The Athletics will play ball in Sacramento for at least three years before ultimately moving to Vegas in 2028.

Well, of course Nickelodeon is gonna do it for the cold open to their Super Bowl broadcast, and it coincides with the Sponge’s 25th anniversary.

Dan Campbell went to the well one too many times going for it on 4th down, and it cost the Lions a trip to their first Super Bowl.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: The Bills lose on a missed field goal that sailed wide right.

@Emerald Tanuki You mean Community Day Classic.

The XFL and USFL have merged to form the United Football League (UFL).

From the XFL Conference:

St. Louis Battlehawks
D.C. Defenders
San Antonio Brahmas
Arlington Renegades

From the USFL Conference:

Birmingham Stallions
Memphis Showboats
Michigan Panthers
Houston Roughnecks (merged with the Houston Gamblers)

The Pittsburgh Maulers, Philadelphia Stars, New Jersey Generals, New Orleans Breakers, Vegas Vipers, Orlando Guardians, and Seattle Sea Dragons have all suspended operations.

It’s been almost a month since the XFL Championship Game, and I still find it funny that the Arlington Renegades won a league title before the Dallas Cowboys, who also play in Arlington.

Coming into the Singapore Grand Prix, Max Verstappen is leading the World Driver Championship by 116 points over second place Charles Leclerc, and third place Sergio Pérez by 125.

Verstappen can clinch the title in Singapore if:

*He wins the race AND gets the bonus point for fastest lap
*Leclerc finishes 8th or lower
*Pérez does not finish on the podium

OR

*He wins the race
*Leclerc finishes 9th or lower
*Pérez finishes no better than 5th with fastest lap

Season 2 has been confirmed, possibly with four teams playing in Birmingham and the other four playing in a different city/cities.

The Birmingham Stallions beat the Philadelphia Stars 33-30 to win the USFL Championship.

@igotnopicks
At least I know THIS thread isn’t dead…

Halftime in Canton.
BHAM 20
PHI 9

@igotnopicks
Yeah…about Haskins…

The USFL’s (as in the “new and totally not related to the one that Orange Cheeto Man ruined” version) Championship Game is currently playing. The Birmingham Stallions are currently leading the Philadelphia Stars 10-3.

@igotnopicks
Portugal too.

Georgia has finally beaten Alabama 33-18 in the National Championship.

I hope your Fairy-type can tank a Poison Jab from her Garchomp…

To be honest, it started as a hodgepodge of association football and rugby that over the course of 150 years evolved into an unique sport.

UrinatingTree gets served another helping of humble pie as the Lightning go back-to-back.

12 of Europe’s biggest football (soccer) clubs announced that they were joining a new “European Super League,” pissing off UEFA and FIFA, whom are threatening to outlaw them and any other clubs that join.

Baylor upsets Gonzaga 86-70 to win its first Men’s Basketball National Championship!

Stanford holds on to beat Arizona 54-53!

Undefeated Gonzaga will play Baylor for the National Title!

Commissioner Rob Manfred has announced that the 2021 MLB All-Star Game will not be held in Atlanta after the State of Georgia passed a controversial voting law that’s being decried as “voter suppression.”
 
(I’m posting this here because, while politics are involved, it’s sports-related.)
 
Update (June 6): The All-Star Game will now be held in Denver. This will be the first time since 1998 that the Mile-High City hosts the Midsummer Classic.
