Floating Sports Fan

@JFreshHockey Thanks for throwing in Bossy. I'm a football guy but if I could pick any athlete to have healthy career it would be him. Pops grew up when they won 4 straight so he's always been an Islanders fan and talking him up.

everyone will have their own criteria for what generational means. it's not anything close to an exact science. to me, it's a very restrictive group that leaves out a lot of legends, and it's not close to an insult not to be on that list yet at age 19

@Jomboy_ I've never stood in a batter box for fast pitch anything. What's the hardest to call, a low pitch over the plate, or something moving horizontal near the edges ?

The Yankees have overturned 5 calls so far. We’re in the 4th inning. They’re all low pitches. Umpire Mike Estabrook is getting embarrassed and also getting yelled at by the Yankees to make an adjustment.

I have no ties to anyone important but I do have a question. Having the experience you do, and seeing how the inside of the league works, if you were to start a solo project in sports, where do you see the most growth potential ? Back in the big pro league with money, or helping smaller pro/college teams gain exposure and keep/grow their own programs?

For those wondering, yes, I was part of the PFF layoffs today. Grateful for the connections I made and proud of the work I did. Ran our Main @PFF Twitter & IG accounts (2.3M combined followers) solo for the last year plus. DMs are open for any roles or opportunities you have.

@SickosCommittee They walked, so Maxx Crosby could run.

I present to you Eastern Michigan’s 1894 football team. They were known as the Michigan State Normal Normalites.

@DetroitInSC @AlTheBoss03 Maybe that was the roster. Sorry I'm a newer baseball fan and trying to recall things I heard lol

@LearninBall @AlTheBoss03 For us it was really 2011-2014 peak with a loss in the 2012 WS. Dombrowski refused to address the bullpen and we suffered for it.

Name the year your team had a World Series roster… and still came home empty-handed. 😤⚾

@i_am_puddle @conorsen @PitchingNinja The multi pitch overlay sort of made it click with the "oh shit, there's no way you can know what's happening" lol

@LearninBall @conorsen @PitchingNinja this is a pretty dope testimonial here. You’re doing the lord’s work!

An underrated factor in the baseball resurgence is it’s a sport well-suited to algorithmic short-form video content — lots of interesting random unique 15-60 second moments happen every day.

@Henriquekk4g @AMitchReporting Probably stuff like wellness checks, entry into buildings, confirming deaths if they run semi similar to my city. Or also, if like my city, helping the cops tie their shoes and get them to stop pushing the "pull" doors 😉

@LearninBall @AMitchReporting What the fuck would the FDNY be assisting the fucking police with exactly?

Gloves are off at FDNY vs. NYPD

@DisplacedSabres @JLazzy23 Michigan V Arizona should be one of the best CBB games in my lifetime. Nervous but excited!

@LearninBall @JLazzy23 lol #GoBlue!

Pretty cool day to be a Michigan Wolverines fan. Basketball team can punch their ticket to the Final Four and the Hockey team could do so as well for the Frozen Four. Have we seen a school win both tournaments in the same year before?

@alrightamber It's respectable. Everything else is "see you at 7" and just when you're about to give up, they start at 7:18 finally

i love when baseball games have exact ass starting times. like ok see you guys at 7:07

@NHL_Rosters Could have told me the wings were 2-12-1 and I would have believed it. Becoming an annual tradition.

Worst records in the NHL since the Olympic break: Vancouver - 3-10-2 (8 pts) Toronto - 4-9-4 (12 pts) Florida - 6-9-0 (12 pts) Vegas - 5-10-2 (12 pts) Seattle - 5-9-2 (12 pts) Chicago - 5-7-4 (14 pts) Detroit - 6-7-2 (14 pts) San Jose - 6-7-3 (15 pts) Los Angeles - 6-7-4 (16 pts) Minnesota - 7-7-2 (16 pts)

@KAlexanderr_ I'm 2/2 on passing out in my chair in the rain between races. I'm doing my part to disgust the rich folk and send them back to the grandstand.

The Kentucky Derby infield

@DisplacedSabres @JLazzy23 I figured there had to be a good story, just too rare of a combination lol. Plus, sabers fans are doin much better than Red wings right now. Go Blue!

@LearninBall @JLazzy23 My dad grew up in Buffalo. His uncle when he left the navy moved from Buffalo to Ann Arbor. I grew up visiting that uncle going to Michigan hockey games at Yost as a kid and have rooted for UM ever since. I was in Albany on Friday & am back today to see Michigan pagain. #GoBlue

@DisplacedSabres @JLazzy23 How does a Michigan fan be a Sabers fan ? Just curious, the Wings are like 40 minutes away from Ann Arbor.

@JLazzy23 As a diehard Michigan + Sabres fan, this is either gonna be a very happy spring or a very heartbreaking spring. Either way I’ve waited a long time with Sabres. It’s rewarding to finally see them back in it. I’ve still yet to see Michigan Hockey/BB win natty in my life. #GoBlue

@YouthHockeyHub Gimme that all mitten frozen 4 featuring North Dakota. Then let Michigan take state in the championships since I didn't get that basketball final matchup. :(

NCAAM College hockey is down to the Elite Eight: who will be going to Vegas?

Holding myself accountable by learning more about the legends of the game. Al Davis had an almost 50 year run in the AFL/NFL which included everything from scouting to league commissioner. I HIGHLY recommend everyone learning a bit more about his history as well as the Raiders.

@DStarmanHockey I was asking people on a previous thread. Other than just simply "money" how do we prevent this ? Games aren't marketed, can't find anything on tv, yet sports are at all time high for viewers and profits in other leagues.

I'm beyond mortified what Mercyhurst did to those kids in the Men's D1 hockey program. Lets' hope this is not a trend starting at smaller schools. We need more men's and women's college hockey programs...#growthegame
