I miss Shawn Kemp.

Him and the "glove" were fun to watch.

I was at Oregon State the same years as Payton. That was such a joy to see. My favorite players are the ones who play the hardest and the smartest.

Kemp and Payton were pretty much opposites. Kemp was all about athleticism. Payton could barely dunk. In fact I think I saw him miss more dunks than he made.

(Almost) every town has a soccer team and stadium in Europe and few of them are taxpayer financed.

Why is America so much worse at sports management than Europe?


If you try to do a major construction project in the US a thousand groups will come out of the woodwork and start making demands and trying to get payoffs.



You think this is any different in Europe?

Just look at the hoops Arsenal had to jump through to get the Emirates approved.

You might as well have written that in Sanskrit.

There is no professional hockey team here either!





This is why they're interested again. There is the possibility of a double use arena now. There wasn't before.

As an NFL owner myself I have in fact spent my own money to help expand Lambeau field.

Isn't this old news? I was living in Seattle at this time. A bunch of millionaire owners wanted the taxpayers to pay for their new toys. We said no so they pouted and left. Boohoo....

The twelve women he impregnated can all attest to that!

The owners didn't pout. They got everything they wanted somewhere else.

The only people who didn't get what they wanted were the fans in Seattle.
