Opperman,

 

As you follow the sport far more than I do, I will put it down to bad information I am reading in the papers that revenues have still not reached the levels pre-last strike. As always the media do like to hype things up when there is a potential catastrophe in the making.

 

One observation however, my company have 2 suites at Turner Field which I have used from time to time for customers. I have yet (personally)to see a sellout for a Braves Game and that includes some post season games. I have never understood this and can't decide if it is a) Just coincidence associated with the games I have attended :rolleyes: A problem specific to Atlanta or c) An attendance problem with baseball in general. The Braves have been a good team year after year for the last 10-11 years.

These stupid, greedy baseball players are starting to make me sick. But I'm still going to the White Sox/Devil Rays game this Saturday. Everybody look for me, I'll be rooting for one of my boys the Big Hurt. And my Cards are still the best team in baseball(even if they don't have the best record).

Well, many of the major media outlets are owned by companies that also own teams...they aren't going to report the truth about themselves accurately when it shows they're lying. :rolleyes:

I think it's a combination of a and b...the Braves' fan base seems so used to success that they don't care until the NLCS or the WS. Dunno why, but their drawing power is terrible for a market like Atlanta.

You may be correct about Atlanta. I usually listen to the post game radio on the way back to my hotel after a game at Turner Field just to help me understand enough that I can with a talk with tiny measure of inteligence to clients who genuinely love the game. The thing that has always befuddled me is how unapreciative the fans are down there when they call in. Most cities would love to have a team the quality of the braves, however it appears to be a city that only a Title makes for a good season. Likewise, most Sundays you can get tickets for a Falcons game (apart from the Superbowl season).

 

I am glad to say that most fans in Tennessee are not that way. I think the success of Titans support has surprised a lot of folks in the country.

      Groves got the ball over 20+ times. His son arguably played the best for East in that game. 3rd and long multiple times and he came up big to continue a couple drives. Please shut up for the 3rd year in a row

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.
