Whooooooooooooooooopsies.
Funny story: The city council and mayor's offices have gone full turbo retard in the last two weeks-two months and AEG is smelling blood in the water and, yes, yet again - they're doing another, another, ANOTHER loving study to see how to get Key Arena renovated despite Chris Hansen/Nordstroms/Russell Wilson saying they will no-joke 100% privately finance the SODO arena.

We're gonna gently caress it up. The city admin is trying so hard to gently caress it up. There's so much back room palm greasing and sneaky bullshit going on between The Mariners, The Port of Seattle, The Seattle Times and City Council & Mayor & AEG it's loving bullshit.

I still think the NHL would rather play in a refurbished Key Arena than have a team in Quebec.

I have absolutely no idea about Gotitsbear's daily routine or work ethic or anything else, but it certainly isn't unheard of for pro athletes to suddenly and dramatically fall off performance-wise due to a lack of work ethic after having achieved something big (usually the big contract, but could be making it to the big leagues too). There could be any number of things that are causing the sophomore slump; not working hard could certainly be one of them. Point being, it isn't at all unreasonable for a coach or manager to get on a guy for not meeting the expectations the team or organization has with regard to work ethic. It might be misguided in some cases, but in other cases it is totally warranted (note: I do not have any idea where Gotitsbear falls on this spectrum).

I do agree though that pro sports teams in general are exceedingly impatient and a variety of bad things comes from this behavior.

ive already posted this elsewhere but i am posting it here also because it is hockey related: last night i went to rangers - islanders game with my dad and cousin and uncle and the game was good but by far the best part of the experience was when this drunk loud 30 year old behind us who kept trying to start "JT (john tavares, captain of the new york islanders) SWALLOWS" chants which no one was interested in following along with got mercilessly owned by a 12 year old islanders fan further down his row who shouted "LOOKS LIKE YOU SWALLOW A LOT OF PORK CHOPS BIG BOY *slaps stomach*" and the guy tried to come up with a good comeback and couldnt and the kid went "WHATS THE MATTER, DID YOU JUST GET OUTSMARTED BY A 12 YEAR OLD" and the guy got extremely red and mad and started cursing out the kid and the guys girlfriend told him "you're arguing with a loving child, grow up" and he protested that the kid started it and she told him she didnt want to talk to him until he stops being a loving baby and i was extremely happy to watch this mans total emasculation at the hands of a preteen

He's most certainly the best euro ever. I think you need to include Bobby Orr, though.

Honest question -- is there a more unbreakable individual record in modern major sports than Gretzky's scoring lead?
