Triple A Travel Teams?

 Should they have a lot of home camps?

Or should it be for A-ball level clubs? Would a good team name be West Coast Riders or Railroad?

Is Triple-A the line for older players? And so, should they feel more stay-at-home and closer to the call-up?

 

Can we fill a void in Oakland? Stadium torn down yet? A team can be named the Oakland Oaks. They could be called the Bays. Could time be shared with Portland as the West Coast Riders… and they have a biker jacket theme. Just Oakland Riders maybe.

What is sad? Saint Looey without NFL. What else…

Remember when Los Angeles went without the NFL for two decades?

Are some Atlanta hockey enthusiasts sad? Is the vibe in Austin better for ice than Houston? Would the compromise be to name the Team the Texas something somethings? Texas Trucking has a ring.

Missouri is without the hardwood.

Charlotte worries about big league baseball now, Nashville. Portland has geographic competition suddenly too.

What else?

By the way: this is the 1,000th blog post.

I instructed AI à la meta to do me a hot cheerleader for a fictitious NBA team called the Cincinnati Stunners. Not a huge fan of Pitt colors. And I suppose I would have to be a fan of the Cinincchnors or whatever tf that scribble AI did. That sounds like my team in your mom’s mom, but okay, funtime I guess.

Weirdest Modern Expansion Choice

 Is it Jacksonville? Right near Carolina for the 1995 NFL expansion.

Las Vegas for hockey? 

Maybe it’s Tampa baseball, so close to Florida Marlins establishment.

Could be Chivas for MLS. What about them NHL Sharks in San Jose?



If I could rub a wish for the Genie, Cincinnati Arena right now


 If I could wave my wand and the ladies scream for me as opposed to the police, Cincinnati would have a new arena. I’d probably prefer somewhere in the suburbs. But I asked AI to draw one.

I’d take an NHL team. A triple-A G-League squad would be fun. Cincinnati Canons and Cincinnati Trucking sounds neato speedo.

NHL. Which market is Countryassest?



 Old NHL map with Coyot’ up yander. Mammoth are probably more hipster with Wally and the Beav than anything else.

I’ll take the opportunity to beat my old drum on a brand that could do well with apparel- the Southlakes Fisherman. Houston and Atlanta sound like good hubs for that.

Cowboys are Countryass NFL?

 Do they wish they could quit you?

Did they rep stretches in Tennessee before the Oiler Titans came? What about Arizona? Probably Nevada.

Carolina, Saints and Falcons red clay probably.

 What do you think of my Countryass pics for the other sports?

West Coast Whales of Seattle and Vegas

 Is this a good NBA team brand?

Call them the Ports and interchange the animal imagery? Do a penguin for Christmas. Any number of birds of flight.

Call them the Flights? Aviation. Birds? Helicopter on the jersey one week.

Only fans

                                                  Only one team?

in the Big Four. Big Five.

Throughout the blog I’ve spaketh to many of these mentions before.

San Diego only has the Padres. And soccer I guess.

Green Bay is a technicality. Tailgating. Weekly. It’s a Madison & Milwaukee…and suburbia camper for Packer Nation. Alabama could have an NFL franchise. For my scenario in a blog post, I imaginarily spurred a ton of economic growth in Reform, Alabama for such tailgating. I probably should’ve explored Cullman with consideration towards a halfway to Huntsville, …maybe much the same for Mobile. I was just leaving elbow room from BBQ smog two days in a row for Tuscaloosa or Auburn.

Jacksonville, were you really a placeholder for London? If you move there will they change their team to Monkeys? They can wear burkas and the tunnel music will be Hey Hey we’re the MONKEYs! or whatever Osama used to listen to.

Taking a break from only 1 team for a city in the Big Four or Five league argument, what do you think about a Cleveland Armada for soccer or hockey? Would they have a Devil Dawg Pound fan section?

Oh, Orlando. MmmYeah. Almost.

Oh, Oklahoma.

Does Sacramento go We Wuz Kangz? Mem fuss.

Austin. Kick rrrrSoccer balls. Feetballs. Marco? Marco? COLUMBUS!

Canada doesn’t count. They be North.

Left Out of the Current Convo?

 Houston and Indianapolis for NHL

Indy touts a lot of arena convention but doesn’t slide big time ice. And it’s nestled around American sibling cities of major sports…..(did I say nestled???), I mean smothered in the aisle, thee isle, whatever.

Do you believeland Cleveland for hockey and soccer?

Will Kansas City get more consideration than Louisville for the NBA. Las Vegas has hometown homebody homeboys and loyalty to get ALLLLL of the sports now?!? Geepers. Kentucky is the only state left beckoning big league yum. But back to the rains down in Africa or Todo or something: There aren’t 3 million folks in Kansas to add to the 3.25 million folks in western Missouri. Kentucky has 4.6 million people butted up to Pacerland. And. And. Screw Seattle.


Baseball is the biggest bucks of all in terms of viability for market. There’s no gaping snub going on with the gravity. Texas has teams. SLC wants a pad from the Rocky Mountain hop on the way to Vegas. The biggest grief going is how Nashville rocketed a shadow casting more doubt than Charlotte has known. Montreal might be a snob more than a snub, though I say public dollars to big business is oftentimes shameful.

NFL 34 Teams - 3 New Cities

Jaguars move to Louisville.

Would they be Mustangs instead? What about Horsemen? Kentucky Downs maybe.



Expand:

Utah Stags 

and Portland Whales 

A.I. is still weird. 

Goofy. What are those words?

 Maybe wattles. Maybe Waddles. Okay Portland Penguin or Portland Potties.


A.I. speaks Klingon for commie Portland.

I know I know. Central Texas and Oklahoma Oilers were left out.

Dallas National League team


 Texas Rangers high noon showdown. Not in our lifetime. Fun anyway. What would they be called?

The Boys. Dallas Boys. The Drive. Dallas Drive.

Diesel?

Should they be California Giants?

 Oakland baseball will be a ghost in those parts.

Those Redwoods are big beauty. Angels can float and fly and I wish they would hop California Angel style again from the Inland Empire every once in awhile for Sacramento. SoCal to sacrament. Or is religion racism now? Do Anglo-Saxophones now object?

I give up on making Angels California again
