I was really looking forward to an LCS recap and Game 7 preview, because everyone knows that Game 7s are the best things in sports, unless your team is involved, then it's a monumental stress ball. But the only offense that came out of New York was the fans pelting noted

Ah yes, the matchup that most people care about but also absolutely despise, those fuckers vs. those cheating fuckers. "Hooray!" said almost nobody outside of New York and Texas.

Yes, I'm sure that by the time this posts it'll be old news, but they dropped the uniforms for this year's All-Star Game (originally in Atlanta but moved to Denver because Georgia doesn't want to let those people vote, and by those people we mean people who normally vote Democratic
