it’s the location. there’s nothing else really going on sportswise in central jersey, bridgewater area is full of central jersey cash and so it’s a good place for a team. if they were truly ever going to put an arena outside of a city in jersey for a big league team, that area would’ve been the best spot because…

not exactly.

Damn, a third catcher for a middling MLB team sure brings out the greys like a Kelis milkshake.

I wonder if Christmas albums count as one of the records people owe to their labels to satisfy a deal. But like others have said, it’s an easy money maker.

Yeah but nobody will do that in the World Series. Even the Bautista penance didn’t come until the regular season the next year.

I’m going to start referencing this as a “Klosterman apology” because all I’ve wanted in these instances of apologies lately is for someone to say “I’m wrong. I’m going to also donate $x to a cause because I don’t want other people to feel like it’s acceptable to act this way, etc.” I’m mostly thinking of examples in…

No apology act here. Most everything including insurance cards tell you to say nothing and never admit fault.

You mean the league that is anti-union, pays most of its players in literal peanuts and where the ownership model is akin to Amway for professional sports owners somehow is afraid of political speech? Colour me shocked.

Fuck this stupid ass rule. Wither Brad Wing.

interracial marriages probably only became legal last year.

they vote on that before regular season ends, fyi. (well the last day of the regular season is when balloting ends.)

“amateur athletics”

they’d at least get access to a car. they’d never pay for a meal at local restaurants and honestly, it might convince some of them to stay on the straight and narrow because they’d be accountable for their own “brands” in a way that right now, doesn’t exist.

the hubris of believing you can be the guy to turn things around. also, easier to fall back to coordinator than to be a coordinator who can’t get a coaching job.

often the security people can be real jerks about it until late in the game when they leave their posts. And even then not always. Especially in a new arena.

not at the cost of the tax breaks given. The people literally paid for this. Putting money into the coffers of businesses that spend less money won’t benefit as much as arena taxes to a billionaire would.

NBA and MLB are pretty parity filled. Plus with playoffs, winning a title is mostly dice rolls. NBA is certainly stacked towards the “best” teams, but in the NBA, San Antonio has been a paragon of consistency. Oklahoma City has used the draft and trades to stay competitive. There’s no Leicester City of the NBA, but in…

Admissions recruit white students no differently than any other “diversity” candidates. They’re not taking a spot, it’s already been accounted for.

twitter man. tons of people.

It’s too bad the sport doesn’t have a true league following, because watching it as a videographer for a job years ago, I always thought it was entertaining even at the JUCO level.
