The Angels’ encouragement of the #LightWave on the Athletics is pretty pathetic
#LightWave — Angels (@Angels) August 29, 2014 Last night, the Angels encouraged their fans to do a #LightWave during the game. What is that? Apparently it’s asking fans to use their lights on their phones to distract the opposing batter. It happened last night when Stephen Vogt was at the plate with the bases loaded. […]
The new punishments for domestic violence is good but not good enough for NFL
NFL announces changes to the league’s personal conduct policy: http://t.co/M4bkMxBP9e — NFL (@nfl) August 28, 2014 Roger Goodell admitted that his decision to punish Ray Rice for only two games for beating his fiance was not good enough. In turn he has implemented a new rule for every NFL employee that a first offense will […]
Those ugly NFL Christmas sweaters have a new design and I love them
I wasn’t sold on the previous two 49ers sweater designs. However, this new one is perfect for me. Remember when they announced the ugly NFL sweaters? Well, it looks like we have ourselves some new designs released just in time for purchase before our eggnogging drinking days. Check out these new designs. They don’t have designs […]
The new St. Louis Blues uniforms look nice
PHOTOS: The new jerseys bring back a more traditional look. >>> http://t.co/qkZJ92J5dM #stlblues pic.twitter.com/2ornTrcfdq — St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) August 25, 2014 What I like about these new Blues uniforms is that they look nothing like their old set. Removed are the unnecessary pipings and the odd color placements. Instead it’s a simple classic look […]

A call for the 49ers to wear their 1994 throwbacks this year
The 1994 throwbacks. In 1994, the NFL celebrated their 75th anniversary and many teams throughout the league wore throwbacks that season. The 49ers wore the throwbacks you see above, taking back to their 1955 set, early in the season. When they got superstitious, they decided to keep wearing that uniform. They eventually rode that all […]
The Braves and their poor usage of the hashtag #ThePenIsMightier

49ers offensive lineman Anthony Davis thinks Robin Williams’ death was an inside job
https://twitter.com/AnthonyDavis76/status/499349684167536640 “What if they killed Robin Williams to distract us from what was really going on…” The tweet has since been deleted. What an odd thing to say. Who killed Robin Williams and what was it to distract us from? Davis is notorious for tweeting things that either anger or confuse people. This is another […]
Steph Curry says he’s a better offensive player than LeBron James
I see nothing wrong with what he said. If he is, then he is. If he isn’t, nothing wrong thinking he can be. I don’t agree, but this isn’t news. Share this: Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Pinterest […]
Paul George to change uniform number so he can establish his own nickname
Paul George wears No. 24. There have been talks over the past couple seasons that he should change his number to 13 so they can call him PG-13. You know, because creativity with nicknames and numbers is the in thing right now with CP3 Chris Paul and D-12 Dwight Howard out there. And he decided […]
The Braves-Athletics 1914 throwbacks this upcoming weekend looks promising
Throwback alert – 1914 #Braves vs 1914 #Athletics in Atlanta this Saturday #MLB Pics/Details: http://t.co/j5SturEvIJ pic.twitter.com/dPWU40YOd3 — Chris Creamer (@sportslogosnet) August 11, 2014 I love throwback games. And when they are done right, they are a great sight to behold. In fact, this could be a very visually-pleasing affair. I’m all for it! Advertisement Share […]
I like the new changes the Indians are giving to Progressive Field aka Jacobs Field
I have been to this ballpark. I think it’s the second best park I have ever visited right behind Safeco Field in Seattle. The midwest, blue collar feel has always amazed me. It’s not a stadium with too much going on, but the ambiance of it always captured me. And it’s right in the heart […]
Levi’s Stadium to host NHL Stadium Series game between Sharks and Kings
https://twitter.com/NHL/status/497050177346478081 This is what I have been waiting for! I went to the one in LA this year and it was a blast. I can only imagine how this one is going to be in a new stadium and filled with Sharks fans. What makes this great is that outdoor hockey is nothing like anything […]
When autofill messes up the tweet
https://twitter.com/CBSSF/status/496741344656650240 When you have autofill set, sometimes the computer will fill in words they assume you are using. Take this for example. Somehow, #Athletics became #atheism. Looks like CBS has been using the word “atheism” a lot lately. What an unholy situation to be in.

Movie review: When the Game Stands Tall
When I first heard about this movie, I was curious as to what would be the premise of the film. I grew up in the Bay Area so De La Salle’s story was familiar to me. In fact, I was in high school at St. Mary’s (Go Panthers!) when the streak ended. So as I […]
Darren Rovell: Heartless monster who has no sympathy for Paul George’s injury
The Pacers are covered for Paul George’s injury. If he misses a full season, they would get back $6.3M of the $15.8M they pay him. — darren rovell (@darrenrovell) August 2, 2014 Darren Rovell tweeted that out about an hour after Paul George’s nasty leg injury. While important, the timing is bad. This goes to […]
