  <title>144: Year-End Holiday Spectacular – With Paul Reeths &amp;amp; Andy Crossley</title>
  <description>    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;amp;amp; Episode 46) and Andy Crossley (Fun While It Lasted &amp;amp;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!   Support the show by getting the Ultimate Shave Starter Set from Dollar Shave Club for just $5!     </description>
