S1 Ep7: Andy Crossley - teams and tenacity

Paul Reeths

We put the wraps on an event-filled 2019 with our first-annual holiday roundtable spectacular featuring the return of fellow defunct sports enthusiasts Paul Reeths (OurSportsCentral.com, StatsCrew.com &amp; Episode 46) and Andy Crossley (Fun While It Lasted &amp; Episode 2) – for a spirited discussion about the past, present and potential future of “forgotten” pro sports teams and leagues. It’s a no-holds-barred look back on some of the year’s most notable events and discoveries, including:   The short rise and quick demise of the Alliance of American Football;   Major League Soccer’s (unsustainable?) expansion to thirty teams;   The folding of the Arena Football League – again;   Major League Baseball’s minor league contraction plan; AND   Raiders NFL football moves on from Oakland for good.   As well as some predictions on what might transpire in 2020, as:   The second coming of Vince McMahon’s XFL kicks off in February;   Baseball celebrates the Negro Leagues’ 100th anniversary;   Las Vegas takes its biggest sports gamble yet with the Raiders;   The MLS Players’ Association flexes its pre-season bargaining muscles;   The Chargers and Clippers grapple with second-fiddle status in LA; AND   Mark Cuban’s Professional Futsal League . . . well, your guess is as good as ours!

144: Year-End Holiday Spectacular – With Paul Reeths & Andy Crossley

Fellow defunct pro sports enthusiast (Fun While It Lasted) and former Boston Breakers General Manager, Andy Crossley, joins Tim Hanlon to discuss his rollicking ride on the Women’s Professional Soccer league roller coaster in the late 2000s, and why the second major attempt at professionalizing the women’s game in the U.S. fell apart after just three seasons. Crossley recounts why Harvard’s archaic on-campus football stadium became the oddly natural choice for Breakers home games, the moment when he first recognized the WPS business model was doomed, how an Internet telephone entrepreneur’s obsession with the U.S. Women’s National team hastened the league’s demise, and why he doesn’t expect any Christmas cards from Hope Solo anytime soon.
