It's Friday, so it's time for part three of a thirtysomething-part series.
Basketball
Hmm...perhaps it's just to cold to play basketball there. Or maybe, Green Bay doesn't care about black people. But here's why Green Bay is such a great sports city. What do you order at basketball games? That's right: nachos. And what does Green Bay have? That's right: cheese. Case closed.
Hockey
Well, there's no NHL teams, but if the Packers ever leave, they could just play hockey in Lambeau Field. It is after all, frozen tundra. And they presumably have enough white people to field a team, so I'm fairly positive that if Green Bay had a hockey team, they would win the Stanley Cup every year. Maybe that's exactly why they don't have a team--they would be too good.
Baseball
This shouldn't be a factor because baseball is a spring-summer sport, and they don't have spring or summer in Green Bay. It would thaw the tundra. Part of the blame should go to Green Bay's puny population. They don't even have enough people to fill the Big House in Ann Arbor, so how could they get a starting roster for a baseball team. Impossible. But they do have cheese, which is great on pretzels at baseball games.
Football
Ahhh, football. The bread and butter of Green Bay. Or bread and cheese, if you will. This will prove beyond a shadow a doubt that this is the Best Sports City. The first question you might ask yourself, if what is a Packer? Well of course, it's named after the teams founding sponsor, The Indian Packing Company. Then you might ask yourself, what's so great about the Packers? Two words. Brett Favre. Brett Favre is Brett Favre. And he is breaking all sorts of records, including the all-time interception record. Green Bay is so good, I'm sure he'll get that record he's been chasing.
Part One: Detroit
Part Two: Miami

Miami is the Ultimate Sports City
This is the 2nd in a thirtysomething-part series.
Basketball:
Not only are they 2006 NBA Champions, but their team name doesn't end in S. Take that plurality conventions! Plus, they're so good, they've retired #23 for Michael Jordan, even though he never played for the Heat.
Hockey:
The Florida Panthers have never won a Stanley Cup, but they were founded in 1993, just in time to be featured in NHL '94 for Sega Genesis. Which was a really awesome game.
Baseball:
The Florida Marlins are clearly the best team in baseball. Since starting in 1993, the Marlins have won 2 World Series. Plus, they did it with 2 completely different rosters. And true to form, they dismantled their roster after their '03 win. They're so good they don't even need to win their division. Ever. And they've never lost a playoff series. The Yankees can't say that. Obviously the Marlins are better than the Yankees.
Football:
Miami may be awesome in Basketball, Hockey and Baseball, but Football is not their strong suit. In the last 30 years exactly how many Super Bowls have the Dolphins won? Zero. For shame. Plus the Dolphins have only won one game this year. And wins against the Titans shouldn't count. Although, neither should wins against the Dolphins.

Detroit is the Ultimate Sports City
Hockey:
The Red Wings have won 10 Stanley Cups, including 3 in the last 10 years. 10 Stanley Cups is the most of any team*!
*This of course excludes the teams from Montreal and Toronto, but the N in NHL stands for National--and I'm pretty sure we know what nation we're talking about. The fact remains, Detroit has the best hockey team in America.
Basketball:
Pistons have won 5 championships, 3 in the NBA, including 2004. Plus, they have won the designation of most "bad boys." Plus, including the Fort Wayne Pistons, the Pistons are 3-4 in NBA Finals appearances. Their 7 Finals apperances total one more Finals appearance than the Chicago Bulls, and they were a dynasty!
Baseball:
The Tigers may have seemed like a terrible team, but that's just not true. They have 10 AL pennants, and 5 World Series Championships. They're dependable too. In fact, every year they always win at least 43 games. The Mets can't even say that! But in baseball, as in life, it's all about what have you done for me lately. And the Tigers just swept the Cardinals, to win the 2006 World Series*!
*Editor's note: This article will appear in the November 14th issue of Hoagie Central.
Football:
So here's where you think Detroit doesn't have it all when it comes to winning sports teams, but how could you forget that in January 2006, the Super Bowl was won in Detroit!
