It’s only 3rd place for now, at the current growth rates, Olathe is likely to overtake it sometime around 2020 (it’s growing fast, while KCK is not).

It’s fairly common actually. It gives the university cash for the building, lets an entity who knows how to run a hospital run it, and gets the expenses and liabilities off the University’s books.

If you read between the lines of those who posted on twitter it’s more that these folks were up for contract renewal and ESPN passed on renewing them. If Gruden’s contract wasn’t up it may make more sense to keep it in place until renewal time and not paid the penalties of laying him off. .

The NFL draft location was announced on 1 Sept 2016, and likely most of the hotels were booked by the NFL at either that point or slightly before.

Why have the field crew do this though? The review is done at the MLB HQ in NYC. Just have them send a letter, tweet, vine or whatever out or explain it and not waste the field crews time. The didn’t have a say in the final ruling anyway.

One note, is that Washington did all that to get another player, Andi Sullivan, who may go pro-this year (well before she tore her ACL), and not Pugh. I don’t think they were aware that Pugh was going to go pro at all.

At a certain distance high-speed rail stop being competitive. From DC to NYC, sure, but from DC to say Denver, not so much because even at the current state of the art you’d be looking at an all day train trip (assuming you don’t stop anywhere intermediate).

In the NHL and NFL the games keep going until someone wins the playoffs even if regular season games end in a tie  

The letter says that he doesn’t need any direct money from the city, just for the city to vacate a block of land and grant a waiver on admissions tax to the arena.

The one at the end of the game, there was only contact because the offensive lineman reach up and tried to stop him. As such it was incidental since it was initiated by the offensive lineman, not someone on the defense.

The Pandora’s box is gambling.

It’ll be in Columbus.

I’d be more worried since his arm doesn’t go forward overhead during the throw it’s technically a fumble.

2022-23 they’ll likely move to Monday 2 Jan 2023. New Year’s Day is on Sunday this year and all the major bowl games moved to the 2nd as a result.

That would generally effect NBC’s ratings, only CBC’s. Besides, a Canadian hasn’t made it into the conference finals until 2011, if it’s down this year it’s likely not Canada’s fault (for once).

It would of, but since they wound up losing, they need Manchester United to beat Crystal Palace, which would give the FA Cup winner’s slot to Southampton (since MU already qualified to to the group stage) and then then Southampton’s playoff slot down to West Ham. If Crystal Palace wins, West Ham is right out.

Internet only option would completely kill the rates they charged the cable companies since ESPN is one of the extremely small number of channels that drive people to get cable (most of the other channels claim that if you remove us you’ll lose subscribers, but that isn’t bourn out by any evidence.) If you can get…

The problem is there isn’t enough people in Alabama to support a network if if was required as carriage in the basic tier of cable service.
