosse. Would have been a huge boost to Major League Lacrosse, that's for sure.

Pat McAfee Talks Himself Into Timeslot on ESPN

That was a pretty good breakdown.

My concern for McAfee is how long before he says something that upsets the ESPN brass? Sure he has total control right now, but at some point there will be a standoff over something he says. Wouldn't be surprised that this agreement only last 2 or 3 years (which maybe McAfee already knows that and is ok with that).

In the meantime, both ESPN and McAfee get to take advantage of what the other has to offer.

Sports Illustrated Scribe John Underwood Dies

.

I had totally forgotten about that book (The Death of an American Game). I had it way back when. The cover had a football with an American flag draped over it. Remember getting it because it was advertised in Sports Illustrated (which I was in the middle of a 30 plus year subscription at the time) Couldn't tell you anything more than that, though, as it's been almost 45 years since I read it/lol.

Paolo Banchero Wins NBA Rookie of the Year

I'd love to have any input on this, but I somehow missed every one of Orlando's nationally televised game this year.

Even though, it's not great, it's still a lot better than the 70s and early 80s, where it was the Lakers, Celtics, and Sixers. That's it, until the Pistons and Bulls joined in. Teams went years without being on TV.

Boston Bruins Break Record for Single-Season Wins

They're gonna get swept out of the first round. Sell *everything* that you own, put it all into crypto then put that into Vegas. Guaranteed that someone will make a ton of money

As of right now that would be the Islanders (though, that could change in the last two games to Florida or Pittsburgh). Since that's my favorite team, I would be good with that/lol. It would be deja vu to the 2019 season when the mighty Columbus Blue Jackets swept the Lightening after the Lightening tied the Red Wings mark for most victories. So, you're saying there's a chance...
