Waking up this morning I had one thing on the mind. Football. The Saints/Vikings in the NFC (Go Saints!) and the Jets/Colts in the AFC (Go somebody!), but as I viewed my normal resources one thing in particular stuck out in my update feeds. As I constantly scanned facebook (I’m probably borderline stalker, who am I kidding, full on stalker), my friend Jon who lives and breathes any type Wisconsin sports had this posted on his wall: “Did u hear about the news story that rumored the brewers moving to Orlando?” The Milwaukee Brewers are moving to Orlando!!! Ha. HA! I haven’t laughed that hard since I saw Dumb and Dumber for the very first time (Greatest. Movie. Ever. But that’s for another day). The story came from an Orlando television station, WFTV saying that the one team possibly willing to relocate, is the Milwaukee Brewers. Here’s what the Brewers staff had to say about the reports…
Totally untrue, Brewers vice president of communications Tyler Barnes said.
“The reporter or whoever else is putting that out there should do his homework,” Barnes said. “It’s irresponsible. We just finished ninth in attendance, we have one of the best ballparks in baseball and an owner who is totally committed to the [Milwaukee] area.
“That report is beyond hilarious. I needed a good laugh today, and I got it.”
Not only this but the teams lease at Miller Park runs through the year 2030, which also includes a non-relocation agreement. Not to mention, Florida game attendance in professional sports is horrendous and would be a poor financial move for any team.
I got a good chuckle from it as well. Oh yeah, it’s Go Colts up here, since apparently Patriot Nation hates the Colts more than their division rival the Jets.
