I agree with Colonel Zoidberg. This trade would be ridiculous in any circumstance. Unless Marino hits somebody with his car this is ASB.
Greatness: A sports collaborative timeline
Yeah. Let’s wipe that out if everyone’s OK with it. If the Saints want to offload Hebert and build for the future, maybe they can hose a shitty team that ends up with the #1 and gets Bledsoe.

Anything is better than the pure lunacy of Dan Marino being traded. How incompetant could somebody be to see somebody suggest giving the Saints a good QB and turn that into the Dolphins trading two average players and a pick for a Hall of Famer in his prime coming off a Super Bowl win not two years previous. I mean C'mon.

One problem with the list, the Clippers moved back to San Diego after Donald Sterling died and new owners bought the team
Even in threads like this, there should be a thought process to changes. Jeter to the Expos? Solid (although this Yankees fan is struggling a bit with it…and odds are he probably will finish his career in pinstripes because that was his stated career goal.) But it works well and it will work well long term.
Also, glad Mexico City is on the NBA expansion list.
Yankees... Red Wings... Dolphins, who the heck is your NBA team? (I'm of course a Suns fan being from AZ, but I like the Trail Blazers more since I live near PDX. Also the 2001 World Series was the best World Series ever and Luis Gonzalez is the biggest Hero in the history of American Sports.) Just intrigued since you sound a little like a bandwagon fan, no offense. (Dolphins because Dan Marino, Yankees because duh, Red Wings because of all that success in the 90s/2000s/early 2010s.
It was Dallas (as a fan of Mark Cuban) after the NBA lockout, though that team was my only reason to follow the league. When word about their toxic culture came out, I stopped following the league altogether.
Incidentally I’m from central Ohio; the Yankees had their AAA team here, and Derek Jeter was Clipper of the Year before he moved on to the Yankees and became who he is. I actually had my picture taken with him, though I had probably the ugliest hair and glasses on the planet. (It’s also how I got attached to the Red Wings - before we had an NHL team, they and the Penguins were the closest thing we had to local teams.)
Oh, okay. Phoenix didn't have an MLB team for a while (not until I was 8) and I wasn't into baseball until the D-Backs came along (got into sports as soon as AZ got a big four team so Basketball and Football were my first loves since the Suns and Cardinals came along before I was born), but they had a minor league team and I believe it was I wanna say it was a Brewers farm club when I was a kid but I'm not sure. Guessing you're too young to remember the Cleveland Barons (the O.G. Ohio NHL team) when they were a thing (my Dad actually has an old Barons hat).
You would expect nothing less from a team owned by a guy who said if he died, he would come back as himself.
I am a Hurricanes fan, but other than that I am all Detroit. I was 4 and Lions were my favorite animal, and then I learned there was a team in the NFL called Lions. I also supported the Tigers and Pistons about 2-3 years later. But I never adopted the Red Wings, so I failed to support the best team in the city of Detroit. Pain.
