NY Titans leaving for Orlando

The Titans played home games at Madison Square Garden and Newark's Prudential Center last season in front of sparse crowds, yet the prevailing thought was that Newark might become their permanent home.

But negotiations, a source said, didn't proceed as planned with The Rock. A compromise rental fee -- one feasible to both parties -- could not be met. There were talks, as well, with The Garden, according to a source, but they met a similar fate.

So right now, the only teams left at the Rock are the Devils and Seton Hall. Ironmen are gone for at least a year and the Nets are looking more and more like they would rather fold than move to Newark.

I was kind of hoping to read that they left because Vanderbeek insisted that they drop the NY name.

Come to think of it, I hope Jeff makes that a mandatory rule for any teams playing home games at The Rock from here on out.

heh remember New York/New Jersey Metrostars? terrible name.. then they changed the name into the Redbulls and dropped the NJ for no reason.... you would think they would drop the NY since they dont play in NY... i mean thats as stupid as a team in georgia calling themselves 'florida'

Y'know, I didn't have a problem with the New York/New Jersey Metro Stars...I viewed it as "well, at least they know where they play"...I can't stand anything about the New York Red Bulls name.

Me too.

But admittedly, I'm hardcore Jersey. I even hate the fact the Giants and Jets kept the NY name when they came here.

I get into arguments all the time about it, at the drop of a hat.
