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.

This has all the makings of Steve Ballmer, Cocaine Genius

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.

holy f--k holy f--king f--k that overlong mumblerap song of yours is absurd

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.

Carolina Hurricanes II: Gettin' Hurricanier

Seems like Salt Lake City and Las Vegas should both be expansion locations while keeping the A's in Oakland. What a completely embarrassing situation.

Oh god they did the New York Knicks City Never Sleeps jersey but worse.

SAY THE LINE,BART! ...we live in a culture of working the refs

I envy your mental health, and you're right about the 16/17 Penguins being a good comp.

Nope, very real The John Fox era was supposed to symbolize a steady hand on the wheel and a commitment to the basics and all that but that was when I really felt "man, this team's just gonna be bad forever."

lol, you thought people were being annoying about Taylor Swift being a Pentagon psyop, try a team owned by the guy from THE CARLYLE GROUP

Either the second/last Trestman year or the first John Fox year. Take your pick: the Packers blowout on Sunday night or the Seahawks game where they punted on every possession. At one of those points they crossed the line that divides man and bum.

A tradition that the Minnesota Wild crapped all over with their captain-of-the-month-club concept. Even two is pushing it.

Don't forget the Bears, who supposedly got this parting gift of the #1 pick from Lovie Smith and turned it into one of the most incompetent starts to a season I've ever seen while the Texans absolutely warp-sped past them in their rebuild. They outclassed more of the league than not.

You skipped a step: they all became die-hard Ravens fans first and then they pivoted to saying that if you don't support Taylor Swift cooking the planet so that she can larp as a high school senior from Denton, Texas, you hate all women.

I've seen people say "Oh, this Super Bowl is going to be TERRIBLE for conservatives!" No, it's terrible for liberals: one team's logo used to be an Indian plastered over five Republican states, and the other one has a white guy at running back.

Getting way off topic here but it's of interest to me that part of the downfall of the church has been the centralization from ward-based, stake-based communities to a bunch of MBAs in a skyscraper in Salt Lake City dictating everything for everyone. Part of that is that everyone has to follow a standardized design for meetinghouses which, yes, has the goofy-ass basketball court that's also a wedding hall, but is also a bland McArchitecture that strips any sort of local input away and maximizes efficiency while minimizing construction costs. I don't think they carpet the floors anymore but they do carpet the walls. I assume some descendant of Joseph Smith is in the carpet wholesaling business or something.

What if everything you ever wanted... CAME IN A ROCKET CAN

I forgot who pointed it out on Twitter but it was that for all the talk of the Ravens' organizational excellence under their 15th-year coach or whatever, the team on the field is a bunch of certified dum-dums when it matters most. IQ leaks all over the place here, I guess.

yo ass so big I heard you fulfilled three Rooney Rules

Yeah, but they're all in southern Alberta, which is a hotbed. The WHL produces all sorts of Albertans named Jaxxsyn, Huntzmin, and Crambon, but for some odd reason they aren't Mormons. It's a small market that already has one very well-entrenched team playing a sport that's well-entrenched in the church. Resources are finite and I just don't know how you make Salt Lake City a two-sport town with the two sports running concurrently, especially when one is basketball.
