Keep in mind though that PetCo is a beautiful part of the Downtown landscape that is used 81+ times a year. It also helped revitalize that area. That might be the one exception to the concept that public funding of stadiums are always a grift.

Baseball isn't, and football isn't but I guarantee you basketball is.

With Kemba being his teammate.

Wait, I thought the Lakers were incompetent and got fleeced and didn’t understand the salary cap and were doomed forever despite having the best player of all-time at the end of his prime and the best player of his generation on the same team.

I am not defending Butler because, as a Clippers fan, I was terrified they made his trade list, but I think it is important to note that the Twolves and 76ers did/are willing to do anything in their power to keep him, and for the Twolves that was even after that one notorious practice where he set back the…

I mean, he wanted out of Chicago and Minnesota, is that really a Jimmy problem? (Although, dude is obviously a head case)

I mean, you could read his terrible take to know he is an idiot.

Giannis had a better season anchoring a better team.

One of those two would have to take the alpha position and I am not sure either are wired that way (but both are still good and fun players!)

The Friday after the regular season ended. So, I think 2 days later.

What are you talking about. The MVP was voted on and decided months ago.

This is why no one likes The Rockets.

Previous Playoff no shows or this year's flame out? Because, I agree with the former, but the latter is impossible.

No. The Rockets’ play style sucks, their on the court whinyness sucks, their off the court whinyness sucks, the press’s desire to annoit the Rockets is annoying. The only typical factor that goes to hateability that the Rockets don't have is an obnoxious and abrasive fan base.

I don't understand why everyone hates VAR. It worked well during the Men's World Cup and has worked well during the Women's World Cup outside of the bizzare penalty call against France. 

At what point does the California government intervene?

The greatest moment of my life was stumbling upon a baby black bear outside my hotel room in Lake Tahoe and watching him run away from me. 

You focused on the wrong baseball team Ray. He watched the LOS ANGELES Angels (who play in Anaheim). I think it is clear where he is going.

The closest I have ever come to something like this, is when I took the state bar and waited for the results. I had a private party with only my wife and I. I cannot imagine inviting everyone I knew to experience that moment with me, knowing that it may end in crushing failure.

It is, but those in authority don't give a fuck about that.
