It's loving fried bread with frosting on and/or in it. Who the gently caress cares where it comes from, as long as it's fresh.

Could someone clarify what the hell is actually happening because it seems like every week there's a different group making another announcement to build *something* in a different place for a different team. Like what has actually been verified?

I graduated the year before and my old high school responded to it by banning trenchcoats and black shirts and KMFDM which is funny because I had already left that high school and furthermore....

I do remember a bunch of kids running through the halls screaming that OJ got acquitted though, also I got a lot of use with my ability to mimic Judge Ito's voice during that year.

My high school US history teacher had us watch the verdict live on tv. He was obsessed with the case.

Davis' biggest mistakes the last several years of his life were his coaches. He made some pretty terrible choices, starting with his decision to fire Gruden.

Norv Turner
Art Shell
Lane Kiffen

Really, since 1995, the Raiders haven't had a coach last longer than three years.

Where would the Raiders be today if Al Davis hadn't fired Gruden?

It's hard to imagine a Gruden led Raiders beating a Dungy led Bucs in the Super Bowl. But then, I don't think a Dungy led Bucs team would have even made it there.

The Pats didn't win because of scoring defense, they won because the secondary loving murdered people. Their offense wasn't even close to comparable to the Raiders. The defense killed all Warners receivers. Credit where it's due, they shut that poo poo down.

Yeah they played the receivers hard. But mostly the Patriots took Marshall Faulk away and said beat us down the field, and Mike Martz said no I want to beat you with Faulk and proceeded to lose a Super Bowl.

Well one notable difference is that getting free agents to come to LA is a lot easier than St. Louis. I'm not bagging on St. Louis anymore than my own hometown. Like when the Chiefs tried to get Peyton Manning to visit and he practically laughed at them as he flew over KC on the way to Denver.

Really untrue other than the last few years when this impending move has been a thing.

This is just my anecdotal memory but every time I watched a Chargers game from the last few years it seems there were always nearly as many visiting fans as Chargers fans, and by the 4th quarter usually only the visiting fans remained.

The problem with Spirit is that they carry the guise of a budget airline but will price gouge the gently caress out of you once they've got you on the hook. One time my dad bought a round-trip ticket from Denver to Chicago for insanely cheap. I don't remember the exact details but they ended up charging him extra for not only a carry-on bag but for the privilege of using an overhead bin.

E: I just realized the point you were making but gently caress it

All of this is very clearly spelled out when you are buying tickets from Spirit and if you don't plan ahead and print your own boarding ticket and pre-pay for your baggage you are kind of a dummy.

The lure of the NFL was just too much for Inglewood , a former city employee charges in a federal lawsuit.
Barbara Ohno , Inglewood's former budget and accounting manager, claims that the future home of the Los Angeles Rams massaged its accounting books to mask its financial problems.

In the complaint, Ohno says that Mayor James T. Butts ordered employees to "create a facade of financial responsibility and well-being for the city" as it competed against Carson to house one of three football teams looking to relocate to the Los Angeles area.

NFL team owners ultimately voted in January to return the Rams to Southern California , to play in a new stadium on the site of the old Hollywood Park racetrack in Inglewood . The stadium, projected to open in 2019, will be the league's largest in square footage.

But, according to Ohno, to improve the city's chances of winning the NFL team derby, officials padded the general fund, according to a 48-page complaint filed last week with the U.S. District Court .
