No, I think the whole deal with a trademark is you can only use it for those limited uses or else it invalidates its uniqueness. Plus, it causes confusion because if people know “Final Four” as basketball and you use it for Bowling or Hockey or something else, it dilutes its resonance. Or so goes the thinking in the…

there’s zero financial reason for mayweather to do this. that’s why.

He was the golf buddy of the owner. That was his main qualification. Mark Jackson was preachy blowhard, but Kerr had only been a GM before not a coach & they paid him more money and again, the VC owners of the team cited “comfort” with him as a reason to not bother doing a real search and hiring him. So yeah...I’m not…

I think once rich people who wants sports teams realize the US Open Cup is a cheap way to basically beat the major leagues on their own turf, they’ll start spending money on lower division clubs as giant killers. I doubt it’d be anything besides a labour of love, but the idea of capturing the imagination and a small…

This tournament desperately needs a minnow club to win the whole thing. The regional system actually benefits them in this manner, because it thins out the MLS herd just because they end up drawing each other in the tournament too soon depending on where they are.

Nope. Gotta pay the “owner operators” of MLS.

MLB isn’t actually keeping separate records for the Nats, are they? It’s just one franchise stupidly.

One of the things the old regime did right. Fuck Shapiro and Co.

He got cut in Canada after getting injured. He needs to stop being so salty. But hey whatever.

The best part of GChat is/was invisible mode. With that gone, I don’t really think I’ll bother. I’d been invisible on there so long that it was pretty much however knew to talk to me and I don’t like the idea of just being on all of the time. Wither the days of AIM, frankly.

their family is going to eat for a generation because of his showmanship. He annoys me, but there’s not a lot to be mad at. He’s not the first bombastic dad to show up in the world, much less in sports.

Embiid wasn’t really a rookie. Saric played overseas. So I can see why Brogdon got it, he’s a true rookie.

second rounder winning ROY is notable.

John didn’t have to put her name in his mouth at all. He could have deflected the question or ignored it or just answered it and moved on. But he’s trying to sell his book, so he has to be controversial as usual. This is all about his stupid book.

This is a pasttime of mine too, explaining sports to friends from elsewhere. Or even from here who have no idea the complexities.

They didn’t do much right in the old days, but they got the forward pass right. It’s just superior to rugby and so much more interesting, even if the NFL itself is a mess.

Nada.

Also, I watched a few feeds on periscope, no one is streaming all of it, but...from what I can tell so far, it’s going to be tough to get people to care for an entire game because the teams don’t really give you any reason to root. But I guess if you have your favorite player on a squad, it might work. It’s not quite…

Either it’s the pre-existing contracts with those other leagues that prevented them from showing this live or they underestimated how popular it’d be and figure they’d get people at home on a Monday night when they don’t have much else to show. Plus, it’s like several games in a row, but I guess that’d be decent binge…

have a day, michael a. taylor. have a day.
