    I was right, Orange County is lowballing the sale of the Angels stadium land to Arte Moreno This can only mean one thing. An artists depiction of the politicians war chests after selling the land for such a sweerheart deal:

    Shhhhh, you're making too much sense. If there weren't available markets to expand to, then how else will billionaire owners and politicians be able to demand a taxpayer-funded stadium? Why, they'd have to make do and actually think of creative ways to make money and that's just not fair to people with sterile minds.
  3. Red Comet
    That's quite a sweetheart deal. I'm sure that it'll be a total coincidence that whoever negotiated this deal gets a massive war chest the next time they're up for re-election.

    We have a thread about the worst days in your life as a sports fan. How about the best? I'll start off with mine: Mizzou beating Kansas in the 2007 Border War Game. Held at Arrowhead Stadium, #2 Kansas vs. #4 Missouri, College Gameday plus a raucous crowd. Best ending ever: Dante Hall ripping the most ridiculous punt return I've ever seen in 2003. Beat the Broncos and I got my first kiss at 13 from a very drunk woman. Feels good man. Edit: And I found the video of it!: The Royals winning the World Series in 2015. And, this highlight to cap one of the best games of baseball I've ever seen: So, what are your favorites? April 5, 2020 EDIT: The Chiefs winning Super Bowl LIV and the day we can all go back to watching sports after this nonsense is over.

    I could watch that moment when Jim Everett had enough of his BS on loop for a year. He's always been a clown.

    Same in Kansas City too. Definitely a nationwide thing. On that note, can't stand listening to sports radio here right now. Everyone is acting like the sky is falling because of how the game against the Titans went. And I just know that if the Chiefs win tonight they'll be talking about how they're a dark horse candidate to win the Super Bowl. It's like dating a woman with BPD at this rate.

    If there's a market for progressive sports coverage, whatever these people congregate around will show that. If there isn't, there isn't. After all, Gawker is a private company and that means they get to do whatever they want, right?

    I just hate smug pricks who act like being told to do their job is a horrible insult. I guess its only insulting if you say it in English rather than Mandarin, apparently.

    You actually want me to write about sports for a sports website and not a 20 page screed on how Dragon Ball Z is problematic? Fascist! Fire them all and have the janitors write. Then again, I think the janitors would rather clean up crap than write it so I guess its a wash?
  10. Red Comet
    It's all copacetic. And thank you for the rabbit hole! I wonder how Charlie Finley feels now that the city he abandoned has a far nicer stadium than the Coliseum could ever be?

    Do I have to put an /s after any statement that would refer to Jeffrey Loria as a genius in anything except for being a welfare bum?
  12. Red Comet
    I don't think having a genius who spent more money on a garish barely-used contraption than most of his players helped either.

    1997 divisional round game against the Broncos. Bastards put Vasoline on their jerseys and that was a touchdown by Tony Gonzalez. Refs have been screwing things up for years. Derrick Thomas's last game. All the Chiefs had to do was beat the Raiders at home to go to the playoffs. Had a 17 point lead, blew it and lost to Oakland at home for the first time in over a decade. Didn't know it at the time but Derrick Thomas would be dead only a month later. 2003 No-Punt Game 2006 home opener against the Bengals. Trent Green getting nearly decapitated was something I got to see in person. Let's just say that under Marvin Lewis, orange and black was a fitting color scheme for his squad. 2007 Big 12 Championship Game. I stand by that KU bribed the BCS Committee to screw Mizzou out of a major bowl game. I'm praying that KU's basketball program gets the death penalty. It would be karma for all their bull :censored:. Jovan Belcher's murder-suicide in 2012. 2013 wild card game against the Colts. Hell, any playoff game against the Colts can count but blowing a 28-point lead in the 2nd half was a ballbuster. 2014 Game 7 of the World Series. No MadBum? The Royals win in 5 that year. Yordano Ventura getting himself killed because he thought driving drunk was a good idea. 2018 AFC Championship Game. That wasn't a roughing the passer call. Really puts the misery in Missouri now that I think about it.

    Its Vegas without gambling and even more washed-up hasbeens. Yakov Smirnov has made a king's fortune there. Nuff said. Hell, my Dad got stiffed on installing awnings at Silver Dollar City back in the 90s. To this day he still calls it "Steal Your Dollar City"
  15. Red Comet
    Whatever floats your boat, Oscar. Still, respect for sticking to your guns.

    Except for cost of living. Sorry, I like the idea of living in my own place and not living in a pod for the same price I'm renting my apartment in downtown Kansas City for plus parking. Seriously, there is no way that can be safe. Especially in such an earthquake-prone area.
  17. Red Comet
    See, that's the dilemna. Do you go with what works and risk looking boring or do you go unconventional and risk looking ridiculous? Personally, I'd go with the latter but that's just me.

    100 years ago, Montgomery Ward and Sears were two of the biggest companies in the US. Now? One has been dead for nearly twenty years (the original company anyway) and one might as well be already dead. Companies that don't (or can't) change with the times will always be left behind no matter how big or connected they get. Entropy has been undefeated for billions of years and I don't see it losing now. So, I guess there's some solace in that what is happening to Sports Illustrated is hardly unprecedented.

    Sign of the times, I'm afraid. Doesn't help when their core audience is dying off both in the biological and the technological sense.
  20. Red Comet
    Its 2019, I'm surprised there isn't some half-assed outrage bait article on why its bad that clouds are white.
  21. Red Comet
    Yeah, it's not like he cracked a joke about that player trying to climb over the glass. That might get him disciplined. He's old, cranky and probably had jetlag.
  22. Red Comet
    Good luck cancelling a Chicago institution. Would be kinda dumb to listen to people who probably don't even watch sports too.
  23. Red Comet
    I didn't mean rape, I meant more along the lines of "coincidentally" the guards are away when he gets cornered by other prisoners carrying shivs.
  24. Red Comet
    People like Sandusky don't need a psychologist, they need to be thrown into GenPop. They know how to properly handle sick :censored:s like him.

    Here's the best part about NFL Primetime. But yeah, in an era of ubiquitous Internet access to highlights on demand, I don't see any point to a highlights show anymore.
