Tuesday Night Random Thread:What Sport Do You Follow In The Off Season Edition

Well with the passing of the Superbowl so ends the season. Well at least from the prospective of us, the fans. Sure the NFL has become more or less of a year round league with news coming nearly every week in one form or another but many fans now start to gravitate towards other sports. Its a much different league from when I grew up. I can still remember scrambling for every bit of news I could get in the off season back then.
I subscribed to Dolphin Digest but while it was a weekly publication in the pre-season and during the season it was only a monthly publication in the off season. I would get it in the mail and read it front to back and then read it again several more times. I would also stop by the library at school a couple of times a week to read the current and back copies of the USA Today hoping to find any scrap of news about the Phins. Lets not even get in to the stacks of NFL previews that I purchased in my youth. Its not that I was a huge nerd like Nicky, I just really loved my Dolphins! Damn I hated the off season and God bless the internet (yes I am so old that when I was in school the internet was not a place that you could access news on your favorite NFL team).
There is of course the combine (February 22nd-28th) in Indianapolis this month. Leading up to that we should see some stories about guys from around the country training with this guy or at this place or another in preparation for the draft. I read recently that the great Michael Johnson, who owns a top flight training center (http://elite.michaeljohnsonperformance.com/NFL_combine_training/) here in the DFW metroplex is preparing for his annual influx of big name NFL recruits to come in and train for their next step in life. I am sure this sort of thing is going on all over the country.
Then of course a couple of weeks following the combine is the beginning of the league year for the NFL followed by the beginning of the free agency period ( Tuesday, March 13, 2012, at 4:00 pm ET). Then starts the lead in to the draft (April 26 to April 28, 2012).
Of course we will all be here following the every move of our beloved Dolphins but when you are not knee deep in the middle of the NFL season what sport do you spend the most time following and who is your team in that sport? Most of you that know me probably already know that mine is baseball and the Texas Rangers. What is yours?

Mine is Hockey and the New York Rangers
And this looks like quite the year for them. Not to mention my T-Wolves are actually playing .500 ball this deep into the season which is quite an improvement. I love my Yankees as well, but baseball is getting nauseating to me. Not fun when it’s win or bust every year, gotta set a salary cap
NO MORE BACKUPS!!
A Yankees fan that is in favor of a hard cap? You know why it will never happen?

IMO baseball desperately needs a hard cap
I remember watching the ‘96 World Series with my grandfather when I was 10. That championship over the dominant Braves coming back from 2-0 series deficit was awesome. That joy has been washed away. 2009 was more like half relief half "it’s about time" than anything. I was happy, but maybe 15% of the thrill I had felt nearly two decades ago now. I mean Texiera, Sabathia, etc. it would have been a disgrace if they had lost that year. I’d like to just call up the entire farm system and start from scratch. The fun and prestige of Don Mattingly, Paul O’Neil, Tino Martinez, Bernie Williams, Scott Brocious, etc are gone.
To answer your question, I’m not sure but I suppose all owners would have to come to an agreement that the higher financed organizations wouldn’t do?
NO MORE BACKUPS!!
But a hard cap does not fix the problems. Where do you set the cap? There were years that KC spent less then
30 mil. in payroll and still lost money while the Yankees spent nearly 200 mil and still made giant profits. Its a media market size thing and what each team can generate from the broadcasting of the games. If the NFL were like MLB GreenBay would have zero shot against the large markets. Its like the genie that is out of the bottle. You can not go back and change the structure of how baseball operates. At least no in this generation and not while a Steinbrenner is running the Yankees.

Football, the Miami Dolphins
I pay more attention to that during the offseason than all the other sports put together lol
The only thing that comes close is the NBA finals
Watching the heat game now...
….so yea
I watch the lanterns too, but wen both r playing (like today) I’m watching the heat
Miami's Superstars: Reggie Bush, Brandon Marshall, Jake Long, Mike Pouncey, Karlos Dansby, Cameron Wake, Vontae Davis and Sean Smith (just wait), Lebron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Mike Stanton, Gaby Sanchez, Hanley Ramirez, Josh Johnson, Heath Bell, Mark Buehrle, Jose Reyes, Tomas Fleischmann, Stephen Weiss, Jose Theodore, and Chris Versteeg. :)
same here ... I even started listening to Miami sports talk radio stations because they tend to talk Dolphins football...
On the Michael Irving show on 560 WQAM, Irving was explaining today how he wants to talk Manning into coming to Miami to play, and how he would make the case to come to Miami(he is a Miami native and a big Dolphins fan). Believe me Mr. Ross, you want him to talk to him… even if it is unofficially right now.
He also got into the Brandon Marshall issue today and yelled at someone who was talking about Marshall dropping the ball today. He pretty much made the point that I have been making the past few weeks… and he is a hall of fame WR…. so take that however you want it …
We had [Brady] down… but we didn’t kick him. We helped him up and gave him a PowerPuff Girls band-aid for his knee. What exactly did you expect would happen when we did that?

