Awful Announcing writes of the San Francisco Giants announcing team of Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow's recent appearance on the Starkville podcast.
The duo, who I believe is the best pair in the game, discussed their health issues from recent years, how long they plan on continuing to call games, and how they plan on exiting the scene when the time arrives.
The Ring The Damn Bell blog writes of the downfall of the 1980s tag team "The New Breed".
Sean Royal and Chris Champion appeared to be on the horizon of becoming stars and champions before a car accident put the brakes on their rising career.
The momentum slowed after their return and soon after, the Breed were finished as a team.
The post talks to Sean Royal about the team, the accident, and how Royal tried to end the team before the comeback due to his bitterness towards Champion.
The Athletic writes of the Minnesota Timberwolves' decision to start veteran reserve Joe Ingles in a game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Ingles is the father of an autistic son who couldn't last more than a minute or two watching a game, but on the first night, he was able to watch the entire game. Ingles, who is a seldom-used reserve, didn't play.
The game against the Pelicans was the final game of the year for the Ingles family, who were returning to their home in Florida after the contest.
Coach Chris Finch decided to make sure Ingles would play by starting Ingles.
Ingles didn't score in six minutes of play, but Minnesota won, stopping a losing streak.
I'm not sure how many of you remember Pro Beach Hockey from 1998-2000, the made-for-television roller hockey league from ESPN, but Winnipeg Jets goaltender Chris Driedger's injury in 2022 led to Driedger discovering the PBH and developing a soon-to-be-released documentary on the league.
The league, originally conceived by the man who brought you the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling, David McLane, was shown afternoons on ESPN after the season had been taped and featured a ball rather than a puck, ramps behind each net, a two point shot for goals shot from a certain distance and of course played on roller skates.
