    I’m being selfish right now but I’m so pissed at how the Hawks decided to handle this. It’s hard to fathom how they continue to get this wrong step after step after step. It makes it incredibly difficult to even try and be a fan. 

    I’ve been on the fence for a few days now, but they are making it incredibly hard to root for any part of the organization. 

    I get what you mean, but we're all in agreement what happened to Beach was horrible and looms over all of this but the only thing you and I can do is put our fandom (and money) elsewhere. Don't feel guilty discussing your fandom.

    Meanwhile, I'm surveying the league on ESPN Plus. I'll be honest, I'm tempted to hop on the Kraken bandwagon since they're a new team and everything.

    Disagree. Franchise players hold an outsized amount of influence. If Toews took the claims seriously, you had better believe more action would have been taken.

    Look, blame him or don't, but the illusion that Toews is a "good leader" is dead. His Captaincy is forever tainted.

    When I read the investigation report, it definitely does.  

    I've always liked the Stars and the Blackhawks but this is just too much. The crimes are bad enough but also the

    • Mismanagement from executives 
    • Straight of lying from Joel Quenneville and Toews, Kane
    • The homophobic and hurtful comments from the team at the time of the event

    No one comes out of this without a clear black mark. I almost feel guilty because I'm devastated I can't be a Blackhawks fan and devastated for Beach.

    RON IN 2019: Thinking of cheering for the Cubs next year

    The Sox organization disappoints year after year. They have failed their fanbase once again. I don't see anything changing in the near future. They got lucky in 2005. Jerry won't pay. We won't see a winner. If I live in this city, I might as well cheer for a team with a great FO and an owner willing to spend. I know it is blasphemy, and possibly a spur of the moment overreaction, but as of now I will be cheering for the Cubs and attending their games. This was the final straw.

    Frustrating!  I would pay a bit more just for the regional sports channels...the rest of the NBC stuff I really don't care about!  That seems about the way things work for me...

    NBCSN and the White Sox are losers here. As people cut cable, the crazy fans like us will pay extra but soon enough more casual fans will just find other places to put their money.

    Frustrating is a good word. Sad is another one.

    It totally sucks that someone outside of the region is treated better than those in the region.

    Sounds like Houston, BYU, Cincinnati and UCF to the Big 12.

     

    Will likely be a 14 team league for a year or two unless OU and Texas really wanna pay.

     

    Would imagine something like this:

    Big 12 West

    BYU

    ISU

    KU

    KSU

    OSU

    TT

    Big 12 East

    Cincy

    WVU

    UCF

    TCU

    Baylor

    Houston

     

    Eh.

     

    That has all the signs of a potentially amazing basketball conference. Houston is a far better basketball program than either Texas or Oklahoma

    If you are a top high school recruit you want to play in the SEC. 

    Right, because

    1) They have the best football teams

    2) You don't have to participate academically

    That being said, if you want to be on the national stage, you're better off at Ohio State than any SEC team not named Alabama. The fact is there are no surprises in college football. Everyone knows everything about every player by the time the draft rolls around.

    I'm interested to see what happens if there's a consortium of non-SEC conferences, because the Big Ten and Pac 12 are still more influential big picture than the SEC.

    Had a breakthrough infection last month. No kids and my wife was working nights so she didn't get it from me.

    It wasn't pleasant, but I'm double jabbed with Moderna so my body fought it off quickly. Fever lasted about 2 days. The intermittent cough persisted for almost three weeks

    The Cubs now are doing what I was so against the White Sox doing. The tank thing while rebuilding several years. Hard to believe the Cubs are yet another Chicago team to get just the one title out of that unit good enough to win it all. Cubs remain the most embarrassing team from 1960 to now. Sox need to pull a Blackhawks and win 3 in coming years baby!

    Winning the World Series is hard. Atlanta went to like 14 straight postseasons and won 1 championship
