330: The 4th Annual(-ish) Year-End Holiday Roundtable Spectacular!
Manage episode 391490832 series 1405087
We press the rewind button on a most interesting 2023, and peer ahead into the uncharted waters of 2024 with our fourth-annual(-ish) Holiday Roundtable Spectacular - featuring three of our favorite fellow defunct sports enthusiasts: Andy Crossley (Fun While It Lasted & Episode 2); Paul Reeths (StatsCrew.com, OurSportsCentral.com & Episode 46); and Steve Holroyd (Crossecheck, Philly Classics & Episodes 92, 109, 149, 188 & 248).
Takes of varying temperatures fly as we review some of the most inspiring and curious events of the past year, debate who and what might be next to wobble into obscurity, and conjecture about future scenarios for the next generation of defunct and otherwise forgotten pro sports teams and leagues - including:
- USFL 2.0 + XFL 3.0 = TBD 2024
- Oakland A's to Las Vegas (maybe)
- Major League Cricket
- MiLB ownership consolidation
- The Savannah Bananas
- Premier Lacrosse League: from tour to teams
- Professional Box Lacrosse Association (RIP)
- Women's pro volleyball
- MLS vs. US Soccer
- NBA, NHL & MLB expansion/relocation rumors
- NWSL expansion & TV deal
- Women's hockey 3.0: PWHL
PLUS, we speculate on the dubious third reincarnation of the Arena Football League!
