Thought I'd have a local paper (but not the Times, whom I'm boycotting) to report on the deal. Thus the Orange County Register. Lakers Trade for Luca Doncic

I missed it last night as we were celebrating (as a family) my eldest daughter's 40th birthday. But I had a number of folks who excitedly pointed out to me about the Nirvana reunion as Dave, Krist and Pat had four different women front a song each from their catalog. 1) Annie Clark (aka St...

Well, if you haven't heard, the New York Mets broke the bank to sign Juan Soto to a record deal: 15 years, $765 million. The $700 million deal Shohei Otani signed just last year has already been shattered. Going to make for an interesting off-season now that Soto has signed...

Haven't done this in awhile. The NBA season kicked off a couple of nights ago. The Celtics raised their 18th banner, then proceeded to thrash the newly-reconstructed contenders New York Knicks. The Lakers became the first team to have a father and son play together in the same game (LeBron James...

A place for me to post my thoughts on our season. And anyone else who wants to can comment. Really. 😁 Open the season with the Rags. I have zero expectations for this largely still aging group. Makes for a weird feeling, one I've not felt since Sid's first season. And even then, there was the...

NFL legend Brett Favre revealed today he's suffering from Parkinson's. ☹️ http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/brett-favre-reveals-he-was-diagnosed-with-parkinsons-disease-while-testifying-before-u-s-congress/

Going to be an interesting year with all the changeover in personnel. Can anyone dethrone the Chiefs? I guess we'll find out.

Exciting season so far. Some historic performances, and then there's this

This was always going to happen but dayummmm! https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/edmonton-oilers-sign-leon-draisaitl-to-eight-year-112m-extension-1.2168722#:~:text=The%20Edmonton%20Oilers%20have%20signed%20forward%20Leon%20Draisaitl%20to%20an

Tough blow for the Blues. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/st-louis-blues-announce-defenseman-torey-krug-will-miss-entire-2024-2025-season/ar-AA1pVmLm?ocid=BingNewsSerp

Ricky Pearsall, first round pick of the Niners, was shot in the chest and seriously wounded during a robbery attempt in Frisco yesterday. https://apnews.com/article/ricky-pearsall-shot-robbery-san-francisco-49ers-3afececadc18b6b10d2df411a27c7d43

Carabao Cup holders Liverpool will begin the defence of their crown at home to West Ham in the third round as a seeding system was introduced in the competition for the first time. The six English sides taking part in the Champions League and Europa League were all seeded in the draw, meaning...

If you'd asked me yesterday which once widely popular band would never get back together, Oasis would've probably occupied the top spot of unlikely reunions. But as they posted on social media today: "“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will...

Had to start the thread now just so I could share this my friend sent: the longest PK shootout in UEFA history: 34 shots! 🤯 https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/40874313/ajax-panathinaikos-europa-league-shootout-uefa-record-34-penalties

Just wanted a place to post this and recognize the marvelous athletic accomplishment of this Dutch woman, Sifan Hassan, winner of the women's marathon today https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/dan-wolken/2024/08/11/sifan-hassan-womens-marathon-paris-olympics/74757504007/

Post your obits or thoughts on the passings of 2024. Several notables in the last few days, including Dr Ruth, Richard Simmons, Shannen Doherty and today, James B Sikking (Sgt Hunter on Hill Street Blues and Doogie Howser's dad.) James B Sikking Passing

Thought I'd start another Pens thread and see if I can lure anyone in to comment. Kind of sad to think that the final days of the Pens "Big Three" will end with a whimper. No playoffs the last two years, and no future to take look forward to. Picks generally graded as a C, and they traded for...

Some interesting outcomes in yesterday's various fixtures. In Euro 2024 qualifying, the huge shock was the thorough thrashing #120 Azerbaijan gave #23 Sweden, 3-0. Was also surprised by the 2-2 draw between Scotland (#34) and Georgia (#76). Then I saw that Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored...

One fourth of the way through the season. Looking like Philly and KC could well be facing each other in this year's Super Bowl as well. Can't believe Cincy's slow start, or the fact that my Steelers are 3-2 despite having an awful offense
