  1. The Angels have nowhere to actually move to right now. If they were to up and leave they'd be pulling a Raiders by sticking around for a few years but would be playing in front of 10,000 fans a night if they're lucky. Plus, they have a 20 year/$3 billion TV deal. You're not getting that in Portland. The first two options that @Still MIGHTY laid out are the likely possibilities. Disney is funneling tons of money into this election so I think they're banking on having a much more business-friendly city council to negotiate with, especially with the aftermath of the Downtown Disney hotel cancellation. The sticking point with the Tait regime was that the city wanted more tax revenue from the team through the land value of the parking lots. If the new regime backs off I could see either a renovation/new stadium project on the current site with the tax issue being a city concession.
  2. Plus going back to when everything was happening there were a lot of red flags. You had Hurlbert trying to make a name for himself for one and you also had the accuser running to her friends bragging about it and saying how, amongst other things, she was going to buy herself a koala with the big check she was going to be getting.
  3. Must be for former Hilltopper Tyler Higbee.
  4. Let me make one thing clear though. Moderators have absolutely no control over any issues involving board ads. We can let Chris know about this thread but that’s the extent of what we can do. It’s ultimately an issue for the ad network to figure out.
  5. Knowing the GDNHL they'll save face with the Sun Belt by moving them to Houston but leaving Quebec to flap in the wind.
  6. The forgotten part of the Zimmerman Telegram.
  7. And, please, don’t use the report button. We’re aware of the situation.
  8. I unpinned a few old ones. That should make it more obvious.
  9. Brian in Boston has retired from the moderator team. We have voted to increase our ranks. @Conrad. and @infrared41 have joined the front.
  10. So, Dundon owns the team then fires the GM to take on a more hands-on role. Hell, if he takes over as the PBP guy he'll be the hockey equivalent of pre-Attitude Era Vince McMahon.
  11. I have been looking for this picture for years and I have the context as I actually saw this game when it happened. Griffey was wearing a Jim Edmonds jersey and was covered with bandages to rib on Edmonds' plethora of injuries.
  12. If you are circumventing a suspension/ban you have already committed a community offense such as, say, insisting on discussing politics or Native American imagery. It’s not so much that it’s worse so much as it’s a a trigger when someone has already done enough to warrant a punishment.
  13. If you create a dupe account solely to circumvent a suspension/ban you are showing blatant disregard for the policies of this community. That's why it's a bannable offense.
  14. PLEASE post the entire URL of the ads that pop up. We have a way to notify the ad company but they need the actual URL. Thanks.
  15. The bottom ad is part of the new ad network. Nothing can be done there. If you're still getting the Amazon spam clear your cache/cookies.
  16. The ad network was changed due to the Amazon spinning wheel redirects.
  17. Since board glitches don't fall under the jurisdiction of moderators please use THIS THREAD to report them.
  18. This thread is being created to separate board tech issues with other board issues/questions that were posted in the Ask a Moderator thread. As moderators don't have control over under-the-hood aspects of the board all board issues should be directed at @CC97
