    Ah. Misread it, my mistake. Still hard to believe an alt-league football team would be worth $400,000,000. I’d like to see Season 3 before any grandiose promises come to pass.
  2. Red Comet
    The Chiefs are worth less than $3 billion. And I’m supposed to believe a USFL franchise is going to be worth more than an NFL team? Let’s see how this plays out.
  3. Red Comet
    Can absolutely confirm this. Mainly because a lot of Nebraskans moved down to Kansas City for work like my grandparents among many others. Unrelated, there also a lot of Michigan fans here too for similar reasons. Heh, tell me more about the Bootheel though.

    Thanks for explaining the joke, my tiny Middle American brain didn’t know there was no one on the Moon.
  5. Red Comet
    Yeah, and if wishes were fishes we’d all have fins. History? It’s a business, man. If they could put a team on the Moon they would’ve done so already.

    An organization where fame, money and power intersect is corrupt to the core, hated by the people who consume their content and the leader of that organization has an abysmal approval rating? And they’re interrogating the NFL? Sounds fun.

    Holy hell, that sightline looks horrible for a 30,000 seat stadium. I’ve been closer to the field from the upper deck at Arrowhead than this. So they demolished Exhibition Stadium, and wound up creating a more compact Exhibition Stadium.

    Odds on them hiring Quenneville as their next head coach? Really would hammer home the Nashville Predators.

    They’ve been saying that for half a century now and it still hasn’t happened. And before anyone brings up Hispanics, recall that we’ve had plenty of Central/Eastern and Southern European immigration where soccer is also the unquestioned king and their descendants now follow baseball, football, basketball and then soccer. I’ll believe it when I see it.

    That’s kind of where I got that stat from. The anal part is a photoshop but why let the truth get on the way of a good story? Also, Kansas City Star article on how Kansas City got the Cup. tl;dr: Kansas City apparently wanted it more than any other city. And has a bunch of nice new digs like a women’s soccer-specific stadium and a new training center. And maybe a part of the city’s slush fund.

    We got the nomination because we have a lot of facilities teams can use. Also, we’ve actually had a solid soccer tradition since the 80s. And knowing FIFA, I wouldn’t put bribery out of the question.

    I’ll consider it a good thing if I can afford a ticket to a match. Until then, it’s just a pain in the ass that I’m going to deal with for a month. I am happy on some level but I am really not looking forward to even more people moving here.
  13. Red Comet
    Apparently 25,000,000 or so people visit here annually. Pretty sure they’re counting layovers at KCI, but it’s been bad enough with the new people coming in buying up houses and thanks to this, it’ll get worse. The local Chamber of Commerce has a boner three times as large as normal but the average person is going to suffer.

    It stands for “flipping” tourists
  15. Red Comet
    Great, looking forward to all the FTs invading. Thanks FIFA.

    The best part is that if those were the Commanders actual colors instead of something an intern slapped together for June, it would still be less busy than their actual current uniforms.
  17. Red Comet
    Both professional teams in Baltimore were called the Browns before moving there. The Cleveland Browns are obvious but the Orioles were the St. Louis Browns before relocating.
  18. Red Comet
    Traditional polling over the telephone has enough issues with reliability anymore. An online poll is just laughable as far as getting a result with usable data.
  19. Red Comet
    AFAIC, the only thing useful about polls are trends. So you’d have to ask this same question repeatedly every few months or so to even get the one bit of data that would actually be of use to anyone.

    So long as Bettman is in control? Yeah, I agree with you. Feels like trying to make hockey work in Arizona is his great white whale he’s hunting and he intends to finish the job regardless of whatever it costs him.
  21. Red Comet
    On one hand, glad I’m not the only open Gundam fan here. On the other, it’s sad that the one thing stopping this insanity is going to be a suburban city council.
  22. Red Comet
    The Kansas City Scouts were less embarrassing than this. At least they knew when to fold them and relocate. The hell is Gary Butthead even thinking with this? Or hell, what the hell are the other owners thinking to sign off on this?
  23. Red Comet
    Here’s an archive First paragraph tells me everything I needed to know “Within their agreement to play at Arizona State next season, the Arizona Coyotes and their owner, Alex Meruelo, will be required to avoid notoriety, or the team could be forced to look for another place to play.” Good luck with that.
  24. Red Comet
    The stadium thing isn’t even the most shocking bit. To me, I don’t know why you’d buy a half million dollar helicopter and then try to cheat the taxman. I know politicians think they’re invincible but that’s just so egregious it was begging for an investigation. Hell, this whole saga has been an intro class to public-private collusion.
  25. Red Comet
    Considering a suburb of Raleigh is colloquially known as the “Containment Area for Relocated Yankees”, I don’t think this will work like they think it will.
