Canadian hip-hop legend Choclair wrote his famous (in Toronto, anyway) line "like Carter did to Philly..." Except of course he was referencing Joe Carter's double home run to win the World Series. So what if another Carter did it to another Philly? Vince Carter, Air Canada, Toronto legend...

Tommy Dreamer, no joke, admitted he planned to do this. This wasn't a joke by him, he genuinely could've done it. The reason I kept this out of the fandom thread was that, well, not only is this a WI but it also would've definitely affected how the country would see sports entertainment.

East Coast college football has been irrevlent since the Big East fully broke up its football conference and became the American in 2013. No traditional East Coast team has made the College Football Playoff(unless you count Ohio State), with Cincinnati trying to become the first team from the...

With the Olympics underway in Tokyo, Japan, this has been something I’ve been thinking about. The modern Olympics began in 1896 as hosted by Athens, Greece. But, what if there modern international Olympics Games began earlier? Of course there were the Zappas Olympics in Greece in 1859, 1870...

Baseball. Before World War 2 it was considered to mainly be a game for Americans. Some foreigners just believed it to be a game that foolish Americans played with sticks. But it was a cultural mainstay in America. Almost any part of America had intertwined in some way with baseball. But a...

Hello, some of you fine folks of this website might recognize me as that sports TL guy who can’t finish about half of them. Due to real life activities, especially nowadays, lack of interest or just my creative ADHD making me begin the shiny new idea as soon as it pops in my head, but getting...

Hello! Welcome to a thread I created for myself to explore and inhabit my strange fascination with sports. I initially contemplated so many times to start up my own threads to start a timeline, but instead of always starting and creating dead threads, I would just make my own where I can dump...
