purple_beard Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) A thread to discuss Pro Sports. Since it seems an individual thread for each would probably not be worth it I listed all the major Pro Leagues as fair game for discussion in this thread. MLB: Major League Baseball MLS: Major League Soccer NBA: National Basketball Association NFL: National Football League NHL: National Hockey League "Other": CFL (Candian Football League), Other pro soccer leagues, AFL / Arena Football, ... in short, any pro league Edited October 3, 2023 by purple_beard Quote Link to comment

I haven't seen many one sport specific threads gain a lot of traction. ************** ************** I follow Panthers/ NFL, Hornets/ NBA, and Hurricanes /NHL. Don't care about MLS or MLB. Granted, I'd likely watch some of the MLB post season stuff. Quote Link to comment

purple_beard Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 CUBS WIN THE WORLD SERIES IN A EPIC GAME 7 Doc Brown and L'Arachel 2 Quote Link to comment
L'Arachel Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I checked the World Series results as soon as I woke up this morning. Despite living in the Netherlands now, I was born and raised in Chicago, so lots of hopes. I'm pretty sure I can hear the sounds of my dad partying all the way across the ocean. Man, 2016 is a weird year. At least this makes up for the Bears having a shit year already. Quote Link to comment

Fuzzer1 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 That was a fun series. Also was a neat way to take our minds off the vicious election cycle for a few days. I'm gonna be honest here, 2016 has seen two big curses get broken this year with the Cleveland Sports Curse broken in June by the Cavs and now the Curse of the Billy Goat broken by the Cubs. Wow. purple_beard 1 Quote Link to comment

I am surprised they didn't do more on their logo(s) ... the speculation was black, gold/beige silver, and red ... they didn't show much of the swords into the star shape that they had later on...

Fuzzer1 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Well any new team that has fans who know how to boo Gary Bettman might as well be a hockey town and Vegas is now one. purple_beard 1 Quote Link to comment

Heh.... never heard that kind of reasoning. I hope Vegas can work for them.... and IMO, the NHL needs one more team in the West to even out the Western and Eastern conferences. And, who knows... but I am saying.... Quebec Nordiques ---> Colorado Avalanche Minnesota North Stars ---> Dallas Stars Atlanta Thrashers ---> Winnipeg Jets Winnipeg Jets ---> Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes Hartford Whalers ---> Carolina Hurricanes Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Anaheim Ducks, Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators.... The NHL has had a lot of expansion and relocation in the last 25 or so years..... Quote Link to comment
