    Like the border state confusion, maybe we need to clarify what a professional sports team is.

    The big three? NFL, MLB, and NBA?

    Never any love for the NHL. Although it's the 4th major pro sport, probably lower than PGA, ATP and definitely NASCAR.

    All these clues for professional teams are easy to rule NJ out! LOL!

    I think typically people include the NHL. and count teams that have the state team in their name and not where they play. like the NY giants play in jersey. but that is up to the person giving the clues.

    Haha...Don't hold it against me. I don't even watch sports and we didn't even have a Hockey team until the 90's.

    That was actually a TYPO guys....My targets state actually has 3 professional teams....minor leagues don't count, and neither do other teams that happen to use any of their venues....NFL, NBA, MLB & NHL.
