Pittsburgh is Championship City; Move Coyotes to Hamilton

Tremendous sportsbook and online casino takes a look at several issues of the day. Pittsburgh, the championship city; why the Phoenix Coyotes should move to Hamilton and what are the best television sports.

Forget Boston or Detroit or even New York City, the sports capital of the United States has to be Pittsburgh, PA.

They now own the Super Bowl champion Steelers and the Stanley Cup champion Penguins.

Even the World Series winners, the Philadelphia Phillies are in the same state. Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy point out that his alma mater, California University of PA will only add to the equation. His beloved California Vulcans football team will win the Division II college football national championship led by Jordan Portis, a former Florida Gator.

California University of PA, it about 35 miles north of Pittsburgh.

No city has ever won more than two titles from the NBA, NFL, MLB, or NFL in the same year.

Pittsburgh's feat, following the double by the Pirates and Steelers 30 years earlier, solidifies its claim as one of the nation's most successful pro sports cities, per capita, even if the Pirates can't overcome their current deficit in the NL Central and make it a triple.

Can you imagine if only Villanova's Scottie Reynolds had missed that layup? The Panthers could have made a run at the NCAA title.

Other cities like L.A. and New York have had multiple champions before, but they also have more teams.

Speaking of the NHL, our partners at Bodog have a few other opinions they'd like to share.

There are many opinions out there on what should happen with the Phoenix Coyotes and where they should end up.

For the sake of the true hockey fans in Arizona, it would be ideal if the NHL can figure out a way to keep the franchise in town. But that seems unlikely long term.

There is a huge belief that the team should relocate to Canada with cities like Hamilton and Winnipeg just waiting to get their hands on a club.

Hamilton seems to be the best place for the Coyotes, as they have the fans and the building and the support of a possible new owner in Jim Balsillie (the BlackBerry guy).

But Gary Bettman seems to have a grudge against Balsillie and Canada for that matter, so expect the team to end up somewhere in the United States.

If the team does not stay put in Phoenix, even Vegas is an option the NHL would really love.

Did you watch the NBA Finals this year?

If so, you joined millions of others who did as well. The NBA is just one of the many sports that is heavily watched each year in the United States.

NFL football is king, of course, as the Super Bowl is the most watched sporting event every year. People live and breath the NFL and there is little chance any sport will ever replace it as No. 1.

Other major players would be NASCAR and NCAA Football, thanks to the very successful Bowl season.

April is all about NCAA Basketball and March Madness before the sports fan shifts to MLB Baseball.

PGA golf certainly brings in the ratings now that Tiger Woods is back and even Arena Football has a huge following (when the league is actually running).

Last year the Olympics were highly watched of course, and you can't forget the rise of Mixed Martial Arts.

Sorry hockey, maybe one day.
