  1. The schedule is insane. There’s less than a month from the end of the Stanley Cup Finals to opening night. Free agency is going to be complete madness.
  2. I agree, it’s funny that people think the Cleveland Indians or Atlanta Braves team names offend anything approaching a majority of Native Americans. No, it’s funny that you continue to defend the use of an ethnic group as a team mascot
  3. https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/02/04/native-mascots-survey/
  4. Changing the Indians and Braves seems silly. Something like 90% of Native Americans aren't even offended by Redskins Citing the poll where they asked 500 Native Americans? Oof
  5. Now the Cleveland Indians are discussing a name change. Braves next....maybe the Blackhawks?
  6. BREAKING: In an unprecedented merger with the Cincinnati major league baseball team, the Washington Redskins are changing their name to the Washington Reds Kins
  7. To what?
  8. https://mobile.twitter.com/DexterFowler/status/1278420394009980929
  9. The GM’s of the lottery teams start at the 50 yard line of the Cowboy’s stadium. The 8 lottery pick ping pong balls are hidden under 8 random seats in the stadium. The GMs will either find the picks or die of a heart attack
  10. There's no way this season makes it to the finish line, right?
  11. I e-mailed them a few weeks ago for a refund and received a response within minutes and the refund a few days later. I don't want a full refund, I just don't want to pay for a full season when we're getting half a season
  12. Sorry if this was mentioned before, but are they protesting mlb.tv subscriptions? Didn’t we get charged full price back in February?
  13. Sorry I haven't been refreshing my browser every 5 minutes due to the pandemic and life and such things. I haven't been on here as much as I used to lately due to circumstances. Was trying to just be a part of the conversation, I guess. My bad. How dare you
  14. Leaking health info to the press is a serious HIPAA violation
  15. I agree, it was pretty mediocre. We were spoiled by The Lat Dance. We’re Ray Langford and Steve Trachsel really the only two players they interviewed?
  16. The Cardinals groundkeeper dude is such a chud.
  17. How quickly did the BFIB turn on him?
  18. There's no beyond. That's it. I'll rephrase: what are the owners' STATED reasons?
  19. I admittedly haven't followed these negotiations closely, so can someone summarize why the owners are insisting on just a percentage of the pro-rated salaries (beyond blind greed)?
  20. I'm clarifying, because I know jack and horsefeathers about the draft and signings and how it all works. Which is fine, especially in this weird year, but by the time you asked there were about 20 posts talking about where he would slot in to our system, how he is going to rank, etc. with minimal to no discussion on signability concerns. Mostly just giving you a hard time, but....come on, pick up some context. Raisin's response is what threw me (and he has since clarified)
  21. 0% chance he signs, or 0% chance he opts for college? Derwood, read the room. I'm clarifying, because I know jack and horsefeathers about the draft and signings and how it all works.
  22. The normal % of most prep kids picked in the 1st round, close to 0%. 0% chance he signs, or 0% chance he opts for college?
  23. MLB Network said he was committed to Oklahoma. What are the chances he signs?
  24. He's asking how there are only 4 black head coaches in the league. Most head coaches work their way through the coaching ranks under other head coaches, and Shanahan only has 8 black assistant coaches on his staff. My point is that he can help by giving more non-white candidates opportunities on his own staff you think a staff being 36% black has a lack of representation? I'm saying that Kyle can help solve the problem by giving more non-white coaches a chance to work their way up the coaching ranks. And yes, I think 36% is a lack of representation when more than 36% of the players are black.
