Well Jeff, at least this time the tax payers are not going to foot the estimated 1.3 million dollars for the Big Parade and party:rock: Seems there are some private deep pockets that are going to pay for the cost of all this falderall.ViperJeff said:Well, Tim....
I feel the same way as a lot of others simple because LA is not my team and never will be (even if I lived in LA)
With that said, I really don care who wins. Never have I seen a fan benifit from a teams win in anything.
Of course, they get:
to buy champion hats
to buy champion shirts
to buy champion sweats
to buy champion glasses
to buy all sorts of ......stuff
but, they get.... nothing!

Django said:It seems to me that all of the current economic and political malaise has had an overreaching effect on everyone's phyche. So much so, that the simple pleasure and enjoyment of watching two teams competing on the field has been obliterated by the all the folderol...
What TF has happened to us....?
Please understand: I am appalled by the fact that pro sports figures make more money than vascular surgeons and other gifted individuals who actually make a huge difference in the quality of life or in service to mankind. And considering the facts, what kind of conduct do we expect from people who do nothing but bounce balls, throw them into nets, hit balls with sticks and run around basepaths etc etc etc..... If I were one of them, I'd probably be drunk on wealth and fame, too..... :dontknow:
What fools these mortals be:
"Spending counterfeit incentives
Wasting preciuos time and health
Placing value on the worthless
Disregarding priceless wealth...." (Ray Stevens)
I get it..... OK.....? Maybe even better than some out there do.....
But I can still enjoy flipping on the TV and watching something as simple and diverting as a ballgame without clouding my mind and (in short) ruining the experince by obsessing over the fact that (for instance) that asshole Andruw Jones got more money than I'll very make in my life for doing DICK.... for the Dodgers... FAWK HIM.
But still...... I will continue to enjoy the brief respite from life's many woes by watching the Lakers, Dodgers or whomever without the fetters of preoccupation with social injustice, monetary inequity, marital infidelty or any other fkn thing that may attempt to encumber me......
I love the Dodgers the most.... ever since Brooklyn. The Lakers are just a pleasant diversion during baseball's off season..... I met Chick Hearn once and he called me his friend.... So, that goes along way to keep the Lakers homefire burning in my heart.... If you don't like it, that's just tuff shit....

All I did was rain on your parade Tim. I let me personal feelings regarding a sport ruin your celebration.
I'm real sorry my friend.

.... The Magic was FAR inferior. They couldn't mop the floor in the Lakers' locker room, IMO.
