The Rolling Stones are playing there next month so I had to find a hotel to stay near the stadium. The options are endlessly depressing. It’s one giant city full of corporate housing.

Great job Drew. Reading Kinja comments has wrecked my brain, so that now whenever I read something I agree with or that makes me chuckle, like in an ‘e’-mail or in the Globe and Mail (paper or that found on the World Wide Web[link]), I reflexively hunch forward to click the star icon, and it’s a bit of a letdown when…

I fully understand that a new arena is desirable, I just can’t swallow that (Calgary) taxpayers have to buy it for Murray Edwards and his cabal.  

Yep. Any athlete who’s earned $100M over his career received, at very worst, $50M after tax and agent and representation fees and other costs. That money parked in the bank, various blue-chip stocks, invested in various real estate, would be literally safe as houses. You’d have more money than you can spend for you…

Perhaps they’ve seen enough of the rest of the roster to know he’s not worth keeping around

This is where and when I reap the psychological dividends of having cut ties with the NFL two years ago.

Isn’t this the Barbara Streisand song?  I refuse to click on the video to find out.

Hey, Moneybags, maybe some of you can just amble down to the Money Tree and get a toaster-oven loan, but those of us not part of the 1% can’t quite follow that ‘simple’ method of yours.

Yeah, sure Clay... You were “sneezing’’  into the book. Sure.

(Mayor) Nenshi did add that, given the city is currently looking to cut $60 million in fire, police, and transit spending thanks to a city budget crunch, giving hundreds of millions of dollars to an oil billionaire is maybe not the best look: “The optics of this stink. It’s really terrible timing.”

I remember reading a news story about a thief who tried to break into a restaurant overnight by climbing down from the roof using an exhaust vent. He got stuck on the way down, the vent’s size decreased as it got closer to the stoves. So there he was dangling in mid-air, unable to climb back up, wedged in like he was,…

To FartsInElevators, Alcoholic Synonymous, soulfeggio, that bad puns would be attempted by you freon a horrifying matter such as this is pretty cold-hearted.

Yes.  It’s quite likely that he was wedged in so tight he couldn’t breathe and suffocated.  At least that’s what I hope, that he didn’t really suffer.

Pete Carroll may have been right that he wasn’t quite ready to go from college ball to the NFL, but then again, he’s listed as having career earnings of $75M, so...

Really? Ca-rear?

Is Kordell the bad QB who has the best overall reputation among NFL fans? There must be an advanced stat for this.

Fuck... Beanie Wells...
