    At least the two Charger alts can get alt helmets now to actually have them historically accurate color-wise.

    Considering that the Athletic was reporting on the $#!+ show that is the Coyotes front office three years ago, employees should have seen this coming for a long time and had their resumés updated.

    It's disingenuous to use the Coyotes as an example of being a pillar of prudent use of public funds when they were literally evicted from their previous arena for, amongst other things, failing to pay taxes.

    Los Angeles Kings/Kansas City; Kansas City-Omaha; Sacramento Kings New York Rangers/Texas Rangers New York Jets/Winnipeg Jets Carolina Panthers/Florida Panthers New York Giants/San Francisco Giants St. Louis Cardinals/Arizona Cardinals Kansas City Royals/Cincinnati Royals (defunct) Edmonton Oilers/Houston Oilers (defunct) There's enough precedent.

    That's probably more related to the expansion talks that have been ongoing. I think all the rumors are aligning right now for the Coyotes to be SLC or bust at this point and Smith probably already has a handshake agreement. Of course, the interesting wrinkle in all of this is Seravelli's speculation that Meruelo's going to sell the team and still build the arena in hopes of getting a Browns deal. Considering how much red tape that they need to cut through that's probably the only real option lest the Coyotes stay in the Mullet until 2031.

    You keep harping on this. The announcement just confirmed what had already been baked into the conditions of the auction. Again, it's confirmation that Meruelo can't crawl the Scottsdale to save a few million dollars by saving on two miles of utility conduit. It's also a warning shot that you can expect Scottsdale to get their lawyers involved due to the impacts it's going to be experiencing.
  8. LMU
    You assume that was always the plan. The Mayor flat out said in his statement that the auction must specify that all utilities come from Phoenix so he’s flat out stating that saving millions of dollars by hooking up across the street is off the table. Also, you can’t just put a major development on a shared road with another city and tell them to pound sand. If that off-ramp isn’t completely upgraded Scottsdale is fully within their rights to take Phoenix to court since their infrastructure will be impacted by the increased traffic.

    Because the arena is across the street from Scottsdale and the site, being a vacant patch of sand, will need to have nearly two mile-long sewers and water mains built as a result, plus the team will still be on the hook for completely reconfiguring a highway offramp that serves Scottsdale being as how the whole complex is right across the street.

    I'll also go mod here and state this: there's a multiquote feature. Stop flooding these threads with 7 rapid fire posts in a row. You can get your irrational hatred out just as easily in a single reply.

    Points like this get lost in the A's/Coyotes comparisons. The Coyotes had to downgrade to a gimmicky arena meant for college kids that they had to build a temporary annex to bring up to code. The A's get an immense upgrade in atmosphere combined with functioning plumbing.

    It’s also a product of early specialization. Kids no longer are jumping from baseball to basketball to soccer. Now they jump from high school season to travel ball season.

    Blizzards meets the quota of Zees/Zeds in a Utah team name so that checks. Although, something to be said for the southwest and teams naming themselves after a lower-ranked version of their closest rival. Already Kings? Throw in the Knights next door. Already a team named for snow rolling down a hill? Name the team after snow falling from the sky.

    The only thing that this has over the UFL 1.0 is that the teams at least have their own colors and not all variations of gray/blue/neon green.

    Nothing says “unapologetically Philly” like wearing black and blue, the colors your skin turns after getting in a fist fight in the stands at the Vet in 1987.

    Cool, so now both California AL teams, both of which beginning with A, are going to be downplaying their location.

    For the record, the chef’s kiss of the Iowa/LSU game was that the PA announcer sounded like the reincarnation of Howard Finkel.

    Agreed. This is apples and oranges to the Cleveland deal. The Browns were born in Cleveland and were a symbol of Cleveland when the deal was made. The A's are in their third stop. Oakland demanding the name stay there is ignoring the history in KC and Philly and demanding that the colors stay is ignoring that the colors, granted starting out much brighter, were a KC product before the team moved into the Coliseum.

    Most of us civilians aren't aspiring to enter the halls of fame of our respective professions so yes, that's perfectly fine.

    Banks and Trout are apples and oranges. One was forced to remain on the same team, the other clearly saw how inept ownership was and still took a hometown discount to stay. If you go era by era, you can’t fault Banks but you certainly can fault Trout. And sure, enjoy the lifestyle and lack of interesting meteorological phenomena that pique your interest but don’t expect that to help your legacy as a player.

    I'd be honesty shocked if they don't postpone at least one Dodger game this weekend as rare as postponements are here. Imagine people trying to navigate that parking lot in a downpour.
