Didn’t realize today was Opening Day until a friend texted me this morning. I guess I’d heard and talked about the A’s home opener being against the Cubs that I assumed that was Opening Day.
-
They also haven’t had a player hit 30 HRs in a season since Bonds in 2004. Belt hit 29 in 2021 but got hurt and only played 97 games.
-
Decent chance Juju Watkins just blew her knee out.
-
SEC with 7 teams in the S16, breaking the record of the ACC in 2016.
-
I was confused for a few seconds looking at the schedule as I was trying to figure out what the second SEC-Big 10 matchup was besides Michigan-A&M. Then I remembered that UCLA is in the Big 10 now.
-
First time since 2017 that the top-4 seeds went 16-0 in the first round.
-
Let’s see if they can get over a point per minute for the full game.
-
Clemson has 11 points, is 1-14 from 3 and has 10 turnovers with 1 minute left in the half.
-
To be fair on the Dodgers part, he only started a playoff game because the Dodgers had multiple starters get hurt and Urias got arrested for domestic violence.
-
It's 11 p.m. local time in Tennessee and they just started the second half of an SEC tournament game. As if that wasn't bad enough, it's after midnight in New York and they're still playing a Big East tournament game. Have these things always run this late and I don't remember it?
-
The Sun Belt has the weirdest tournament format I’ve seen. There are 14 teams but only 4 teams play each round. So this year, for example, Marshall was the 11 seed so they played in the first round. They won 4 games before finally losing their fifth game, which was somehow only the quarterfinals. EDIT: Apparently the Marshall thing was on the women’s side but the bracket is the same.

No idea so I'll guess OleMissCub.

I don't really understand the trade. Is Vegas really going to compete in that division? I mean, I guess you have to do something when you hire Pete Carroll but Geno doesn't really move the needle much. As for Seattle, why not go for it more in what appears to be a winnable division? Are they going to blow it up now? Why would Macdonald have gone there just to have them blow it up a year later.

Don Mattingly played 14 seasons. In 1987, he hit 6 grand slams. In the other 13 seasons of his career, he hit 0 grand slams.
-
I'm sure this will just mean Man City will will the trophy but it's pretty cool that of the 9 teams remaining, only 1 has won a trophy in the last 29 seasons.

Fall of the house of Busch-er

According to Effectively Wild, here's a list of all the free agents the Cardinals signed to major league contracts this offseason: -
So two of Club Brugge, Lille, Aston Villa and Dortmund will make the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, two of Real (I assume they advance), Bayern, Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid will go out in the R16. Also, either Liverpool or Barcelona is going to get Benfica in the R16 and one of the Brugge group in the QF. The other one will get PSG in the R16. So depending on who avoids PSG, one of Liverpool/Barca should have a relatively easy path to the semis.

We need to use yards per game more. OJ in 1973 averaged 143 yards per game, which is 10 more than anyone else has done. Walter Payton also missed out on a 2K season due to only playing 14 games.

Burnley is in 3rd in the EFL Championship despite scoring only 39 goals in 33 games, which is tied for 12th out of 24 teams. How are they in third? Well they've allowed 9 goals this year. In case you don't feel like doing the math, that means that in Burnley's 33 league games this year there have been 48 goals total. They've had 11 games end 0-0 this year. They haven't allowed a goal in the league in 11 straight games, which dates back to Dec 26. They haven't allowed 2 goals in a game all year. The record for fewest goals allowed in a season in the Championship is 30.

Totally fair while the players are still playing, especially since it seems to happen on a week to week basis in the playoffs. When Mahomes is 38 or whatever and nearing the end? Sure.
-
Speaking of discourse I'm tired of hearing... Can we stop with the "well Tom Brady never got blown out in a Super Bowl" stuff and a reason why Mahomes will never be the GOAT. Sure, it's true that Brady's SB losses were all close. You know what's also true? Tom Brady lost by 19 to Joe Flacco in a game where Brady threw two picks and fumbled in the first quarter and the Pats trailed 24-0 after the first quarter. Tom Brady also lost to Joe Flacco twice, Jake Plummer, Mark Sanchez, Nick Foles and Ryan Tannehill in the playoffs. Brady is still the GOAT and Mahomes isn't anywhere close to it yet despite being on a trajectory to get there (and there's a decent chance he never gets there). But people act like Brady never laid an egg in a playoff game which is just wrong.
-
He was a fine QB. He’s just not a HOFer.
-
My favorite Eli fact is that the only category he ever led the league in for a season was interceptions, which he did 3 times. I realize that Eli is going to make the HOF because his last name is Manning, he won two SB and he played in New York. But Eli 100% should not be elected to the HOF. This isn’t a response to you, minny. The Eli HOF stuff out there bugs the crap out of me.
-
And it’s not like he has the excuse of having played in the AFC where it was Brady, Manning or Mahomes almost every year. After Rodgers in 2010, it was Eli, Kaep, Wilson twice, Newton, Ryan, Wentz/Foles, Goff, Garoppolo, Brady, Stafford and Hurts.

Heck of an ending for the final Merseyside Derby at Goodison.
