hey instead of an 18 minute video, i will answer your question now. THEY MOVED TO DENVER! i only tapped on the vid to clear that up for you. smh what a stupid video
91 cup run still my favorite memory. An amazing, improbable, and great underdog story to this day. I used to wonder how it would have played out had they pulled off the miracle and won it, but sadly I don't anything would have changed.
The Expos should never have left Montreal. The MLB let the team fail, and helps at times - like refusing to allow the team to expand to 40 players in September 2003 when they had a chance for the playoffs. I still say that the Tampa Bay Rays should move to Montreal and become the 'new' Expos. They would attract more people being in the same division as the Toronto Blue Jays (a 'natural rivalry' just like in the NHL and the CFL) but also with the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. The Montreal Canadiens have a good rivalry with the Boston Bruins in the NHL and the Yankees tend to attract people to the ballpark - so having three 'quality' opponents in the division helps.
As a Stars fan, I cherish the North Stars. They crawled so the Dallas Stars could walk / run. And the fact that people still hate the Stars for this reason makes me Glad they’re in Dallas where they’re supported.
So, the relocation of the Sonics represented a paradigm shift for the NBA and their relationship with markets. The relocation was ugly, shady as fuck, even. David Stern was a vindictive prick, and when the Washington State legislature didn’t bend to his wishes, he took it personally. He learned that Seattle was a useful bludgeon for teams in need of new arenas "pony up the cash for a new arena, or we'll move your team to Seattle." What's how the Kings, Bucks, and others all got their shiny new arenas on the public dime. We all knew that even while Adam Silver took over as Commissioner, so long as David Stern lived, there would be no professional Men's basketball in Seattle. Ever since that move from Seattle, there have been very few relocations in the NBA. It may seem like they are charitable, but small markets are easier to exploit with the threat of relocation. It's why most recently, OKC voters approved a measure to fund a new arena on 99% public money. They are publicly funding an arena for a billionaire.
as a member of the parking lot crew I was up set with the fan's we set up the parking lot are way and the fans did it there way then we got blamed for the way the lot turned out so we gave up people thought thay could park in the basement with NORM and the ambulance there where two spaces that was it we parked in the lot with everyone else.
well the seasion ticket holders got frunt row parking and the rest were parked in the rest of the lot so my staff had a real chalange to keep thring's strate worked for one seasion and left the stares we where alowed to see the game free after the second period to the end
Thanks! Its a song I created using GarageBand for my videos. I actually created all of the background songs, so I wouldn’t get copyright strikes for music haha.
In March 2025, Montreal Baseball Group, led by Stephen Bronfman and Mitch Garber, will pay an expansion fee of $2 billion to award an expansion franchise to Montreal, with play to begin in the 2028 MLB season, so the new Montreal franchise will again be known as the Expos. In September 2025, Montreal Baseball Group will purchase a 20-acre land where Stade IGA (formerly Jarry Park Stadium) will be closed and demolished to make room for the new ballpark for the 2nd incarnation of the Expos. In November 2025, the groundbreaking ceremony for the 2nd incarnation of the Expos' new ballpark will occur on the Stade IGA site.
Just to nitpick a bit, you said that Jarry Park hosted 2 interleague NFL-AFL pre-season games in the park's first year and listed the Lions vs Patriots and the Steelers vs Giants. At the time these games were played the Steelers were still part of the NFL. They didn't move to the AFC until the merger beginning in 1970. That said, the Phillies clinched their first ever division title at Jarry Park in 1976 after winning the first game of the September 26th double header. The Phils took 4 of 5 games from the Expos in that series. Sadly the Expos never legitimately made the playoffs in their existence only making it by winning the 2nd half of the strike shortened 1981 season and they got completely jobbed by the strike in 1994 as they were clearly the best team in baseball that season. Had the strike not happened and the Expos made it to if not won the World Series I don't think they move.
The New Orleans Pelicans should move any day now. Not only with the arena situation but do they really have a chance with the resilient Saints in town? If Vancouver is not a viable option Louisville should be wide open unless a Pitino Jr. is in position to block such a move. St. Louis should have a second chance at basketball one way or another; it's even more of an injustice they lost the Hawks than the football teams, though NFL expansion could work in the Gateway City with the right owner and stadium.
I was on the parking lot crew we got everyone lined up so when thay could leave without running into each other we got to see the and see the last half of the game radio station interviewed a staff member there and asked her what the name of the ice maker was she called it a zambeanie
be sides that we where required to ware reflective vest's I wound up buying my owen gear as sometimes I ware junk and showed up to work with vest and flash lights that owened
Absolutely, his financial loan to the Raider franchise kept them and maybe the league from folding. He should be placed right next to Lamar Hunt in the HOF
He made multiple enemies in the ranks of the other team’s by acting like Al Davis later on. The way he left Houston really angered all except Al Davis.
I moved to Houston the year they drafted Earl Cambell and lived through all the Luv ya Blue times. Bud once told reporters that the players were spending too much time doing charity work and not enough time on the practice field. That should tell you everything you need to know about that $%^&*&^. So glad he's gone.
Another fact, he transferred to Kansas from a Junior college called, Menlo College in Atherton, California. About 7 miles from Stanford University. Only reason I know that is because I graduated from Menlo, which is now a 4 year private college.
Only time will tell if he is in. Personally, he burned a lot of bridges to get to what he wanted until his passing at the age of 90 now- 11 years ago!?!?!? Time does go by.
Trying to put aside my Houston out of the way for this response, but when you think of owners in the Hall-of-Fame like Jerry Jones, Pat Bowlen, Eddie DeBartolo, Ralph Wilson and the Rooney's, what have they done to get their place in the Hall-of-Fame? Win. Sure, the Oilers were a mini-dynasty in the early 60's under Adams' guidance, but other than that, they didn't do anything and he did make some controversial decisions. Sure Art Modell pulled off a similar thing with the Browns, but he wasn't as boisterous about it as Adams was. Adams was just an owner who tried to get his way that he rubbed the city the wrong way and unfortunately due to his egoness, took the rights of the Oilers from a city that truly deserves it. If Adams was less of an arrogant prick, he would get it. Jerry Jones would also qualify as such, but he wasn't what Adams was and he's in the hall-of-fame. At the end of the day, barring any last minute surprise, Adams sealed his fate with all that he did moving the Oilers to Tennessee and spurning the city. So therefore, it's a no for if he should be inducted.
Yeah that makes sense, winning and being a part of the overall story of the NFL’s history is a really important factor. Adams had some of that partially, by being a founder of the AFL but like you said he never really was able to turn the Oilers into much of a winning organization. But It wouldn’t shock me if say in the year 2059, during the 100th anniversary of the AFL, the hall of fame decides to induct Adams.
The bigger question is, "How many times a year does Bud Adams' headstone get urinated on, seeing as he had the audacity to be buried in Houston Texas??
