Re: Legendary running back Jim Brown dead at 87

https://apnews.com/article/nfl-jim-brown-03d88c7da08840a0921ae8d8dd0a6aaa In my opinion, Mr. Brown had to be one of, if not, the most impactful players next to Walter Payton. This is a huge loss for not only the sports community, but the world. You would be correct. A class act off the field as wel...

Just another few years and I am out of here. Thankfully. Serious question.

Of course it's a handout. If there was money to be made, your "successful guy" friend would have no problem getting private funding to build the stadium project. I get the feeling there will be money to be made. It benefits everyone. LV isn't Oakland. Not even close. Besides, if it was SD...

Re: Oakland A's to Las Vegas

How big is the stadium where the Raiders play? I am curious because you meet people from Oakland, which would happen. But, in a stadium of that size and, say, you meet 20 people from Oakland, who's to say anyone else is from Oakland? Who's to say they are only there for the Raiders game? I have gon...

How was Don Lemon controversial? You would have to ask the producers but it's a great day. Glad we don't have to see him anymore. Tucker was a product of a system. The viewers won't follow him to Newsmax. That would be admitting they have gone crazy. I very rarely if ever watched Tucker on Fox. I w...

Re: Dominion v Fox Lawsuit

Don Lemon has also been dismissed from CNN. I suspect networks will be taking a close look at their more controversial hosts in the coming weeks and months (though Lemon more likely went due to reports of how he treated female colleagues), particularly as there's a lot of chatter about libel laws b...

I am glad Oakland refuses to subsidize these overpaid teams and their stadiums.

Re: Oakland A's to Las Vegas

The Knights were allowed to pick and choose which players they wanted before any other team. They could even take players from other teams. They were allowed to run a marathon starting ten meters from the end. Will MLB do the same for the A's? Expansion is much different than a team moving. It's no...

The current stadium is so bad, and in a very bad neighborhood no one wants to go to games. The Raider's bailing should have been a wake up call.
