I don’t know that relegation is a great idea, but we definitely need something to prevent teams from just deciding they are going to tank for half a decade. It’s clearly not healthy for the teams or the sport.

Kim has a nuke, indeed he has many nukes at this point. What he (probably) doesn’t have is a delivery system that can threaten the US. Their missile tech is getting closer though.
And yet, tragedy has stuck!
Well sure, but at the Gray Lady:
Umm, it’s right there in the embed...
I doubt he goes to jail, but I could see him hit with an ever growing series of fines. That doesn’t help anyone of course, but they quite reasonably gave him two years to sell or relocate these cars, and obviously he hasn’t done it at all. He was supposed to sell 20 a month and he averaged 13/month in the first year,…
Fair enough, but if the best of his ability wasn’t enough, it won’t be enough, clearly letting him handle things with no consequences for failure won’t work. He probably should have outsourced the selling in the first place, since, yeah, he can’t do it.
Right, I read a bit more, and the NFL banned 11 helmets last season but allowed current players to continue using them. This year, they’ve eliminated that grandfathering, so Brady et al. will need to wear something different this season.
Pretty sure that’s not the case. For a long time Riddell was the official provider, but others could provide helmets (though they couldn’t have a company logo). I believe that deal has expired and players are able to use any compliant helmet (from big boys like Riddell, Rawlings, and Schutt, as well as smaller…
So weird. On one hand, normally it seems like leagues normally grandfather old equipment in, on the other, you have choices, just try them out and pick the one you like best. Also not having your brain scrambled is good!
Honestly I doubt that’s the case. Most hoarders hoard things smaller than cars, so they are less likely to run up against zoning problems (even if they are violating fire codes, probably no one will know and bother them about it). And I’d guess most aren’t self aware enough to even consider that the government might…
Yep, little economics lesson here. I mean they might (almost certainly) be worth more to him than they are to others, but then he needs to factor in the costs of storing them somewhere where he’s actually allowed to do so (and transporting them there). From that he can decide what makes sense to sell vs. keep (legally…
David’s fleet is surprisingly functional these days I think (which means he probably should sell some runners, so he can focus on the others, and also scrap the Kia). But yeah you probably shouldn’t be leaving dead cars on your lawn for half a decade, it’s not like they are going to get any easier to fix. He’s also…
I mean you like reporting on this story enough that you should buy something, and tell us how far gone it actually is. Maybe one of those Fieros, we know Jalopnik is all about mid-engine GM cars these days.
He agreed to sell 20 a month, and didn’t do that. If he did, he’d have no issue (well he’d probably still have issues, but no issue with the town).
Yep. Given all the cosmetic roughness that’s a $1500 car if it runs and drives perfectly/ Given it’s been sitting so long that the front wheel is not just flat, but has been flat so long it doesn’t even rebound a little in the air, that seems pretty unlikely. Also if ran, I doubt they’d forklift it away. He should…
“Runnable” sounds a lot like “David Tracy could make it run with a month or two of panicked wrenching and a half-dozen trips to a junk yard” instead of “runs and drives”.
Except he didn’t at all. He tried to sell things at unrealistic prices, and then decided he could ignore the order. He’s already failed to do what he promised once, why give him another chance?
