Don't think the irony isn't lost on me.However, it's a defunct logo killing off another terrible, ill-advised team identity.

Lol, hey, we did sell out our first few years! However, I would like to see more support for our team though. Unfortunately, I live too far away to boost their ticket sales, haha.

That's why if you contract in the NHL merge the Kings & the Ducks--and delete a team in the East.(Or add a new one in the west) Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."

steiny_ramone Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Contract all the teams that draw low television ratings There goes the NHL in America.If I was asked this question 5 years ago or so, my answer would be easy. But my answers would have been the teams that have won the last two Stanley Cups. Do they deserve a team based on their attendance figures? Maybe; maybe not. Did their fans just jump on the bandwagon once they realized that their teams were doing well? I have no idea. But I will say that they were two helluva teams. Those of you in the Southeastern division should be proud. facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how many times I saw Ottawa on ESPN/ESPN2/FOX/NBC/OLN in the past 5 years outside of the playoffs? 2 times. And one of those times was during Lemieux's (second) comeback tour. The other time? OLN this past season. Other than Toronto or Vancouver getting the occasional game on ESPN2, Canuskistani teams were nowhere to be found outside of local TV in the States.

neo_prankster Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 i'd contract all sports teams in the cities of buffalo, san jose, and phoenix. Wow. You're heartless. I would contract all teams in Texas except for the Mavs and Spurs. So there.Actually, I would like to contract the following teams:NHL:Nashville PredatorsAtlanta ThrashersFlorida PanthersColumbus BlueJacketsNFL:San Diego ChargersTennessee TitansJacksonville JaguarsArizona CardinalsMLB:Tampa Bay Devil RaysArizona DiamondbacksKansas City RoyalsColorado RockiesNBA:Atlanta HawksLos Angeles ClippersGolden State WarriorsCharlotte BobcatsThere's a pretty obvious northeast bias here, and guilty as charged. I'm not a hardcore hockey fan, so my choices for hockey contraction are based soley on geography and that ridiculous bug logo.I was going to list the Marlins because I don't think that they are good for baseball. I don't like that they spend money to win the Series and then go into a five-year financial draught. I don't think they build their teams correctly. However, thay have a lot more World Series championships in the past ten years than most teams, so they of course must be doing something right. The real shame is that the 2003 team was very likeable and I'm upset it was broken up as soon as it was.Otherwise, I think the 92 and 98 expansions were bad for baseball. I don't think a championship team is possible in either Denver or St. Petersburg, and if that can't happen, what's the point of keeping the team around? The Diamondbacks won in 2001, of course, in what was one of my least favorite World Series of all time. I think their uniforms are ugly, their logos terrible, and the team name stupid. I think they tried to ape tradition instead of build it and now they're a mess.As far as the NBA is concerned, the Warriors, Clips and Hawks mostly don't show any interest in building winning teams. They should therefore be contracted. Basketball may work in Charlotte the second time around, but I don't see how. I'd like that team and its by-far-the-worst-in-pro-sports uniforms completely disappeared.You want heartlessness?Here you go:NFL:Oakland RaidersArizona CardinalsTennessee TitansNew England PatriotsMLB:New York YankeesBoston Red SoxLos Angeles DodgersSan Francisco GiantsNBA:New York KnicksCharlotte BobcatsSeattle SupersonicsLos Angeles ClippersNHL:New York IslandersCarolina HurricanesNashville PredatorsDallas Stars The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illwauk Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Definitely the Cubs. They play in the second biggest market and consistently have one of the largest payrolls in the majors, yet haven't won a World Series in almost a century. Both teams named after hosiery have been able to overcome their "curses" in recent years... they're out of excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the Coliseum during the W's playoff run last season? Absolutely packed to the gills. The Warriors are a team that have a loyal and paying fanbase, they sell out nightly - regardless of playoff contention (which, admittedly, ain't much).Frankly, I could name at least a few other franchises more deserving of the axe than the W's (i'm lookin at the Hawks, Magic, Hornets, and Bobcats).But, if we're talking about the one team I feel that could be contracted, across the big four leagues with no noticeable affect on fans or its league, it would have to be the Tampa Bay Rays. Utterly nondescript franchise that should have never been greenlit in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
