#2 The NFL basically shit on San Diego by letting the Spanos family move the Chargers to LA. Now they aren't getting ratings in LA OR SD

#3 Frank G - that Chargers move had to be the dumbest franchise move in history and 100% predictable. Anyone with familiarity about L.A. sports could have told you that there's never been any pro football support, and Spanos wants to flip the bird to you and the other Chargers fans (I'm assuming you at least follow them) while lowering the value of his own franchise at the same time. Amazing! How Goodell managed to get a massive 5 year extension as commissioner after so many dumb & destructive moves is simply astounding to me.

#4 I heard Bed Bath & Beyond was up 10% last year, attributed solely to NFL bed shitting.



Winter Olympics....gettattaherewidatshit. They have been soft-hyping it for a few weeks, with televised ice shuffleboard tournys and tryouts, some gay ice dancing competition, and profiles of attractive participants. I might catch hockey just to see if Jamir Jagr is still playing and if Costas gets over-botoxed again.

#5 #3 - LOVED the SD Chargers - since '67 (I was 8). My Dad was a big fan, watched them in Balboa Stadium. We won tickets at SD Stadium opening season and had Season tix til Dad died in '95 and when the cost got above $1500/yr/seat. I still love individual players (Rivers/Gates) but if the rest are dead to me. I root for their opponents

#6 Chief fan here. We love Rivers too.

Saw 2 games this year; opener vs. NE but only because person had the game on. To me, still baseball season. Second was the playoff loss, but not sure what happened because I kept falling asleep. Apparently the refs ate some bad sushi and didn't get out of bed in time.

Guess there were games on today. Dunno. Was putting shelves together, teaching the boy lefty-loosey and all that.

#7 they're left holding the bag because the contracts are fixed and can't legally be renegotiated

Never stopped players from 'renegotiating' after a big season. I'd say the precedent has been set by their actions.
