SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
I've finally gotten around to updating this:
It's a list of the last player to play for every now defunct/moved team in MLB history, and the last player ALIVE for some really old franchises/teams.
Bartolo Colon remains the last Expo standing, and there are only 5 remaining living Boston Braves (1876-1952) players.

I will never understand American college sports. From an outsider's point of view, it looks like everyone (coaches, players, administrators) seems to be involved in some kind of sex scandal or a cover up.
It's almost as if it's Rugby League.

If you imagine it like the Catholic Church, except even more sanctimonious for even less reason, you'll be halfway there.

Colombia Day today and the Colombians were a little excited on the Tour.
Eventually, one of the moto riders had had enough.
