Your Votes Are In And It's On To The Sweet 16 In Our Sports Logo Challenge
After ranking the primary logos of all 123 teams in the four major sports leagues in North America (1-40, 41-80, 81-123), it only made sense to put them all into a bracket and have a tournament. So, that’s just what we did....
No Opening Day, No Sports...My Center Won't Hold
Important disclaimer: I acknowledge this is far from the most consequential aspect of the shelter-at-home policies under which half of this country and many others around the world are enduring.

Boston Bruins Owner Jeremy Jacobs Is a Demon Lizard, Episode 3,476

You Know What's More Stupid Than Trump Saying The World Will Be Back To Normal In Three Weeks? Listening To Him
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says “we are not flattening the curve,” and talks about his state hitting peak cases of coronavirus in two to three weeks. The Tokyo Olympics, set to begin July 24, have been canceled. Seventeen states have ordered residents to “shelter in place,” with another 10 states is...
Quarantine TV: What Sports to Watch For Us Shut-Ins
This past Sunday — sandwiched somewhere in between DJ sets from Derrick “D Nice” Jones’ at his now epic, #FOMO-worthy “Home School” quarantine parties on Instagram Live — CBS did its best to try to help us fill the March Madness void. It aired two instant classics. The first game — Kansas’ 75-68 OT-...

Ever feel like ranking all 123 primary team logos from across the four major sports leagues?

The Flyers Are Finally Good. So Of Course The World Has To End.
Flyers Twitter is an odd place. I don’t really mix it up much with any other teams’ timelines, so I’m not sure if they’re all this crazy, but I can confidently say that we have some of the smartest and dumbest people on the planet in our little section of the Twittersphere. ...
Screw It. Now That Coronavirus Has Ruined Everything, Let's Expand All Playoffs To Include Every Single Freakin' Team.
It was Major League Baseball that got the conversation started about expanding playoffs, and the NFL got on board when it included additional wild-card teams in its proposed collective bargaining agreement. At the time, it seemed for all the world like a stupid cash grab that would dilute the specia...
Arena "Upgrade" Means Pathetic Legroom For Boston Fans
The Garden, home to the Bruins and Celtics, underwent a major renovation this summer that promised to “redefine” the fan experience.

Paul Fenton Can't Hurt You Anymore, Minnesota
The good news is that the Minnesota Wild were not too stupid or too stubborn to cut their losses, firing Paul Fenton after just a single season as GM. The bad news is that in that limited time he managed to worsen the roster, shit up the front office, and make moves that will hamstring the team for ...
We Regret To Inform You That The Oilers Made A Good Trade
Historically, when the Edmonton Oilers and “one for one” appear in the same sentence, bad things happen. Apocalyptic, hysterical, team-crippling things. Punchlines with years and years of mileage. This isn’t that. Peter Chiarelli is gone, and now, miraculously, so is Milan Lucic. Under just about an...
