    Yup. It was almost that exactly. There’s just something about St. Louis Cardinals fans and this forum. We’ve gotten SO much good content from them over the years. Then we had The Admiral pull a Hannibal Burress on Cosby to that fanbase and I haven’t been able to see them in the same light since.

    It’s also really so hard to explain to someone how difficult it is to find the motivation to go to a hockey game when you’re just constantly soaked in sweat. Theres a vibe to Phoenix, and hockey kind of runs counterintuitive to that.
  3. FiddySicks
    Yeah, but he also posted that at one point, too. I remember that one rather vividly. It was after Josh Hancock drunk texted himself into the back of a parked tow truck, which makes the whole thing even funnier.

    Jets new look is pretty good. For whatever complaints there may be about them, they definitely look better now than they have since at least the early Reebok days (when everything still fit together properly on the original throwbacks and the color didn’t look like pea soup). I barely think about the Jets anyway. I can live with these.

    They are, and cap collectors are taking notice. Back in my 20s I had a bit of a hat collecting problem (spending a decade working for New Era and Lids/GenesCo didn’t help, either), and now have a few hundred old poly US made 59Fiftys. I thought for a long time that it was a waste of money and space, but with the demand going up so heavily on these things (because you literally CANNOT get them in the same quality any longer), it’s actually worth quite a bit of money now. Like, probably MORE than what I initially paid for all of those stupid hats.

    I dunno. The Winnipeg Jets came back in 2011. It’s not like using the name of a team in another league is unheard of this century or anything.

    So, apparently the Coyotes name and brand is staying in Arizona? Not sure how rock solid this source is, though.
  8. FiddySicks
    Wait, does this mean they’re moving immediately now, or still in the off season? EDIT: N/M. I forgot how close to the end of the season we already are.

    Utah and Nevada outside of the southern tip I wouldn’t really consider “southwest” in that sense. It’s the Great Basin, which I wouldn’t put into the same category.

    My condolences.

    Yup. The corporate base is the killer. It’s getting better (I think), but still lags way behind most other markets. As for the lack of expansion to Raley Field (I agree, I’ll never get used to SHP), I’ve actually heard a slightly different story. What I’ve heard was that the idea was tossed around by the construction firm as a potential feature, and the club kinda just ran with it. Put up a sign on the stadium with the expansion renderings and everything. But when they actually looked into the logistics of it, and had a surveyor look at the park, it was determined that the foundation wouldn’t be able to hold it (something to do with the land. It’s basically on an old riverbed).

    Yeah hockey in Phoenix just isn’t gonna happen. It’s been long time to move on.

    I’m totally fine with three helmets. It also makes me slightly less worried about what the Broncos are apparently going to do.
  14. FiddySicks
    Yeah it was like a lot of these attempts to bring teams to Sac. They get amped up, find a face willing to try, and then everyone realizes there isn’t enough of a pot to pull money from, and it falls apart. Even the Kings situation was weird. The NBA wasn’t quite what it is today, and the original building they played in (Arco 1) was a converted office building (which has since been converted back to an office). The whole thing was sort of a smash and grab, which is actually pretty similar to how Vivek is playing the angles here with the A’s. That failed baseball stadium sat and rotted for three decades, and I think is being converted into a medical school.

    The NCAA tournament actually gives me some pause when it comes to expanding the football playoff. We have this huge 64 team tournament where the opening round is usually the top seeds straight thumping the lower seeds, and whenever a lower seed does get through a game or two, they never actually win. The winners are always the same few teams. UConn/Duke/UNC/Whoever has the biggest name recruit/whoever has the top “one and done” coach. Wash, rinse, repeat. It just makes the entire thing feel so bloated and wasteful. I’m kind of starting to wonder if we’re just going to get the same with football. I’ve never really liked the tournament, but I basically checked out when Butler (who is the closest we’ve gotten to a small school winning in SO long) lost two title games to two of the most common champions you could possibly find.
  16. FiddySicks
    I didn’t pay a lick of attention to the mens tourney this year (women’s I flipped on once, maybe twice). Oh. UConn won again what a shocking result to the most boring and overrated sports event on the American calendar. I’ll see myself out.

    Sutter Health Park was also built with the idea that it would some day be expanded into a MLB sized park. Sacramento has low key been vying for a MLB team since at least the year 2000.

    Did Bo do what to the wagon, now?

    I’ve been to hundreds of RiverCats games (including briefly being a mascot for them in high school) and it’s one of my favorite parks in all of baseball. The view of downtown is phenomenal. I can definitely see the comparisons.
  21. FiddySicks
    Hard to agree with this when we have California’s flag in the union.
  22. FiddySicks
    Pipe dream. Especially the retractable roof part. Why is that necessary?
  23. FiddySicks
    Yeah I think that’s ultimately the plan. I don’t think it’s going to work, though. Then Sacramento is going to also be stuck with a huge mess.
  24. FiddySicks
    I’ve thought about this, and while I wish the city could’ve demanded that they changed their name to the Sacramento RiverCats (I get that it’s a crazy and unreasonable idea), them playing a game or two in RiverCats “Throwbacks” would be close enough, and would fulfill one of my oldest sports fantasies.
  25. FiddySicks
    Gross. We don’t want them. All this is going to do is :censored: up the long term viability of the RiverCats. I can’t see them sticking around during this stretch to try and directly compete with a MLB team who shares their field. I’m not even sure the league would allow that, as the RiverCats not only can but absolutely would outdraw the A’s the vast majority of those three years. They’re using this as a “trial run for a MLB team in Sac” and I’m sorry but lol what? They couldn’t even get the soccer team off of the ground and now that’s completely out of reach because of the $500 million expansion fee. And now they want to try and pivot to MLB expansion? sure, Sacramento. This whole thing is a terribly half baked idea put out by the two dumbest sports ownership groups (Kings and A’s) in the state of California.
