I see your “Iron City is shit” and raise you this absolute swill from Pittsburgh:

+1 for “grease and shovel racket” reference. Bravo. 

because people want to live there. My brother bought a decent house for $37K, the same house in the city I live in would go for $300K. I’d rather live where I do and pay the higher price. 

1 - it was a exhibition. It is not wide enough to accommodate what is needed for soccer in terms of dimensions. A football field is 53 yards wide, a soccer field 70-80 yards wide. The dome was great in that it had stands closer to the sidelines for football but as a result it woulnd’t be wide enough to accommodate a…

I’ve had some favorite players from my alma mater go pro but once I hit adult age I didn’t run out and buy gear of teams they got drafted by if it wasn’t my team. In fact, after a friend bought a Gretzky Blues jersey in 1996 when Gretzky got traded there and go to wear it for 3 months, I never bought any gear with a…

too expensive to retrofit for soccer and it’s making more money for conventions right now.

Pro/Rel would never work considering the amount of money owners are shelling out to get a team. It’s different in England where fans will come out for a team relegated from the top flight like Aston Villa (pre promotion), Swansea or Stoke. If a MLS team gets relegated the advertising revenue will dry up and attendance…

similar in Portland. We used to always get Titans games on CBS when they had a a 10 am game, but now we just get the national game. 

that’s great to see! When I first went to STL to check it out for grad school I stayed in the hotel there and Union Station was actually a cool place, but over time it became a ghost town. The only places left were Hooters, Have a Nice Day Cafe and some other restaurants and there was a strict dress code being…

the problem is there is no pocket. 

not a bad spot but still not super convenient to a MetroLink stop, it is?

Lewan posted a polygraph he says proves that he’s clean

a lot, and it would cost more to widen the field area to get it to soccer regulations. That was a proposal actually looked at but the costs were higher than building a new stadium.

Yep.  Driving from my the home in the CWE to the airport I would pass through about 10 different “municipalities.”

one of my best friends named her son “Soren” after the first member of the family that came to the US. Unique but not way out there (parents should be caned 10 times for each unnecessary “y” they add to a kid’s name, IMO). Only one in his classes. When she met my buddy from a Minneapolis suburb he said “there are six…

I love how the Lions aren’t even in the conversation.

other than a Twin Cities girl I dated freshman year and a Mankato girl I dated junior year (who later fell for one of my best friends who wasn’t into her and also lived in ENGLAND) I didn’t have any Minnesotans as friends at my school in WI. In fact, the biggest prick on my floor was a Minnesotan.  They all stuck…

I’m not sure if MAGA turds are giving their kids name like Kymlynn and Braedyn and are setting up college funds. More like Gunnar and Reagan and they won’t be going any liberal indoctrination factories (except maybe to Liberty or Hillsdale).

And Emily Ratajkowski. Mmmm.

That’s why I’m a Lions fan. At least my dad was around for their last title - when he was 4.
