Reasons to Watch Fighting the cynicism of the regular season

New A3Z

Just my thoughts on the excitement of October hockey along with some league-wide things that I'm interested to follow this year. Also introducing some subscriber tiers for the blog.

I really love how the Panthers have been honoring the long time fans over these last few years. The organization understands how far they've come and how those who were there during the bleak times kept the flame lit.

Uefa allowing domestic games abroad is a sad turning point, ending soccer as we’ve known it | Leander Schaerlaeckens The change may seem small, but the profit-seeking games are clearly the first step in a mass reorientation of the club game

Uefa says that allowing a Spanish La Liga match to be played in Miami, and an Italian Serie A one in Perth, isn't precedent-setting. But soccer's organizing principle has been shattered. Any game can go to the highest-bidding locale now.

this, 2014 andrew luck's fumble recovery, and marcus mariota's self-completion are the three most bewildering qb scramble touchdowns i've ever seen in the nfl. all three happened against the chiefs

We have to get our friends at DTWD Originals with Cap to make that into a shirt, they'll get it done in no time and it'll sell out in less time!

The Jaguars will never have this kind of turnover luck ever again so I'm just going to enjoy this while I can

Devin Lloyd is up there too but Liam Coen is truly a wizard with his run stuff

The best game in his NFL career running the ball by a country mile and look what we have here, do more of that please!

Well designed play that ends in a drop and catastrophe, peak Jags ball. Thankfully it didn't happen.

He can run, he's big and physical and could be a number in the run game if they want to use it. Pederson obviously never did and Liam Coen is tiptoeing up to trying it more.

Hatin' ass Jags defender, he's perfect for this new defense

Just pretend the last time the Jaguars played a home MNF game didn't happen and you'll be fine...

This isn't exactly true but NBC obviously wants the big teams to play Peacock exclusives to drive up subscription revenue and there are two Peacock exclusive games this week because USC/Notre Dame is the NBC primetime game this week.

Look, I appreciate this. TV needs more of this. Let’s have fun again. Seriously things are so bad in the industry and everywhere. Let’s all turn on stuff at night together and go β€œthat was insane” and then surprise there are 20 more episodes and the characters don’t remember being in orbit.

As two-time champion Florida Panthers enter uncharted territory, fatigue is no match for fun It's been over 40 years since a team last made four consecutive Stanley Cup finals. The Panthers are determined to reset that counter.

Where will the Florida Panthers find the energy, the hunger, the "juice" to make a fourth straight run to the Stanley Cup Final β€” an entire extra season of hard, heavy hockey?

Easy. They fight fatigue with fun.

My deep dive on the two-time champs:
