Actually, a major stadium event in town CAN in a ton of money for the area. Look at WWE WrestleMania. It brought in $136M in economic impact for the Bay Area/San Jose in 2015.

I’m sure the Super Bowl and Final Four would do more than that. Throw in an MLS team playing 17 matches there, the NFL team’s 10 games plus…

The Russian-Roulette-Game-Show idea reminded me of Eva Mendes’ movie “LIVE!”, with Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Andre Braugher, which depicted the exact thing. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt081094…

Usually, you’d buy a “hole-in-one” insurance policy to cover such a prize (usually for about $500-$1,000 per event) that would stipulate such rules as minimum hole distance and such.

I like the “Something Happened in the 70s” part of your chart.
Technology happened. Computers and automation happened, which made single workers far more productive, decreasing manpower and the need to deal with unions.

“Aces” could have used a jet-fighter theme, as Nellis AFB is right near Vegas. (At least, that’s what Fallout: New Vegas taught me)

Phil Kessel will win the Conn Smythe Trophy. Murray’s GAA and Save% is slightly worse than other recent goalies to win the MVP honor. And Kessel is the sentimental favorite among hockey writers.

The only thing that might give Murray the trophy would be a 40-save Game 5 shutout.

In the year of 9/11, I would have had the Yankees win the World Series in 2001 in Game 7 over the D-Backs.

Or had the Cleveland Indians beat the Marlins in Game 7 in 1997.

Same here... had years of pain and was linked to acid reflux and GERD by my doctor.

After years of taking acid-blockers and dealing with the pain, my gastroenterologist did an ultrasound on a hunch and found gallstones, and out came the gallbladder.

I still try to control my reflux with a low-carb diet. The Atkins…

Penguins were a Game 1 OT goal away from sweeping the Capitals out in four games.

From the NHL:

That Twitter photo was not taken 8 minutes before gametime, it was taken before the warmups, when most fans are just arriving and supporters are outside drinking at their club taverns.

Go to the one-foot-in standard that college/high school uses. So much simpler to judge visually, plus it’s what college receivers already know.

Your national anthems, brought to you by Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Night Rises” Orchestra ...

He went back to his former job, WOOOOOing at Pirates games.

The arm was away from the body, in an attempt to make the defender “bigger” ... it’s an unnatural position. Should be a penalty.

If my parents found out that, in the span of 10 minutes, I ...
1) Broke school rules by having my cell phone out during class.
2) Backtalked to my teacher and refused to turn it over when told to.
3) Refused to go to principal’s office.
4) Refused to leave room when a school administrator told me to.
5) Backtalked to the…

Oh yeah, MGS ... I haven’t barely touched it, while I’m 600+ matches into Rocket League. LOL!

Rocket League HOCKEY?!?!? Shut up and take my money. Yes, it’s free, but take my money anyway. (Any chance for NHL-licensed cars?)

A 15-second video doesn’t tell the whole story. I want to know what happened in the five or more minutes BEFORE the officer was summoned to the classroom. I bet there’s video of it too ... somewhere ...
