In defense of Raleigh, you skip the playoffs (or really even contending) seven years in a row and nine of 10, or even struggle to a lesser degree, there’s a LOT of markets that can struggle. Sure, usually it’s less established hockey markets like...say...Chicago, St. Louis, Long Island, Boston, New Jersey, Washington.…

Las Vegas is the only significant untapped local sports market in the country. It’s two million locals, plus 750K visitors per week. The first pro team in town will do really, really well.

This is good.

Just FYI, Washington is definitely not a lock to get in the Tourney, they are out of it in the CBS bracket and ESPN bracket.

Judge Rose told Johnson as he was granting him bail that he should use the opportunity to “say goodbye to your daughter” because “you will not see her for some time”.

So, the Warriors built their team through the draft, put Curry through 3 losing seasons to put the right pieces around him, became a powerhouse, but the Sixers are stupid for trying to do the same thing?

This wasn’t done just out of the goodness of the captain’s heart. US Code requires it:

I’m sure there is a good reason he couldn’t just have rolled his pants up?

Why isn’t there a x-rated sports channel where the announcers cuss and talk shit about the athletes. I’ve been asking this for years.

“they’re happier pissing me off and hoping I tune in to see it rather than speaking to issues that interest me”

Kinda reminds me of certain internet destinations as well...

Because nobody watched her show and her “various topics.” It was in last place for four years. The Times article cited above states that ratings in her slot (weekend daytime) has been up in 2016 since they’ve started doing nonstop election coverage.

The only reason I ever watch cable news is for the election coverage. It’s not unreasonable to preempt lower rated programs for higher rated ones.

This is why football needs to be year-round.

You should read some NHL boards sometime. Due to the hard cap and guaranteed contracts, there are legions of fans who believe full-on tanking is the ONLY way for a bad team to get worse. Fans regularly get pissed when their team wins games.

The city of San Francisco is $99M in the red this year. Tim Lincecum makes $18M per year. $20 is nothing to him. He should just let them keep it.

Haha, that is a quality Stephen A. rant right there. I guess every team should follow the Warriors path to success by being mediocre forever and then fall ass backwards into a generational talent.

You are an easier pigeon than even Berneko ever was with the Sixers. Everyone who is down with TTP knows how it gets under people’s skin that we aren’t storming “The Center” with pitchforks and torches, demanding a change in team building strategy. We know it’s irritating to non-fans that we can demonstrate patience…

This makes as much sense as lambasting a company for suing to get money back when someone reneged on an agreement with them to pay that money back.

Methinks you aren’t content without something to be outraged about.

Yes, they messed up and he also messed up by not immediately returning the money that was not his. Life is not “finders keepers.”
