Super Bowl "wish list" items are requirements
If a new stadium is open-air, don't look for a Super Bowl in Buffalo. Unless they play it in July.— June 10, 2014 9:53 p.m.
Super Bowl "wish list" items are requirements
Don: No problem. It really is hard to keep track of all the stadia built in that region recently; Target Field for baseball, TCF Bank Stadium for Univ. of Minnesota football, and the new Vikings Stadium to be built, with the public "contributing" well over $1 billion for all 3 facilities combined (so far).— June 10, 2014 3:02 p.m.
Super Bowl "wish list" items are requirements
Eastlaker: The reason the SB is being held in Minneapolis is a new domed stadium is being constructed to take the place of the old domed stadium. Even the NFL isn't THAT dumb. But getting to the game--that could be a bit of a problem for some--as if the NFL cared.— June 10, 2014 9:26 a.m.
Super Bowl "wish list" items are requirements
Don: Again, I am shocked--SHOCKED--that you doubt the sincerity if the NFL. The NFL--tied to GAMBLING??!! Say it's not so! (Of course, there is the little matter of head coaches being fined by the league for not reporting all players injured on the weekly injury reports, and the league tweaking the injury reports to list injured players as probable, questionable, doubtful, or out. Or the changing of the day of publishing the injury reports from Thursday to Wednesday--it's as if the sportsbooks/gambling industry requested the changes, and the NFL obliges)— June 9, 2014 9:49 p.m.
Super Bowl "wish list" items are requirements
But Don, how can you doubt The League? They wouldn't possibly take advantage of a host city, would they? Why, it's an HONOR to host the Super Bowl (Just ask the NFL). Teams, er, cities build new stadia everywhere to get in on the Super Bowl rotation--oh, wait, there isn't one anymore. But the hundreds of millions of dollars--oh, wait, fantasy numbers. Oh never mind.— June 9, 2014 7:54 p.m.
U-T hypes long-delayed Manchester hotel plan
I see that the story was listed in the Manchester U-T under "business" and "tourism". I just wonder what the hell it has to do with San Diego.— May 22, 2014 5:33 p.m.
Fast-food workers’ hours cut —no idea why
danfogel--Thanks. I wasn't sure who would deal with those complaints.— May 18, 2014 9:51 p.m.
Fast-food workers’ hours cut —no idea why
If some of those protesters were scheduled to work that day and marched instead, they would be lucky if their hours were reduced. They should be terminated for job abandonment. On the other hand, if management is having them clock out to prevent O.T. and have them keep working, that manager should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I wonder if Dumanis would prosecute that.— May 18, 2014 7:09 p.m.
Feel sorry for Donald Sterling?
Don: Neither had I, until this morning. I have seen the story on both Fox Sports and ESPN today.— May 2, 2014 12:29 p.m.
Feel sorry for Donald Sterling?
Don: It appears now that Sterling will take this fight to his death bed, as Fox Sports is reporting this morning (although this may have been known for some time, even though it's the first time I have heard of it) that Sterling has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.— May 2, 2014 9:04 a.m.
