Maybe WNBA Detroit could be named Detroit Gorgons for a cool mythic rivalry between the Sirens and the Gorgons.

It's sure going to be confusing when the Cleveland Sirens play against the New York Sirens. Hang on... I'm being told that's never going to happen. Confusion narrowly avoided. How to tell the two teams apart: - different leagues - different sports - different cities - different seasons

Sad news for the industry, and for the Vancouver dev scene in particular. EAC in Burnaby is one of EA's largest studios, develops huge titles like FIFA and NHL, and also supports studios like Respawn with Apex, Star Wars, etc.

"I'm gonna make Gretzky's head bleed for super fan 99 over here." - Trent (Vince Vaughn) from the movie Swingers

'Making Gretzky's head bleed' wasn't so easy for 'Swingers' filmmaker

A great story about Vince Vaughn, video game violence and hockey mockery.

I had hours of fun playing EA Sports video games when I was a kid, especially NHL 94, which is the game that you could injure Wayne Gretzky and watch his legs thrash in agony as he lied on the ice bleeding from his head. I cherish those memories.

I see some people are complaining that the Cleveland #WNBA team has chosen to call itself the Sirens, when there is a team in the #PWHL called the New York Sirens. Different leagues, different sports. It could be worse. The #CFL🇨🇦🏈 at one time had two teams called Roughriders, and Rough Riders.

I prefer this representation of Sirens over the one in the PWHL.

I started listening to the official WPBL podcast and whose voice do I hear? It's the voice of Toronto Mike, who it turns out is producing the podcast.

Detroit Red Wings (Unofficial)@notdetroitredwings.bsky.social · 2d ago

[RT - Jonathan Mills] "Being out there and looking in at the crowd at Comerica Park, it was just such a special moment." Paul Woods, the @DetroitRedWings former captain and longtime radio color analyst, threw out the first pitch at the @tigers game last week. #LGRW | #DNMW

Baby Ruth never existed in the movie Caddyshack. The candy bar wrapper clearly shows that it's called Baby Rut in one shot, and Baby Runt in another.

I would absolutely love it if the Expos returned to MLB but this is an extremely biased analysis considering that the founder of WatchMojo.com is also part of the investors group trying to bring a MLB franchise back to Montreal.

This looks familiar! That's our 4th home run of the night 🔥

Somebody in the #WPBL YouTube chat asked what a balk is and explaining it is proving to be difficult.

The Boston Hunters need to hunt down 9 runs just to tie the game. Down 10-1 in the 4th inning. #WPBL

Amazing snowcone catch by the Boston Hunters outfielder! #WPBL

Somebody else mentioned this and I have to agree that the #WPBL announcers sound like these two. There isn't a single play on the baseball field that they get audibly excited about.

I don't understand the logic of having a full screen for the interviews and then cutting to a third of the screen for game action with a small window of the interview. Leave the game on full screen and have the smaller interview window at the bottom corner. Their priorities are mixed up. #WPBL

The inaugural season of the Women’s Pro Baseball League is underway! Good luck, Hunters! 👊

Almost two home runs. Off by inches. #WPBL

That was a far better rendition of the anthem. Great job! #WPBL

For those of you outside of the U.S., you can watch #WPBL games for free on YouTube. Watch the San Francisco Firebells vs the Boston Hunters. ⚾🧢

Even Canadians got to watch the first season of the PWHL for free on YouTube. You'd think the #WPBL could have at least done the same for U.S. viewers, for its first season.

I feel bad for all the flack that Martha Reeves is getting for the national anthem at yesterday's #WPBL game. I'm not sure why she struggled so much with it but we should remember that she's 85. Here she is when she was at her peak with The Vandellas, singing "Heat Wave."

Maybe the #WPBL should have let "Meadow" from The Sopranos sing the national anthem yesterday. The irony here is that my ears don't feel like they were stabbed with an ice pick. #fuhgeddaboudit

In honor of WPBL opening weekend, a card for the women behind the team names: Lillie Hitchcock Coit (SF Firebells), Dorothy Height (NY Heights), Lizzie Murphy (LA Queens), and Harriot Hunt (Boston Hunters)

I can't decide if this has been the most annoying part of the broadcast, or if it was the singing of the national anthem.

WTF does this say about the priority of the broadcast? There’s a GAME on and they keep cutting away from the game being on less than half of the screen. #WPBL

The #WPBL has just set a record for the most interviews during a game.
