Seahawks linebacker Darrell Taylor deserves a medal for this penalty against the Lions and I enjoy it more every time I watch the replay
Man, I simply can't stop laughing at this play. I don't know how Darrell Taylor read this play so terribly — it for sure wasn't Goff's "fake" — but this has to go down as one of the funniest penalties in NFL history.

Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas was taking an in-game interview when a ball was hit his way and he made the perfect play both with the ball and with the mic
Yo, Miguel Rojas is a legend, and even more so after this little number right here. Watch as he executes the icebreaker of all icebreakers live on ESPN as a live play develops right in front of him.

2030 World Cup to be played on three continents
The 2030 World Cup is set to be played in Europe, Africa and South America to allow the tournament to start with a 100th birthday party in Uruguay.
I guess now that they're up to 9726 countries in the tournament, they need a few extra auto-bids.

Bills delay fan assistance in clearing Highmark Stadium snow
With travel bans still in place for Orchard Park, New York, the Bills asked local residents to hold off on driving to Highmark Stadium to provide assistance in shoveling snow until Monday.
-
@izzion I like that Buffalo wants to be tough and refuse to have a domed stadium. It's one of the things I respect about them, Chicago, and Green Bay.
But can't they at least put a cover over the seats so they don't have to do as much shoveling?

Toby Faire, unless the cover was a magic snow dissolving cover, they’d just be adding to the problem of shoveling the field or have to some how clear snow amounts in excess of 30cm from the cover in order to remove it.
Or they could go half done and have the worst of both worlds.
-
@izzion The field is easily plowable and/or blown away. They already have systems for that.
Getting snow out of the stands sounds like a logistical nightmare. Where do you put the snow? With all the nooks and crannies in the stands, and no clear place to just shove it into, it sounds tedious.
And if you tilt the cover away from the field to the outside of the stadium, then that should fix the problem you are presumably talking about.

Well, I'm assuming a removable tarp cover, so as to maintain the open air stadium.
Doing a fixed roof over the seating area to result in a half dome would basically just give you a domed stadium but without the actual retractable roof. Sure, they'll still be able to play football LIKE MEN in the cold, but you'll have a lot of the field surface and kicking game aerodynamics problems of a domed stadium with the roof open.

the Angels like to pretend that Los Angeles does as well
As a life-long Dodgers fan, I think that's hilarious.

@remi Almost, but not quite, entirely wrong. I was born roughly the same time they moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. As a Brooklyn team, I would have had no interest in them, so in a sense, I did have to wait until they moved (except they were actually a little ahead of me). However, as an infant, I still had no interest in them or any other sports team. It wasn't until I was maybe 7 yo, or so, that I developed any awareness of, much less interest in, baseball. That awareness was due entirely to the influence of my grandmother's neighbor, who was from Brooklyn and insisted that if I wanted to be her friend, I was required to be a Dodgers fan.

5 weeks ago, a Buffalo fan fell into a pit where their new stadium is being built and the Bills won. The fans have thrown someone in the pit each week since and they haven't lost yet.
If there's one fanbase in the NFL where this kind of story doesn't surprise me, it's the Buffalo Bills.

There's a tweet in there that demonstrates what they do with the snow in the stands:

@boomzilla The wording of the headline has me imagining them just kidnapping a random person taking a walk and throwing them into the pit.
Then again, that might be literally what they're doing. The Bills Mafia is a breed of human I have trouble over/under estimating.
