Albany,n.y. Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 When I lived in Long Island in the 1980s I drove to a few games at the old Giants Stadium. Sometimes I drove through Manhattan to get there. Manhattan is very close to East Rutherford via the Lincoln Tunnel.

CA OC Bills Fan Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 43 minutes ago, Gugny said: Is there a bigger head-scratcher than the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim? Yeah, that's a great one. Living in Orange County CA (Anaheim is in OC, for those that don't know, Disneyland is in Anaheim very near where the Angels and Ducks play), I followed that story closely. The Angels wanted money from Anaheim to pay for stadium upgrades shortly after the LA Lambs stopped sharing the stadium with them and moved to St. Louis. The agreement was that the Angels had to change their name from CA Angels to Anaheim Angels. Pretty sure this was when Disney owned both the Ducks and Angels. Then, Disney sold the Angels a few years later and the new owner felt that if the team was called LA Angels it would generate more interest and therefore more $. After lawsuits, they compromised on that absurd name. So, the owner got their LA and Anaheim was able to keep themselves as part of the name. And, of course the Angels never changed stadiums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are all the lakes in LA? There is a common misconception about the Lakers nickname glossed over by many. Lakers nickname was coined by a media guy when Lakers moved to MN. Inspired by the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" state motto. In reality they are named after the Lakes only secondary in relation to the true meaning of what a Laker is. A laker is a lake trout that live in most MN lakes. Also a shipping ship that trolls the Great Lakes. It is not a lake or people that live on or around lakes etc etc.. LA and Cali do not have a lot of lakes but the ones they do have, have lake trout in them. So they are the Lakers that are in the nickname. They could develop a mean ferocious lake trout logo if they desired and it would fit. Since laker ships do not troll Cali lakes a ship would not fit.

The historical range of 1800 American Bison extends up into the southtowns regions. It can be surmised some bisons roamed in Orchard Park and likely some strays ventured into what is now Buffalo city limits proper. Older range research shows range covered complete Buffalo area.