I follow Soccer, here in mexico it's the main sport
but I watch football before I start to watch soccer…
but in offseason I play a lot Madden
So do you like me believe that Mexico city is a prime spot for an NFL franchise? I think it would be brilliant.
London is totally foolish but Mexico and Canada seem like no-brainers.
"Theyas no fawking qwatahback!"-Anonymous Patriots fan at seeing the Wildcat formation for the first time.
in 60's and 70's trhe college football in mexico grow a lot
and then the NFL start to be transmitted in Mexico, and the fathers of my generation (I’m in 30’s) got in love of the NFL.
in central and north Mexico are a lot popular NFL, MLB and NBA (I think in this order)
Yeah its huge in Texas with the Mexican community. Another reason why I think a team in San Antonio would
do well. Also now the 7th largest city in the US and the only one in the top 9 other then LA without an NFL franchise. Also with Austin (the 14 largest city) just up the road not to mention all the other cities in the area it would have plenty of fans to pull from.
"Theyas no fawking qwatahback!"-Anonymous Patriots fan at seeing the Wildcat formation for the first time.
I honestly think they should just add a team to every division
It may seem like a lot for now, but it will be Bette in the long run. My top choices for cities would be savannah GA, Los Angeles, Mexico city, San Antonio, London, salt lake city and maybe Tallahassee or Newark.

Your high if you think they will EVER put a team in Alaska. You need people to go to the games to begin with.
You listed several cities without the population to carry a franchise. Besides Juneau, Savannah, Salt Lake City and Tallahassee are all too small and your overlooking the fact that much larger cities are without a franchise. The NFL looks at media markets. Think of it in those terms. Hell some of the cities do not even have an adequate airport for the mass movement of out of town fans.

Um pretty sure that the Browns would object to another team in their city as would Green Bay
to one in Milwaukee. London is like the WORST idea ever. Do you have any concept of how long it is to fly there or here from there? How would any team have a shot flying to the US and back 8 time a year? Not to mention the other teams that are not going to want to fly there or foot the bill for the extra travel to get there. NO ITS A TERRIBLE IDEA!

Also the idea of having the Superbowl overseas is about as stupid a thing as Goodell has ever suggested.

I don't know....... that might actually be a good thing.
I have a lot of European friends that don’t like “North American football” but love to watch the Super Bowl. It could help create more fans.
I don’t think it’s as terrible idea as having a team in London.

Yes but to take away a $200,000,000 impact from a US city to send it to another

Yes but as most fans are I can see quite an uproar over taking it out of the States.

Plus remember outside of the TV contracts the most money they bring
in is from sponsorship’s. If they do something that riles up the fans has causes any sort of backlash it will potentially cost them sponsorship dollars. Just another reason it will never happen.

For those coming into town
the weekend of the game (who work during the week) Saturday is the day you’d go shopping, hit up amusement parks, go out to clubs etc. Moving the game to Saturday, you miss that. And most would travel back Sunday instead of staying after the game to do those same things.
by PhinNomenol! on Feb 7, 2012 11:36 PM EST via Android app up reply actions
In the end if the NFL thought that moving the game
up a day would somehow bring them a bigger TV audience and thus more TV revenues then it might happen. The effect on the host city is not going to be forefront in their mind as TV revenues are the lions share of what they bring in. Also they know that cities will still scramble to host the game no matter what day of the week it is on.

Tallahassee? Lol
I’m in Tally currently, I don’t think there IS space for a stadium in Tallahassee. With two universities in town and a huge community college, it may be profitable… but it is also largely college students so prices may be too steep. This place almost becomes a ghost town during holidays, so the college population is pretty substantial.

Most Americans haven't
Obviously the NFL has the better players but the CFL is very exciting and is a lot different. There have been rules implimented in the NFL from the CFL (2 point conversion is the first to come to mind). I personally don’t follow it much just have gotten more into the NFL. The Grey Cup is a better trophy IMO and has been around since 1909.

The two point conversion was actually borrowed from college football as it was used there before the CFL ever used it.

Hockey...San Jose Sharks
And they’re finally going to win the Cup this year, guaranteed!
Better them than bastard Vancouver
What makes you so sure the Sharks won’t choke this year?
Melvin Ingram in 2012!
They got rid of that waste of space Heatley
He was taking up over $7.5M and was playing on the 3rd line in the playoffs! Highest paid player on the team with zero playoff value! That’s terrible! Plus they signed Havlat who is a proven playoff performer. They finally got their #2 D-man Brent Burns. Handzus was an under the radar pickup to sit in front of the net. And Couture has gotten just that much better this year.
Plus Pavelski is healthy this year.
I really think he was playing through a big injury last year which was why he was non-existent.
Don't be like that ;)

alright, let's say we get manning and don't take a qb this year
Here are your choices next year: Matt Barkley, Tyler Wilson, Landry jones, Tyler bray and Jordan Rodgers. Who do you take if manning shows he can last another 2 or 3 years. I would take Jordan and sit him behind manning the same way his bro Aaron sat behind favre.

People say we can't "afford" to trade up for RG3
If we have Manning (healthy) we are not going to have a top 15 pick (probably not even top 20), it’s going to cost a TON to move to #1. :)

I am pretty sure that his question was not if it were possible and who knows what happens between now and then
including with Barkleys draft value.

Hockey is my first love
I grew up playing hockey in the winter (well ice hockey, ball hockey is year round) and baseball in the summer. I follow the NBA and MLB but my 2 favorites are NHL & NFL. I will check the standings from time to time in the Premiership as well.
How is everyone tonight?

I am well and while hockey is not in my top 2 its a damn fine sport.
Surprisingly its gaining in popularity around here. Especially with the kids as there are a lot of youth organizations around here now vs. barely any at all 20 years ago.

Bottom line is, if the Colts do plan on cutting Manning at all, they want to try their best to say he was unfit to play to Colts fans.

20/20 is always hindsight...
… but what if it was the other way around and he didn’t work out?
Colts would look smart and the Pasties would be out a pick and player.
The Manning decision could go either way. Depending on the Colt’s cap space.
I don’t think his injury is going to fool anyone as an excuse.
He’ll still be recovering when the Colts make their decision.
Manning ain’t gonna be right till pre-season….
