Oh come on. This is really the least surprising part of this whole saga.
-
Jon Stewart has quite enjoyed this story this week.

They deserved that win. The Dallas goalie was the only thing that Dallas really had going.
-
What a game.

The 2012 Offseason Thread

I'm only excited cuz I'm tired of hearing people whine about Soriano over the years. (including myself at various points) -

Banedon replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
It's just such a terrible story and the media badly wants it to be true. -
Yep. Not much point in trash talking SSR at this point.

That seems like a statement rooted in a lot of fact. -

Since '07, the Kings have been at, or near the bottom of the league in attendance, and even then they were just middle of the pack. Not the same as the Cubs at all. http://espn.go.com/nba/attendance So, more like the Blackhawks. Here's an interesting perspective on the matter, an open letter from a Kings fan to the Maloofs: http://t.co/nqSTnFRD Blackhawks fans are lucky that Rocky died. Because low attendance, while the only really valid form of fan protest, does leave you open to this kind of choice by the owners. But even in the Kings years of success, they didn't crack the top 10 in attendance. The Blackhawks have led the league in attendance for the last 4 years. So even that isn't quite similar. :shock: Whoops! Obviously I meant Bill.

Deng didn't participate in shootaround.

Really? OK, I can. But its annoying none the less. I think it's funny that they're fawning over Flacco though... -

That'd be a lot of money tied up in the WR position with Welker and Marshall. I'd rather keep developing Jeffrey and maybe see what you can pick up in the draft. -

I am obviously biased by my own experiences. In addition, I have long felt that MLB is crippling itself by playing most all of its games of consequence (and a most of its games of no consequence) at hours that young fans (and plenty of early risers) will never see conclude. However, there is no bias in the observation that the Wrigley crowd is more of a family crowd in the daytime. I would argue that the Cubs are "special" with regard to day baseball if for no other reason than that they have been very successful at the gate under these restrictions. It is built into the fandom DNA - I cannot fathom other teams being nearly as well received with such a heavy daytime start mix. The Cubs may have been successful at the gate, but certainly not in the standings. There's long been theories that playing more day games is detrimental to the Cubs on field performance. Yes, the fans are used to day games, but that doesn't mean that they wouldn't watch just as much in the evenings. I'd argue the Cubs should be more successful at the gate in the evenings, when you have more people off work. There'll still be plenty of day games on getaway days and weekends. I don't know how MLB is crippling itself by playing prime time games though. Most NBA and NHL games are played at night. Hell, the Blackhawks didn't start until 9pm last night. The Bulls don't start till 8:30pm tonight.

Eh, I remember how awesome the Sacto crowd was even when the kings sucked. I hate seeing them leave. There's still what, three California teams? *shrug* The only time I remember the Kings being relevant was during the Chris Webber era.
