Jockstrap rant
I thought most jockstraps these days were discussing deflated balls. (sorry, I couldn't resist).— January 24, 2015 11:57 a.m.
Financial freedom, anyone?
Maybe he's faking a turn to religion like that zzzzzzzzzzz best guy Minkow.— January 20, 2015 3:46 p.m.
Financial freedom, anyone?
All I know about him for sure is that he is super-tall and super-enthusiastic. Perhaps he has good strategies for succeeding in life. I really don't know how successful his strategies have been for most people. He seems to have made a lot of money for himself. So that could mean he's got a great product or it could mean he's a great salesman for a lousy product.— January 19, 2015 8:57 p.m.
Financial freedom, anyone?
"Robbins made a video in which he warned that the United States was on the verge of a fiscal crisis because of the national debt." Well I kind of share his concern there to be honest.— January 19, 2015 8:49 p.m.
What about that Spanos money?
According to a recent article http://www.cnbc.com/id/101664459#. London has 72 Billionaires (and that's a billion POUNDS not billion dollars) - more than any other city in the world. The NFL is already the #1 sport in the US by most measures so they don't have that much room to expand. But the NFL does want to expand internationally. Personally, I would think expanding internationally into Canada and South America would make more sense because you don't have the difficult time zone shift. But the NFL has had increasing number of games played in London - so I think they are serious about expanding there.— January 18, 2015 3:56 p.m.
What about that Spanos money?
As stupid as it sounds I think the NFL wants a team in London more than a team in LA.— January 18, 2015 11:53 a.m.
What about that Spanos money?
I claim that for the last 20 years or so most of the other owners have benefited from the lack of an LA team. It's given the other owners a big bargaining chip in their stadium negotiations. How much has that been worth to the other owners? Who knows, maybe $100M/ owner??? Now that almost every team has a new or upgraded stadium there isn't much incentive for the NFL to keep LA open anymore.— January 18, 2015 11:52 a.m.
Mayor Faulconer's folly
Of course they couldn't be that dumb. Susan Golding said they would stay until 2020 so it must be true. Bruce Henderson was an obstructionist for trying to claim the Chargers could leave before 2020.— January 18, 2015 10:27 a.m.
What about that Spanos money?
Some stories say the relocation fee will be $250M. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2014/… I'm not so sure the NFL has really wanted to have a team in L.A. The constant threat of teams moving to L.A. has been a goose which has laid many taxpayer-provided golden eggs for the NFL. Maybe they've gotten all the eggs out of that goose that she can lay - as most teams have gotten taxpayer-funded new stadiums or big stadium improvements during the time that L.A. has been without a team. But I think over the last 20 years the NFL has made more money with L.A. vacant than they otherwise would have.— January 18, 2015 8:07 a.m.
Mayor Faulconer's folly
I was listening to the Loose Cannon show today again. They did not seem optimistic at all about the Chargers staying They weren't even certain that building a stadium would guarantee that the Chargers will stay. The thought process they had is that even if a vote for the stadium passed then that whole process would take too long. I listened to some of the callers - most were supportive of the stadium effort but a significant number tended to be opposed for some of the reasons we believe are true - not trusting the economic impact numbers, frustration with having to pay money to millionaires and billionaires, and the fact that ticket prices won't be going down even after the big taxpayer handout. I would be a shame to see the Chargers go but I am appalled at the idea of paying a tax ransom to keep them here.— January 16, 2015 7:25 p.m.
