Chargers head opposed to Inglewood move
Perhaps you missed the Super Bowl in Dallas 5 years ago. Or maybe the fact that Minnesota will be playing in a dome next season and will be hosting Super Bowl LII in 2018. Super Bowl LI is in Houston. Super Bowl LIII will either be or in Florida or a dome and Super Bowl LIV will be decided between losing candidate cities for LIII and whichever stadium is built in Los Angeles, most likely Inglewood. Dallas and Phoenix have already submitted a request for consideration for 2021. The NFL typically awards a Super Bowl to new stadiums in warm-weather cities and new domed stadiums in cold-weather cities. New Jersey was an exception, one not likely to be repeated for quite sometime— January 11, 2016 6:40 p.m.
Chargers head opposed to Inglewood move
don bauder Here is where I got my information: http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-inglewood-nfl… I would tend to give more credence to someone who has actually been there and talked to the development manager. But that's just me. BTW, I read this earlier today: http://www.latimes.com/sports/nfl/la-sp-nfl-la-re…— January 11, 2016 6:15 p.m.
Chargers head opposed to Inglewood move
don bauder One correction to your column. The stadium is not "supposedly under construction". No one involved, either the NFL or Kroenke, has made such a claim. Work is underway at the proposed stadium site. They have completed most of the demo work for the site and are working on grading and finishing infrastructure work, with the goal of being in position to start building the stadium in a year. Apparently, they are ahead of that schedule.— January 11, 2016 3:14 p.m.
CPUC ousts administrative law judge
don bauder You are correct, we have been thru this before. And each time I have said basically the same thing. Brown doesn't have a 2/3 majority in either house. He needs a couple of repubs to help him out. And at this point in time, I would dare say that there are some members of his own party not too happy with him. Just this week alone, he has p!ssed off a contingent of them by coming out against the proposed minimum wage increase and a whole slew of them are not happy with his proposed budget. You and I have differing opinions. I don't think he could even get all of the dems on his side let alone bring over a few of the opposition. I believe we do agree on one thing though, that it doesn't matter because he's not even going to try.— January 9, 2016 12:36 p.m.
CPUC ousts administrative law judge
don bauder, The governor, this one or any other, can't get rid of the commission members. It's a constitutional thing. They are appointed by the governor and approved by the state senate with a majority concurrence. The legislature may remove a member for incompetence, neglect of duty, or corruption, but only with two thirds of each house concurring.— January 8, 2016 3:57 p.m.

NFL oomph
don bauder My comment was made to refute NothingSurprisesMeAnymore's theory that the Clippers sale price "reset the bar" for NFL owners, or any other sports team owners for that matter. I would also argue that it was the sale of the Sacramento Kings and Milwaukee Bucks, sold for well over their valuations, that raised the bar. In particular the Kings. They were valued at $300 million and a 65% stake sold for about $350 million, bringing their valuation to around $550 million. BTW, in contrast to the Clippers, who are now valued at less than the price paid for them, the Kings are now valued at $800 million, well above their post sale valuation. I should also mention that Steve Ballmer was also part of the group who initial tried, and failed, to by the Kings. As I said, he really, really just wanted to own an NBA team. apparently at any cost.— January 8, 2016 4:35 a.m.
"Military age men" at San Diego's southern border
As I said, wingnuts anonymous and sockpuppets!!!— January 7, 2016 9:02 a.m.
NFL oomph
I think this is probably the answer to your question. From WSJ: "Under Ballmer's tenure as CEO, Microsoft's annual revenue surged from $25 billion to $70 billion, while its net income increased 215 percent to $23 billion, and its gross profit of 75 cents on every dollar in sales is double that of Google or International Business Machines Corp"— January 6, 2016 8:42 p.m.
"Military age men" at San Diego's southern border
Looks like a wingnuts anonymous meeting just let out. Time to open a beer and to get some more wood for the fireplace and stove. This is gonna take a while to sort thru.— January 6, 2016 8:35 p.m.
