Posted by LiveAndLove0-6 that is rough damn cardinalsPosted by AfternoonDelights22Ah I know! I can't wait for the season to start. I was trying to live stream the Mets vs the Cardinals before but again, I fail at the live streaming lol. Spring training and they're already 0-6. Good start to the season lol.
These dang NHL PLayoffs really need to get here already
But man am I hyped up for baseball season too @LiveAndLove
Love baseball though. It's my favorite sport to watch ⚾️??

Posted by tizianiDamn that is a lot!Posted by AfternoonDelights22Just looked at the Premier League/Football League winning history here and 32 out of the last 46 seasons have been won by a team wearing red since 1970 - Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest in particular. I counted Aston Villa even though they wear claret.Posted by tizianiThats pretty weird
The red advantage:

The original source from Durham University:

and off the top of my head seems to ring pretty true for american teams. The only color I can think of that als wins fairly consistently is black/dark blue
The other colour that pops up a lot seems to be white, out of what's left. Then blue.click to expand

Posted by LiveAndLovecubs have a bunch of ties thus far theyre like 1-2-2Posted by AfternoonDelights22True lol. I think they're 3-3 so far with the training. How are your Cubs doing?Posted by LiveAndLove0-6 that is rough damn cardinalsPosted by AfternoonDelights22Ah I know! I can't wait for the season to start.

Posted by GetMistedlmao Ill take it if it helps themPosted by AfternoonDelights22I could see the Cowboys in red I guessPosted by tizianiThats interestingPosted by AfternoonDelights22Same over here in the UK.Posted by tizianiuhohPosted by AfternoonDelights22Oh yeah? I haven't picked up on that, I don't think.
You know @Tiziani some how the lazio and roma colors really fit this rivalry. I cant explain why
And jeez they just scored.
I think its a red vs blue thing
At least here in america growing up the competition of peoples favorite colors was always red versus blue
And they did some kind of study a while back about how red gives teams a psychological winning advantage. Not sure if it was proven bs or held up.
I can see it with The Cardinals in Baseball and Redwings and Blackhawks in hockey as winning teams that wear redclick to expand

Posted by tizianiIt seems as tho half the teams in the NHL have some red tho more than half have at least some black
I'm not sure if it's covered in the research there but here it's mentioned it's disproportionate:
"In an article published in the Journal of Sports Sciences in early 2008, Hill and Barton expanded their analysis to include the teams of England's Premier League from 1947 to 2003. Their statistical analysis determined that football teams wearing red had a disproportionately higher rate of both winning home games and securing the title than teams wearing either yellow or orange. The findings were unequivocal: Three out of the four most successful English clubs donned red jerseys for home games: Manchester United ("The Red Devils"), FC Liverpool ("The Reds") and FC Arsenal. "
I'm assuming that means they accounted everything but I'd have to look more into it.

Nice, I like those.
So the sports world is obsessed with red and black lolclick to expand


Posted by GetMisteddiePosted by AfternoonDelights22-.-
@-elle- even tho this tag may not work
Your team has not played 50 games and is playoff eligible and technically doesnt have to play anymore if you didnt want to but it does need to be in the top 4/5 at the end of the season to make the playoffs. The most games a team can play is 80.click to expand

Posted by LiveAndLoveit is definitely 100 percentPosted by AfternoonDelights22Good offense makes or breaks the game. What I love about baseball is that's it's a mind sport.Posted by LiveAndLovecubs have a bunch of ties thus far theyre like 1-2-2Posted by AfternoonDelights22True lol.

Rockies are scoring it up tho. On paper they should have a mighty offense and so far so good in spring training.

Posted by LiveAndLoveThere could have/should have been 75 more cubs moments in that video lolPosted by AfternoonDelights22I loved the moment where the Indians go the World Series. I'm totally gonna pick on my son with that O'rieles moment where the Blue Jays got the best of them, lol. I'm a mean person ☹️ Not really ❤❤

Posted by GetMistedIll assume this is your concession to be a blues fan over a blackhawks fan
Blackhawks can suck Blackcocks

Posted by GetMistedlmao smhPosted by AfternoonDelights22Still undecided.Posted by GetMistedIll assume this is your concession to be a blues fan over a blackhawks fan

OMG PUT IT IN THE GOAL FFS

Posted by tizianiDont know if sexual innuendo or football fanPosted by GetMistedWhat my ex used to say 😢

Posted by GetMistedYour try and lose strategy was better for winning
Can't catch a freakin break this season -_-

Posted by NotSoInstantyes but barely
Still 6th place? 😢

Posted by GetMistedwell least they were not scored on
Took 12 minutes before NY finally got a shot on goal -.-

Posted by GetMistedMaple Leafs I want to say
@AfternoonDelights22
Who's leading the league in PP goals?

Posted by GetMistedLooks like Rangers are in the bottom half of power play goalsPosted by AfternoonDelights22Was looking for the team.Posted by GetMistedMaple Leafs I want to say

or do you mean player? idk off the top of my head
I can't be a fan of a team that can't capitalize.click to expand


Posted by tizianiYeah I do like Ovechkin but damn Washington keeps getting richer. They won at the trade deadline out of anyone
I thought Ovechkin would be up there because he always is.

Posted by GetMistedYeah you know thats a pretty good comparisonPosted by AfternoonDelights22A team not being able to score on a power play gives me the same feeling as when a team can't score in the red zone in football.Posted by GetMistedLooks like Rangers are in the bottom half of power play goalsPosted by AfternoonDelights22Was looking for the team.Posted by GetMistedMaple Leafs I want to say

Boston is 13th
As far as single players shocking 2 Flyers players are atop the PP Goal list in Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds
ovechkin from Capitals in 3rdclick to expand

Posted by GetMistedYeah especially because its hard enough to get 3 people on base in a few innings let alone all at the same time so you have to capitalize on those bases loadedPosted by AfternoonDelights22Bases loaded with no outs and can't score in the inning. That's such a large statistical advantage. Put one over the head of the infield or split the bases and you'll get a run in. FrustratingPosted by GetMistedYeah you know thats a pretty good comparisonPosted by AfternoonDelights22A team not being able to score on a power play gives me the same feeling as when a team can't score in the red zone in football.Posted by GetMistedLooks like Rangers are in the bottom half of power play goalsPosted by AfternoonDelights22Was looking for the team.Posted by GetMistedMaple Leafs I want to say

Or when bases are loaded in baseball and the team scores zero runs. Thats the fucking worstclick to expand


Posted by tizianiI gotta turn this one on
Lol @ punching the dude in the jaw just because you're frustrated at your own blatantly crap offside pass
facepalm @ Montreal right now

Posted by tizianiwell I hope it explodes in the 3rd when I get to watch lolPosted by AfternoonDelights22It's a weird game. There's not much to say of anything, because really not much has happened. Yet there's some weird tension boiling underneath just waiting to boil over.Posted by tizianiI gotta turn this one on

Posted by GetMistedmusic to my ears
Wild going down

Posted by GetMistedThey must be finding some heart
Cannot believe they just came back from that lol

Posted by tizianirofl
They'll screw up next time









Posted by tizianiWow that's crazy. And that has to be embarrassing cuz that's a lot of years worth of football history :/
@AfternoonDelights22 remember that percentage chart where historically going into a second leg with a 4-0 victory was a proven 100% chance at winning the tie?
Well Barcelona just overturned a 0-4 deficit last night to win the tie 6-5 on aggregate, with a massive helping hand from the refs it has to be said, but first time in European football history.
