AZ, you're talking baseball?  It's -12 in Cleveland (i.e. -24 Celsius) and that's the actual temperature, not the wind chill factor.  Mind you, I have attended opening days on which it's snowed.

77 (25C) and balmy here in Cali today. Can you send some snow or rain this direction?

The NBA went mental last night.

Yeah Baseball. That's why they all go to Arizona or Florida for Spring Training! Spring Training was a great time. You could just rock on up to the Cubs in Mesa, or the Giants in Scottsdale, or an array of others and just stroll on in , get a few hot dogs or whatever and watch the games. Felt like summer was on the way.

Did not see that McCoy Alonso trade coming.

No-one did. You can see what both sides are at with it though.

I'd be mighty pissed if I were Shady McCoy though. A Penn lad, conducts himself well on and off the field and he gets shipped off from a contender to the frigid environs of Buffalo and a perennial also-ran.

How do you think John Evans feels? 

Only joking.

Suh to sign for the Dolphins

Randall Cobb signing for 4 years in Grenn Bay, huge for the packers. At 24 should be really hitting his prime over the next few years.

This Chargers stadium thing is becoming a joke over here. It should be simple really. Build the f**king thing beside petco in downtown . You would be basically the Super Bowl every 4 years, NCAA championships in football, final 4's, the list could go and on. For somebody going on a once in a lifetime trip to watch their team in a super bowl , San Diego or New York, first week in February ??
This is SD though, and from what I've been listening to over the last month, there's a good chance they will be in LA for the 2016/17 season

Frank Gore to Eagles, or so ESPN reported.  Also, Maclin to KC.

As a life time 49ers fan this breaks my heart.

Darnell Dockett going to the niners hurts the Cards, but I trust them.

Reports that Patrick Willis & Justin Smith are both retiring.
Really shocked by the Willis news though he has hinted that he has been playing through injury for a while.
