OT: The Original OT Thread - Chit chat, Raiders, Rebels, etc.

[BattleBorn]

Okay, so this is probably worth a post, even if it's self serving.

I own a small retail business here in Las Vegas (that I'd prefer to keep a little secret if you don't mind) and I get to talk to a lot of local small business owners. We all share one thing in common, business sucks since the 1st. Like, really really bad.

If you all don't mind taking an extra second to throw some money around to the smaller restaurants, shops, etc. here in town, you can really make a difference to a large number of local Las Vegans. I'm personally down about 65% year over year, and my neighbor businesses are experiencing similar drops. The large corporate companies can absorb a malaise like this, but a lot of small businesses can't.

I know it's a tough time for all of us, but just supporting your local businesses like we all were a few weeks ago can do a huge part in returning the valley to normal.

That's the last time I'll mention this.

Thanks for the thought.

LeBron told Kevin Love he would be playing Center, not the Head Coach. Kuzma looks good for my Lakers. I'm looking forward to my Raiders next game. / Mr Robot is back!

I'll stop up later. I have an empty Golden Knights bucket!

Battleborn -- braved the construction downtown to take my antique wall clock to store for tune up.

I've been stuck home most days supervising construction workers. (Bathroom is getting closer to being done. They said 1.5 weeks. Monday starts week four.)

I helped Sean Patrick with the grammar in his Physics paper and he got an A+! / Court restores Cowboys RB Elliot's 6 game ban. / I hope my Cubs win tonight.

Good lord. At least they're finishing.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Some think the Raiders game may be played in LA or San Diego due to poor air quality from the wildfires.

 

[BattleBorn]

I read that. San Diego would be pretty funny.

My parents live in Palo Alto and are complaining about the smoke. I may need to get some nasal spray when I land tomorrow.

Artificial tears may be good also.

My Cubs beat the Nats and are in the NLCS! Life is good!

With the mascot revealed maybe the Golden Knights ought to look into collaborating with DreamWorks Animation on a TV series with the main characters being a knight based on the one in the team logos and Chance being his sidekick.

 

[hangman005]

That mascot is bad juju, we were undefeated until he came along lol

Yeah, I'm not worried about it.

They'll pay someone if they need to.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

The Cubs lost, but they, the Raiders, and the GKs will all win today.

Chiefs at Raiders Thursday.

WNBA team moving to Las Vegas?

 

[calvegas04]

WNBA team moving to Las Vegas?

yaaaaaaaaaaaay...........=/

 

[Aladyyn]

WNBA team moving to Las Vegas?

So it seems. A lot of info has gotten out but we still don't know who the owners are or where the team is going to play until it's all official. We do know that Bill Laimbeer is going to be the GM/coach, which seems like a nice move to get the team off the ground quickly (they were last place 2 years in a row).

 

[Aladyyn]

Really? Is this shit necessary?

Hint: it's not.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Really? Is this **** necessary?

Hint: it's not.

My question would be, is the WNBA really necessary?

 

[Aladyyn]

My question would be, is the WNBA really necessary?

It is.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

It is.

Agreed. The NHL, NBA, and WNBA are my 3 favorite sports.

 

[BattleBorn]

I'm not a huge fan of pro basketball in general, the player following fandom trend that started 10-15 years ago turned me off.

I figure I'll give the WNBA a shot though, see if it's a good time attending a live game. Does anyone know where they're planning to play? I'm hoping for Orleans or somewhere smaller so it doesn't feel like a big empty arena.
