TheOldRoman Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Kansas City has pro sports teams?New rule: Anyone who lives in a town no one has heard of, isn't allowed to make fun of an actual city for supposedly being irrelevant regarding anything.But isn't that kinda the point? Anyone living in a big-league city who is a sports fan is going to naturally assign some sort of relevance to even the crappy teams that come in to his or her city to play. It's the kid in Des Moines, or the slack-jawed yokel in Mississippi who's opinions probably count more, since their sense of relevancy isn't skewed by the fact that the Panthers or Orioles just rolled into their city to take on their team.Also, the term "actual city" is vague at best. What is an "actual city" to you is not necessarily the same to everyone.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 NHL- Atlanta ThrashersMLB- Washington NationalsNBA- Memphis GrizzliesNFL- Carolina PanthersThrashers are getting tons of attention for their impending move. Nationals received a lot of press last year for Strasburg and Bryce Harper.The Grizzlies nearly advanced past the second round of the playoffs as an 8 seed so they were in the news recently.and nobody in the NFL is irrelevant, especially not the team that just used the number one overall pick to select a very polarizing player.I think you need to read the definition of "Irrelevant".

slapshot Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Panthers...so sad. What about the orioles? Haven't heard anything about them in..............when did ripken retire?The Orioles stay relevant by playing in a division with two major media markets.The Orioles may not be able to compete consistently or retain good players (from the gripes I hear about Peter Angelos), but as long as they play the media-flooding Red Sox and Yankees, recently contending Rays, and Canada's team Blue Jays, they will always remain in the public eye, and therefore, relevant.

tBBP Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Chaulk it up to a lapse in thought/judgement (Can someone tell me again just how the hell I wound up here?)You went from Indianapolis to Des Moines? I patiently await your "What am I doing in Sioux Falls?" thread.(Can someone tell me again just how the hell I wound up here?)You took I-74 West and got onto I-80 West in the Quad Cities.First off, fock each & every one of y'all silly asses. Secondly, to recap: since graduating college in Pittsburgh, I've gone from there to west Texas, from there to Virginia, got deployed, came back, moved out to the B'more/DC area in Maryland, went from there to somewhere south of somewhere else in Indiana, from there up to Indianapolis, and now out here to Des Moines--actually, West Des Moines to be more specific. (None of this includes the little bit of time I spent up in Connecticut during that stretch.) At this rate I might well end up in Sioux Falls or some other BFE spot sometime soon--and in this new profession of mine, that might actually happen rather quick. (Ain't y'all glad y'all ain't me?)And thirdly...I still maintain the title of Most Irrelevant Sports Franchise belongs to the Sacramento Kings. They're so irrelevant that people keep forgetting to mention that they're irrelevant...along with forgetting that they even exist at all. (And that, my friends, is the true measure of irrelevancy.) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 http://panthers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=564982&navid=DL|FLA|homeThe Panthers have announced their new marketing campaign is "We See Red." ??We See Red? is one of the most aggressive and fitting marketing campaigns this franchise has ever had,? said Panthers president & COO Michael Yormark. ?Red represents passion, desire, commitment and aggressiveness and that?s exactly the type of team GM Dale Tallon is building here in South Florida. It also represents our franchise?s desire to achieve success on and off the ice, to win, and to build a team and a franchise that our fans and the South Florida community can be proud of.?"One of the most"? You roll out this campaign and you can't even use an unqualified superlative? What was the most fitting marketing campaign you ever had? "We're air-conditioned"? Well, at least they're really pushing the red nowThe Florida Panthers Offseason is presented by JetBlue.oh ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Came up in the NHL uniform change thread that the Florida panther is a sad panther because the team hasn't won a playoff game since spring '97, when "Mmmbop" ruled the airwaves.

twi Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 To me, the most irrelevant team would be some NBA team somewhere because I don't think I can even name them all off the top of my head. I might try, but so that I don't go crazy I would need to know if there are 30 or 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hanson kids were all under 16 and homeschooled; the assembled Blowfish were all in their thirties and thought Fairweather Johnson was a suitable album title. What the hell's their excuse?Poor Panthers. Had they made it to the second round that year, they could've had a fleeting earful of "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks.

The_Admiral Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I've never found Hootie and the Blowfish to be anything worse than acceptable middle-of-the-road rock. A lot of the really over-the-top Hootie hate just feels like a retroactive contrivance to me when there was some much more awful music on top 40 radio at the time. I mean, people liked Live once.That "I Like It" song is probably the worst one on the list, that and the Spice Girls. Most of those songs are actually kinda good. Unlike the Panthers. If it's any consolation to them, I don't think Shawn Colvin has accomplished anything since spring '97, either. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
