Ah yes, a real alliance! I can't wait until we unveil The Yet-tay! -

Granted, if he spent any time in a Tempe-area nightclub, he’d be positive for several things. -
Apropos of nothing, Hank must prefer the classic silver pants to the greenish silver ones.

Does Scientology have any buildings in AZ? Hosting the Coyotes would be an OK rebound from the Danny Masterson thing. -
No, the Devils should be doubling down on the cup-winning sets and eliminating all alternates. No Scouts, no Rockies, just the team that won three Stanley Cups. Also, I find the Avs doing Hockey Rockies homages better than their awkward Nords design.

If Club Rio was still standing, it wouldn't be a bad place for them. The doucheiest nightclub in Tempe, home of terrible boxing matches and Jake Palmer groping waitresses, would've been perfect for this trash team. -
The Flames finally look like themselves again after all the years with black. They never needed black and nor did the North Stars.

Heck, Phillip Rivers’ biggest stats are his work for the Quiverfull movement (i.e., the Duggars).

There was also the Kingdome! It hosted the Mariners and Seahawks, while also coming apart at the seams and prompting several relocation threats!

I stand by my weird takes, Mike Trout bashing and all. That’s entirely fair, but don’t call him an all-time great when he anonymously compiled stats on a team he knew would struggle to get to .500. At least Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, and the aforementioned pre-playoffs baseball stars could sniff contention on a regular basis. At least those guys had more personality than the milquetoast Mike. Baseball needs somebody compelling like Jeter, Bonds, or even Bryce Harper to be the best player. Even guys like Brady and LeBron, as machine-like as they are, never were the boredom that was Mike Trout. But back to the Rays - Stu seemed so broken-hearted when MLB told him to shove his plan up his intestinum crassum.

Look at his career and his very brief solitary playoff appearance (in the second wild card era). He has played in nearly zero Games That Mattered. Baseball's history would be unchanged if he didn't exist. He should've demanded a trade out of Anaheim or left in free agency, but he didn't have the guts to accept less money to escape the horrible situation that is Arte Moreno's Angels.

Color vs color games that people have forgotten

It was the final NFL game played in St. Louis, by the way. It was a very fitting way to go out. -
It also doesn't help that he's the most boring man in the universe. I'd be all for him having a Lenny Dykstra or Oil Can Boyd-level meltdown if it meant he did something exciting.

I do. What I'm saying is that DC should have gotten an expansion team in the '90s. Therefore, the Expos wouldn't move to DC and would have folded instead.

I beg to differ with the Rockies. Coors Field is the only good stadium for any of the '90s expansion teams (one of the first with open concourses, IIRC) and the market seems fairly engaged with them during brief bits of good play/when the Giants or Dodgers are in town. The only '90s expansion teams that should've happened were Denver and DC, with the Expos and Angels folding in the early-'00s. The A's would then move to Anaheim.

Well, look at the team in between and since those titles. Fire sales immediately following any signs of contention, fans that have never been engaged with the team, and every ownership group doing everything they can to alienate fans. Joe Robbie Stadium was a horrendous baseball venue, only to be replaced by one in a fairly inaccessible part of Miami. Getting rid of the Marlins and giving their stadium to Inter Miami would be a net benefit for MLS and MLB. If we want to fold four teams, I'd suggest tossing in the Diamondbacks and the A's. The Diamondbacks have never been the resounding draw they were initially hoped to be and it'd keep regular-season games out of Spring Training locations.

Getting rid of the Rays and A's sounds like something that should've been done about 20 years ago. Rays and Marlins would also work, to get rid of the flop that was Florida expansion. Marlins Park can become Inter Miami's new stadium!

It’s best to obliterate any ambiguity and force a new sobriquet on the team. Said sobriquet should have been Red Tails.

Well, I guess a cap is better than drinking it with orange Fanta.

You had me sold at “John C. Reilly as Dr. Jerry Buss.”

I’m hoping The Church of Scientology buys the team. It’d be a hilarious ownership saga.

If the ‘Yotes were a kid, they’d be the one who gets banned from every furry convention for “being too smelly” and “rudeness toward convention staff.” -
