Name the 10 Largest Metropolitan areas in the USA that do NOT have a team in one of the 4 major sports leagues: NFL/MLB/NBA/NHL
Answers:
1. Austin TX 2. Virginia Beach/Norfolk 3. Greensboro NC 4. Louisville KY 5. Greeneville/Spartanburg SC 6. Hartford Conn. 7. Grand Rapids Mich. 8. Birmingham Ala. 9. Fresno CA 10. Harrisburg Pa. and 11 is Ft. Myers/Naples Fla.
While I did not include the MLS.....which maybe in a few years will have to be included in what constitutes a "Major" sports league in the US and Canada......Austin IS scheduled to have an MLS expansion team begin play in 2021. When that happens it will be the ONLY city with an MLS team but not a team in the other major sports.

Soccer is big in the school system all around Austin & surrounding area, so that's a good move.
Trivia trick question: Who is the most famous soccer player ever to come out of the Central Texas High School system? Here's a hint. Someone still pays him after more than 20 years as a pro.

Well, I was going by the current situation. But yes, Hartford HAD an NHL team. But no longer.

Technically, the Eagles and the Yellow Jackets were completely separate franchises. Eagles happened to take over in Philly after YJs went defunct. So that answer is technically wrong. And while the WTFs were the Redskins....before they were the Redskins they had another name.
Plus there is one other you are missing.

Robbie Gould?
Close-played at PennSt since he came from Penn. But he did play soccer & football just like Georgetown, Texas soccer & football player Mason Crosby of the GB Packers after making 1st Team AA as a kicker at Colorado. I saw him kick one night in Georgetown and on about a 40 yd. FG the ball went so far that it left the lights into the darkness out of the back of the open stadium. Never seen anything like it before or since on the HS level. It was one of those plays where you stand up and go, "Holy Shit! Did I just see that??!!"?

Here is today's Trivia Question:
Tomorrow we play the Titans......but if you recall, the Titans used to be known as The Oilers.
I count at least 6 other current NFL teams that at one point were known by another "nickname". Name as many of these as you can.
Answers: all given:
Chiefs fka Dallas Texans
Bears were Staleys for like 2 years
Lions were Spartans in Portsmouth
Steelers began as Pirates
Jets began as Titans
WTFs began as Braves in Boston, then became Redskins. ...only current team that I am aware of that has been through 3 names
Then there are the Tennessee Titans that were the Houston Oilers (they did remain the Oilers for like 2 years after moving.)
Who here thinks that the current team in Houston should go back to being known as the Oilers? Before the Texans were created, the city of Houston did go to Bud Adams...owner of the Titans, and ask if they could have the name Oilers. Either he flat out refused, or that old greedy fucking asshole wanted like 25 million for the name.

Well, in researching....it seems that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Bud Adams daughter, Amy Adams Strunk, is apparently as big of a Khunt about the Oilers name as her old greedy bastard piece of shit of a dad was:
It won’t happen. Amy Adams Strunk—daughter of Bud Adams, the man who founded the Oilers in 1960 and moved them to Nashville in 1997—told Titans beat reporter Paul Kuharsky that the prospect of the Texans playing in Oilers uniforms wasn’t even up for discussion. “Very interesting, except the Oilers don’t have anything to do with the Texans,” she said. “So that’s a hard no.”
Strunk’s statement is correct from a legal perspective. The Texans and Titans are distinct businesses, each controlling their own intellectual property and trademarks. But what she said is also absurd. Of course the Oilers have something to do with the Texans—they’re both NFL franchises that have called the same city home. The people of Houston celebrated triumphs and mourned failures with each, investing emotionally and buying heaps of team logo-emblazoned merchandise along the way.

While today is Pearl Harbor Day.... this trivia question has absolutely nothing to do with that:
The Browns are on the cusp of making the playoffs.
Name all the current NFL teams that the Browns have NOT met in postseason play in their history. There are quite a few.

Next year will be the 80th Anniversary of attack on Pearl Harbor.
