Dredging of Tijuana River Valley court-ordered to stop
September of what year?— February 22, 2013 8:04 p.m.
Gambling hypocrisy: Padres protested wagering facility near Petco
SP--Tim Donaghy was an NBA referee for 13 years, who went to prison for 15 months starting in 2008 for betting on games that HE WAS OFFICIATING. He was released from prison after serving out his sentence near the end of 2009.— February 17, 2013 11:23 a.m.
Gambling hypocrisy: Padres protested wagering facility near Petco
tomjohnson--several weeks ago, I heard him on whichever so-called San Diego sports radio station carries that crap (I think both 1090 and 1360 do, actually).— February 17, 2013 11:15 a.m.
Gambling hypocrisy: Padres protested wagering facility near Petco
Burwell--there is already an OTB at Sycuan. The state is slowly expanding OTB's into other areas; mainly sports bars. I know Arizona has done that for quite awhile.— February 16, 2013 11:11 p.m.
Gambling hypocrisy: Padres protested wagering facility near Petco
Don--that referee is now out of said pokey, and is now a spokesman for one of the gambling shows that plays in the morning on one of the local sports radio stations. Surprisingly, he claims to be an expert on the NBA, and also claims to have "inside information" on which teams to place bets on.— February 16, 2013 11 p.m.
Gambling hypocrisy: Padres protested wagering facility near Petco
Don--doesn't Sycuan already own the U.S. Grant Hotel? They could put a few machines in there.— February 16, 2013 10:55 p.m.
Gambling hypocrisy: Padres protested wagering facility near Petco
JW--it is my understanding that Petco Park was not the Padres first choice for a sponsor; I believe Sycuan wanted their name on the park, but as you stated, it would have been shot down quickly. (This is from my fading memory, therefore I have no link to reference this) On the other hand, Viejas has their name on SDSU's arena, and Barona can sponsor pony leagues (as long as the word "casino" is not used). The casinos do have lots of $$, and at some point down the road, MLB may just decide that since there is no sports wagering in California, having a ballpark sponsored by a casino (that doesn't engage in sports wagering) might not be a bad thing. The likelihood of that happening might be tied directly to the amount of $$ offered to slap a casino's name on a ballpark.— February 16, 2013 10:52 p.m.
Oops! NFL team official slips up and tells the truth
SP--they broke ground in April of 2012.— February 14, 2013 2:41 p.m.
Former mayor Golding calls former mayor O'Connor's gambling losses "piddling"
I almost bought this as factual, until I remembered what the title of this column is.— February 14, 2013 2:31 p.m.
San Diego's convention center expansion would build into a glut
danablasi--"...an expansion of the existing convention center will require Bed tax from the new hotel proposed next to it to service the bonds." Wasn't that the same idea with Petco Park? Of course, that was before the change in the MOU, allowing Moores to build fewer hotels and more condos, and, well what do you know, there was not enough TOT revenue to service the ballpark bonds. That couldn't possibly happen again with the convention center, could it? COULD IT?— February 13, 2013 11:01 p.m.
