    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    Late on this post (too), & I don't have access to the full article so not sure if it mentions it, but one thing about Gaelic football is that it is strictly amateur. So the opportunity to make some coin as a professional athlete in the NFL could explain the (at least, extra) motivation to make...

    2023-24 NHL Game Thread

    Kucherov notches his 100th assist in a season, joining Connor McDavid this season. McDavid became the 4th ever to do it, & Kucherov 5th. Only Gretzky (11x), Bobby Orr, & Mario Lemieux had ever done it prior.

    Jack Edwards to retire

    As a young kid, I was always fascinated with the Red Sox. As an out-of-towner just outside Houston, all I had was the papers & Baseball Tonight to see how the Sox were doing. Super young me thought that my fascination with the Red Sox should grow & 'it would be only fair' to include the Bruins...

    T20, List A, and ODIs, Oh My: The Cricket Thread (No, Not That Kind of Cricket)

    History made in Bengaluru. A few weeks back, Sunrisers Hyderabad broke the record for most runs with 277/3. Today, SRH broke their own record, going 287/3, with a century from Travis Head 102(41), & a half-century from Heinrich Klaasen 67(31). Their opponent, RCB, have struggled in bowling all...

    Some updates (mostly IPL): First, in the non-IPL category, Nepalese batsman Dipendra Singh Airee achieved an extremely rare feat: hitting 6 6s in an over. This was in the final over against Qatar. Nepal will be playing in the 2nd T20I World Cup appearance (2014) later this summer. View...

    MLB Mount Rushmore

    Great topic idea! I think mine would be: Babe Ruth Jackie Robinson Roberto Clemente Ichiro You have a diverse group up there. An IF, an OF, a P (yes, I'm cheating), & another OF. I'd love to put Willie Mays on there, & Pedro, but it is tough with only 4 spots.

    AFL: the other football. No, the OTHER Football. No…

    I know we're now firmly into the 2024 Premiership, but looks like my personal workaround to view the matches on the big screen TV has now disappeared, along with other people around the world. Tasmania got their colours & name in March 2024, and will be the Tasmania Devils. Unfortunately their...

    2024 NFL Draft: Patriots Discussion

    What is the deal with Fisher? IIRC he was a top T prospect for the 2024 Draft shortly after the 2023 Draft concluded. Is it just that Joe Alt looks like a future superstar at the position? Maybe the coaching & seeing Alt in practice can help Fisher's NFL prospective career.

    8 matches into the IPL & we already have some new records. Sunrisers Hyderabad played Mumbai Indians in Hyderabad. After MI won the toss, they elected to field. They gave the ball to 17YO South African pace bowler Kwena Maphaka to open, making his debut. What resulted next was an onslaught of...

    PSL's final came out to be Multan 159/9 & Islamabad 163/8. The final came down to the very last ball; scores were level at that point & Multan brought all fielders in for an attempt at a quick run out, or that a wicket would be bowled. Hunain Shah hit the gap near backward point & it rolled all...
