Will Chargers leave for LA? Which newspaper d'ya read?
Don Bauder, McCourt made 3 failed attempts to buy a MLB team before he "bought" the Dodgers. He over-levered himself in order to get them,then raised concession and ticket prices EVERY year during his ownership. While he was doing that, he was also raping the Dodger coffers, using them as his own personal bank account. When that money was gone, he borrowed over $400 million against future ticket sale. He bankrupted the Dodgers. Name another owner who has done something like that. Perhaps you could also explain McCourt's crime/gambling background.— March 18, 2013 3:08 p.m.
Will Chargers leave for LA? Which newspaper d'ya read?
Frank McCourt epitomizes sports owners? Really? I mean you seriously think he is representative of all sports owners? If you really mean that, if you're not just spouting hyperbole, the the only thing I can say is WOW!!! I mean WOW as in you've gone from a biased viewpoint, skipped right over cynical and landed squarely in the middle of jaded.— March 18, 2013 9:11 a.m.
Will Chargers leave for LA? Which newspaper d'ya read?
As long as Frank McCourt owns half of the parking lots in Chavez Ravine, there can be no stadium built. And I think it's a pretty good bet that McCourt will NEVER sell to the Guggenheim group.— March 17, 2013 9:24 p.m.

Yes pulls out the stops at Pechanga
I believe that we first saw Yes in San Francisco in 1971, so probably the Fragile tour.As I remember, it was around my birthday and my wife-then-girlfriend took me for my birthday. Quite a departure from Jerry and the boys, but nevertheless, we became fans. I do have to say though, a Yes without Wakeman and Anderson would seem more like Yes lite, no disrespect to Messrs. White, Squire and Howe intended. Also, a mention of the passing of Peter Banks would have been nice.— March 16, 2013 10:06 a.m.
Will Koch brothers help Papa Doug buy LA Times or parent Tribune Co.?
No surprise hear. Broad commented publicly about a year ago that he would pursue acquiring the LAT once Tribune Co. emerged from BK. David Geffen wanted to turn LAT into a non-profit back when he wanted to buy it a few yrs ago, but I don't know that Broad had similar intentions back then. Broad seem to be getting a bit feisty as he approaches his 80th birthday. He's also trying to take over LAMOCA and partner it with the National Gallery of Art in D.C.— March 16, 2013 8:15 a.m.
Remember Blackwater? Documents reveal it was a CIA extension
Ah yes indeed he did, of which I am well aware. The point of my comment was to point out your small error, of which you seemingly took notice as I see that you have changed your blog to read Erik Prince instead of Charles Prince. Good on ya.— March 16, 2013 7:46 a.m.
Remember Blackwater? Documents reveal it was a CIA extension
Wasn't it Erik Prince who sold what was then Xe Services? Perhaps the group of investors who bought the company renamed it Academi to distance themselves from Prince and shake the stigma of associated with him. Remember, originally their intent was to recast the company as a military training organization instead of a private security service.— March 15, 2013 1:51 p.m.
Lawyer Stocker disbarred over child pornography
So let me get this straight. On July 15, 2005, his lawfirm finds child pornography on his work computer. Three days later, they fire him. THREE YEARS LATER, July 2, 2008, he pleads guilty to one count of Possession of Child Pornography and is sentenced to three years formal probation; 30 days county jail; fines/fees totaling $950.00; 60 days Public Service Program/volunteer work; a Fourth Amendment waiver; and registration as a sex offender. In July 2, 2009, the court found he had complied with his probation conditions, and reduced his probation from formal to summary. Then his criminal conviction was expunged on October 17, 2011. But it's not until August of 2012 that the state issues an order of inactivity, making him not eligible to practice law, finally disbarring him on December 19th. So from the time he was fired, in July of 2005, until August of 2012, this guy was still able to practice law, while the case was pending for THREE YEARS, while he was on probation, and for another 3 yrs after the change in his probation status. And it still took another 10 months after the conviction was expunged for the state bar to file the Stipulation disposition in state bar court. and finally disbar the guy. WOW, someone in the CBA sure has their head up their ass.— March 14, 2013 10:25 a.m.
