Which Franchise Rules YOUR city??

**imported_MOX** · September 26th, 2008, 02:19 PM

Just read an interesting article in ESPN The Magazine by Rick Reilly. Which franchise rules your city? This is an article about which sports team, professional or collegiate rules each city. If each city could have only ONE team and had to send the others packing to Russia, which team would they keep? This is the teams that Reilly chose.

Denver - Broncos
St. Louis - Cardinals
Washington - Redskins
Dallas - Cowboys
Atlanta - UGA football
Baltimore - Ravens
Boston - Red Sox
Charlotte - Nascar
Chicago - Bears
Cleveland - Browns
Detroit - Red Wings
Houston - Astros
Indianapolis - Colts barely eding out the Indy 500
Los Angeles - Lakers
Miami - Dolphins over The U
Minneapolis - Vikings
New York - Yankees
Philadelphia - Phillies
Phoenix - Suns
San Francisco - 49ers
Seattle - Seahawks
Tampa Bay - Bucs

I was wondering what everybody elses choices would be? Boston is probably the hardest one to call, but it probably would the the BoSox(partially bc I wouldnt mind to see the Pats go). In Detroit I'd take the Pistons over the Red Wings just bc I'm not a fan of hockey so I would'nt miss them at all. Houston, I'd have to go with the Rockets. I would keep the Eagles over the Phillies and everything else is pretty much close.

Picking the shitty ass Dolphins over The U is blasphemy, IMO. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

Come on, he is writing for espn. He can't be too smart.

Not a question about it, the Red Sox own Boston.

I would have thought it would be the Braves for Atlanta.

a rare post from lbu. the nittany lions must have you feelin good these days?

His reason for not choosing the Braves is because they couldn't sell out playoff games. He said if they couldn't do that, then they must not rule the city.
