We are not your average sports news platform. We don’t care if you think a triple-double is a west-coast burger or if a hat trick involves pulling a rabbit out of one. Does a “flea flicker” sound more like an improvement on the fly swatter or a trick play in football? Is “icing” only something that belongs on dessert or a hockey violation? We hope to answer these questions and many more.

• phrase of the day ___ Fringe fan is just a nickname for a certain kind of causal fan of all sports in general or even just specific sports: a fan, yes, but on the fringe. On the other end of the spectrum, there are the sports junkies. We all know a sports junkie: someone who lives, breaths, eats, sleeps and drinks sports almost nonstop. Somewhere in between, there’s the classic sports fan. We all know one of these as well or are one: people that enjoy watching everything from basketball to curling on TV and love highlights but don’t really keep up with every detail in the sports world. Fringe fans, on the other hand, are people who would like to join in with their coworkers chatting about football but get overwhelmed by the idea. Fringe fans would like to understand what’s going on in hockey but just never got around to figuring it out. In some ways, we are all fringe fans. You can be a soccer junkie and still be a fringe fan of basketball. Maybe you know everything about football, but what about ice dancing? If you’re ready for a completely new sports experience, then share it, follow it, tweet it or like it. Have any requests for a story? Drop us a line. Sports terminology you want to know about? Let us know. ___ “We are all fringe fans!”

• phrase of the day • we still have sports jargon even though we don’t currently have sports ___ “Can’t wait you get back out there with my starting five after this quarantine is over”

• phrase of the day ___ A Monday morning quarterback is a person who passes judgment on and criticizes something after the event and can be used in a similar way to “hindsight is 20/20.” The phrase refers to the fact that on Monday mornings, die-hard NFL fans tend to eagerly dissect every play and on-field move from games played on Sunday afternoon and evening with the benefit of hindsight. ___ “Everybody loves his column but he is a typical Monday-morning quarterback. He tells everyone what should have been done after things have already happened”
