I’m just going off your guys vote for an nfl team to move there back in 2016 or whatever. Portland wanted it then. Idk about now. But San Diego, St. Louis, and Oakland went else where. (With the move even penalizing the nfl/rams almost a billion dollars to St. Louis) Montreal is on the list as well because they have a stadium and I guess that specific cfl team is like the patriots of the cfl. And the cfl doesn’t hardly intervene the nfl season unless postseasons are accounted.

Montreal only cares about the Habs. Look at the fantastic MLB team they had and just wouldn't support the Expos.... they don't give much attention to the Alouettes either.

The NFL won't move into Canada unless the CFL defunks, and then it would be likely Toronto and/or Vancouver, whom both have better stadiums than Montreal. Edmonton and Saskatchewan are the most supportive locations in the CFL, but neither could justify a NFL team.

The NFL supports the CFL because it's like a farm league, those who aren't quite good enough or ready for the NFL can play in Canada and gain experience, then get picked up by a NFL team if good enough.

I don't know what vote you're talking about but it wasn't the taxpayers that would be paying for a new stadium. It just won't work in Portland. The "If you build it they will come" is just a slogan. A better way to bring NFL to Portland would be to make it an "Oregon" team and build a stadium south of Portland somewhere around Eugene. That way you'd get more fans that are not going to drive to Portland to watch a game and it's close enough to Portland that Portland fans would make the drive south.

I have absolutely no problem with any sports team coming to this area. They just need to bring their own money if they do.

Just some sports illustrated stuff Nothing fancy. Prolly as creditable as tmz. Lol. But non the less. Portland is brought up a lot when it comes to expansion teams now. Same for Montreal and London with the jags https://www.si.com/.amp/nfl/2019/06/07/expansion-cities-san-diego-portland-montreal-oklahoma-city-bismarck-anchorage

I didn't word my post correctly. I hope I didn't come off the wrong way with my reply.

But yeah Portland comes up a lot just due to the fact that there's a ton of money here and we have a bunch of corrupt people willing to bend the taxpayer over to make a profit. But it's the same everywhere. These people are just looking for any city that will fund their business. I sure hope Portland doesn't become one. There are better uses for money than a sports stadium.

I also really dislike paying for a sports venue and then having to pay additional money to use it or pay for some expensive addition to cable to be able to watch the home games because they're blacked out.

I better stop because I could go on and on about it.

Do you think it's feasible/possible that Portland gets a NHL team, especially now with the Seattle Kraken

I didn't know Seattle got their own NHL team. That's my hometown. We use to go watch Thunderbirds games all the time. Funner than any NHL game I've been too. Way more fights.

Vegas had very favourable drafting rules that gave them an above average first year team....the Kraken didn't get the same luxury.

The Golden Knights made it to the Stanley Cup in 2018, but did not win it.

Quite the game between Seattle and San Francisco, especially if you are a Seahawks fan.

The opening kick off resulted in an ambulance having to drive on field to haul off injured 49er Trenton Cannon... haven't heard any details yet.

Seattle scores first, then SF kicks into gear.... they battle back and forth with interceptions, fumbles and missed converts/field goals.

SF did not play a great second half but had a golden opportunity to tie the game with seconds to go, but failed to make the last 3 yards for the TD

The 49ers chance of a wild card position is fading away.

I thought it was quite the precarious call by the Ravens to attempt the 2 point conversion to win the game rather than playing it safe and going for the single point to tie it up.

I'm not buying John Harbaugh excuse "we were pretty much out of corners at that point in time".

The only excuse you could make for the Ravens was, they were on the road and he wanted it to end it there. I was yelling for him to “kick it” at the tv.

NBA teams typically go for the win on the road and the tie at home in those kinda situations as well.
