I so agree! I loved having our two Cardinal teams in the STL (Redbirds and Big Red is how we kept them straight.)

The TV ratings were way down, so there were obviously a lot of other fans who did the same thing.
I think most sports fans have a profound thing about fairness. We are passionate about that.

Many also saw it as “Meh” vs “Not Again?”

I think either the Chiefs or the Saints would have evoked more interest generally. Whether it is fair or not, fans in general are not as impressed with Goff as with Mahomes.

What I always heard people say was ‘football Cardinals’ and ‘baseball Cardinals’ which always made me chuckle because it sounds so generic. Good thing the Blues weren’t also called the Cardinals.

When the Oilers when to Nashville, they became the Titans. Of course, there are not many oil derricks in Tennessee.

They were the Tennessee Oilers for 2 years (1997 and 1998) and became the Tennessee Titans beginning with the 1999 season. I remember it well.

There are only a few teams that I can not picture anywhere else except where they are now… the Vikings, the Packers, the Broncos, the Cowboys and the Bears…maybe one or two others. The rest can be moved around all they want as they just don’t seem to be as rooted in their communities.

Now, it’s all about the new stadium with the luxury box seats. I.e. money
 
ABSOLUTELY. I’ve hardly ever been so disappointed in my life! The Dallas Stars made up for it by showing it on the jumbo-tron during their halftime. I think I’ll start watching hockey now.
 
And its neomasonic satanist halftime show was as dark and creepy as the commercials…

I loved hearing Chris Berman say, “New, York, Football, Giants”…
 
To distinguish them from the San Francisco (previously New York) Giants? You know I never thought about that.

The official name of the organization is actually “The New York Football Giants.” The name of Giants was taken by the baseball team in 1886.
 
Lol @ Fr. Rippenger finding tattoos effeminate. I find making up fancy reasons to get catty about what other men do pretty effeminate.
 
The Saints? A Sazerac wouldn’t have the same spirit anywhere else. Nothing does.

New Orleans cannot be copied because New Orleans is all about being herself, warts or not. To imitate New Orleans honestly would just be being yourself somewhere else. That’s not to say another place being itself can’t awesome in its own way, but it would never be the same. It shouldn’t even be attempted.

I think that tattoos have been traditionally for men, and women with prominent tattoos are a very new thing.

I’m not really surprised by his tattoos. Where I live many people have many tattoos.

It was pretty rare in the past for a man who was usually sober to end up looking like a vandalized boxcar, though.

Excessive tattooing reminds me of Henry IV’s contemptuous assessment of the foolishness of royalty that allows itself to become too common:
They surfeited with honey and began
To loathe the taste of sweetness, whereof a little
More than a little is by much too much. (Henry IV, Part 1, Act 3, Sc 2)
