SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Cut to June of this year: rcade is completely decked out in green and white, wearing a comically oversized cowboy hat, wearing tons of beads, drunk on booze at 9 AM, waiting for the championship parade to roll down on some main street in Dallas.

Wait a minute. Nobody told me they would win something! That changes everything.

So, a typical Saturday on Lower Greenville...

Oh, nvm. Those don't happen very often.
I honestly don't know what to do with my fandom. My plan is to kick the can down the road and watch the rest of this season play out with detached coolness. It should be objectively fascinating.
But my back will be up against the wall when it come time to renew League Pass next season.

This week, you're in luck. You can momentarily divert your attention from your sorrows. The new emperor of Oceanfront Gaza says he's attending the Super Bowl and Travis Kelce says he thinks it's cool.
If the emperor is in the same luxury box with Chiefs' WAGs and fam, I'd pay Taylor to show up in a burqa.

Some Mavs fans, particularly those running big social media accounts, are starting to say "it's time to move on."
No, thanks. I've been a fan since day one but I can't support a team that gifted their 25-year-old home-grown all-world superstar to the Lakers in the most lopsided trade in NBA history. I am done done done. Can't see myself rooting for a team with these owners while Luka continues to Luka in L.A. It's too much.
