Hi all! I've taken over the Sports page here at Negative World. This thread is a safe space to talk about all things sports related, even sports video games!
I've also taken some hallmarks from Mr. Mustache's old sports thread and supplanted them here in the OP!
Have fun!
Current events:
NFL: The Eagles won the Super Bowl. Crazy!
NHL: Those Vegas Golden Knights keep rolling. Also, the Bruins look like the team to beat in the East next to Tampa Bay.
What a great opening day win for the M's! We had GREAT seats (thank you Dad), and a record opening day attendance too. Didn't get to sleep until after 12:30 by the time we drove home, but was well worth it!
With yesterday's walk off win against the Phillies the Braves are over .500 for the first time since June 1st 1995. Granted we are only one game into the season but bad streaks are meant to be broken and I'll take what I can get.
Holy crap, that Pirates/Tigers game yesterday was one of the craziest baseball games I've ever seen. And DEFINITELY the craziest Opening Day game I ever watched.
My wife literally turned it off when the Tigers "won" and then 10 minutes later on Twitter I saw the game had continued, ha ha. OOPS. Also I feel awful for the fans there, because what a garbage way to lose a game. Been there (against the Braves a few years back, before replay so we didn't even get to challenge it).
I didn't realize how much I missed baseball this year. Usually I miss it, but that game was like "HERE IS WHY YOU MISSED IT" in big red letters.
NFL Draft is tomorrow. Who's career are the Browns going to ruin this year? I'm not a fan of the Thursday, Friday, Saturday thing. I always enjoyed watching it throughout the weekend. Plus, because I'm on the west coast, I'm still at work for the 1st few picks.
I'm nervous the Bills will bills the draft (bills - v. - to ruin a good game/good time; to lose in spectacular fashion. ex: The Maple Leafs really billsed that game 7 against the Bruins last night.).
The Mets still looking good despite getting blown out by the Cards last night.
