It's best to get these things straightened out in the preseason My goto stats site (Pro-Football Reference) does not agree. It's TAM I've never seen TPA used for Tampa. Is that the Tampa airport code? I know Orlando's airport code is MCO, which I always thought was dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There actually is no place on a map (of Florida) called Tampa Bay. That's a regional designation - probably put forward by the tourist industry - to group Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater, etc. Correction (before I get corrected....) there is a designation for Tampa Bay - as the body of water between Tampa / St. Pete.

At the time she won her 2024 medals, the Packers were the last team that Owens had played real games for. I saw all these memes about Simone Biles being a "Packer fan" and looking at the jacket in question, it was very much a Johnathon Owens jacket, it just happened to have pictures of him in his Packer uni.

So the team is named after the bay (in order to get support from those living in St Petersburg), thus the "TPA" designation for Tampa is irrelevant, as the team isn't named for the city.

Seems perfect to me! Should give them something to have a chip on their collective shoulders. I kind of laugh at Buffalo, Miami and Cincinnati ahead of us though. Also, why all the love for the Iggles the way they finished.? Edited August 20 by Old Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
