Someone should tell Jason that he was two days ahead on his April Fool's joke.

Seems about right for Orlando. For every Rays or Marlins hat/decal/jersey I see on the street, there's about 10 for the Yankees, 5 for the Red Sox, and 2 or 3 each for the Cubs and the Cards. It really gives lie to this theory that Orlando is a natural secondary market for the in-state MLB teams (or, for that matter,…

As an Asian-American, I would gladly apply for a spot on the board of Colbert's foundation, if he were to actually create it in real life.

How great would the Seattle Mariners-Portland Rays rivalry be?

Thugs.

Well, it's easy to see why David Moyes tried to hold him back while he was still managing at Everton.

+1

The NFL has already turned off the average fan from actually going to the games by jacking up ticket prices, and by turning the games they do attend into three-hour infomercials.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the same shift occur for those who only watch the games on TV now, especially if the cable subscriptions…

I'd hate to see what would happen if FIFA sent Marriner to the World Cup and put him in charge of a match involving Japan or South Korea.

They still sell Russell Westbrook voodoo dolls in the Puget Sound?

Some things just never change.

The Florida Panthers would kill for a crowd like that, in all fairness.

I'd imagine the backlash would have been slightly less virulent had they just run Papa John's commercials on a loop the whole time.

Intelligently managed teams tank.

Eh, I highly doubt Rich Devos would send his GM out to form an intelligent design for the Magic roster.

Fascinating read. We even got an answer to this unasked question: "knowing what you know about your NBA career now, if you could do it all over again, would you still play basketball?"

LeBron would have come back after a week.

Is this analogous to a subset of soccer fans constantly deriding football as "handegg" and ragging on the sport as a whole? Granted, that's somewhat the byproduct of soccer itself being regularly shat on by the non-fans, but the so-called banter between the two sides can get really tedious after a while.

Still a better parent than Casey Anthony.

I've always made a point of this, but sports venues in general are "investments" in the same way that buying a new car is an investment. Except that with a new car, you yourself can do whatever you want with it, while the stadiums and arenas are mostly used according to the schedules and whims of people who don't even…

This is the reason why I can't get into the MLS, or even my local USL team, way more so than anything on the pitch. I made the "mistake" of wearing the jersey of my favorite European club to the one of their matches, and the hardcore types (they fancied themselves as ultras, apparently) immediately jumped down my…
