That's No Moon

Yes, the point is that indoor cats can live a long time. Hard to say how much longer it will live on its own. If it's sick it's sick and it's a different conversation, but I didn't get that impression. I'm still trying to figure out how my question was out of line. On a scale of 1 to 10 with where I could have taken that I give it about a 1.5. Putting it down is more humane than that.

My wife's cat lived to 21.

The Dolphins dont need any help screwing themselves up. I'm not rooting for any Fish either. If there are any double agents in Miami they are on the offensive line.

Feel free to explain. All you gave us is that since the cat is the only cat it's clingy and noisy.

So you want to put the cat down because it wants your attention and love?

If you have to tape its mouth shut, it probably shouldnt live in your house. Unless you have a safe word.

Taylor is too young for him.

She dumps him for a younger player? Imagine the scandal and all the clicks and views the young ladies would give for that.

Everybody gets old eventually

I did not want to face an 0-3 Baltimore team on the road at night. Glad they hung on today.

That intersection is 4.5 miles from City Hall as the crow flies. Coincidentally, you know what is about a mile and a half from City Hall? The intersection of Best and Jefferson. Is that downtown?

Where Fulton County was is the Buffalo equivalent of putting a stadium at the intersection of the 190 and 90, or the 190 and the Scajaquada. Yes it's in the city, no it's not downtown, and no it's not splitting hairs. Fulton County had NOTHING around it. I was there in 1995 and that should have reflected the peak of it's development. Stadiums like Fulton County weren't even intended to contribute to urban development in the way you are suggesting. They were built for ease of access from the suburbs as teams abandoned the city centers and if anything they detracted from urban development. Virtually all of the stadiums from that era had the same blueprint. Find an intersection of highways, bulldoze a huge swath of land, plunk down a (usually round) stadium in the center of parking lots. Repeat. The Vet complex, Fulton County, Arrowhead and Kaufmann Stadium, Jack Murphy Stadium, Shea Stadium, Rich Stadium and the original Lancaster Dome would have done that. That trend continued basically up to the construction of Camden Yards in Baltimore and if you go there it didn't really "create" development by itself, it was something added closer to the end of a massive redevelopment of the Inner Harbor to augment it, not to drive it. A stadium can help capitalize on development that already exists, such as the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville or whatever they call the Roomba in Vegas. It doesn't move the needle at all in terms of creating it. Atlanta having the Braves at all was much more of a reflection of the growth and burgeoning economic strength of Atlanta than the stadium they built for them or an AS game they had once.

If you want evidence that stadiums don't create offshoot business by themselves look at Philadelphia. Philadelphia has had some degree of sports complex in the same spot since the 1970's. First it was the Vet and the Spectrum across the street from each other, no it Lincoln Financial, Citizens Bank Park and the Wells Fargo Center all together in the same place. There is something going on at that complex almost every night of the year between the Phillies 82 home dates, the Eagles 11ish home games, the Flyers 41 home dates, the Sixers 40 something home dates, lacrosse games, concerts, etc. There is absolutely nothing there that isn't either in the stadium itself or directly owned by Comcast. Very recently, Comcast built the Xfinity Live building with some bars and restaurants inside it to serve the pre-game and post-game crowd but that is all. That isn't an example or organic development. Everything else is a sea of parking lots and industrial buildings. The one hotel that was built to serve that site was a dump and has since been remodeled.

I've heard that at least 4 times during this ongoing rebuild. I don't believe that KA is competent. I don't believe that Lord Terrence has the slightest clue how to run a hockey team. Reaching back for Lindy Ruff is the totally predictable "sell some tickets" move that the drought Bills would have done.

Ok, settle down. There wasn't a WS, Super Bowl or Olympics until the 1990's. If you ever went to Fulton County Stadium there wasn't development around it in the way you are talking about. And neither Fulton County or the Olympic Stadium were "downtown" in the way people are talking about. They were inside the beltway, in the city but not "downtown". The Georgia Dome moved the stadium DIRECTLY downtown and adjacent to their convention center. That timing also coincided with Olympics development and the Super Bowl. The new football stadium is next door to the previous one so it's capitalizing on being downtown also. The new baseball stadium is nowhere near that and was intentionally moved to where it is because getting downtown in Atlanta sucks and the Braves were able to control the land around the stadium and do all of the development we are discussing themselves. It's not like it was organic growth. The area around their stadium is the equivalent of Disneyland. The Braves own all of it and control all of it. Nobody makes money from it except them.

Football started in Fulton County Stadium, then Georgia Dome, then Megatron's Butthole. Baseball was Fulton County, Olympic Stadium (I forget the corporate name), now Truist Park out in Cobb County.

I'm pretty close to being done with the Sabres.

This is also their 3rd baseball stadium and 3rd football stadium since 1990. The footprints have moved. Football #3 is close to where football #2 was, Baseball #2 was close to baseball #1 but baseball #3 is nowhere close and that's the one that was the most successful.

To be fair, she was frisking everyone who went into that men's room that day.

I loved the Mets when I was a kid. It's hard to learn that all your heroes are drug addicts and wife beaters.

Miami, New England, Dallas, Jacksonville, Jets, Kansas City Yankees, Mets, Braves Flyers, Bruins, Canadiens, Maple Loaves Tonight is a Giant Meteor game. Can't root for either team so I root for a giant meteor.

Depends on what he's getting from Bona. Probably not 21M, but if handling NILs and fundraising is part of his gig a percentage of fund raising could be part of the deal.

It builds character. I used to ride my 10 speed over the North Bridge fairly regularly. On the sidewalk of course. Just don't fall left...or right...

Grand Island is basically the same every time I go back.

Did you see the one handed diving TD catch he had earlier?
