Never said it was the best team. But I like to at least keep one team in Florida if I had a choice.- 3,837 replies

Okay buddy.. please calm down. I mean as if we look at todays MLB and not all-time. The Mariners last championship was in 2003 where the A's haven't won any since 1989. The Mariners management isn't a complete dumpster fire compared to the A's are right now. I rather see the A's fold or at least go dormant for now then be relocated to Las Vegas.- 3,837 replies

Thank you! I honestly agree that the long-term health would be better then just short-term gains for the league. But, being honest about this, I rather watch the NPB or KBO over MLB. The MLB failed me as a fan with the lockdown happening again.- 3,837 replies

1. Honestly the Colorado Rockies should have been called the Denver Bears instead IMO. 2. DC should have gotten an expansion team: Washington Greys instead of the Nationals (generic for generic sake) and the Senators. 3. Hell to the no with the Anaheim Angels folding and the A's relocating to Anaheim. bad call, very bad call... 4. Expos should have folded when the team proposal for a new stadium being rejected. I would accept relocation to Vancouver or Portland though...- 3,837 replies

I would get rid of the Rays and A's instead of the Marlins. At least the Marlins won two World Series two out of the three playoff appearance's. The A's have nothing to live for and relocating the team to Las Vegas would actually be a death sentence for the team. LV already has the Golden Knights and the Raiders, adding another Oakland team in A's would be an mistake. I rather see the team fold then going to Vegas. While I'm not a fan of getting rid of teams just for reasons, it does help out in the end like with MLS. Plus MLS did return to Florida with Orlando City SC and now with Inter Miami.- 3,837 replies

Seattle looks fantastic and while I'm not a huge fan of the color scheme, I love the dragon design so much.

Not joking but I'm kinda surprised we don't have a kickball world championship or something like it yet? Also, what is pickleball? I honestly never heard of it.

NHL Anti-Thread: Bad Business Decision Aggregator
Matthew24 replied to The_Admiral's topic in Sports In General
Dude I been on and off here for over a year or so. But I usually keep my opinions to myself, which is something I like to stop doing as I had people complain to me about stuff and when I tell them my though they get annoyed and walk off. (To be fair, I rarely comment on stuff here since I like seeing and reading other people thoughts on stuff. Basically I'm the Silent Bob of the forums). To be fair, I honestly find the name, and mostly the logo, as lame. But maybe it because I loved the Golden Knights logo and name so much I was expecting something more with Seattle. That's what I get for having my hopes up... -
I never heard of this before. I honestly love the jersey though, something I would buy actually.

NHL Anti-Thread: Bad Business Decision Aggregator
Matthew24 replied to The_Admiral's topic in Sports In General
So I may be the odd one out (Maybe not idk?) but I really find the the Seattle Kraken to be a lame NHL name. It fine for something like the NLL or even Arena Football, but for the NHL, I was expecting something better. When I was a kid, I remember created a fictional hockey team from Seattle the Emerald Dragons. Maybe they had something else planned for the team name but the Kraken feels like a dud. -
Minor/Independent/Collegiate League Baseball Logo/Uniform Changes
Matthew24 replied to BigMac12's topic in Sports Logo News
It not that bad. It could be worse, but it isn't awful. -
Minor/Independent/Collegiate League Baseball Logo/Uniform Changes
Matthew24 replied to BigMac12's topic in Sports Logo News
Kingsport Snow Eagles. That actually sounds better then I thought.. I'm gonna trademark it. Lol -
There also Bally Astrocade console from the late 70's. I will miss Fox Sports tbh. But I like to see what Bally will do now.

So if the four schools go to the WAC to reform the football conference. What will happen to Southland Conference? I do think they can managed but it will a tough road ahead.

Minor/Independent/Collegiate League Baseball Logo/Uniform Changes
Matthew24 replied to BigMac12's topic in Sports Logo News
Woah.. I like the name but really hate the logo. That logo looks bad. I was expecting something a bit similar to the NPB Giants Logo from the 2000s (the one with the baseball player) but with colors that match the city other team (Ottawa RedBlacks). Wasn't expecting a rejected cartoon characters from the 1990s.. -
Gridby sounds better. But that's my opinion.
-
I think it depends on where you live and the service you get. But Peacock Premium (which I pay for..) looks pretty bad compared to CBS All Access and ESPN+. Both look way better then Peacock. I honestly hate the merge so I wont get into it, But I never heard of Bally so this might be fun to see how it could work. Also, 20th Century Studios... I hate Disney sometimes..
-
Honestly, I think the endgame might not be worth it in the end for WAC. Sure it could work but I see ways how it could and can backfire. If the WAC Football can survive at least five or ten years without some really major hiccups. I will be shocked. Also, even if they make it that long, I doubt the Power 5 Conferences would allow another member to join them. So it pretty much FCS or BUST.
-
Honestly doubt SFA would move for just football. Basketball maybe but the football program isn't that great. I still remember their beating by TCU years ago. As for the WAC getting back in football, I'm confused why? I actually forgot why they left the football program stuff years ago? Can someone remind me on that. I'm up for more football conferences but it seems weird.

AHL/ECHL/Minor/Junior League Hockey Changes
Matthew24 replied to Dante_X's topic in Sports Logo News
Now those are some awesome jerseys. -
Rebels is a tricky one for me. For me, Rebels can mean something from Star Wars then Confederate soldiers. I like that the SEC trying to get help get rid of Mississippi state flag, I just think the team might need a makeover to remove the confederate pass in the school. (Personal Opinion (here comes the flack): I lie the Rebels nickname but wouldn't mind seeing an updated term with it.) Also adding to this is the Texas Rangers name. https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2020/06/19/columnist-texas-rangers-baseball-name-change-law-enforcement-agency-racist-history-embarrassment-fans/ As someone who used to like the Texas Rangers (Thanks Walker, Texas Ranger...). I honestly can see why the team needs a new name. Personally I think Dallas Raiders or Texas something or other. Personally. It just the times are changing. If it getting better, we have to wait and see.

Sports things you miss (The good old days)
Matthew24 replied to wdm1219inpenna's topic in Sports In General
Few things I want to add. 1: I miss ABC Sports and Keith Jackson commentating games for the network. Also his commentary in NCAA Gamebreaker is something I do enjoy now as an adult. 2: Speaking on Gamebreaker. I miss 989 Sports and Acclaim Sports. While I have a bad history of NFL Gameday 2002 (Bad controls and being a bit glitchy being two of the reasons). I used to love the NHL Face-Off series with NHL Face-Off 97 a personal favorite growing up. As for Acclaim, while I never played a lot of Quarterback Club, I did enjoy 2002 recently and wished they improved with another game. Still to be honest, SEGA Sports and EA were better growing up. Also miss SEGA Sports to be honest.
