Locker Room Talk May Get Her Job — but Not With Padres
Pretty close. They won 5 in a row, lost the division semi final series in 86-87 to Tacoma 4 matches to, and then won the next 5 championships. Then the MISL folded after the 91-92 season. Here's a bit of odd trivia for you. The team that lead the league in attendance most years wasn't NY, LA, SD or even Chicago. It was Cleveland. Imagine that.— August 16, 2012 3:02 p.m.

I've always seemed to enjoy watching women's sports, in some cases more than the men playing the same sports. In fact, almost always more than the men. Imagine that.— August 16, 2012 2:48 p.m.

Don Bauder Unless you have been less than truthful about your age, you are incorrect. Pop Warner football has been around for over 80 years and Little League for over 70. Now I will grant you that they probably weren't around where you grew up because neither expanded nationally until after WWII, but they were in existence back then.— August 16, 2012 2:46 p.m.

I can understand your sentiment, sort of. But that said, can't one do both? I played little league and pop warner and my parent were always there. But some of my best memories are also of going to Dodgers and Rams games when I was a kid. I mean what could possibly be more exciting to a little kid who likes baseball than to get a foul ball at a big league game and then at some point be able to have a Willie Mays or a Sandy Koufax sign it? Doesn't get any better than that. I don't think the two necessarily have to be mutually exclusive. Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— August 16, 2012 11:27 a.m.

I knew they won a lot, so I decided to look it up: 2 NASL indoor and 8 MISL indoor Championships. Not too bad. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the 2000 US Olympic soccer teams train in San Diego, actually at the CV training complex? San Diego is apparently a big soccer town!!!— August 16, 2012 10:14 a.m.

Growing up, both of our daughters played pretty much the same sports, even though they are 6 yrs apart. Softball, volleyball, soccer and, for a while, field hockey were their favorites. They were good in all of them, but I think softball was the favorite of our oldest and soccer our youngest. They weren't quite good enough to play in college, UCLA has had some pretty good teams, but they did play some club sports. Some of our best family times were going to the various sports tournaments. I think my wife and I had as much fun watching them play as the girls did actually playing.— August 16, 2012 9:59 a.m.

Well, there was a good reason the Conquistadors disappeared. They were in the ABA. We saw some of their games in the fall of the 74-75 season because we lived in SD for the second half of 74. I remember seeing them in the old SDSU gym playing in front of maybe 3k people. As I recall, the original owner sold them in 75 and the new owner changed their name. The ABA pretty much fell apart in and 75 and the NBA brought the 4 best teams into the NBA. San Diego was NEVER a good basketball town. Besides the Conquistadors and the Clippers, don't forget that SD was awarded an NBA expansion franchise. The San Diego Rockets played in the Sports Arena, which I think had just opened, from 67-71. I didn't see them play much because I was at Berkeley while they were there, but they had some pretty good players, a couple of future HoF players actually, and a guy who would end up being a better coach than player. They ended up getting sold and relocated to Houston in a Large part due to poor attendance, much like the Clippers would do a few years later.— August 16, 2012 9:49 a.m.

You're probably referring to the 2nd incarnation of the Gulls, the first was before your time. I saw the original version play when I used to visit SD as a kid. The team you mean came up here to Long Beach in the mid 90's and I think they were around until 2 or 3 yrs ago. The basketball tean was the San Diego Clippers. You should be able to figure out what happened to them. The soccers were one of the best i teams period. We saw them play outdoors a few times, but I don't recall seeing them in SD when the switched to indoor., but I'm pretty sure we must have when they played up here in the Forum. The problem was that the MISL folded. I think they played in some low budget league for a year or two, but then it all went way. Here's one for bonus points. Remember the San Diego Breakers from the IVA?? Here's a clue. He didn't play for the Breakers, but he is a San Diego native. So if you know who Byron Shewman is, you should be able to guess the sport.— August 16, 2012 2:01 a.m.
Embrace the Suck
WOW!!! But I have say honestly say that "coming back" after a nearly 6 month absence, with a podcast and a new website, is something less than awe-inspiring. In any case, good luck with that.— August 15, 2012 8:23 p.m.

No, but rather than trying to explain a rather convoluted story, this should explain it pretty well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avanti_cars_%28non-S… and http://money.cnn.com/2004/08/18/pf/autos/avanti_f…— August 15, 2012 8:02 p.m.
