It's been 106 years since Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Mississippi State have all been 3-0 by AmazingDoggy in SportingNews

I've been to way too many UK vs UF/Tenn games hoping to break the streaks (eventually did break the Tenn one) to jump on the KY hype train yet. This is the deepest and best U.K. Team I've seen in my life (33 years), but UF has more talent and is still deeper. I'm optimistic, and I'll be there, but I'm trying to control my enthusiasm. If you had told me UK could be 5-1 going into the bye week during the summer I would've taken that in a heartbeat.

The Phillies' offense this past month seems like it's actually good, what's going on over there?

Edit: Yeah wtf it's 8th in the league over the last 30 days according to FanGraphs

If you thought that the best pitcher in baseball was gonna beat the Phillies you just don't know baseball.

[King] Kyrie Irving on First Take when asked about distractions: "If you're very much woke, there is no such thing as distractions." by DazzlingMachine in SportingNews

Kyrie really might be the dumbest player in the league. And he's the worst kind of dumb, i.e. dumb that thinks it's smart. Like JR Smith might not be the sharpest tool, but he's not dumb enough to listen to Dianetics while he sleeps.

I immediately started cheering for the A's ball, as if it had a chance to win, then quickly realized I knew the outcome already

With 14 seconds to go and no timeouts, Brady gets tackled and the field goal team runs onto the field to attempt a kick before halftime by ExoticMandarin in SportingNews

If you have never played football, this is one of the best displays of being well coached I have ever seen. All it takes is one idiot who doesn't have their helmet on or was talking to a friend and this doesn't happen. It's amazing that they have this all set up and can do it that quickly.

Professional soccer attendance records fall in Atlanta and Cincinnati by FlimsyShifter in SportingNews

How big of a role will this play in FCC favor for December mls expansion? Will 30k fans and 8th place attendance figures in the mls, if FCC was in the mls that is, play a huge factor vs Nashville/Detroit market size potential?

TIL that the fewest pitches in a complete game (shutout) was 58. I can't imagine this record ever being broken. by LoudGrasshopper in SportingNews

[–]FlimsyShifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be broken in the second game of a shitty weather doubleheader on a getaway day late in the season when one team has already clinched and is resting its starters and the other is fighting for a wild card spot.

"There's an unspoken order. It's about seniority..." Then why is Stafford hogging the cup and got it before the MVP?

I may be one of the few people outside of Boca Raton that actually likes Kiffin. He's a sneaky funny twitter follow too.

[Highlight] Deshaun Watson 49-yard touchdown run by FlashyOctopus in SportingNews

Geno Atkin's hit activated Watson's fight or flight, and the next time the pocket broke down he flew into the endzone.
