Well, looks like it did not take long. Tacoma is out and "Seattle" is in.

OK, time for the geographic portion of the show... West: Tacoma, Turlock, Ontario, Las Vegas, San Diego, Toros Mexico (Tijuana) South: Dallas, Texas (Beaumont), Brownsville, Hidalgo, Monterrey, Saltillo Central: Wichita, Tulsa, Missouri (Independence), St. Louis, Milwaukee, Chicago East: Cincinnati,...

I thoroughly understand. I wrote that as a reflection of my own personal disgust of the situation as trying to state what I saw and heard around here in Everett. As for Bellevue, there has been talk off and on for years of putting in an arena, many times implying simply expanding the Meydenbauer cen...

It has been made official that the Washington Stealth has been relocated to Langley, BC to become the Vancouver Stealth. The official statements cited a failure to grow a fan base and obtain more sponsors in the time they were here in Everett. Seeing the Stealth here the last few years, I can say th...

OK time to play the name game for the new UFL Omaha team.
Here are the four they came up with: Mustangs, Spirit, Navigators, Stags.
They are also allowing for write-in candidates as well.
My personal pick is Mustangs. For some reason, either Omaha Mustangs or Nebraska Mustangs just sounds right to me.

Now with the folding of the Sacramento Monarchs, the team will not only be changing cities but conferences as well.
Western-Seattle, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Minnesota, Tulsa, San Antonio
Eastern-Chicago, Indiana, Connecticut, New York, Washington, Atlanta
