  1. Most people in Western New York who can afford that kind of money usually use it to leave New York State and move elsewhere.

  2. ​​​​ @sampicano especially when you consider that Cincinnati sports fans only support their teams when they're winning. Before the Bengals drafted Joe Burrow, there were more Steeler fans in Cincinnati than there were fans of the home team. And don't even get me started on the abysmal attendance the Reds have had most of the last two decades or so. 😂 Nobody there cares about hockey. I very highly doubt they would sit through the growing pains of an expansion franchise. And more than likely, they would only sell out a building if teams like the Penguins or Red Wings came to town, in which case it would probably be almost entirely visiting fans in the stands.

  3. It would never work. The Blue Jackets play less than 2 hours away from there, nobody in Cincinnati cares about hockey, and they only support their teams when they're winning. Look at the Bengals for example. Plus they're still in the honeymoon phase with FC Cincinnati. When they start losing, people will do the same thing they did with the Bengals and the Reds and stop going to games. Not to mention the fact that you have the collegiate teams from UC and Xavier competing for what's left of the Cincinnati sports pie. Cincinnati isn't big enough or passionate enough of a sports city to support a new team, least of all an expansion franchise that will more than likely be lousy for a decade while they build up.

  4. The Warriors left town to move across the bay to San Francisco, and the Raiders have moved out of the city TWICE in their history. And now you have this situation with the A's. That should tell you all you need to know about Oakland being a viable pro sports city.

  5. Cincinnati sports fans don't support the teams they have now unless they're winning. For example, the Bengals before they drafted Joe Burrow, and the Reds most of the last 2 decades. Do you really think people there would get behind an expansion team in a sport very few people there care about, which more than likely will have several losing seasons while they build up their roster?

  6. I hope it's good. Otherwise I'll just stick with College Football Revamped. Truthfully, the NCAA franchise on PS3 were probably the last good games EA ever made.

  7. Undoubtedly, Coyotes fans are going to be pissed off about the move, but everyone and their brother knew it was coming. Number one, lousy ownership. Number two, lousy teams on the ice most years. And number three, no city in the Phoenix metro wanted them. As for Arizona potentially getting an expansion team someday, it would be a huge waste of time. It would be just like putting yet another team in Atlanta. This same scenario would play out again in a decade. If Bettman is hell-bent on expanding in the South and the West, there are many other cities and states more deserving and can better support a franchise. Kansas City, Houston, New Orleans, OKC. and even Louisville, KY are all better expansion candidates than Arizona.

  8. I also live in a swing state, Pennsylvania to be exact. I'm from the Northwestern part of the state. Erie County is the largest population center in this area. Within the City of Erie and Millcreek Township, the two most populated areas of the county, I would give Harris a 60/40 advantage. Downtown Erie and the innermost-city neighborhoods are solidly for Harris, with the outlying areas surrounding 38th Street on both sides of town basically split between the two candidates, increasingly leaning slightly toward Trump. Edinboro, home to a state university, unsurprisingly tilts towards Harris. Everywhere else in Erie County, I would confidently give an 80/20 advantage toward Trump. In the other two counties of the Erie metropolitan area, Crawford and Warren, I would also give Trump an 80/20 advantage in both places. - In McKean and Potter counties, to the east, I would go as far as to give Trump a 90-10 advantage in those places. - In Mercer County, to the south and technically part of the Youngstown, Ohio metropolitan area, that one's hard for me to call. The towns closest to Youngstown such as Sharon and Farrell are solidly for Harris, but the further away from Youngstown you drive on I-80, I see more Trump signs. One also has to keep in mind that Mercer County is home to several small colleges, and college students tend to vote resoundingly Democrat. If I were forced to give an estimate, maybe 55/45 in favor of Trump. Which isn't all that far off from the 62% of the county Trump won in 2020. - Forest County, one of the smallest and most rural counties in Pennsylvania, probably 95/5 in favor of Trump. - Venango County, that's probably another 80/20 in favor of Trump. Like you, I'm basing these estimates on political signs I see in front yards and on buildings.

  9. Maybe if Cleveland could ever fill their ballpark above half-capacity, nobody would notice that some of the seats are blue and some are green.

  10. Rather than saying something negative about Oakland, I will say that I respect that you have so much love and pride for your hometown. And as far as Cali sports and politics go, perhaps if Gavin Newsom had grown up on your side of the Bay, things might be different. 😂

  11. Cincinnati doesn't need another pro team. They don't even support the Bengals and the Reds unless they're winning. And once the honeymoon phase with FC Cincinnati wears off and THEY start losing, fans will quit going to those games as well. I very highly doubt anyone there is going to support an expansion hockey team that will more than likely be lousy most of its first decade of existence while it builds up its roster.

  12. I hate to be "that guy", but Buffalo and Erie County kind of did it to themselves with their voting habits. They vote people like Cuomo, Hochul, and Poloncarz in, watch themselves get screwed time and time again, and STILL go to the polls and re-elect them.

  13. I wonder if Kentucky would try to wrestle the Bengals away if that's the case.

  14. MLB should just contract the A's and play with only 4 teams in the AL West until Vegas gets a stadium built, and then award them an expansion franchise.
