unclevlad Posted February 1, 2024 Report Posted February 1, 2024 Me too. Brain fart on that last one. In other news, the MLB and the clubs will replace the Jackie Robinson statue vandalized in KC, as noted here earlier this week. And Boise State beats UNM in men's basketball...in The Pit, no less. UNM was #19, but rankings this year are nothing more than big fat targets. And in ABQ...most luscious! The Mountain West currently has 5 teams projected in the NCAA tournament. The Pac 12 and ACC have only 3 each. Quote
Pariah Posted February 1, 2024 Author Report Posted February 1, 2024 Last I checked, the WCC is currently projected to place only one team in the Big Dance ... and it's not Gonzaga. Quote
Pariah Posted February 2, 2024 Author Report Posted February 2, 2024 Okay, newest sports trivia question: Identify the five major North American sports teams whose logos are on fire. Quote
death tribble Posted February 2, 2024 Report Posted February 2, 2024 I got four of them. One is in the NFL, two are in the NBA, one is in the NHL but none in baseball that I could see, Quote
Pariah Posted February 3, 2024 Author Report Posted February 3, 2024 The fifth one is also in the NFL. Quote
unclevlad Posted February 3, 2024 Report Posted February 3, 2024 Titans is one, but I don't see the other, either. If you're thinking the Dolphin logo? That's not fire, it's a sun disk. Quote
death tribble Posted February 3, 2024 Report Posted February 3, 2024 I could see the point. I side with unclevlad on this issue. And the one American sport that I follow is the NFL, not the others. Quote

In any case, the five from the source from which I got the question are: Miami Heat Phoenix Suns Calgary Flames Tennessee Titans Miami Dolphins Quote

Only the worst of racists would have a problem with Jackie Robinson. The Color Bar failed for a reason. I am utterly disgusted by this act. On 1/24/2024 at 5:42 PM, unclevlad said: Oh dear. Ugly story coming out from hockey. https://apnews.com/article/hockey-canada-sexual-assault-leave-19fd7216d95efcd2a753911bc05e0dbb If police are going to press charges...this long after the fact, it makes me think they have a good body of evidence. One of the players involved was the Philadelphia Flyers' ace goalie Carter Hart. The team might have had an inkling of what was about to go down, as they were trying to trade him just before this all came down. Now they will probably have to release Hart and get nothing in exchange -- which is a very bad thing for a pro team. If Hart and the did what they are accused of, they deserve prison. Quote

And considering Florida is the Sunshine State, it's much more sensible. Even if it's the Kryptonian sun. We'll forgive you...but only if you find the source and slap the person around for a terrible question. I'm sure Our Fuzziness Who Art In England has a spare cat-o-nine-tails he can loan you. Quote

Michael Hopcroft Posted February 4, 2024 Report Posted February 4, 2024 F1 legend Lewis Hamilton will be changing teams at the end of the upcoming season. The long-time Mercedes driver has signed a prospective deal with archrival Ferrari, in hopes that with their support he can resume his on-track rivalry with Max Verstappen -- who had the strongest point-production season of anyone in F1. As far as I heard, Red Bull is standing pat with Verstappen and Sergio Perez as their drivers. Quote
unclevlad Posted February 4, 2024 Report Posted February 4, 2024 THE HOTTEST TICKET in Nebraska for ANY event will be Super Bowl Sunday... Because the Nebraska women's basketball team will host the Iowa women's team...and specifically Caitlin Clark. After 38 tonight, she's now 66 points away from setting a new NCAA scoring record. There's a game Thursday night against Penn State. Then it's the Nebraska game. For an all time, significant record? Yeah it's a super-hot ticket. StubHub shows the cheapest general admission tickets are asking over $100...for comparison? For the Minnesota-Nebraska game a couple weeks later, lower level, front row seats near center court are going for $44. (For the Iowa game, row 12 seats in the same section...$656.) Quote
