Makes sense to move Memphis to the East since they’re on that side of the Mississippi.


Yes, Memphis is further east, but Minnesota is currently on its own little island up there when it comes to the Western Conference, and right next to all the Central Division teams, while Memphis is still pretty close to NO, OKC, and the Texas teams

Hearing how Max talks about the formula right now sounds just like Lewis when the ground effect era started. Just doesn't have a feel for the car or just has a car that can't compete.


Has nothing to do with feel. When he pushes the gas pedal it goes slower because they made these cars half electrical.

Look at it another way. There’s an electric series and lets say they have been around for decades. And then they decide to add gas engines powering 50% of car. Do you think electric drivers would embrace gas engines after decades?

It’s not a typical race car now. It’s all robotic vs driver skill. You are basically just an in-car engineer vs a driver. He hates that and I don’t blame him.

Why not create a sub series for half gas and half electric? You chased away a lot of fans to push electric when fans want gas HP and driving skill.

What would Roger Denny say to those who are upset Porter Moser is coming back?

Denny told the Dari Nowkhah Show:

“To the folks that say Porter needs to go, I would love to see someone tell me how spending somewhere between six and 10 million dollars on transaction costs, that never find their way into making our program better. How that’s going to have more return on investment, than taking our resources and going out and adding more talent in our staff and in our roster.”
Thats what got Al Capone busted, taxes


SEC teams play 10 series

OU plays 6/10 currently ranked
2 Road
4 Road
5 Road
18 Home
22 Neutral OKC)
23 Home (played past weekend)

LSU Road (just dropped out T25 but are a tough team no matter what ranking is)

Our unranked teams are Bama/Mizzou/Vandy (home/home/away)

OU plays 6 of 10 vs currently ranked but 7/10 if you count LSU who are on cusp and dangerous

I can't even remember at this point, why did they leave Settle in the first place?


They didn’t want to build a new arena so the Landthieves stole them and are building a new $1b arena to open in 2028.

Seattle then rebuilt their arena opening in 2021 and named it Climate Pledge Arena hosting WNBA and Hockey
That may be true. I just posted the current values. If expansion teams are willing to pay that much power to them. And it would increase value of all existing teams by default
Nice

Sooners Brendan Brock named SEC Player of the Week. He hit .444 with 5 xtra base hits, including 2 HRs and 8 RBIs in 4 games last week vs. UT-Arlington, Texas A&M.

Brock leads OU in hits (25), HRs (6) & slugging (.718)

Are you high

Its per team. The franchise price will be 7-9 billion or so per team


That seems wrong. The avg current franchise value is $5.52b. The 4th highest valued team is worth 6.9b meaning 27 teams are valued less than the number you listed.

The 30 existing teams will see a decrease of $15 million a season by adding two teams under the current tv deal.

That’s the math. A $15m cut in revenue for the foreseeable future in return for an immediate influx of $500m.


Is that $500m per team or league? If it’s per league thats $16.7m per team. And if per team that means new teams put in $15b? That seems high
This would be awesome

2028 season opener, OKC opens up their new billion dollar arena against the Seattle SuperSonics.

@ShamsCharania

This first vote will allow the league to explore purchase processes for Las Vegas and Seattle. There will then be a potential final vote later in the year to finalize transactions to 32 teams -- if bids reach necessary threshold. In both voting rounds, 23 of 30 governors must vote in favor.

—-

Keep in mind yes the upfront money to teams is good. But then the TV pie is split 32 ways vs 30 ways so you might lose money if TV deals aren’t increased.

And don’t forget they’ll have an expansion draft. Each team can protect X amount of players and the rest can be drafted by the new teams. There would be limit how many players can be taken from each team it might 1.

Since both teams are in west that means 1 team currently in west has to move to eastern conf. Minny/Memphis to me seem like best candidates.

Then you have to redo all the western divisions. I’d love to see OKC/Seattle in same division but regardless, that would be a fun hate filled rivalry. Sports loves those

Yes, you guys swept us last year in a cold dreary weekend. Our pitching took a hit and Cam had a short outing as well. Now he goes back to where he started so I’m curious if he can get control back as fans likely win’t be kind to him.

"Denver is being pitched as a new stop on the IndyCar circuit with a high-speed car race around Empower Field at Mile High proposed to start as soon as next year. The multiday Indy Grand Prix in Denver could start their engines as soon as 2027."
