The Scottish fans will never manage to drink us dry. The four nearest breweries in my area alone produce 1159100 litres of beer per week, which is 2041314 pints.

These are just the small breweries in my area. I haven't even counted the Köstritzer Schwarzbier brewery with a 30% market share for black beers in Germany and the 30 other Thuringian breweries, and Thuringia is not one of the really big states in Germany. And it is the English national team that can taste all of these beers because they live in the Blankenhain golf resort.
 
OK, so Canada's Edmonton Oilers are tied with Florida's Panthers for the North American National Hockey League's (many of whose players come from outside North America) championship Stanley Cup in the middle of an early summer heat wave. I guess "climate denial" has been around for a long time. It reminds me of the Jamaican bobsled team in the 1988 winter olympics (the movie is "Cool Runnings").

More like stretching the season out to milk as much money as possible. The 2024-25 season will begin in October, four months from now.
Its not just the NHL. The NBA season pretty much runs at the same time and the championship just ended (it would have gone longer if Dallas had put forth some kind of effort instead of relying on one player). Major League Baseball started in April and the World Series will take place in November.
As far as I can tell, soccer (football to rest of the world) doesn't have a season and is played year round, even in the snow.

Jefferson, Franklin and Adams doubtless engaged in discussions, no doubt some of them heated. But I’ve never been able to wrap my historian trained head around them singing.:facepalm:
 
Back in the 1770s, an organist from Gloucester Cathedral composed a jolly song for a London drinking club - here's the tune, played on the organ he knew (well the case is the same, it's had a few upgrades inside):

It is often played on the organ in ballparks. It is virtually unsingable because of the range of notes. Before a game in Baltimore, someone whistled it.
