BOF Posted September 3, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2013 They've started saying "Baltimore vs Denver" to mean "Baltimore @ Denver" now. Totally confusing. Anyway, roll on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, roll on Thursday.That's always been a fairly common thing in US sports. As long as you remember that it's away-team first you're OK (though it's about 50/50 now as to whether a given MLS media outlet does home first or away first...).

As long as you remember that it's away-team first you're OK (though it's about 50/50 now as to whether a given MLS media outlet does home first or away first...). That's my point. "@" is unambiguous. "vs" could be anything and with certain sports deciding which way to use it, the fan is left none the wiser. I'm used to America being different for the sake of being different but they usually make sense while they're at it. This doesn't. Maybe I should be in the TTPYOTS thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted September 3, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 3, 2013 It comes from baseball, which is where much that is odd about American sport comes from. Away team bats first (thus giving an advantage to the home team) and thus gets listed first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 3, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2013 I understand. Although I'd have thought that with baseball being a sport steeped in tradition that this recent 'vs' phenomenon in things like the NFL wouldn't have been so recent.

leviramsey Posted September 3, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 3, 2013 vs has at least as long a pedigree as @... actually I think it's older. I only really started using @ when I posted here, really.really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted September 5, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 5, 2013 Think the Broncos win by about 7, but think there's value in the Ravens to win outright (27/10 can be had). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
