No, but they are people whose tax money is being appropriated for this. So, those folks are actually way more important than the people who go to the game.

Do you seriously think parking at this stadium will be free?

Well, if you'd plopped the stadium in the middle of the most red shown on that map, it would have been in Sandy Springs (Fulton, not Cobb). Believe me, North Fulton residents and folks in Dunwoody are breathing a huge sigh of relief that Cobb was so gullible.

...not to mention the fact the original Tea Party was about taxation without representation but somehow this new Tea Party started off all libertarian and now has just reverted into a radical conservative Christian right-wing group operating under a new name.

White flight comes at a price. Maybe if all the these suburban yuppies would have made the trek down to Turner more often we wouldn't be in this situation. This is exactly what the average Atlanta Braves fan wants, they just don't want to pay for it. For residents of Alpharetta, Buckhead, Cumming (the more…

Except that Tea Partiers are far too dumb to understand that they are pushing for governance that would greatly extend both of those things.

It won't matter. They'll be stuck in traffic.

You build my stadium, I keep all revenues. See, it all evens out.

If only there was a way to find out...

He's right. If the public had gotten wind of this, there might have been a few rounds of debate. And, as we've learned, the Braves almost never make it past the first round.

When you are at a point when you say "hey, if the public found out what they're doing, I bet they'd try to stop us," maaaaaaybe step back for a moment and decide if it's really a great idea. Of course, that would presuppose a certain amount of self awareness and shame that I suspect are antithetical to modern sports…

"It didn't leak out. If it had leaked out, this deal would not have gotten done."

Yeah, the nine-game losing streak likely has the Red Sox already irritated, but it wasn't that large of a lead.

No question, this doesn't fall into the "don't steal in a 12-1 game in the 8th" category. This is a case of a team being frustrated/bitter that they haven't won a game in 2 weeks.

I get that sometimes when you build a big lead you call off the dogs, but this is only a 5 run lead in the 7th. Nothing wrong with this at all, even in the unwritten rules.

Once I finish masturbating, I'm going to write the FCC a sternly worded letter.

The American Dairy Association is starting to regret hiring Darren Aronofsky to run their new ad campaign.

one day, as a society; we will figure out how to.film on our cell phones correctly. I have a dream that people will not be judged by the color.of.their.skin, but by their orientation of their cell phone.

SHOuldn't they be releasing the 2015s by now?

Note to self: Try not to get lucky in Texas.
