What about an old uniform? I have not trained TKD in over 15 years, but I still have my old doboks.

Vegas will make the playoffs and it looks like Hertl could be ready to play as soon as Monday. If he fits in well, and they get Stone back, they are going to be a dangerous team in the playoffs.

I thought that the A's leaving could increase attendance as a farewell this season, but the fans are so fed up with ownership that attendance might drop even further. I don't blame them, ownership ruined that team. I wouldn't spend a penny on them either. I am a full believer in being a bandwagon fan, no reason to give my time and money to some millionaires and billionaires who are not providing a decent product. I root for the same teams, but I don't put time or money into them when they stink year after year,

The Miami Marlins stink. They are 0-9. The only team in MLB yet to win a game.

The win streak ended at eight. Dallas lost to Chicago on Saturday. Toronto and Edmonton have now clinched playoff spots. Though not official it looks like St. Louis will come up short, meaning that Vegas, LA, and Nashville would all get in.

An absurd meltdown by the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday in Arizona. Vegas had a 4-1 lead after two periods and Arizona outscored them 6-0 in the third, including scoring four goals on four consecutive shots, winning 7-4. I have never seen anything like it. Vegas plays in Vancouver on Monday, and then in Edmonton. I'd expect them to come back strong after this fiasco.

Minnesota lost 5-2 to Colorado tonight. I don't know if the Wild are mathematically eliminated yet, but they are eliminated. The Penguins are having a late season surge and beat Washington tonight, Penguins now could slide into the playoffs, only two points out of the eight seed. Capitals are in a late season tailspin having lost four in a row. Winnipeg Jets have clinched a playoff spot, so four teams in the east and four in the west are in, with four teams in the east and four teams in the west still to be decided.

I'm still going to wear my aloha shirt.

News today that the Oakland A's are moving after the season...to Sacramento. The A's lease with the stadium in Oakland ends after this year and the stadium in Las Vegas won't be ready to open until 2028, so the A's will play three years at a AAA ballpark in Sacramento. John Fisher is a disgrace. The A's owner, in my opinion, tanked the team on purpose to set up to move into a new stadium funded by taxpayer money so some billionaires can get richer. Vegas locals did not get to vote on the stadium, yet they are stuck paying for it. How many people who are paying for the stadium can't afford to attend the games? Raiders owner Mark Davis had some unkind words about John Fisher and was not interested in welcoming the A's to Las Vegas. This is a dark day for Oakland sports and MLB. Absolutely appalling. Though it might be interesting to see how this impacts attendance for the rest of the season. One thing I am confident of, it will be a miserable season in Oakland both on and off the field.

Well, I ordered the PPV and the card is only ten days away. Any thoughts? Anyone else going to watch it? Edit: Forgot to mention that if you are interested in buying the PPV you can save ten dollars if order it before April 8.

Is this an April fools post?

Long time. Congratulations.

That is too bad about the Tropicana. It's an iconic Vegas casino. I agree!! Las Vegas will be known as the city that brought 2 major sports that might not ever win their respective championships that have/are built/building billion-dollar stadiums. Is that money well spent?? At least the Knights and the Aces brought championships to Las Vegas in their short history for Sin City in borrowed arena's. The Aces home games are played at the Michelob Ultra Arena and the Knights home games are played at the T-Mobile Arena. Both are multi-purpose indoor arena's. GO YANKEES!! Vegas sure became a sports town fast. It wasn't that long ago that leagues wanted to stay away from sports gambling all together, now it is advertised during the games. It seems that changed when major sports leagues came to Vegas, the Knights and Raiders. As far as the A's, will moving to Vegas and a new stadium mean they spend more money on the roster? 1.5 billion (is it taxpayer money?) to build a stadium and tear down an iconic Vegas location, I'd hope they would do more to improve the team. The A's lost more games than any team in major league baseball last year.

Dye them. Get a plastic bucket at the dollar store, pick a color you often test for (yellow, blue, green), dye them then hang them somewhere to dry (outside is better so it doesn't drip on your floor). Give them away to students that test. Costs you little, makes students happy. Don't put them in the dryer or they'll shrink. I had not considered this. Hmmmm. Might be an idea to run with.

It will happen for ya, it will.

Minnesota pulled the goaltender in overtime again and this time it did not work as Vegas scored an empty net goal to win 2-1. Because Minnesota pulled the goalie in OT and lost, they forfeit the overtime point, so they get zero standing points for this game. It pretty much puts a fork in the Wild for this season. They have less than a 2 percent chance of making the playoffs now. I do think it is the correct call to pull the goalie. One point does not help Minnesota enough to count, they needed two, so the risk is worth it. It worked against Nashville, did not work today. Dallas has clinched a playoff spot, the first team in the West to do so this year. It is going to be exciting down the stretch as the playoffs are only three weeks away! Edit: Colorado and Vancouver are now also in the playoffs, and Austin Matthews scored his 60th goal of the season, making it the second time in three years he has reached 60.

That is too bad about the Tropicana. It's an iconic Vegas casino.

The Arizona Diamondbacks started the new season strong, winning their opening game over Colorado by a score of 16-1.

Minnesota won but so did Vegas so the Wild did not gain any ground. Minnesota needs to gain two points on Vegas when they play Saturday. Boston, Florida, and Carolina are now in the playoffs. No teams in the west have clinched yet.

I have no idea why I care about this fight or why I am rooting for Tyson, but I am and I am. Is there a rivalry between Paul and Tyson? What is the point of this fight? The entire thing just feels like a big money grab. Why else is a near 60-year-old man getting into a boxing ring with a 27-year-old?

Thank you, thank you.

New York Rangers have clinched a playoff spot.

There are several BJJ schools in my city. That will be why the purple belt's class is quiet then! Unless they are a big name competitive bjj guy / mma fighter, if there are other schools then most people will gravitate to the more senior ones Makes sense.

A few minutes ago I got promoted to green belt. On KarateForums.com

When I take a pair of jeans out of the wash (I hang dry them) and they are dried, I shake them out, up and down, back and fourth, I grab them by the waste and move them with my hands like I was walking. I zig and I zag. It tends to make them feel softer and not as tight, more comfortable on the first wear. Never tried this with my Gi so I have no idea if it would help or not.
