Ken Pomeroy takes on Curling: Because everything is messed up, the last NCAA basketball tournament was cancelled, and who knows what's going to happen with the upcoming NCAA season, Ken Pomeroy has turned his statistical forecasting mind towards a niche market: Curling

Surprising almost no one, the Chargers decide to move to LA.: There's yet to be a final announcement, but the Chargers are pretty much set to return to Los Angeles (they played their first season there before moving to San Diego) for the 2017 season, where they will join the Rams in their new stadium as lease-paying tenants in Inglewood, expected to be completed for the 2019 season. In the meantime, the Chargers are expected to play at either the Coliseum or a 27,000 seat facility in Carson, somewhat limiting their immediate ability to cash in.

Seattle is not who I would have guessed for the Padres, either. Neither would I have guessed that they'd put the Angels and Dodgers together instead of Giants-Dodgers. But I guess if the pairings are one NL team vs one AL team, sure, fine.

Alternate theory: the Padres did what they did before the trade deadline because they already knew what was coming, and in the future they'll trade Tatis off to get rid of his contract and re-sign Soto.

I don't know what the Padres would have done if they knew Tatis was going to be suspended, but it might well have been nothing. There's been talk of moving him to the outfield anyway, where he'd probably take the place of Trent Grisham in the starting lineup - whether he'd play center or Profar moves to center and Tatis plays left (now that rightfield is handled by Soto) is up for debate. But, they've got Bell at 1B, Cronenworth at 2B, Machado at 3B (he could also maybe move to short and have Drury play 3B?), and Ha-Seong Kim is doing perfectly fine filling in at SS for the time being (he's not all-world, but competent).

Was I summoned to this thread?

Here in Michigan, people are surprised Juwan Howard made an appearance at the Oscars.

Babies are pretty expensive these days, so coupons help. And apparently with kyte babies you can tie them to a string and they'll fly in the air?

Extremely small sample size, but the one UWisc grad, still residing in Wisconsin, I know is not a fan of DangeRuss and commentors on his facebook page aren't either.

Seems like a complimentary coney would be more appropriate for the Harbaugh decision, TBH.

Yup. Burrow also has a chance to become the first QB to win a Heisman, College Natty, and Super Bowl.
Leading me to wonder about what Gino Torretta is up to these days should be some kind of crime.

I, living in Michigan at the moment, don't see Harbaugh leaving UM, but I could very well be wrong.
I think Flores gets a new HC job before the end of the week.

I wouldn't have guessed that the Malice happened during my SpoFi tenure. Lotta n00bs in that old, old thread.

I know Va Tech hasn't won a title because every time UVA wins a title in anything, the UVA twitterverse posts a picture of an empty trophy case located in Blacksburg. This year: Lacrosse! 2nd title in a row with a 3-year championship reign!

I've heard that etymology for Rio Road, and always thought it was a little bit suspect given that 1) Rio Road happens to go right along the river, and 2) there's a town in the mountains in Virginia called Buena Vista, pronounced "byoo-nah vista". Plus, it's also signed as route 631.

It's also the first Orioles complete game no-hitter since Jim Palmer's in the late 1960's. That may be the longest streak of it's kind in the majors.
The Padres entered major league baseball in 1969 (same year as Palmer's no-no) and hadn't gotten a no-no until about a month ago.
