Non-Hockey Sports Thread VIII

What a freaking game. Really wanted Kansas City to win, as most people. Bummer.

Refs gave the Pats 2 freebies and the Chiefs still found a way to shoot themselves in the foot.

The NFL Probowl really needs to just end. Even the trophy is done with the farce.

TB Rays are going completely cash free next season at their stadium.

Tropicana Field to be first cash-free sports venue in North America

I'm not a fan of this. I use my card for most things, but still pay for the walking vendors with cash and give the kid some cash so she can buy/pay for her ice cream or whatever on her own. Yea I can get her a gift card or whatever, but what transaction is ever an even dollar amount?

RIP to former Vikings QB Wade Wilson who passed away today on his birthday at the young age of 60

So apparently New Orleans fans are boycotting the super bowl over the bad officiating that cost them the NFC Championship.

Excuse me while I go play the worlds most sarcastic violin.

 

[SupremeNachos]

If the Patriots win another SB I will be mildly upset this time.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Holy crap. Let the man celebrate before you freaking smother him.

 

[SupremeNachos]

Nice job guys. Picking a guy who was suspended for cheating as your MVP is an excellent choice.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

The two things aren't related.

Bill Belicheck is incredible.

 

[Wabit]

Has anyone checked out this new AAF football league?

 

[Wabit]

I like Haas' livery this year for F1.

Looks like Keenum is headed out the door in Denver.

 

[SupremeNachos]

Oh boy Jerruh. Talk about being bitter.

Twins pick Marwin. Gonzalez for 2/$21m. Seems high for utility guy.

Coming off a career year. I'm still waiting for the Twins to add another top end starter.

I don’t follow baseball but holy crap

Finally. The MLB is under fire because the free agency market has been ridiculously slow.

That is one big contract, though I thought he would get around $320M.

 

[Northerner]

He's not worth that much.

 

[Wild11MN]

He's not worth that much.

He's hit below .250 in two of the past three years. It's no surprise there were so few teams interested in that type of deal. It's ridiculous money!

 

[melinko]

Loons open the season with 2 wins.

Shutout San Jose 3-0 tonight.

So far to my untrained eye Jan Gregus hasn't had the immediate impact that Opara, Alonso, or Métanire have had. His set pieces seem to be his biggest strength right now.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

First ever road clean sheet ^^^

Barr to the Jets. Sad to see him go, but cap and all.

Barr to the Jets. Sad to see him go, but cap and all.

Richardson to Browns as well. Getting pummeled.

Still say Zimmer never used Barr to his best strengths. Guy could have been a monster Edge rusher.
