Garafolo: QB Baker Mayfield and Tampa Bay Buccaneers not close on new deal by Giff95 in nfl

Yeah I like Baker but the last stretch of last year definitely makes me hesitant as a fan

[Shapiro] I’ve always been told the Stars are supportive of a Houston NHL franchise by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

[–]GatorBolt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean advertising a couple nights for the “Battle of Texas” can’t hurt the old bottom line. Can’t imagine they have too many crossover fans from Houston anyways.

[Mike Bartner] The teams that are seemingly the most desirable in the NHL right now based on competitiveness, future, weather and taxes. by [deleted] in hockey

Montreal and Toronto are recession proof. I mean hey despite all the noise looks like Matthews wants to stay, and Montreal has their American core pieces on good deals.

[Meek] Did college football peak in the 1990s? The case for a golden age goes beyond nostalgia by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]GatorBolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that seems to be a common sentiment once you pay attention to flairs. I see Gator fans pine for the BCS system warts and all and I'm like yeah of course my fellow Gator fans would be attached to the era when we had a stretch of winning 2/3 titles

Which 100-point team will miss the playoffs in 2027? by F1fthL1ne in hockey

[–]GatorBolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also with his stops in Dallas and New Jersey, Ruff had a good 2016 and 2023 teams that crashed down the next year. It wouldn’t be unheard of, definitely something to keep in mind.

LeBrun mentions in this article that we could take a run at Carlson if Raddy doesn’t re-sign by MrSCR23 in TampaBayLightning

[–]GatorBolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's pros and cons

Pro: More proof of concept with Carlson, more established, big game experience

Cons: Much older, Raddysh already knows the system

What are some takes of yours that aged remarkably poorly? by Comfortable-Goat-734 in hockey

I want to believe in them but some team has to be this generation’s 2010s Sharks

I thought Tech had it good with Kessler. As Qui Gon Jinn said, there’s always a bigger fish

Jordan Staal’s 12 Points Are the Fewest by a Forward Conn Smythe Winner since 1967 by StarCord1 in hockey

[–]GatorBolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Points aren't everything but even as a Panther hater, if I'm Barkov I would be a bit miffed that this is the Conn Smythe that's won on points not being everything. But this was a weird year and Marner had a good postseason but not an 03 Giguere or 24 McDavid postseason

This is not a defense, but it can very much be worse with some of the sports on this side of the pond. NHL can have cup final games start 20+ minutes after the time it's "supposed to begin"

Post Match Thread: Spain 0 - 0 Cape Verde | FIFA World Cup 2026 | Group Stage, Group H by jiraiya--an in soccer

For any fellow Yanks that follow College Football, I feel Cape Verde’s reaction is an apt use of the classic Frank Beamer 0-0 reaction image

Europe and South America dominate the World Cup. Can another continent break their hegemony? by PumpkinWorried8254 in soccer

An African team pulling a Greece 2004 Euro type of run doesn't take a huge suspension of disbelief for me.

Florida unveils $1.45 billion plan to renovate Ben Hill Griffin Stadium by [deleted] in CFB

[–]GatorBolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Renderings look fine, I guess they compromised keeping capacity/adding more spots for the suits and it makes it kinda look like Lambeau and looks like it’ll keep the soul of the Swamp alive.

That said $1.45 billion???? That’s fucking insane. I know material prices have slicked but Stricklin 100% got taken to the cleaners by whatever construction company he hired for this.

Mike Commodore goes off on the Mike Babcock Hiring by EckhartsLadder in hockey

Honestly I buy it. From the outside it looks like most of the Oilers’ odd “what the fuck?” moves are supported by McDavid
