NFL?

I think Smith might want to focus on running one team well before bringing in more teams? Maybe I am the only one who is not all in on what he has done with the Jazz.

Maybe Smith is in the mood to design more uni's.

This could be good for the Jazz... go worry about the new baseball or football team while the basketball people take care of things.

NFL?

My guess is MLB.

Having a baseball team would be amazing. The same goes for a hockey team.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Noooooooo!!!!! I already have a favorite football and baseball team and they win championships, hell the Braves won last year and the 49ers played for one in 19. This sucks!!!

Utah Cutthroat Trout?
Utah Killers Bees?
Utah Antelope Island Wolverines?
So many names from which to choose.

I think a baseball or NHL team would be huge for SLC. NFL probably not so much with Sundays and the LDS community.

I like the prospect of NHL as hockey right now isnt overly popular in Utah but the possibility of it becoming extremely popular is there.

It just shows that running a team isn't his goal or passion. He wants to run a sports media conglomerate. So don't count on much in terms of sacrifices for the jazz. He's too busy making soccer popular somehow and ****.

Hopefully that's why he brought Ainge in and I would hope Wade would have some impact on running the team. That way we don't have to worry about Ryan being more concerned with his multiple investments than he is putting a winning team on the floor.

We have Bucknered this to death in so many threads already. I just don't have the energy.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

So for all those who expect the Jazz to be sold to Vegas... don't make much sense to bring in a 3rd pro team just to abandon the most established sports team in the state.

I'm a Braves and 49ers fan too! Sports has been great, except the Jazz now, lol

My guess is MLB.

Can they play MLB games in early April there?

I guess your schedule could start with six road games so that your first home game in mid-April but still…

 

[infection]

Just wait until Ryan brings in a household name like Bill Murray and we call a team something like The Salt Lake Trappers.

 

[Avery]

Not going to happen anytime soon. MLB isn’t expanding and the NFL will look to other markets.

Expect a pro team to end up being lacrosse or something.

 

[Gameface]

If it's not NFL then I don't care.

MLB would be a far off second choice.

Hockey would be 5x less interesting than MLB.

SLC is NOT a baseball town, it's NOT a Hockey town, but this is very much a football town.

I think anything other than NFL is going to flop and leave the state within 10 years of whatever their opening day is.
