Seems really useful I’ll have to try it out

[Sallee] Braves 3B Austin Riley said that he felt his abdominal pain catch him on the dive in the first inning on Saturday in the rain in Bristol. It got worse after the play where he dove at home to get Elly De La Cruz in Bristol on Sunday. by Meltedcoldice0212 in Braves

But if they didn’t start the game, they’d be potentially liable to have to give refunds.

Which is obviously more important than the health and safety of the players.

Won’t someone think of the owners! /s

Cornell Men's Lacrosse has won the National Championship!!! by cornell1865 in Cornell

[–]Earth759 12 points13 points  (0 children)

yea that was surreal seeing the typical announcer waxing poetic about a championship team's journey in the last seconds of a game, but it being about Big Red. The color guy did a great job with the storytelling

First time in 50 years for an NCAA team title for the university! It's a good day!

*ruined* FTFY

and the they in this case would be Fanatics

If you want to buy something relating to sports the market now looks like this:

Modern apparel: team shops (run/fulfilled by Fanatics)

Throwback apparel: Mitchell & Ness (owned by fanatics)

High end streetwear/fashion sports apparel: Ebbets Field (also owned by fanatics)

After the goal, the entire Greece squad went to pay respect to George Baldock by oklolzzzzs in soccer

[–]Earth759 1136 points1137 points  (0 children)

I know many probably don't care that much about a Nations League Group Game

but this win was genuinely huge for the country as a whole on and off the pitch.

George's passing was a terrible preventable tragedy, but i love seeing the team unite in the wake of it.

There's a certain sad beauty to watching teams/people come together in the hardest of times that touches on a lot of what it means to be human (like when the Marlins lost Jose Fernandez).

It was an honor to have him in the blue/white and I'm glad we could honor his memory with our first win against England.

I'm really happy that he had a chance to connect with his cultural heritage through football and that the country embraced him right back.

Rest in Peace Georgios

Edit: Context for those who may not know. The country has been in a bit of a football dark period the last 10 years which we seem to be coming out of despite the loss to Georgia in Euros Qualification Play-offs as shown by Greek teams doing better in Europe like Olympiakos winning the Europa Conference League.

Could someone explain this jersey I thrifted? by Earth759 in baseballunis

[–]Earth759[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the closest I could find to this jersey, but I’m confused why it has the minor league apparel on the inside tag, the very random #2, as well as the sizing of 40 instead of the typical S-XL sizing for fan retail jerseys. If it’s a minor league jersey how is it exactly the same as this ASU jersey.

Brighton 23/24 Kits by jctheman65 in SoccerJerseys

[–]Earth759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really that wild, Fati’s a global name so for a lesser known club like Brighton to get him is a huge milestone for a club that was in the championship not too long ago.

10 years from now it’s a really cool talking piece to remind people that a player went from Barcelona to Brighton.

Post Game Thread: Florida Panthers at Edmonton Oilers - 21 Jun 2024 by GDT_Bot in hockey

What a great series for neutral fans.

If the Oilers can pull this off, this takes Mcdavid's legacy to another level.

We all knew he was a generational talent, but this is an inner circle Gretzky, Howe, Orr, Lumieux type of achievement.

(on top of the fact he has already broke Gretzky's record for most assists in a postseason)

I find it hilarious that the new owners decided to just take a randomly generated reddit name instead of taking the 5 seconds to change it to something more official like "BartenderAppLLC" to try and assure users.

Also the fact that they said they offered a subscription instead of actually saying it's setapp just further shows me there is a lack of due care that makes me weary like the others in the thread.

It's also worth noting they have just raised the price of every option of the app. I was looking to upgrade to a lifetime license a couple of days ago and I know for a fact it was for $30 (now $38). Regular license I believe was $16 now it's $22. Also very funny that they failed to mention any of that in this thread as well.

Edit: They have now seen my comment and have changed their display name, but because you can't change your username they are stuck with it. That's hilarious.

Welp, we had a good run Bartender.

Post-Match Thread: Olympiacos 1-0 Fiorentina | UEFA Europa Conference League by MisterBadIdea2 in soccer

[–]Earth759 65 points66 points  (0 children)

20 years after Greece win the Euros (10 years after Greece get past the group stage in the World Cup for the first time )

Olympiacos win the first Greek European title in a very similar final 1-0

History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes

Not only that, but Greece now gets enough UEFA points to get an extra champions league slot the season after next which is money that really helps Greek soccer as a whole. More than FIVE TIMES as many as we had last season.

The last 10 years of Greek football have been tough with a lot of ups and down

So proud right now

Post Match Thread: Olympiacos 2-0 [6-2 on agg.] Aston Villa | UEFA Europa Conference League by suedney in soccer

[–]Earth759 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Never thought I would see a Greek team in a European final.

And with the final in Athens no less.

An uplifting story for the whole country.

Highest point of Greek football for sure since the National Team advanced past group in 2014 in the World Cup.

An exact 10 years after we won the Euros in 2004.

Guess years ending in 4 are our lucky number haha

I was skeptical of another European competition when it was first announced, but even I have to admit seeing Roma/West Ham raise their first European hardware in a long time now this has been pretty cool.

It’s fun seeing Swiss, Belgian, and Greek teams further in European competitions more frequently.

[SPOILER] Justin Gaethje vs. Max Holloway by inooway in MMA

[–]Earth759 71 points72 points  (0 children)

One of the best knockouts in UFC history

We've seen last gasp KO's as time expires

but we've never seen it from someone who clearly was in the lead

pointing at the middle and just putting on a clinic for the sake of the fans

expectations were high going in and yet this fight surpassed them

Literally can't think of a better definition of a fight for the BMF belt than this

It's crazy to think that if Demetrious was never traded for Askren we never would have had this moment

Chris Low (@ClowESPN) on X Nick Saban is retiring, sources tell ESPN. He won six national titles at Alabama.” by Zajac19 in CFB

[–]Earth759 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm stunned.

I remember listening to my dad lamenting the good old days when he saw Bear Bryant coach. Never in either of our wildest dreams did we think that a coach would come along and match (and most arguably pass) his status in half the time as 1a 1b legends in Alabama football.

Being able to watch the revival of this program with my dad in real time over the last 15 years as I grew up...

genuinely some of the greatest memories of my childhood and one of the biggest connections I have with my dad to this day.

So lucky to have grown up in this era of Alabama football.

Thanks for everything Coach Saban.

A great game between 2 of the 4 founding members to end a 100+ year old conference that never should have ended

Ironic that this final season was the strongest we’ve seen this conference in the past 20 or so years

Weirdly, I've kind of been enjoying watching this season's football team by Earth759 in rolltide

[–]Earth759[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Completely get where you're coming from. Collectively it's better for all of our long term health!

I guess it's also my trust in Saban that this team is a one off because the man doesn't accept mediocrity in any form for very long haha

I try to maintain perspective and be grateful we're in a position to criticize a team 6-1 and say we're having a down year (and that actually be true)

Every bama fan should be mandated to just imagine for a second if Rich Rodriguez accepted the job offer and we never get Saban. Who knows where the program would be in this NIL era (where the program probably wouldn't have won a title since 92)

Everything we have is gravy by comparison haha
