NYCFC going further and further all-in on the pigeon identity is outstanding.

Nothing it stupider than the giant Super Bowl logos at the 25 instead of the 50. We know it's the NFL dude. Put the SB logo in the middle.
Don't need to be thinking every single play is near the 50 cause of the giant logo in every shot.

The field design for Super Bowl LX has been released. Both Patriots and Seahawks have navy blue endzones, continuing the logo + wordmark style in use for several years now. Full field layout + close-ups: news.sportslogos.net/2026/01/30/n...

Only two date overlaps with FTLUTD this spring, only one of which has a time overlap, and that day they're both away games for easy multl-viewing.
Nice.

The Challenge Cup has always been the perfect opportunity to create a women’s Open Cup. Heck the name of the USOC was National Challenge Cup for most of its history.

If you need a brain palette cleanser from the madness and/or some exercise, pop this playlist on and chase a toddler around the house for about 30 minutes.

2) Having teams, with actual locally-tied identities (even if only one of them actually plays locally), has made me 1000% more interested in watching golf of any sort
