Hint: That team is the reason why we are all here. 

 

Note: 49ers is not an acceptable answer.

I thought we were here to panic about other teams making trades.

I just trained Claude.AI in this. I asked it this question. First, it gave me the answer of Penguins. I corrected it, then it guessed Rockies, then Celtics. Then it said it didn't know the answer, and asked me if I knew. When I typed in Bills, it replied that it can now help other users with that same question. 

 

lol

Here is a better trivia question. Name the 9 teams in the 4 major US leagues whose names don't end with the letter "S"

 

NBA - Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Oklahoma City Thunder, Utah Jazz

 

NHL- Colorado Avalanche, Minnesota Wild, Tampa Bay Lightning

 

MLB - Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox

 

NFL - NONE. Every team's name ends with the letter "S" now that Washington went from Football Team to Commanders.

Athletics is proper name.

 

Like calling the Bruins: B's or Orioles: O's.

 

 

 

No one calls them the Athletics though.  No fan has ever said "I've got tickets to the Athletics game", "are you going to watch the Athletics vs the Yankees tonight?", etc.

As a recovering Athletics fan, that's about 80% true. Us left field bleacher type folks never once said, "Let's go to Thursday's Athletics game", but the word Athletics was used more than one would realize. 

 

Oh, F U C K John Fisher.

Sure they do! Says right on their jerseys AND in the ESPN box score.  That's their proper name.

 

Oh... And btw... They are from Philadelphia.   The Philadelphia Athletics.😏

That's relatively a new phenomenon, last 30 years in sports going non-plural.

 

X in Sox acts as the plural.  IMO

Jazz in New Orleans before Utah kinda started it. Oldest.  

 

 

 

 

Another trivia question.  All MLB teams use initials as logo, except 2 teams.  Name the two teams with out letters in their primary logo.  Really only one team.  But that's debatable...
