NJ Nets to Brooklyn
Full story
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1709548 "Are the Nets Brooklyn-bound? Looks like it. The current owners of the NBA franchise have told real estate developer Bruce Ratner that they intend to sell the team to his investors' group for about $300 million, according to Bloomberg News. In December, the Nets and the Yankees announced a preliminary agreement to end their YankeesNets partnership. That gave Nets owners Lewis Katz and Ray Chambers the green light to sell the team. Ratner has said he plans to move the team from the Meadowlands sports complex to Brooklyn, where he would build a new arena. Newsday is also reporting that an announcement is imminent. When asked by ESPN.com on Thursday if a sale was imminent, both NBA commissioner David Stern and Phoenix Suns managing partner Jerry Colangelo, who is also chairman of the NBA board of governors, declined comment."

wow.....
really blows for the NJ sports revenue... but when they constantly refuse to make any improvements to that sucky sucky stadium, and that jersey city stadium proposal dying... it was kinda inevitable.

so...
if you're a Yankees fan, that means you're a Knicks fan, right? then, if you're a Mets fan, you're a Nets fan (?) so.... you've got the Jets, the Mets, and now the Nets.

I grew up in Jersey. I was a Devils, Knicks, Giants fan. Hated the Yanks, Rangers, Nets, and Islanders. The Sabres...well, they're Buffalo..that's way out there ;-)

i'm north jersey as well...
i like the Mets, Knicks, and Islanders... I think it was the common colors that made me like the islanders. mets and knicks were just a given (originally from queens, right near shea stadium, and knicks were the basketball team in nyc) |

why does gigger attract all these stalkers? other than his beautiful face and sexy ass, of course
 anyway, i could care less if we get another sucky, overrated sports team in this city. actually, i would prefer the nets to the knicks. ugh! although now i kinda have to like the knicks because zeke's running them. |
