A coworker of mine is from LA and is a fan of all team sports with very few specific loyalties other than to the Dodgers. After the Dodgers, Rams, and Chargers all lost this week I texted him something like "Rough week for LA teams" and he responded with "Yeah I was really disappointed by the Dodgers, and the Rams…

All those Steelers fans bought tickets. That is literally all Spanos cares about. 

I mean, LA clearly cares about NFL football. Just not necessarily about Chargers football (or the Rams necessarily either, judging from all the red at yesterdays game). But the owners don’t care who the people sitting in the stands cheer for. They paid for tickets, parking, probably a lot of beer and stuff, and their…

“pay to build us a new stadium or we’re moving to LA.”

If you contracted the Chargers, their good players could go to other teams with better medical staffs.

“The Clippers?  Why would they be playing against New England?” 

I always think its the Clippers 

I never understood the logic:  Take a city that hasn’t cared about NFL football for about 20 years.  Put a team there, wait a year, then put another team there.  Why?  Maybe if the Chargers were there alone their fans would follow and make some new ones, but once the Rams were there, the Chargers were not getting any…

Man I hope you’re keeping that Frank Francisco jersey in some sort of stable, climate-controlled environment. You’ll be retiring off that one someday.

Did you know that if you look at Roth’s preferred Goodwill store on Google Street View you can actually see him walking into the store?* You can almost feel the excitement going through his mind, wondering what treasures he’ll find. I hope it’s a Pete Incaviglia Phillies jersey!

I hope Antiques Shitshow becomes a regular feature. If so, can someone please assess the only piece of sports memorabilia I own: a ticket stub from the August 7, 1993 Houston Astros at San Francisco Giants game torn at the perforation but signed by both Darryl Kile AND Pete Harnisch.

What are you willing to offer for my Andrew Bynum Cavs jersey?

I demand to know:

Glasnow picked the worst possible time to adopt glasnost.

It was Halloween night, and young Clayton was dressed as Don Drysdale in the 1965 World Series....
