OT: Other Sports 80

[HeisenBaez]

Dexter Fowler retired from baseball.

 

[hawksrule]

Not a terrible return tbh.

 

[Behn Wilson]

Not a terrible return tbh.

Glad he is not going to be re-united with LeBron

Better then I thought will be interesting to see how him and luka fit

I’m sure Luka will hate him soon enough.

 

[Mrfenn92]

I’m sure Luka will hate him soon enough.

If it even takes that long

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Luka is going to waste away his career if he stays in Dallas at this point

 

[plasmonresonance]

I’m sure Luka will hate him soon enough.

Kyrie probably won't show up enough to bother Luka.

Mavs must have talked to Kyrie before trading for him.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Only a matter of time before the Mavs regret this.

State of Illinois minor league hockey news:



Seems like there's some minor league scandals down in Danville.

What crowd?

SPHL having 3 teams in Illinois doesn't make any sense to me

I'd have to guess people stopped getting paid.

Man City charged by Premier League with 101 Financial Fair Play violations today. It is a great read for those interested on the various sites. The evidence is pretty blatant and there is a threat of relegation as part of the punishment.

I doubt much comes from this other than a transfer ban but soccer does have more chaos in it North American sports.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Has to be a serious outbreak for this to happen. Can't remember very many major games cancelled recently for covid.

 

[Pez68]

How are things still being canceled for COVID right now? Kind of absurd.

The premier league is not UEFA. They don't take the bribes as happened before. And there is no limitation on when it happened. It has been a 4 year investigation so probably points deduction, 2 year xfer ban, 100-200mm fine. As Man Ute fan relegation would be oh so sweet.

Must be that one side can’t field a team.

 

[Pez68]

Must be that one side can’t field a team.

Probably due to outdated COVID protocols. I wonder how many of their players/staff are truly sick, vs. just testing positive.

 

[TLEH]

Man City won't get relegated but Premier League will actually do some damage to them. Just goes to show how "wild west" European Soccer can be, especially now that all the oil is involved. Shell companies with 2 employees investing hundreds of millions lol

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Relegation wouldn't surprise me. I think they're more likely to do something following the season, than to do a point reduction.

"Is you taking notes on a criminal ****ing conspiracy?"

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Promotion and relegation is really the only part of soccer that interests me, so I’m all for seeing a recent powerhouse stashed in a lower division for a bit.

I’d imagine that unless specifically barred for a set period of time that they’d be right back up very soon, though.

You can penalize a team points in the standings too. Like you start the season with -20 points in the standings.

Norm MacDonald summarized my feelings for soccer on his short lived sports show.

He showed a clip o f a soccer player scoring a fancy goal and he says, "great play and I could not be more bored"

R.I.P. Norm!
