It’s all the rage to offer some kind of alternative broadcast for sporting events, especially football games. Maybe you have the Manning brothers crack-wise, perhaps you transform all the players into toys and have them play in Andy’s room, or maybe you shoot slime cannons after every touchdown and let Patrick Star rag on Russell Wilson.
On Dec. 9, we’re going to be getting another one and this time it will involve characters from the longest-running American scripted primetime television series, The Simpsons.

The New York Yankees lost the first two games of the 2024 World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers in heartbreaking fashion. Game one ended with a historic walk off grand slam hit by Freddie Freeman, and New York had an opportunity to come from behind in game two end with the bases loaded in the ninth inning thanks to an Anthony Volpe strikeout and Jose Trevino flyball.
But with game three shifting the series back to New York, the series was far from over.

‘Round these parts, we like ourselves a good EBUG story, and we’ve got a good one coming to us from an ECHL game over the weekend.
For the uninitiated, EBUG stands for “Emergency Backup Goalie” and it’s a rule in a lot of pro hockey leagues, including the NHL, which allows for teams to dress a goalie on an emergency basis in the event that the two goalies they started the game with are unable to play.

The three-point line has been around for decades at this point, and in recent years, players like Steph Curry and Caitlin Clark have become superstars thanks to their ability to drain threes seemingly at will.

There is arguably nothing more tragic than a parent losing a child – burying a child. And so it’s a terrible time for San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward who is experiencing that sadness.
“We are heartbroken,” Ward said on his Instagram account on Tuesday, which announced Monday’s passing of little Amani Joy.
The little girl would have been two in November.
Ward, in his seventh NFL season, has been a starting cornerback for the 49ers for three seasons. 
But that doesn’t seem to matter right now.

Major League Baseball has an umpiring problem, and once again, it reared its ugly head on the game’s biggest stage. In game three of the 2024 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees, home plate umpire Mark Carlson turned in an atrocious, embarrassing performance. All with tens of millions of people watching around the globe.
In a testament to the power of the MLB Umpire’s Union, Carlson, who ranked in the bottom half of the league’s umpires in 2024, was somehow handed one of the most important assignments of the season.
