    Hasn't San Francisco become Poop City? No one's saying the Giants should move. Bay Area income inequality is really something else. I'm not really wowed by the Sox stadium. I'm a traditionalist, and the Sox have played on 35th Street for 115 years. I don't really want that to change.

    BUT THE ALIGNMENT (if Quebec pulled a 2011 Jets and stayed put for a bit, they'd be a better time zone fit than the hybrid Pacific/Mountain Phoenix. The frozen-water league has too many teams on the arid half of the continent)

    Whatever Oakland's problems may be, and they're similar to the many other American cities besieged by feral/antisocial behavior, I still believe there's no better place for them and that the league and union should do everything they can to keep them in the East Bay, up to and including throwing money at the Giants to claw back the "territorial rights" that don't have a right to exist. Here's hoping common sense prevails. "Disband the team for three years," go to hell.

    It's only gotten worse since

    Are you saying that crime and antisocial behavior have not skyrocketed in American cities over the past four years?

    Bill that may try to bring Chicago Bears new stadium to northwest Indiana gets update Hurry up and get it over with, just bring on the facebook dads from Crown Point talking about lower taxes, come on, I have a lot to do this week.

    This is getting too fanciful. The Bears aren't leaving. They're just going to make a complete hash out of building a stadium like they did 20 years ago. Remember that the Bears' small stadium is by design. They wanted a more select audience at games because these new-money bohunk-micks think they're Mayflower stock and that the Bears are a luxury brand. Didn't work; even with lower supply and more luxury boxes, Soldier Field is still full of fat loud morons. And I think it's also important to remember that in the new Soldier Field, the Bears got everything they wanted, made the rest of us pay for it, and now are already doing it again.

    "We need help navigating the sui generis rat's nest that is Chicago politics, the same that we thought ourselves too high-minded to engage with for 40 years. The person who will help us: the dolt from the Big Ten office who sold nonexistent broadcast rights. He has what it takes." But maybe I shouldn't say that. He also took credit for closing a Minneapolis real estate deal involving a Minneapolis real estate baron. They couldn't have done it without him. I expect him this week to publicly kick the tires on Northwest Indiana and activate an even dumber and redder subphylum of Exurban Hooting Rube than the one activated by talk of Arlington Heights.

    I wish the floors were a bit more colorful. All that black is kind of dismal, especially if the arenas are going to keep the house lights down. Is there a functional reason that they have to be black?

    I mean, I guess someone with money asked after the possibility of expansion and the league listened. Every now and then we hear about Louisville poking around the NBA, too. Omaha could have been a passable one-team town in the NBA at one time given the lack of Great Plains presence and the relative irrelevance of Huskers basketball, but Oklahoma City sort of took care of that instead. The Grizzlies or New Orleans Hornets could have moved there instead and made it work, is what I'm saying. The NHL? Ehh. Doesn't excite me. Feels like an old IHL market. It's Kansas City's Grand Rapids.

    Going off memory alone I would have sworn they were Impact or Compacta. I don't know how we did it either.
  15. The_Admiral
    Yeah, Halifax is a reach for a number of reasons, but Quebec City would be a greater success than the fool's gold (Atlanta, SLC, Houston) and just plain foolishness (Omaha, Cincinnati) on that list.
  16. The_Admiral
    Now the Bears are asking for Arlington Park to be taxed as residential property instead of commercial property so that they can pay a lower tax rate. What are they going to do to make this case, ask Jeff Joniak to sleep in a stable?
  17. The_Admiral
    Yeah, I'm sure there's a similar one-way flow with Cleveland and Akron. I wouldn't put an NHL team there, either. Columbus really precludes both, which I'm sure was indirectly part of the idea: neither market can 100%-for-sure sustain a team, but be Ohio's Team and pull secondary support from both. Honestly would have been smooth sailing had Ohio State not built an identical arena down the street.
  18. The_Admiral
    Quebec City is conspicuous by its absence on that list. Are they poking around the Coyotes, have they completely given up, or has Bettman stopped returning their calls? "ohhh dur dur dur they're not economically viable" stfu, we're sitting here talking about Omaha

    Just put together a whole roster of guys named Ryker, Clorgyn, Krylan, and Sclarktyn, which is honestly easier than it should be, and don't stop the people of southern Idaho from making inferences.

    I remember local hero @Sport pointing out that the Cincinnati and Dayton metros have basically merged into one agglomeration. Not a lot of separation between Cincinnayton and Columbus, which itself keeps sprawling. None at all, really. I've always said Cincinnati just intuitively feels like an NHL town more than Columbus does, and would have had the benefit of not having a big-time college arena down the street from its own, but there's no way you can have both towns in the league at the same time.

    Sounds like the usual City Connect trifecta. I wouldn't have two red-based teams in the northeast start dressing as the Swedish national team but I just work in marketing and post on this board.

    "Turner Broadcasting" as Atlanta institution barely exists in any meaningful way. It's basically just a branch office of Warner and has been for years. CNN is run out of Washington and New York, and the other channels are just reruns and sports.

    Fisher is burning baseball in an active shared market, a potential future market, and a third longshot-potential market. How hard can it be to get him on a hot mic saying that black guys smell like weed so that he can be forced to sell the team? Fake it with AI if you have to, I don't care. Make the son of a :censored: deny it.
