Thank Christ that the 2019 offseason is finally over. What consumed most of Leafs fans’ consciousness this summer was the whole Mitch Marner show. How many other teams have had their star RFA, his agent and his dad publicly beat the pulp out of their GM? All the while watching every other RFA imagine-able sign a more “team-friendly” deal. Say

The Round-Up John Tavares Toronto Maple Leafs St. Pats 😍😍 pic.twitter.com/2VS7M7NmQa — burg (@adamburgess__) March 14, 2019 Any other week this would’ve won Jersey of the Week. This is by far the strongest field of submissions that I’ve had so unfortunately it falls into the category of the “also ran”. If I was a complete Leafs homer I would’ve named

The Round-Up The Brendan Ballantyne pic.twitter.com/6yigCwm6hW — Chris P. Bacon (@Ashlar_YE) March 7, 2019 While you won’t find this on Fanatics best sellers list, I think it’s safe to say that Ballantyne has the most jersey sales in the Brock intramural basketball circuit. Anyone willing to put this puppy on their credit card is clearly a fan of funky jump-shooting

The Round-Up Nick Foles Philadelphia Eagle JerseySubmitted by Joey Hasson Well the Nick Foles era is officially over in Philly… for now. Big Dick Nick and the Eagles are like football’s Ross and Rachel. They’re just on a break. If this really is curtains for Foles in Philly, you really have to pour one out for one of the most
