    How can you put fans in seats when your team keeps on losing?

    Yeah when Colts were away they televise em. But now all Ravens games are televiused in Baltimore cause its the hardest ticket to get. But now some states concidering about passing laws to order local TV televise games even its not sold out

    Oh boy you better not fuck with Florida State Police. Theyre are a bunch of bad assed mother fuckers. Look what state trooper did with Miami cops


    And guess what Miami Dade county police wont assist backup with troopers now. If one asked for back up she wont get it.

    Radio Dispatch..Ram 14 trooper request back up 3 suspicious males in vechile.
    Officer...She requests back up? after what she did to one of our own? Tell her good luck with dealing with them if she makes it out ok.

    Back then how can you get corperate watch a losing team? wanna see what WBAL TV showed back then when Colts were playing at Memorial Stadium?



    Thats the crap i gotta watch when the Colts were playing. You have 2 choices back then. You can sit back and watch this shit. Or you can pay $12 watch the Colts play and lose.

    Doesnt mean those seats were un-sold. In fact those seats have been sold for generations as corporate seats. Please remember baseball is a business. Its the money that matters.

    By the way, fannies in seats means sold tickets not actual fannies in actual seats.

    Those are legend seats. They cost $100,000 per season. During the world series those seats will cost you $10, 000 per game.

    Yeah if i was free. But the thing about cable. In the begining Cable was just $15 a month and HBO and Showtime was about $10 each. and there were no hidden fees. Now it gone Up and up,and up,and up,and up and then the add fees and taxes and now people are upset. My dad said cable companies are one of those type of companies who will simply run your wallet dry.

    I would say you know Ramadan is not a day right...but then I thought , most likely not. But I know you just mean it as a sad dig at Islam...Because only your Religion should get holidays in the US...

    Holidays are basically days I work longer hours , not get a day off. Outside of Easter, Christmas, and Thanks Giving. oddly 2 days off for Religions I am not. The rest are basically days where I will work more hours, and in some cases make a lot more cash ( I love Labor day as I can make more that weekend then I do in the whole month of Dec or January.

    so don't have it
    Also its not the Cable companies half the time, its the companies that provide the shows that jack up the prices the most.

    I still think they should declare Superbowl weekend into an national holiday. Means Sunday into Monday. Cause theres a lot of missed time from work because of parties and hangovers. Just like New Years eve into New years day people dont work on new years day right? So why not make Superbowl weekend into an national holiday?
