Truck Backs into Motorcycle in Normal Heights
The problem is not looking for motorcyles it is seeing them, they are difficult to see and are esily hidden in blind spots. I used to ride a motorcycle on the street, and stopped because there was just no way to make it safe. I had someone cause an accident to ME (faiure to yeild) the very first hour of the very first day I had my bike. Too dangerous for the street.— February 2, 2011 7:18 a.m.
Startling Naming Rights Deal May Boost Downtown LA Stadium
the Chargers covet LA, but are going through the motions in San Diego in case National Football League owners nix such a move. ============= NFL owners can't veto a move by any team, Al Davis and The owner of the Colts (Isray??) drove that point home when they left solid supporting fan bases for more $$$ in other cities.— February 1, 2011 8:15 p.m.
Startling Naming Rights Deal May Boost Downtown LA Stadium
I assume you believe, because you have said it before, that Roski's City of Industry ploy is DOA too. ======= None of these clowns will put their OWN $$ into a stadium, not one. They want free land, multi million dollar bond issues, subsidies, you name it they want it-FOR FREE. If they were going to finance a stadium with their OWN $$ they would be building right now. Who is going to underwrite a stadium?? No Bank is going to do that-they're not stupid. There are only two ways a stadium will be built, 1) with taxpayer money-not happening, or 2) owner money-again, not happening. After all these years, after the BOOM years, if it didn't happen THEN, it just won't happen now. Just my view-I know many people here don't think I am correct, but I am.— February 1, 2011 8:11 p.m.
Startling Naming Rights Deal May Boost Downtown LA Stadium
Holy cow, what more proof do you need, SP? This is a done deal! ==== Sorry refried, it is by no means a done deal, and IMO it won't be happening for 15-20 years-at a minimum. Remember, the Radiers left Smell A in 1995, that was 16 years ago-and the NFL, and every NFL wannabe, has been saying they are going to build a stadium ever since....heck, I remember back in 1988 when Al Davis claimed he was going to build a new stadium in Irwindale-now come one Refried-that is going back 23 years. This is all wishful thinking. If they could not get it done in two of the biggest CA booms in the last 100 years, if not the histry of the state (dot com and real estate) then they don't have a snow balls chance in hell to do it in this depression.— February 1, 2011 5:22 p.m.

Startling Naming Rights Deal May Boost Downtown LA Stadium
The naming rights with Farmers is moot, there is no financing for a Stadium. And these clowns won't front THEIR OWN cash to do these white elephant stadium deals (they are not stupid like the fans are). LA Pro Football Stadium = DOA SD Pro Football Stadium = DOA— February 1, 2011 3:13 p.m.
Startling Naming Rights Deal May Boost Downtown LA Stadium
Qualcomm paid $18 million to complete the stadium renovation, and in return got two 30 second ads during the Super Bowl and the naming rights for 20 years. They generated a ton of goodwill at the time and made out like bandits. Lets compare that to Farmer's deal. The big difference, of course, is that Qualcomm was negotiating with the city of San Diego... =========== It turned out to be an excellent deal, but it was not a steal at the time the deal was signed, it was actually ABOVE market because they paid the $18 million upfront, instead of annual isntallments of $900K, so San Diego could finish the stadium expansion. Qualcomm got the smaller part of the stick on the day the deal was signed, but over time the deal has improved dramatically for them as naming rights costs have gone thru the roof.....— February 1, 2011 3:09 p.m.

Driver Threatens Driver with Putter
What's the use of engaging in good old-fashioned road rage anymore, if some idiot is going to film you and put you all over the news? ============= LOL....with cell phone video capabilities no one is safe today-the police get filmed the most, and if it makes the news it is usually them having a metldown. It reminds me, about 15 years ago actor Jack Nicholson got into a road beef and pulled out a golf club- itwas an iron or driver, no one pulls out a friggen putter- and smashed the drivers front window to smitherings. Jack got charged with misdemeanor vadalism, but beat the rap when he paid the victim a settlement-which is technically illegal, but I guess when you're a movie star you get special treatment.— January 31, 2011 12:51 p.m.
