I'd love to see Portland if they were called the Ray-Bans.

"Somebody has to be last"?

Wow. That is, unfortunately, about the most coherent rationalization of the Rays' pathetic attendance I've ever read. Which means it's long past time to move this team.

When said attendance isn't terrible it most certainly is...

18,000+ a game despite their stadium challenges is not terrible by any measure. We're not talking the 7,500 a game the Expos were getting in 2001 which was and remains truly terrible. That was more than enough justification for moving the Expos. 18,000+ in Tampa is not.

18,000 per game for a perennial playoff team with competent management is horrible.

7,500 per game for a franchise that was intentionally sabotaged by Selig and that crook Loria with constant threats of contraction and relocation hanging over them still sucks, but is more understandable

I agree.

About NJ, how about...HELL NO. I'd probably put Portland, SLC, Vegas, Tampa (by that I mean putting them downtown), and St. Petersburg ahead of NJ.

Yikes admiral, that's harsh.

Florida's only averaging an 82.2%.

Should we rename this topic, "NHL Merry-Go-Round?"

Just saying.

Who are you?

A human being. I think.

Did the Barclays ever have a chance to succeed? The people of Brooklyn must have been angry when that thing was built.

I think I stumbled across that doc once on TV.

The NFL needs a team whose primary/home jersey is yellow.

while I don't disagree with the sentiment, who would it be? An expansion team? Or an existing team that has a form of yellow/gold in their color template like the Chargers, Chiefs, Steelers, Packers, or Redskins? I cant think of one of them looking good in that.

I think they would look good in a yellow jersey.

Also, I agree with your Mr. Nascar, Pittsburgh should bring back the old alts.

Gray facemasks suck. That's a popular opinion.

Maryland will be gone by the time The Ville joins.

They'd wind up at UConn, Boston College, or Providence (basketball only)

Portland can do better than Markham for sure. And also, where the hell is Salt Lake City?

Portland and Seattle coexisted perfectly in the NBA. They coexist perfectly in the MLS.

I don't see the problem.

First off, Hamilton, Markham, Saskatoon, and Kansas City before Seattle & Portland? What's going through your mind? The Whalers name going to a city not bordered by an ocean and it being the Panthers and not the Hurricanes?

Ugh. I want to avoid insults. You need to work on your markets. Also, Canes will move before Columbus.

I thought he had a chance of moving the team to Quebec City or Seattle seeing he has no ties to Miami..

then he bought Sunrise.

I want this ass on a silver platter by 2020.

I wouldn't contract the D-Backs or the Marlins. Why would you contract teams with WS?

Better yet, put the Mariners and Angels back in the AL.

That is an awful policy. I want to join HFBoards to troll now.

and HFboards is already deleting posts critical of the commercial, of course they are

LOL. Are they Phoenix....I mean Arizona Coyotes fans there?

I'm betting that that name will have no impact whatsoever, IMO.

On the subject of possible Quebec NHL identities,

So does this mean no teams will move in the near future?

Let's hope they get the Panthers or the Winter Olympics. What's the Panthers' lease anyways?

Yikes. I didn't want to use this year's attendance to back up my statement, but this situation isn't going to clean up.

So, you didn't want to use relevant facts to back up something you said. Makes sense.

It's not that the facts weren't irrelevant, rather incomplete.
