Not just that, but by UNLV playing at Allegiant, Sam Boyd has to have approval of the Raiders to host any events there outside UNLV non-football sports. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Getting hired and fired in 24 hours based on decade-old choices: not a uniquely American phenomenon! (Grande tweeted support for the guy who tried to assassinate the PQ leader and generally was outspoken against Quebec separatists back in the day, and was also famously caught on camera choking his own teammate in Impact's 2nd divison days.)

MJWalker45 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 MLS announcing broadcast teams for Apple TV now https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/apple-and-major-league-soccer-unveil-broadcasters-for-mls-season-pass-x1835 It's kinda cringy that some of these guys keep talking about what Apple products they have or have used. Just talk about the job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but if MLS on Apple means constant iPhone ads, no thank you. 1 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDAWG Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Inter Miami FC is not the only ones interested in Messi, Saudi Arabia is too: Lionel Messi Courted in Saudi Arabia, Paris, Miami (frontofficesports.com) So we could have a Messi-Ronaldo reunion in the same league again like it was when both were in La Liga, but instead of MLS, it could be Saudi Arabia.

Gerard Pique had his 7v7 tournament kick off last weekend. As long as we don't see this kind of stupidity I'm cool with it. He said this guy was under contract, but apparently that's not the case based on how he played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 16 hours ago, WestCoastBias said: I've never seen a BMO in California and I've live here my entire life The only BMO presence that I’ve run across in California is their ATM machines... and that's a fairly recent phenomena. I've seen them in chain pharmacies and supermarkets here in Santa Monica. That's going to change now that BMO Financial Group has received regulatory approval to acquire Bank of the West from BNP Paribas and merge said financial institution with U.S.-based BMO Harris Bank. The reason for BMO snatching up the naming rights to the former Banc of California Stadium is undoubtedly linked to promoting the BMO Harris brand in California prior to the merger with - and rebranding of - the Bank of the West assets in the Golden State. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
