miscellaneous sports thread ????

This only covers the NHL, but I firmly believe the Toronto Maples fans are the worst in all pro sports

Boston Red Sox fans are the worst - just whiny crybabies, the whole fucking lot of them.

Moving on...lolwtf is this?

Bill Belichick "amicably" stepped down as coach of the New England Patriots, ending a decadeslong run that produced an unprecedented six Super Bowl victories, he and the club said on Thursday.

The 71-year-old, who teamed up with quarterback Tom Brady to build one of pro football’s longest runs of titles, and Patriots owner Robert Kraft made the announcement during a press conference at Gillette Stadium.

ESPN was first to report the news, citing league sources, earlier Thursday morning.

Kraft said he and Belichick met on Wednesday and they "mutually agreed to part ways amicably."

"I'm very proud that our partnership lated 24 years," Kraft said standing next to his now-former head coach. "It represents the end of an era, one that hopefully will always be celebrated in this region. The man standing to my left brought the leadership and coaching skills that were needed to make this type of unprecedented success that we have had possible. "

Probably the biggest scandal Canada has ever seen. Maybe in all professional sport as well.

It's all about the money in the English Premier League.  The teams with the most money get to sign the cream of the crop while the rest get the scraps.

One of my sisters went to Day 1 of the NFL draft yesterday. Her assessment: Sports Woodstock.

Watched it on TV. Reported 275,000 there, but the network said likely more. From a visual standpoint, nothing beat the Vegas draft though.

Habs fans right now. (Only Canadian hockey fans will understand)

Opened in 1953 with design help from Miles, Willow Springs met the need for a fast racecourse as the southern California automotive scene exploded in the postwar era. After experiments with a few NASCAR races failed to turn it into a pro track, it was purchased by Bill Huth in 1962, whose son told MotorTrend in 2015 that he only bought it because he wanted to turn Big Willow's front straight into a drag strip.

It turned out to be too short, thankfully, so the road course survived. Over the decades, Huth added the other tracks and expanded Willow Springs into its present form, always careful to keep its original character. Huth was still calling the shots when he passed away in 2015 at the age of 91, but since then his family continued to operate the track as he did until apparently deciding to sell this year.
