ESPN is a blight on sports programming. They're the absolute worst.

Yup. You're absolutely right. That's the one time they absolutely delivered. I'd also say at FSU in 2016 and then they followed it up getting boat raced by VT. Just an absolutely frustrating program.

Beat Clemson? Nope. Beat Notre Dame? Nope. Big Bowl wins? Nope. Disappointing losses as double digit favourites? Yup. Blow out losses to James Madison and ECU? Yup.

I was telling my wife - I've been a lifelong basketball fan but started following Carolina football regularly in 2014. I struggle to think of many positives during that time. 2015 was fun, Maye and Howell were fun, but no big wins, no big bowl wins, just a lot of disappointment and frustration.

Oh I also can't imagine how some travellers are going to end up at some of these stadiums like MetLife or AT&T or Gillette that are pretty far from the actual host cities. We have decent enough transit in the Toronto area that it shouldn't be an issue here.

Everybody. FIFA, the sponsors, everybody who plays a role in this robbery. The countries placing the bid can't insist that this bullshit doesn't happen? Caps on prices, etc.?

Oh I'm sure they did that completely independently.

Just another example of the corporate greed that runs rampant here in North America. And there's far too many bootlickers happy to go along with it.

That's because the German football fan won't tolerate such nonsense. We allow ourselves to be taken for a ride by greedy sports owners here in North America.

Derek, I went to the Super Cup in Munich in 2023 and sat lower level and paid €80 a ticket. I just applied for a Cat 1 ticket for Germany/Côte d'Ivoire in Toronto for a cost of $840 CAD a ticket. I'm lucky I live here. Imagine flying and paying for a hotel too? It's absurd. German football gets it.

I just put in a request for tickets. I am fortunate to live near one of the venues. The prices were $840 CAD for a Cat 1 seat and $600 for a Cat 2. Not sure how anybody can reasonably fly here, pay for accommodations, and afford those prices.

In a hypothetical scenario where the Sox sign Bregman and trade for Marte, would a Marcelo Mayer for Kyle Teel trade make any sense for both teams?

I can't believe lowers are that reasonable. I wanted to go see the Pens at SBA over the Holidays and the get in price was almost 400 CAD.

I prefer to keep my Hubert bitching offline, so I regret bringing it forward here, but I just don't think he can optimize the talent he gets. He is what he is at this point. That was a good win, but I sure don't feel good about it.

Sure, but counterpoint: this offense looks terrible and predictable and it's been like this for most of his 5 years outside of a year and a month.
