theSLVRBCK Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I can't say I have ever had a bad experience at the Gator Bowl ... err, Alltell ... err, Jacksonville Municipal ... err, Everbank.If given the opportunity, I'd be at every home game, from start to finish. Nothing beats the atmosphere of going to the game, win or lose and including the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Stay Classy Atlanta An Atlanta radio station has fired three morning radio hosts for mocking former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason, who has been debilitated by ALS, this morning.On Monday, Gleason published a guest column in Sports Illustrated's Peter King's "Monday Morning QB" space by using eye tracking technology. The degenerative disease has put Gleason in a wheelchair, and he now has to talk through a computer.But Atlanta radio hosts Nick Cellini, Steak Shapiro, and Chris Dimino on the "Mayhem in the AM" show on WQXI-AM, "790 The Zone," mocked him for his degenerative disease. They did a spoof segment in which a person impersonating Gleason called in with a robotic voice, impersonating the voice of the computer Gleason uses to communicate. A listener went on a message board and expressed his outrage, and former teammates like Scott Fujita tweeted their anger.Rick Mack, 790 The Zone Sr. VP & General Manager, released this statement on Monday:"We deeply regret the offensive programming that aired this morning on “Mayhem In The AM” on 790 The Zone, related to former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason and his battle with ALS. We suspended the three individuals involved immediately following their comments and have since terminated their employment. 790 The Zone, our owners, sponsors and partners in no way endorse or support this kind of content. We sincerely apologize to Mr. Gleason, his family and all those touched by ALS."A sample joke included the Gleason impersonator doing a "knock knock" joke:Knock knock.Who's there?Smother.Smother who?Smother me. Do me a favor.The person impersonating Gleason at one point said he may "not be here on Thursday" and also said that he was "going to hell."http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Sports/2013/06/17/Radio-Show-Hosts-fired-Gleason www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbadefense1990 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I don't know if this was posted here earlier, but I heard during the Yankees' recent trip through Oakland that the Mount Davis seats are going to be tarped off this season. Purpose defeated.Safety? This is about making it even harder to smuggle in booze to the stadium.Which itself can be a safety measure.All of you guys have it wrong. Raider fans ingest the booze before even entering, so that they don't spend all game long trying to be puked out.By the time these people finish their pre-game tailgating gulps, they're already pudgy, belligerent keg cans, walking on two kankly legs to their seats three rows from the top deck.And their boyfriends and brothers are pretty hammered, too.

waltere Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I always thought the point of a dome/roof in Atlanta was so that they could keep bringing in the Final Four and other similar events every few years. 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does FedEx Field do the other 357 days of the year?Was that one really one of the super excessively expensive stadiums? I thought that one was kind of like the new Comiskey Park of football - built right before the "modern era" of football stadiums. Also, maybe I should have qualified my statement by stating that it applies more in the southern "convention friendly" cities that host huge trade shows and events like Final Four. Not too many North East / Mid Atlanic cities are vying for those events.
