Meredith, I was the sports editor at University of Richmond the same year you were at Duke — read every LeAnne column and made the staff read them too. Damn she was good. Thanks for the piece!

A budget increase signals a smaller likelihood that the games will go OVER budget, at which point the taxpayers would be on the hook. This is a good thing.

Or this: Bruce Bowen was very bad at his job. If there is one thing local broadcast analysts are expected to be, it is experts in the home team’s players. Bowen was comically uninformed about Clippers players all season. Pretty easy to see Bruce’s folks telling Woj that he got fired because the Clippers were “thirsty”…

It should also be noted that defendants have no right to counsel in a grand jury.

Especially the curb lane on east-west routes during rush hour (Pico, Olympic, Wilshire). You can fly to and from downtown by hugging the shoulder.

Every city declares that their Olympics will be the one that bucks the model and enriches its citizenry; they’re never correct.

As we’ve pointed out before, an L.A. Olympics, like all Olympics, would be a bullshit scam that consistently screws over the host cities’ residents. 

The profile takes for granted that the 1984 Olympics were an unmitigated success and a blueprint for a future Los Angeles-based games while only vaguely getting into the deep crises faced by the IOC and recent host cities.

Right out of college I came home to Los Angeles and found a job posting for a “tech marketing” company. I showed up to an office for their group interview and the room was full of dozens of identical bros getting super hyped as some uber bro was giving them a morning pre-game speech. Little did I know, this was a…

Something about this quote bugs the hell out of me. Either its the disrespect to the Cavs, pandering to OKC, or something else that I can’t quite put my finger on. In the words of Ron Burgundy, maybe the Dubs should lay low for a while, sit the next couple plays out. Nobody wants to hear from them.

So Kawakami tried to publicly humiliate a billionaire and lost. Then billionaire privately humiliated Kawakami. Now Kawakami is publicly crying foul. Sorry, but this is stupid. Kawakami may just be a sucker.

Are we sure that’s not Danny Noonan?

I think your binary is off. If he is suffering from mental issues, then you’re right, the comments are bullheaded and dumb. But if he’s not, then this is a matter of a guy continually breaking a well-known rule to the point that he is suspended from work. To an employer, that’s really disappointing!

Completely agree. If you look at it in terms of an agent’s duties to his client, I would contend that, by all accounts, Burkhardt did an exemplary job trying to keep Manziel’s marketability afloat, which was precisely his job (and his legal obligation). Athlete representation can be tricky, sure, but this post implies…

Correction: The list says “These 10 teams paid the most...” DOD isn’t making money on these spectacles, they’re spending

And he just turned 20...

It also should be noted that the Steelers also have a crap kicker that has already missed two field goals and one extra point.

The confusion isn’t Iman as a girl’s name, it’s a Jr. of the opposite sex. I’ve never heard of that.

Calling it early, eh?

Did you catch the Puig tidbits buried at the bottom of Jonah Keri’s most recent article? http://grantland.com/the-triangle/2…
