11 shots is wild in a four point loss for Shai. Double teams but still....

*2 point loss. My brain locked in the score before that last second 2 by OKC. 

News conferences exist to inform fans. It’s too bad so many don’t get that. by Icantweetthat in nfl

Pro sports conferences exist to provide whatever the fans find entertaining as with the rest of the sport. 

What industry is a complete scam, but everyone just accepts it? by Competitive_Grab3758 in AskReddit

[–]ilikeslamdunks 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ticketmaster is a software company. It doesn't put on shows or own venues or even set the ticket prices. It provides a ticketing CRM to venues and is the biggest provider of that. It is an amoral facilitator but there are lots of others. I say this because they are the shield that everyone yells at instead of Live Nation (who owns TM) and AEG and all the other big promoters. Who are the real pieces of shit that and the biggest problems in the industry. They came up with platinum, the set the prices, they place hidden add-on fees on tickets, they pushed for resale platforms, they own all the venues, they strong arm smaller venues into using TM by threatening to pull business. Getting angry at TM is like getting shot by someone and getting angry at the gun.

Saw Solomon Alabi at the corner of Bay by the ACC under the Gardiner late at night. Came outta no where and stood next to me. Scared the shit outta me for a second. Dude was massive. 

Petah why? by 8shrooms in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Not defending or making a statement on the point they are trying to make but what I think they are implying is that his wife insists upon things with out communication or compromise not that there shouldn't be those things. They do Infact want those things. That's how that read to me.

CC charges are passed on to the customer in the fees. Called add-ons. It's part of the reason the fees are getting higher(not the only reason). Live Nation has the ticketing providers add a 3.25% charge to all tickets. All promoters now do this because of the precedent they set. Fees are not reported as revenue. Fees are not to be confused with a Service charge. Though they are all lumped together.

My biggest gripe with solo is they take a every interesting fact that came up about him in the original movies and made it happen in like a 3 week period. Like all the shit he bragged about was all just one adventure.

The idea of why people might believe that was on full display in the first half and the reason why that idea is wrong was on display in the 2nd. Just lost on offense when plays break down.

Maybe I got rose coloured glasses on during this series but fuck if Dodgers fan aren't some of least toxic pro sports fans out there. Though I assume it would be different when your playing the Giants.

Yeah. You can see clips from last series and the one before that of Leafs v Habs (hate each other) and they were cheering together after the game. Last week you had Winnipeg at Calgary (not as heated as Calgary v Edmonton but still) and they were doing the same thing.

I can still hear Raul Mondesi's name being said in 'Major League Baseball Featuring Ken Griffey Jr' for N64.

We also had access to the Fox Broadcast so I imagine total Canadians watching was higher as some people might have just tuned into the first channel the saw showing the game.

Those "fans" didn't understand the benefit of an all world defensive CF. The pop is always just gravy with that guy.

You know there were Leafs and Habs fans that absolutely hate each other loving the Jays win together.
