Amazed I never saw this story before, but while fully agreeing with you on McGwire and Mirer (that we traded the latter for Springs, essentially, makes that easier to swallow), I’ll go more recent and wonder what it would take to go back and say “NOOOOOOOOO!” to taking Aaron Curry at four instead of trading down and,…

Not sure if that’s going to happen but there will be little Salvadoran guys handing out cards for GIRLS DIRECT TO YOUR ROOM.

Las Vegas Criminally Overpriced Domestic Beers

I’ve been there twice to see the M’s play. Always feels like at least 25% of the crowd there is Seattle fans. And considering the series at SD is always early June, it makes sense because Seattle fans just want summer to get here already. It’s great. Nice park, nice people, good beer, great location.

There are not enough stars in the world for me to give this anecdote.

With a name like Harry Peak, this will probably be the highlight of his life, unless he goes into porn and just keeps his name.

Dumbass. It’s “capital,” not capitol. DUH!

It’s been 16 years since I left, but I still follow news and sports. From friends still up there, they echo your sentiments- Local media has a lot of shortcomings regarding how they cover local news. Of course, I’ve lived in Vegas for 12 years now and the way they cover local news here probably makes Seattle media…

Chris Daniels at King 5?

There’s also the small detail of how EVERYONE IN THIS CITY WHO MATTERS FUCKING HATES ADELSON.

I worked at the Venetian years ago at a restaurant which closed in the last couple of years. We used to host luncheons and dinners for Adelson and his causes (he did a couple of fundraisers for Rick Perry when he was running…

I like Trevor Noah, but for some reason I feel like the Daily Show should be hosted by an American, especially given the current political atmosphere. Now, did I enjoy John Oliver as the sub host and enjoy his how now? Absolutely! So, maybe I just don’t think Noah is the right guy in that seat. I dunno.

+1 on not…

Worth noting the Times has done a poor job hiding their agenda, which has always been pro-Port/anti-Hansen. Remember the story Baker reported on a few months back about “investors” having interest in building an arena in Renton or Tukwila (can’t recall which ‘burb), only for other people to discover it was all…

I think the worst part of all of this is these idiots wrote all these stupid things and its sort of given a pass on how inane and frustrating the “Seattle Process” is, and how the Port and the City Council are still pretty corrupt entities in their own right.

Nah. That ship sailed when the Maloofs lost their ass expanding the Palms. NBA expansion by two teams, Seattle and Vegas. Two instant marquee destinations for free agents: legal weed and legal gambling!

You pretty much nailed the current physical description of Sheldon Adelson as well.

Hershey Hawkins

I think Peyton really has more interest in following John Elway’s career arc rather than Troy Aikman’s. I also think he would be better off doing that.

Have to think he’ll be prominently involved in NBC’s Ryder Cup coverage and other tour events. Doesn’t NBC have the Open Championship now? Seems like a no-brainer to debut him in the booth for that tournament.

ESPN probably wouldn’t shell out the money it would take to make it happen, but if they’re interested in bringing in someone younger and on the rise, I would look hard at Kevin Burkhardt over at Fox. As it stands, he’s the clear number two over there and will be as long as Joe Buck wants to call the NFL. If there was…

Watching and listening to Arlo for a few years now (going back to his time as voice of Sounders) makes me even more disappointed NBC didn’t win the English-language rights to the next two World Cups in this country. He is every bit as good as Ian Darke at calling matches.
