We've seen it before. Maybe the 'flavor of the month' and they never really materialize into anything. They may have a star or two the media drools over; however there's really no substance or thinking they can actually compete for a title. Soccer, Rugby, Cricket, NFL, NHL, MLB....or NBA ....whatever.... What team out there is just a lightning rod for 'Coolness'? Wait - did I say 'Lightning'? i.e. Lightning and the Thunder - ala Simmons and Embiid?  |

i love what's going on in the NHL with Las Vegas too. really rooting for them. nobody thought hockey would thrive out there and there's been fears about the Raiders in the NFL too. i was one of the people who laughed at the thought of hockey in Las Vegas. good for them - and good for Las Vegas - great theater what's going on out there - hope they win the Cup |

In Aussie Rules Western Bulldogs 2016-17. Biggest flavour of the month ever. Hadn't won the comp since 1954. Finished 7th and took advantage of favourable match ups to get to the final 4. (Good luck to them). But then the BS started. Melbourne (who are home to 9 of the 18 teams in the AFL) became obsessed with the Bulldogs winning. They started getting an arm chair ride from umpires, getting not just all the 50/50 calls but also the 60/40 againsts as they narrowly beat both Sydney teams to win the comp (and again, good luck to them). Everyone in Victoria was a Bulldogs fan for that month while the rest of the country rolled their eyes. Love affair continued the next year. But all the luck in the world couldn't get that mediocre team back into the playoffs. This year they're one of the worst teams in the league, sitting in 15th.

Unfortunately you're right, the 76ers are pretty trendy right now.
But here's another choice: the Los Angeles Rams.
Already extremely cool last season due to their offensive-minded genius wunderkind head coach and the dominance of Todd Gurley, they've now added Aqib Talib, Marcus Peters, Ndamukong Suh and more to become the NFL's Dream Team; they're set to be the darlings of the league in 2018. Every Rams game will be must-see TV.

I'd love to see the Browns turn things around - unfortunately I don't think the media/fans deem them as 'cool' though and they are still pretty much the butt of everyone's jokes. Hoping they shock some people this year and maybe pull off a 6-10 season. |

It may still have been lame, but why not just the Las Vegas Knights? The XFL got a lot of things wrong, but the Las Vegas Outlaws was a cool team name. |

I hope the Saints, Kangaoos and Demons get the treatment soon too. And hopefully, by then, the GWS Giants are struggling and thinking about moving to Canberra, and the 2 Brisbane sides have merged. |
