Sports Bio

Fan of pro teams from Cincinnati, vividly remember the cold bowl against Fouts' Chargers, and hope I live to see some glory soon. Still haven't gotten over the Whale leaving Hartford. Jumped squarely onto the NJ Devils bandwagon at that point, but just love all things hockey.

NHL Third Jerseys for 2018-19: Several teams unveiled new third jerseys for the upcoming NHL season. The Avs tip a cap to the old time Rockies, Flyers go two-tone (no word on the return of the Cooperall pants), the Devils bring back the Green and Red, and at the risk of offering an opinion on a FPP, the 'Canes win.

So...About that Serena Cartoon: It sure feels like this is something that would have been discussed at length a few years back on SpoFi. What does the hive mind here think? Is it racist as hell, a cultural phenomenon, or a bit of both?

SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle

too often the sequence becomes a lead off double being followed by 2 strikeouts and an easy fly ball

Welcome to Cincinnati! Would you like a 3- 4- or 5-way?

And here comes the lawsuit...

I guess in some ways, this is better than just being the Buttfumble guy?

I'm not certain what legal grounds they might have to pursue Fox. Obviously, you go after the party with the deepest pockets, and who is most likely to settle, but if I was Fox, I'd fight this tooth and nail. I guess Sanchez was only in town as part of his broadcasting job, but (i) without being certain of the circumstances, he wasn't at the location of the fight as part of his job; and (ii) his being drunk should negate any connection to being "at work" unless Fox was feeding him booze, and it likely also voids any insurance policy they have on him.

For the Love of God Stop Betting Parlays

When I was in the casino biz, I would make one parlay every week. My brother and I would each put in $5, and we'd bet the winner of the Monday Night Football game and the over/under, just to keep us engaged. Even that simple 2-leg parlay was a consistent loser; I think we won maybe 20% of the time.

Here I go sinking like a stone. Reds eliminated from MLB playoffs, Burrow injured and the Bengals getting stomped. All seems right with the world.

The Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy’s Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf

We really live in a shitty timeline. We are overrun by shitheel misogynistic bros who have been emboldened by high profile influencers and many of our "leaders" to show their entire ass gleefully at every opportunity.

Report: Wild's Kirill Kaprizov rejects NHL-record contract offer

The fact that a player who is only arguably among the top 10 in the game today turned down the opportunity to be the highest paid hockey player ever is bizarre. He's no McDavid, Kuch, or MacKinnon.

How the hell did I win this thing once? Generally, I am just the comic relief, careening into open doors and tripping down open elevator shafts.

NoMich, I'm willing to bet that Monday's shellacking sold quite a bit of Horned Frogs merch.

He Who Controls the Ice Controls the Universe

We see the same shit - but to a far lesser degree - here in Reno. We have one rink owned by a nonprofit. Parents who disagree with coaching and league management decisions, or who want their kids to level up, are forced to travel to South Tahoe (1+ hour each way), Roseville, CA (~2 hours) or Vacaville, CA (~2.5 hours). When they do that, they are blocked from attending in-house hockey academies and from getting ice time for private lessons. Of course, our rink does it out of territoriality rather than pure cynical profit motive.
