Something different: since this is a pointless realignment after all lol I made one for media companies. Warner Bros. Discovery buys Paramount Global and reforms The WB and UPN after the CW gets taken off the air. Comcast buys Electronic Arts. (a merger that almost happened in real life) Fox Corporation (21st Century Fox) and News Corporation unite after splitting in 2013, and buys Sinclair, thus forming 22nd Century Fox and getting back the Bally RSNs they sold from the Disney purchase of 21st Century Fox assets and renames them Fox Sports Net again. Walt Disney Company is at it again. They purchase Sony and then Apple buys the combined Disney-Sony Company. Not to be outdone, Google purchases Netflix and forms channels and movie studios of their own. A disgruntled man from San Antonio called Jason Terry Allen* graduated from UTSA and went to apply for a job at NBC but gets harshly denied. He gets hired by Disney as first a janitor, then he becomes a costume wearer for Mickey Mouse and gets a job for WABC but gets fired. He forms a company called Atlantic & Pacific Communications (A&P for short) and in no time it gets big. They purchase Microsoft. Three Networks following the A&P model - New England Communications (formed by Kelly McDoogal* after he gets fired by WBZ), Dixie Heart Corporation (formed by Chester Lester* after he was laid off from a CBS station in Arkansas) and Empire Communications (formed by Juan Castellanos* after quitting his job at WNYW and his side gig at Uber Eats) form a company called Liberty Enterprises.

Gotta add Robinson Cano in this thread again. This time as a Padre.

I second the Angels looking like the Phillies statement.

Detroit (1950 pop. 1,849,568) was bigger than Philadelphia of 1900, 1910 and 1920 when the Athletics were in the City of Brotherly Love and shared it with the Phillies. Starting in 1950 Philly hit 2 million so absolutely!

Don't know if anyone posted this but 1994 NFL season: San Francisco-based team (49ers) wins a title in the 75th season of the league on ABC after winning 4 titles in the previous decade. 2021-22 NBA season: If the Warriors win the NBA Finals, then San Francisco-based team wins a title in the 75th season of the league on ABC after winning 3 NBA titles and winning 5 Western Conference titles in the previous decade.

Proud Rangers fan! WHAT A WIN!!!!

New Jersey Institute of Technology goes for NJIT for academics AND athletic teams to add to the "tech" discussion

I love those hats because of that late 90s reference and me watching NBA on NBC.

Flames just could not match the intensity of the Oilers. If the Rangers do not win the Cup, I hope the Oilers do.

We will see if the Celtics join the Dubs or Heat force a game 7. I say Celts win.

Rangers looked SOFT.

1 game later but Warriors did it.

Reds are waxing the Cubs 15-5 as I type this.

I must be a jinx to Dub Nation

When it comes to NFL franchises that has ever played in Los Angeles they are more like "El Tercero".

Warriors finish off the Mavs tonight.

Speaking of Media Markets, There is also a DMA map on a site called TruckAds, it is clickable. https://www.truckads.com/designated-market-map.asp When you click a dot on the map it will show you more details of the market, for example the NY media market has counties in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and even parts of Pennsylvania. And below the map of the market shows the rest of the media markets in the state, the affiliates of all the channels, the names of the counties and cities in the market. https://www.truckads.com/Designated-Market/New-York.htm#map

Panarin' s OT goal completed the 3-1 comeback for the Rangers. Good to see. Carolina will be tougher opponent though and I think the Rangers run ends here

Speaking of Pujols, he pitched the 9th inning and closed out the win over the Giants though he gave up a pair of homers

Pujols' debut was in April 2, 2001 Tom Brady's was November 23, 2000 Incredible the longevity of Brady's career but let's not forget Pujols.

Ok I will admit I went overboard

DUDE - even True fans have a life and do not obsess 24/7 about sports and.... GASP... are human beings and get things wrong.

Well I was born in 1991 so

First of four game 7's across the NBA and NHL today. Celtics look like they will win this series.

Reds did WHAT!? Now that is new.
