    A couple mamalukes who live a stone's throw from the current stadium may complain and boycott. But that's their problem. It's not just about attracting a greater number of butts in seats, but being able to generate more revenue from the stadium. That place was a dump. I know long island residents who are hockey fans who haven't been there in a decade plus. It's awful. It was an outdated pile of concrete in the 80's, let alone now after all the new buildings have gone up. A small percentage of current fans may jump ship (although I highly doubt that will be the case since they are only 20 miles away and in a better arena) but it stands to reason they will get spillover interest from new fans in the local area as brooklyn is pretty much the epicenter of young families with disposable income in the NY metropolitan area.

    some hardcore long island residents will complain. But the vast majority of the population is going to be better served by this location. there was no public transport out to nassau. Nobody who worked in manhattan was heading out to games on Tuesday or Wednesday nights, whereas madison square garden is filled with people coming straight from work (just like the baseball venues). Barclays Center has both Long Island railroad access from multiple lines, and MTA subway access from multiple lines.

    Yeah we have entered absurd territory. I know the building on LI sucks. But they had a small dedicated fan base out there. I doubt they will go to Brooklyn for the games. So now they need to build a new fan base. For a [expletive] team. Smart. What? Their stadium was a dump and nobody went. So they moved 20 miles to a brand new stadium. What are you talking about?

    And who writes an entire article full of single sentence paragraphs? Half the "journalists" NSBB spits out 99% of sportswriters write columns that look like that one.
  5. jersey cubs fan
    I don't get what point you are trying to make with the last two sentences. Why is announcing the Islanders will move 20 miles something they shouldn't do during the lockout?
  6. jersey cubs fan
    Islanders slated to move to Barclays Center in 2015, if they ever play hockey again. Good move.

    For those familiar with the Cutler is a cat meme. http://cdn.ksk.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/lol-because-jay-cutler-is-a-cat.jpg Or maybe this should have gone in the Garfield minus Garfield thread.

    Of course he's going to say that. Leverage his way going somewhere he wants. He has a no trade clause. What leverage does he need to drum up by making misleading or false statements? To make it clear he's not simply going to accept whatever trade is put out there just to get out of town. It's leverage and face saving to say you want to stay and prove something.

    I disagree with the way tice called the game, instead of pouring it on a blowing the lions out, we stalled and played chicken [expletive] Cutler said that there were some throws he just could not make and that the game was called the way that it was out of necessity. They definitely slammed on the breaks but it would more out of necessity than anything else, as others noted.

    Huh, I could have sworn this already happened.

    Is that policy you have to be on roids or you're out?

    He was Jim Hendry's right hand man and there has never been any indication as to what he does well. So therefore, he must be bad at his job. The only grounds you use to assert this is that he worked under someone you didn't like. Great logic you have there. That's a pretty stupid statement. I questioned what he does well. I've never heard anything good about him. Nobody has ever made any sort of statement about what value he brings to the organization. I don't see it, and I'd like to know what it is. I don't just assume that middle management types in sports are great at what they do. I'm not sure why anybody would.

    I'm pretty sure it's just his association with Jim Hendry. That's kinda what I've figured so far. Did you ever read anything that said he was good at his job? That he got a 3 year extension? Jim Hendry got an extension, multiple times.

    I'd like to hear Brett's justification for claiming the Cubs are lucky to keep Randy Bush.

    Something to do with their desire to make injury prevention the wave of the future?

    What does he bring to the table?

    Bruce Miles ‏@BruceMiles2112 #Cubs give assistant GM Randy Bush 3 yr extension

    Tigers fans are fans of other Detroit teams, which means they suck.

    Garza, Carimi and Rachal were all bad. Webb is currently the best OL on the team and he's not even average. It's so glaringly obvious how the Bears offense is all about the talented skill position players trying to make do with completely incompetent lineman (not to mention a dullard as OC). You watch them operate and it's surprising they don't score more, but the line is constantly getting penalized and ruining drives when they just flat out aren't blocking.

    Far be it from me to point this out but you haven't been paying attention if that's how you think Jay has played.
