    It's an echo of the Washington Football Club name before they became the lackluster Commanders. Thing is, emulating that name comes across as mere trend chasing. The US sports brand equivalent of trying to make "fetch" happen.

    Yeti is the best one. Venom is odd... does anyone correlate Utah with anything venomous? There's too many bland ice/winter/snow options (although Blizzard is just begging for a Dairy Queen uniform ad). The action names are super generic and sound like something Nike would love for their inane...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Are there any numbers regarding the value one position (say a 1st line, PP1 center) vs another (say a #1 goalie)?

    2024 NFL Draft 4th through 7th round gamethread WITH SPOILERS

    QB is the most important position on the field. Period. The Pats' offense, coming into the draft, consisted of: 1 solid journeyman QB. A competent NFL player, but that's damning with faint praise. An OL that's a combination of old, injured, and mediocre. A WR room starring the oft-concussed...

    2024 NFL Draft 4th through 7th round gamethread WITH SPOILERS

    There’s also the fact that the game is actually played on the field. The point isn’t to simply acquire the best talent regardless of fit or need, but to field a competitive team. Drafting those defensive players mentioned does nothing to move the needle even if they’re “better talent.” It does...

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    Let's try to remember that if BB was still good at evaluating and developing offensive college players, he'd still have a job in the NFL and wouldn't be slumming with Pat McAfee....

    How to find V&N?

    I'm not asking to be promoted to full member status, but I am curious where my new member designation falls on the lurker-to-member spectrum. I'm guessing it's a middle tier, or probationary designation?

    Former SoSH Greats in the media (Simmons and SeanBerry Megathread)

    No idea. Our high school was small (about 500 kids total, around 100 in my senior class), but we weren't in the same clique. My (admittedly fuzzy because this was 27+ years ago) memories of him were that he was a smart guy. Witty. Sarcastic. A lot of his humor seemed to stem from hot takes and...

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    I didn't want Mitchell Miller on the Bruins and I don't want Trevor Bauer on the Red Sox. I don't want pieces of shit playing on the teams I root for. Simple as that.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    This, right here, is the correct answer. Not just regarding this specific TV series, but the entire sports media complex. Outside of actual reporting, who cares what Volin, CHB, Bedard, et al. have to say about anything? I don't know. Maybe it's just me. But this push to turn nearly every...
