Star Trek TNG, S5E22: Riker: Oh hey you're back early. Didn't you have a session with Ensign Sutter kid? Troi: Kid's haunted Riker: What? Troi: *grabbing a phaser and getting back into the turbolift* Kid's haunted 5/10, not terrible, but if you skipped it on the rewatch, you'd miss nothing
For your Sunday reading, I present the craziest year of Utah Stars history. It includes a failed political campaign, multiple lawsuits, a Finals run, drafting the first high schooler (Moses Malone), and two failed attempts to sell the team. sportsandsuperheroes.blogspot.com/2026/08/1974...
1974 Part One: The beginning of the end
What does it mean for your team when the owner decides to run for governor? Well, in the case of the Utah Stars, it meant nothing but bad ne...

Star Trek TNG, S5E21: The galaxy's most eligible bachelorette is on board but the crew isn't allowed to date her. There is no B-plot. 4/10, this feels like a premise Roddenberry would have come up with (derogatory)
The 1974 Utah Stars had everything! An owner running for governor in another state, the team’s best player filing a massive lawsuit against his employer, two failed attempts to sell the team, and drafting the first high schooler in the modern era! sportsandsuperheroes.blogspot.com/2026/08/1974...

Frank Layden had a similar story. Except the ref wouldn’t eject him. He yelled at Layden, “Hey, if I have to watch the rest of this game, then so do you!”

As a fellow 39-year-old, I can assure you that there is no way this man should still be playing hockey. We get injured if we cough the wrong way.

#NewspapersInComics Source: Batman #34 Grade: C- This is an extraordinarily boring headline to stretch across the entire front page. Especially in a town that has Batman and Robin performing heroic feats on a nightly basis.
#NewspapersInComics Source: Batman #34 Grade: D- OK, Gotham City Star! I need you to tone down your excitement just a little bit!
#NewspapersInComics Source: Batman #34 Typical. A celebrity agrees to an exclusive interview, only to complain with how the paper covered him.
There’s no way he’s been playing for 11 years! Why do you tell such lies?
Shams Charania Tweets@shamsbot.bsky.social · 2w agoFree agent Gary Payton II has agreed on a one-year, $3.9 million deal to return to the Golden State Warriors, sources tell ESPN. Payton returns to the Warriors for his seventh year in the Bay Area -- and his 11th NBA season.
#NewspapersInComics Source: Batman #34 I don’t know many newspapers that would be THIS excited by racing news. But their layouts aren’t too bad.
I need to follow some more Jazz fans ahead of the season. Plz send help
Searching my email makes me feel like a crazy person.

#NewspapersInComics Source: Wonder Woman #126 Grade: A- This headline may be a touch over the top, but I think such tactics are warranted on occasion. Mostly I’m impressed with how much work went into making this look like a real newspaper.
It would have been great if LeBron had some sort of TV appearance where he announced his decision. Maybe some kids around for some reason? Probably would have been great TV
I don’t believe Sandy City has been “Serving freedom since 1776”
Ohhh …. So it turns out LeBron saying “trust the process” was actually a clever clue that he would join the 76ers.
The Mammoth signed defenseman John Marino to an eight-year extension ahead of a new rule that will cap future contracts at seven years.
The NHL’s contract rules are changing. The Utah Mammoth just got ahead of them.
