I was at the game in St. Pete. The Wingsfans outnumbered the Lighteningfans. It was all over the sports talk shows how embarrassed they were that the lower-bowl was all red.

The fact that you don't have a hoops team eliminates you as a sports town.

I went to a Bucs game and scalped a ticket for 20 bucks this season.

Explain these facts jackass. You are so fucking pathetic! A real sportstown has sellouts galore, sends fans into opposing arena's. Hell the region's teams don't even name themselves after the city, that's real pride there bitch. And if you don't think Tampa and St. Pete are wrought with urban blight...you are one misled bitch, but that's not news in these parts.

I have looked and looked, but I cannot find Tampa Bay on any of these lists.

another edit...check out #388!!

BUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUPER BOWL CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lions zero

And don't you have....I don't know 70-80 years on us?

Also, this thread is about how shitty detroit is and looks. I lived there. DOn't tell me its not a shit hole. The roads are the worst I have ever driven. Pot holes after pot holes. Fuck. What do you keep crying about? I never said Detroit was a bad sports town? Did I? Elite? Its a shit hole. A FUCKING shit hole. The best places to live are FAR AWAY from downtown. WHy is that? Oh, I forgot....its a shit hole.

You went beserk because you can't handle it. You cried like a little bitch because your city is gross and an embarrassment. This is coming from someone BORN there ya fucking iodot.

And coming back with sell-out smack is funny when Tampa is considered a baby among sports towns YET we have a SB and your shitty d-tonw DOES NOT!!!!!

BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck....we have the cup.

Fucking tool.

PS You better thank gawd we don't have a basketball team or we'd have titles in that too.

Did I really just read infrastructure smack?

Do you really think potholes are unique to Detroit? You're the fucking dumbass.

I'd rather have potholes than sinkholes (no that's not mom smack).

How's that crosstown expressway going, you know, the one that collapsed during construction? You want road smack, you got road smack baby!

Scrotumbreath,
The fact that we have been futile for so long, and yet continue to fill the stadium is all the more proof of Detroit being an elite sports town. Face it dickbag, you live in a fairweatherfan area.

Are you familiar with the term "Gooberville"?

T REX · Post by **T REX** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 6:25 pm

You are joking right?

Tampa vs Detroit???????

I never said Detroit wasn't a sports town. I ask for proof right now. Apparently you are too stupid to READ. It's just NOT an elite town for anything. Just because your lemurs go and see whatever joke Millen wants to put out there....hey.....that's great for such great sports fans. Hey, put any product out there and we will come. Nice....a shit hole and full of tards. Do you want to ask how many sell-outs Tampa has in a row? For as crappy as we once were...over 60+. Every game at RJS has been sold out.

Back to what I was saying.....anytime you want to compare Tampa with Detroit on all points. Please let me know.

How's the job market up there?

WolverineSteve · Post by **WolverineSteve** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 6:35 pm

Damn you're a tard. When the Bucs sucked (not that long ago junior) they couldn't give away tickets to watch the creamsicles. What franchise holds the record for consecutive seasons with 10+ losses? You guessed it TB. What team is the first team in history to win the Super Bowl and miss the playoffs the next 2 seasons? Yep, TB. Keep hanging your hat on that season. Enjoy Gooberville douchebag.

When you consider it's inherent weather advantages, it is a very poor sports area.

What evidence? Some hack article? that is what you are basing your argument on? Now I know you are a fucking tard. it is obvious whoever put this together HATES Tampa. I am sure its very scientific. What else do you believe that you read? Oh....that you are number three?

This is too funny......Lion fan trying to run smack on anyone. I am sure you'll draft another WR in the first round.

detroit(the #3 sports town according to hack magazine) ZERO SBs
TAMPA - ONE with about 80 less years at football

Nice job.

That list is ridiculous.

Putting a college town like Valpo on that list just because its basketball team shows a glimmer of success here and there doesn't make it a "sports town". Yeah, for a larger market, Tampa is a weak sports town, but I think the Bucs, Devil Rays and Lightning beats out Bryce Drew by just a tad.

WolverineSteve · Post by **WolverineSteve** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 8:48 pm

So let's sum it all up here...

Climate-
Detroit-Seasonal, including winter.
Tampa-Damn near tropical
edge Tampa

Famous Detroiters-Francis Ford Coppola
Charles Lindburgh
Henry Ford
Robin Williams

Famous errr., Tampons (?)- Darryl Strawberry
Dwight Gooden
Lou Pinella

Edge Detroit

Sports Venues.
Copa vs. Trop. Dome-Edge Detroit
Joe Louis vs. Forum-Edge Detroit
Ford Field vs.Ray Jay Edge Push
The Palace vs. n/a Edge Detroit

Sports Bars.
Detroit-Hockeytown Cafe, The Post (the original only!), Cobo Joe's, Lindel AC, Anchor Bar, Nemo's
Tampa-Ferg's, Slapshots (I think. Down by the forum), Andreychuks(sp)
Edge-Detroit

Teams.
Tigers vs. D-Rays-Edge Detroit
Red Wings vs. Lightening- Edge Detroit
Lions vs Bucs-Edge Tampait hurts me to give you this one.
Pistons vs. nobody Edge Detroit

Culture.
Detroit-Foxtown theatre district, Greektown, Mexicantown,DIA, Henry Ford Museum, Auto HOF, Corktown, Hamtramk

Tampa-Doli Museum, MOSI, Ybor City

edge Detroit

Industry
Detroit-Auto
Tampa-I guess Tourism. Edge Tampa I could argue, but you're getting killed.

Roads.
Detroit- full of potholes.
Tampa-Full of blue haired fossils.
edge Push

So as you can see the scales are tilted in Detroits favor here. Motown's got it all. Sure you've got year round sunshine, beaches, smooth roads, and lower unemployment. But Detroit is more about what it doen't have. What makes Detroit a far better place to be is the fact that Trix doesn't live there. Tampa claiming Trix gives Detroit ultimate BODE!!

That's my time. Enjoy the game.

I stopped reading at RJS vs Ford Field.

RJS is voted teh best place to play by the players year in and year out. You are a classless homer and a complete tard with zero cred.

Nice of you to leave out CRIME, the beach, Mons, the weather, no INCOME tax, nevermind. You a stupid fuck that keeps trying to pimp a shithole. You still haven't proven that its NOt a shithole.

You want more????

Nudie Bars.

Tampa- Mons Venus, speaking of shitholes. No Booze, 6 ft. no touch law.
Detroit-BT's, The Landing Strip. Plenty of booze, vip rooms for private dances.

Edge Detroit

I did mention the beaches you dumb boardbitch. I didn't mention how your fucking town is in a state of emergency tonight from one whole day of rain...pussies. No state income tax...woh you think that makes up for the 20% less in salaries. Poverty, you want to talk poverty. One thing that comes with year round sunshine is heaps of homeless people. Even if they have a home, Florida leads the nation in Mobile home residents. WTF!!! Speaking of shitholes. Nice fucking school system you got going down there.

Not in most people's opinion.

When I was ranking the 56 field offices for my relocation out of Quantico, Tampa was #1 and Detroit was #53. It was ahead of San Juan, San Fran and NYC only. San Juan for obvious reasons and SF and NYC because of the cost of living. They're both much nicer than Detroit.

So they sent me to Houston (#12).
