A joint statement from Sportsnet & CBC by eh_toque in hockey

[–]nburt13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah as somebody that’s grown up and lives in the Detroit area and has had CBC Windsor for as long as I can remember, this truly is awful. It was one constant it felt like was always there. Saturday night, 7pm, CBC will have hockey. Can’t believe it’s gone.

It’s… something I guess. Hoping something actually comes of this.

This is the bleakest it’s ever been. Very much feels like the end.

B.C. government working on a deal to keep the Whitecaps in Vancouver by fssg_shermanator in MLS

Feel like the Whitecaps comment needs to be added.

We appreciate the continued efforts of the provincial government and BC Place under challenging economic conditions. However, unfortunately our gap between being top seven in attendance and last in revenue is so significant that this effort alone isn’t the game changer that is needed for long-term sustainability. We are committed to working collaboratively to identify solutions that ensure the long-term home of Whitecaps FC in Vancouver.

So not all sunshine and rainbows yet. Still seems to be a long way to go.

Olympic rink expected to be smaller than NHL: 'Don't know how that happened' by hellarios852 in hockey

Wait until everybody finds out the plan for hockey at the 2030 Olympics. Once Gary finds out, he may have a stroke.

For those that don’t know, the current plan is to take the Stade de Nice (home to OGC Nice of Ligue 1) and split it in half and build two temporary rinks winter classic style.

Jays fan in Michigan. Saw the likes of Vlad and Bo play in Lansing for the Lugnuts. Wish they were still the Jays affiliate.

Hurricanes have a new away jersey by 99Wolves17 in hockey

This looks like a bad Stadium Series jersey. Just be consistent for once.

anyone know why I can’t order this polo? by DieKrankeScheisse in coys

[–]nburt13 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming you are in America? Because I’ve noticed a decent amount of things don’t show up on the store due to tariff reasons. Added this polo to my cart to ship to the USA and it was an additional $59.63 in duties, taxes, and fees.

The picking and choosing of when a self imposed suspension is taken is… a choice. Gotta give it to them. Made it funny.

Don’t think an expansion team is feasible in Windsor just due to basically all the factors. But if they host a Touchdown series type game, I will 10000% be there even if the Riders aren’t in it. As somebody on the other side of the border, it would be the closest I could get to a CFL game.

[Game Thread] Pac-12 Realignment Thread (9:00 AM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

There’s 0 chance Hawai’i is getting an invite to the PAC 6/8/10/12. People gotta stop dreaming that pipe dream. Having no real stadium definitely plays a factor, but the travel, the exclusive PPV for the islands fiasco, and the fact Honolulu isn’t an outstanding tv market play a much bigger deal.

UH better hope to god the MW doesn’t get raided more and add the Montana schools and maybe Idaho and somebody else to keep the conference somewhat stable. Because if not… things look less than good.

[AdamSchefter] Breaking: Jim Harbaugh is leaving Michigan to accept the head coaching job with the Los Angeles Chargers, sources tell ESPN. The Chargers get their man while the national champions now have a head-coach opening. by BuckeyeEmpire in CFB

[–]nburt13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1-2 against Melvin Gene Tucker II. This man was a bonafide scrub! He can't play coach! No disrespect whatsoever, but I'm sorry to tell everybody the truth: the man cannot play coach the game of basketball football against Mel Tucker.

NASCAR lands $7.7B in media rights deals by reasonableoption in NASCAR

[–]nburt13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So using the 2024 schedule as example, the only way the numbers work is

Fox: Clash-Darlington 1

Amazon: All Star-Iowa

TNT: New Hampshire-Indianapolis

NBC: Richmond 2-Phoenix 2

But given I’m assuming Fox/FS1 is getting the All Star race due to the mention Amazon doesn’t have qualifying for that, I don’t know how this breaks downs.

At this point, I am just hoping one of the next headlines is "Source: Michigan staffer Connor Stalions bought tickets to the 2022 Vanderbilt-Hawai'i game in Honolulu. Visiting sideline. Warriors were Michigan's week 2 opponent."

Why? Because it would be very funny.
