    OT: Steelers playing the Saints in Paris on 10/25

    Very interesting, I hadn't thought of all that. All that had occurred to me was that the French would like the New Orleans helmets...

    OT: RIP Dr Hook singer

    That's a drag; I always liked them back in the day, even before they found the "formula" in the late seventies and cranked out quite a few Top 40 hits. I never did figure out the "eye patch" guy...

    OT: Triple Crown of Horse Racing

    Right. They'll make the Triple Crown easier to win (missing the point of what it used to take to win it) and Joe Sportsfan will be excited about it...

    OT: Triple Crown of Horse Racing

    While I'm personally not a fan of dumbing down sports so that, for example, every football game is a 49-47 "classic" with 950 yards of total offense, I know that's the way things have been going in professional sports for quite some time. I have no doubt that the racing industry will do what's...

    OT: Triple Crown of Horse Racing

    I know this is old school thinking, but to me part of being a Triple Crown winner was being able to win different kind of races without a ton of rest and recovery time. But I'm pretty sure it will eventually go the way you've described...

    He has an easygoing "kumbyah" personality that one doesn't see much in the uber-competitive athletic world. Not everybody liked that, there or anywhere. My personality is actually kind of similar, which was very off-putting and rare in the wrestling world that I occupied for a long time, so I...

    No. 20 Women’s Lacrosse Faced No. 3 Maryland Sunday in Second Round of NCAA Tournament

    Just out of curiosity, what have you seen that makes you think that?

    No. 20 Women’s Lacrosse Faced No. 3 Maryland Sunday in Second Round of NCAA Tournament

    Usually there are good crowds for men's and women's lacrosse. There are often complaints that since the cameras never show that side on TV, it's a really bad look for the programs. I'm not sure why they played that game in SECU. There is a beautiful women's field hockey/lacrosse stadium in...

    Off-topic, but many on the Virginia lacrosse board think their coach, Lars Tiffany, either resigned or not been renewed. Nothing confirmed by any poster. I'd be surprised if true; it makes sense for nobody... Next morning: sorry posting this. It's now seeming like it was just a bogus rumor...

    OT: Canvas taken down during finals

    So hard for me to wrap my head around this. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/deal-reached-hackers-delete-data-stolen-canvas-educational-platform-rcna344693

    OT: Triple Crown of Horse Racing

    Not sure if everybody is aware, but the Preakness will be held in Laurel this year, due to renovations at Pimlico in Baltimore. Also, not sure what this means, but Churchill Downs is purchasing "all intellectual property rights to the Preakness" for $85 billion. I'm not sure who they are...

    I have a lot of Virginia lacrosse friends, and they are obviously crushed over this. Especially since MDW Final Four is at their place in a few weeks. Good luck to all remaining teams...
