There were the Mobile Revelers due to Mobile's history with Mardi Gras. Seems a perfect fit with New Orleans if approached right.

Even if Miami pulls out of Sioux Falls, the NBA will have to find somebody to go in there. The Sanford Pentagon is too nice a building to be left vacant.

[quote=""toad455""]I don't think we'll see the league jump to 30 teams overnight. Maybe by 2020. of the 13 remaining teams without affiliations, here's my choices for where their D-League teams should be: Indiana Pacers - Fort Wayne Mad Ants Atlanta Hawks - Gwinnett, GA Brooklyn ...

Fayetteville likely to enter the race: http://www.fayobserver.com/sports/process-to-land-hornets-affiliate-starts-with-reviewing-team-needs/article_c5369e29-3bd9-5f60-86fd-5be3dcf51522.html Columbia Mayor wants to build a new venue for Hornets D-League team: http://www.free-times.com/news/mayor-want...

Greensboro's proposal may be using three venues, as each venue is too busy to host the team on its own. No way this could fly. How do you sell season tickets or corporate packages that way? Looks like each city has to give a response if they are in the game with something in the next two weeks, some...

Wherever Jordan puts his team, the other NBA cities in the south will have no choice but to field a team or relocate their current D-League team to a southeastern city. With the new TV money coming there's no more excuses. Here's an interesting way it could end up: Charlotte --> Asheville/Columbia M...

Of course, I'm rooting for Asheville.

I already know pro indoor soccer is dying. But that is another potential competitor until they are finally finished off.

The NFL, with all of the negative press, actually earned another extra $billion in revenue.

It was actually a very impressive showing. Don't know how many of the over 5,000 who showed up last night paid for the tickets, but nonetheless, a very impressive showing on six week's notice. Here's a rebroadcast: http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/_/id/2408055/size/condensed/ They're on espn3 tod...

I'll check it out, I'll have to watch the rebroadcast as I'm working tonight. I expect decent games this weekend. Maybe not a great crowd, but probably not too bad given short notice. The PFL actually has a lot of marketing going on and bringing in a team representing FC Barcelona's system is not ba...

Ted has been exploiting every single nuance of the "complicated" CBA to make his points. And he's far from the only person to brutalize this cave-in by players. The "whackjobs" at Deadspin just criticized this CBA to great length, saying both the owners and players agreed to keep...
