  1. Why have the A's not tried other Bay Area municipalities in the East Bay? They can't revive the Freemont project from 2006?
  2. People here in Tucson wont support the Dbags who are 2 hours away because they are a Phoenix team. People here are big Red Sox, Yankee, Cub and Dodger fans. I don't think they would support an MLB team here and if they do it would be out of spite against the Dbags who treated Tucson bad when they left the city/county holding the bag on an 8 year old spring training facility that was no longer good enough for them. The owner that came along after Colangelo alienated Southern AZ really bad.
  3. I wouldn't mind seeing the 49ers change uniforms again. As much as I like the Montana era uniforms I felt they did a very half assed job with bringing them back and they don't seem the same. It would be nice to see more gold in the 49ers pants and jerseys that doesn't look beige or khaki.
  4. I am looking at you Arizona Cardinals........Listen to the fans and change the uniforms!
  5. Not bad!!! I like them. I hope they do a trucker 80's style for the sideline caps with the horizontal stripes on the front with the team logo.
  6. Any word on if the AZ Cardinals are finally going to change their ugly reebok Fubu looking jerseys?
  7. I have noticed in the last 10 years that Mexico usually goes for some kind of black/clashing home jersey in non world cup years. Then when world cup comes around they switch back to traditional green. This is one of the first black jerseys for Mexico that I actually like. I might go and buy it.
  8. I don't miss Reebok era piping all over NFL, college and NHL uniforms.
  9. Utah Jazz losing two years in a row was a gut punch for me at the time too even though now I don't care about the NBA. I grew up in Utah but had already moved to Boise, ID during those two NBA Finals. Also 2003 Bartman incident was terrible 2008 NLDS Cubs vs Dodgers 1988 NFC championship game Bears vs 49ers 2010 NFC championship game Bears vs Packers 1997 World Series game 7 Indians vs Marlins (Indians are my second fav behind the cubs) 1998, 2006 & 2014 World Cup runs by Brazil ending in disappointment.
  10. I miss the opening themes... MLB on NBC from 86-89 HNiC theme NFL on CBS late 80's theme ABC MNF 80's theme NFL on NBC theme 80's & 90's Cubs baseball on WGN and seeing Harry Caray everyday Keith Jackson, Dick Endberg, Charlie Jones, Don Criqui, John Madden, Pat Summerall, Vin Scully. I also miss fans celebrating on the field. I miss the imperfect grass playing surfaces (mud, snow, rain, dirt fields at the end of the season). I miss college bowl games meaning something. I miss the old NHL with enforcers. Old sportscenter. I miss unique super bowl logos and fields, I miss daytime MLB playoffs and daytime Super Bowl's. I miss the easy access of sports. You could watch more on OTA or superstations or very basic cable.
  11. This is the direction I want the DBacks to go in here in Arizona. They only sellout Chase Field when there is a World Series or when the Yankees or Red Sox visit. There are good crowds for Cubs, Dodgers and Giants games too but nothing to the extent of a sellout. I think this concept of 32,000 would do well here if they happen to build out on the Salt River Reservation.
  12. It would be cool if someone that has the skills to make super bowl fields with this template from 1967 for the 1960 Philadelphia Eagles vs 1960 Houston Oilers. Me personally would like to see a super bowl I field template for the 1963 Chicago Bears vs 1963 San Diego Chargers. Could someone please make that one? Would be cool to see what it would look like.
  13. They are probably trying to cut costs on paint LOL. We should be thankful they are still coloring the endzones. They would probably go with woodmarks only if they could get away with it. The way the field was done for the National Title Game between LSU and Clemson.
  14. June 9th, 2010 - My Blackhawks finally win the Stanley Cup against the Flyers in game six after so many years of near misses and futility. When Kane scored the overtime goal I burst out in the living room and then really quick stopped because I didn't know what the hell was going on because it looked like they were going to replay or disallow the goal. It was this delayed burst and then finally I was able to let it all out! July 17th, 1994 - World Cup Final - Brazil x Italy. This was my first world cup and the final fell on my birthday. My mom made me a Brazil cake in advance. We are of Brazilian heritage. The whole game was agonizing for everyone at home, it was hot as hell in Washington State were we lived at the time and down in Pasadena. We watched the game on the big satelite dish and got a raw feed of Rede Globo straight from Rio de Janeiro. The penalty kicks was the longest moment of my life it seemed. November 23rd, 2019 - Copa Libertadores Final - my Flamengo x River Plate. I was in Rocky Point, Mexico with friends at the beach house watching the game on the phone. Flamengo went down 1-0 in the first half and I thought well it was a great run we went as far as possible. Then at the very last minute Flamengo tied the game and it appeared we would be heading to extra time/penalty kicks. Then in injury time Flamengo scored again and became kings of South America. It was the first time in my adult life Flamengo had won the equivalent of the champions league down in South America. The first time was 1981 with Zico and I was only a baby. November 2nd, 2016 - Game 7 World Series - Cubs finally break that mother:censored:ing GOAT curse! January 1st, 2007 - My alma mater pulls off the upset of the century by defeating the Oklahoma Sooners in the Fiesta Bowl which at time as a BCS bowl in the old bowl system. That trick play by Boise State will live in my memory forever. 2006 NFL season - watching the Bears finally dominate a regular season and make it to the super bowl. I will never forget going to class at Maricopa Community College with the bears getting their butts handed to them by the Cardinals on MNF only to leave class later that night and hear Dennis Green on local radio in his rant. I could not believe we came back! I was too young for the 1985 Bears so I can't count that. My earliest remembrance of that team was 1988 when they were already on their last legs.
