I agree, it does sound fitting. Indiana would certainly benefit from the move should it take place.

While not as ā€œredā€ as Texas or Florida, Nevada has ā€œacquiredā€ a few California rejects as of late.. Las Vegas Traitors, er Raiders and the soon to be Las Vegas ā€œA’sā€ or whatever name they are going to give them. There seems to be something in the works for an NBA team as well. Maybe Las Vegas Lakers?..

As for Da Bears, hope where ever they end up it’s better than where they were.

They will still be Chicago bears. Indiana’s gov was on clay and buck today. Sounds like the move is gonna happen. Years ago there was talk of them moving to Gary, Indiana. Obviously that didnt go through so it was a long time coming.

My sister moved there about 4 decades ago, pure Conservative blood with a mutt pedigree. NYS still has a Conservative party, not viable in most elections, but gets some pull in endorsing Republicans. Back when I was a kid and the parties were not so far apart, the Conservatives would sometimes endorse Democrats in local elections if they gave some concessions. That is the power of a swing party, we typically had enough votes in a local election to get things that otherwise would not happen.

Yes I have two sisters that live in upstate NY I went to visit a couple of summers back and was wearing a 2A shirt and in a grocery store a guy came up and said thanks don’t judge the whole state by the city and boroughs. I laughed and said I understand.

The Florida Yankees (or Tampa Yankees) isn’t far from true already. Most of the Yankees live in Tampa and fly to NY to play. Why live in that state?

They have a beautiful ballpark called George Steinbrenner field directly across the street from Raymond James Stadium where the Bucs play. The Tampa Bay Rays borrowed Steinbrenner Field all season last year because their own was badly damaged in a hurricane.

Years ago I used to live in Tampa not far from where Steinbrenner lived. I’d run into him and his driver at a local coffee shop. He had a Rolls-Royce limo with a NY Yankees front license plate. He’s buried just outside Tampa. He was a major donor to causes for kids around Tampa, and is extremely highly regarded as having been one of Tampa’s big philanthropists and all around great citizens.

When I lived and died by the Yankees Box scores and the Met’s acquiring a Yankee was met with great derision (towards the TURN COAT YANKEE DOG! :rofl:) Those were the day’s of LOYALITY. You went to the Pawtucket Muscrats (I made that up) before you went to the Toilet Team in Flushing, Queens! :joy: Folk’s who signed with a team (became the team and ended their careers with that team Usually). You’d NEVER see Da Mick in a Padres uniform.
Sadly those days are gone and folk’s go through 5 or 6 teams before they retire. Ticket prices are outrageous, you can buy 1000 rounds of .556 for the cost of a pair of nose bleeds in the rafters. (today? I’ll choose the bullets every time)
This past Super bowl PROVED the out off control Sports Machine is alive and well. Th$usands for a decent ticket , $180 for a ā€˜Special’ Burger, $20 for a Beer? Enjoy Sportsfans, not for me anymore. My ā€˜Local’ baseball team The ā€˜Isotopes’ (a play on the Love of Nuclear BS this State has). They use to be the LA Dodgers Farm Team now they are The Rockies (sorry Colorado). But a 4 pack of tickets a couple of Dogs, soda’s can run you $400!+. (Not including Parking, Sweatshirts, a Baseball etc)
I think what REALLY soured me was the ā€˜Sports Book’ angle. The Scandals, the hint of Mafia/Veg$s influence on a lot of Sports now. I don’t try and spoil life for others but when it comes to certain things I’ve seen so much and witnessed corruption I just can’t get excited about it anymore (I wish I could but I can’t)
If the Yankees ever go to Florida I hope they don’t go TEAL pinstripes----I don’t think my heart could take that! :laughing: Also if they did go to Florida they would DESERVE that big ā€˜F’ on their uniforms! ----just sayin’ :zany_face:

I hear ya. I’m not a huge sports fan, but I’ve always followed the Bills, and have always liked hockey and follow the Lightning in Tampa. I absolutely hate what gambling has done to my enjoyment of football. There are so many instances in the game that come down to some degree of subjectivity in the officiating, and since gambling started its impossible to not wonder of bad calls are on purpose.

Well, I’m about to watch US vs Canada in the Olympic hockey game. Go USA.

Silver is still respectable. They had the better squad but we had the grit. Broken teeth and all. Ill take it and see what happens again in 4 years.

Both women’s and men’s hockey team did not give up.

I really like that 3 on 3 sudden death format

The one who won that game is the goalie if not for him Canada would hve had double digits.
