-Here's my problem with all the new stadiums that are going up around the world today: they're full of fun things to distract you while you stand in line to spend $10 on a beer. Now, if the team you root for is bad, it can help to keep your mind off of that fact. But, it's all being done at the expense of what should come first and foremost in the construction of a stadium. If you spend a billion dollars on a sports stadium it, at it core, should be a good place to watch sports. There shouldn't be obstructed views that prevent you from seeing right field if you have bleacher seats. Most of all the architects shouldn't be so concerned with having such a big scoreboard that it makes it difficult to actually play the game.
-So, Ted Kennedy is trying to get the state to change the policy and pretty much allow him to name is own replacement when steps down. In other words, he's already planning for his death. Why, Teddy, how very Irish of you.
-The justice system in this country confused me. Run a huge dog fighting ring across a couple states? Your sentence is 20 months in prison. Shoot yourself in the leg in a nightclub? You'll do 2 years. Get drunk and high, get behind the wheel and kill someone? 24 days. Yeah, this all seems very fair.
-I think Memphis potentially getting stripped of their 38-win season should be a huge red flag for Kentucky. When you hire a guy like John Calipari, who likes to recruit these one-and-done high schoolers who have no type of loyalty to whatever institution they intend to go to for a semester, then you should fully expect some problems down the line. And, when you factor in the fact that this is the second time a John Calipari-led program has been stripped of a Final Four appearance you can not act surprised if it comes up again. While I think Calipari will be extremely cautious, because you can only dodge this kind of thing so many times, that doesn't mean that he will change his spots overnight. You've been warned.