  15. 1. 2003 NLCS when the Cubs blew a 3-1 lead to the Marlins. THE MARLINS! Not even a team that mattered (and still doesn't). 2. 1988 & 2010 NFC Title Games hosted by the Bears at soldier field 1988 vs 49ers got blown out Joe Montana made this little 8 year old cry; i didn't get over it until April 89. 2010 vs Packers got blown out and to this day hate Aaron Rodgers & Jay "no heart/I don't care about anything" Cutler. 3. 1998 FIFA World Cup Final: I am of Brazilian origin so France beating us badly plus Ronaldo getting the seizure was just a terrible day. It was my 18th birthday that day too....
  16. NFL : San Francisco 49ers first and foremost. I enjoyed watching the 80's teams but 1994 was my favorite team of all time for the 49ers. My dad likes the Bears so I will root for them and wife likes the Chiefs so I have them as my AFC team. I can't stand the Cardinals, the local sports media and their fanbase in the Valley. MLB: Chicago Cubs because my dad raised me on the Cubs during the WGN cable years. I would come home from school and turn on WGN first thing. I like the Dbacks too since I am in Arizona. NHL: Chicago Blackhawks & Arizona Coyotes (I don't follow that much like I used to) AHL : Tucson Roadrunners (hometown Tucson team) Overseas Soccer: Corinthians (Brazil), World Cup (Brazil & Mexico) NCAA: Arizona State Sun Devils alma mater. BYU (dad's alma mater) . Liga Mexican del Pacifico (Mexican winter league ball): Naranjeros de Hermosillo. NBA: Phoenix Suns & Chicago Bulls (I was diehard during the Jordan years).
  17. That is exactly what I am talking about. It feels "forced". The ultras with smoke bombs and flares with banners while singing also feels kind of forced.
  18. This is a prime reason why I can't take the MLS seriously because of the FC, Sporting, Real etc names. Timbers, Sounders and Whitcaps are the only organic sounding names in the league.
  19. They should just take a one year hiatus at this point like when the mexican league baseball teams can't line up sponsors or stadium rent on time so they just take off a season. LOL
  20. I mean deep down I want the Angels my second favorite team to remain in Southern California. But if they were forced to leave the region in a bizzare circumstance, why not chase field if the Dbacks are so unhappy and decided to move to San Antonio or Portland LOL
  21. I would love a Dbacks for Angels swap. Having the angels play in Phoenix would be awesome!
  22. Who gave the BC Lions permits? Its either that or just take a damn sabbatical until 2020.
  23. Just build a temporary bleacher stadium in the east bay similar to what the BC Lions did and bam you have your stadium for one year until its time to go to Vegas.
  24. NFL: Oakland Raiders & Seattle Seahawks (lived in Wa state for awhile and love the latest uniform and colors), LA Rams (to show solidarity to the wife when my teams are not playing them). MLB: AZ Dbacks (home team), Toronto Blue Jays (fell in love with the 92' & 93' World Series teams when i was a kid),Boston Red Sox (wife's team to show solidarity) and I for various reasons i kind of like the Astros and Cardinals. NHL: Detroit Red Wings & Arizona Coyotes (home team worked at the arena for awhile - I have not been able to get into them since the rumors of moving and losing millions has come about, if they announced they were staying forever I would be willing to jump on board), Overseas Soccer: Flamengo (Brazil), I have not been able to latch onto a European big club, World Cup (Brazil & Mexico) NCAA: Boise State University (alum) & University of Arizona Wildcats (living in Arizona) Liga Mexican del Pacifico (Mexican winter league ball): Yaquis de Obregon Liga Norte de Mexico (Mexican summer league rookie ball): Tiburones de Puerto Penasco (I vacation quite frequently in this tiny mexican beach town just 4 hours from Tucson,AZ & met spouse here.)
