I didn't even watch any of it.... but heard it was by far the worst inauguration speech in history...

your memory must be like grandpa obiden's....

Big MASN news last night. They fired all of the Orioles pre-game and post-game hosts and announced that those shows have been cancelled. That means that Kolko and everyone else except for Bob and FP are probably gone as well. The plan is to use the in game announcers for 15 minute segments before and after each game. All of the weekly shows have also been cancelled.

MASN fired Jim Hunter, Mike Bordick, Dave Johnson, Tom Davis, Rick Dempsey and Gary Thorne. By contract MASN needs to have the exact same budget and treatment for both the Os and Nats, so I'm wondering if they had the budget for that line-up for the Os why Nats fans just had Bo Porter and Dan Kolko. Must be the Lerners were pocketing the extra cash.

Lots of speculation about what this means and whether it was done to screw the Nats. I can see where it makes sense for Angelos, he owns about 80% and those shows were probably not bringing in much profit. He can produce the same shows for the Os under the Orioles team budget and not have to pay the cost for the Nats. This leaves the Lerners having to make a decision on whether to not have any daily or weekly shows or to have to have the team fund them. Britt Ghiroli had the scoop and called this unprecedented, but I'm pretty sure that the Redskins funded the Larry Michael show that used to air on NBCSports along with some of the weekly shows. They are basically ads for the team so it makes sense that they'd by paid for by the teams.

Other speculation is whether the bubble has popped on the regional sports networks as has been predicted for many years. Lots of cord cutting going on and a lot of that is driven by non-sports fans who don't want to pay the fees that cable is charging.

One thing is for sure, MASN put the Nats in a bind by announcing this with a month before spring training. If the team wants to keep these shows going they are going to need to hire their own crew and rent out their own studio equipment. The end of MASN was always going to lead to a short term disruption, maybe this is it.

I found this article to be unfair. To Wallace. at least he changed later in life, unlike the senile, racist grifter credibly accused ofsexual assault and in the pocket of the Red Chinese.

great that trump offered his hotel to the guard for free...

other than michelle obama... this levine dude is the ugliest woman in dc..

found out today from a friend that an old friend of mine from the ghetto...... somebody that i used to know well.... was in DC and went inside the capital for a few seconds before coming out....and he got covid while there....Apparently he hadn't turned himself in, but they will get him if he had his cell phone on him at the time.They know exactly who was in there from their phones.... my buddy said that this guy went in late, didn't fight with police and just stayed in for a few seconds..... so he's probably low on the list but they will get him...
I hope this is not true, hadn;t seen or heard from this guy since we were kids... was a good kid in those days..

“On my tombstone,” he once said, “just write, ‘The sorest loser that ever lived.’”

I disagree, the impact players make at least ten times as much per season as they could make fixing games. Plus, legalized gambling makes it harder to hide cheating. Too many stats being tracked, a big variation in the betting line would get noticed.

Maybe the umps could fix a game but they are being tracked too and legal betting is harder to fix than illegal.

In 1986, we amnestied 3 million illegal aliens. Now we have at least 11 million (officially) and probably a lot more. Why would we want to create an amnesty for the current batch of illegal aliens?

Illegal aliens reduce the jobs available to Americans and legal aliens and they reduce wages. They consume benefits we can't afford to pay. Why would we want to do this with so many people unemployed (due to Democrat lockdowns) and a mass of illegals heading for our border? Are they trying to hurt the American worker? I guess they need to expand the dependent underclass.

Lease, you liar, the Trump Administration was tougher on Russia than any of its predecessors, at least since the end of the Cold War. The imposed major sanctions on Russia, Russian entities, oligarrchs, Russian businesses, and people close to Putin. I know you don't like those facts, but they remain facts.

Biden, on his first day in office, took a significant action that kills thousands of American jobs and strengthens the hand of Russia and China. I guess you approve of that.

Now, will anything happen to these people? Not with their stooge Biden in the White House.
