Jaguars to partially abandon that hellhole Jacksonville

    That Los Angeles could lose two NFL franchises and still be a great a city is a measure of its greatness.

    It's a spectacular city if you're wealthy.

    A hellhole if you are poor.

    Basically just stretches the extremes on both ends compared to most places.

    From "Defending your Life":

    Daniel Miller: "Am I in heaven?"

    Bob Diamond: "No."

    Daniel: "Am I in hell?"

    Bob: "Actually there is no hell . . . although I hear Los Angeles is getting pretty close. Ha!"

    And there is really not much in between.

    Yeah, if you're not rich and I mean, really rich, you can't live anywhere decent in LA. I have friends who work there and one commutes from Riverside, and it's not cheap to live there either, and one has roommates at age 38. The others make big money and can afford it.

    I'm not a big fan of LA, but I have probably 15-20 friends who are in their mid- to late-20s and make decent salaries, but nothing special, and they all seem really happy out there.

    I thought I'd read that the plan was everyone eventually had to give up a home game on a rotating basis, though I imagine it'll be a cold day in hell before the Packers play a home game in London, especially considering their season-ticket holders only get six regular-season games as it is.

    How does the "Green Bay season tickets" vs. "Milwaukee season tickets" split work?

    That would be the fair way to do it, but it doesn't make sense to do it like that when there are teams struggling to sell out home games while other places have huge waitlists for tickets.

    Home games two and five of the regular season (as well as the Midwest Shrine preseason game) are designated as "Gold Package" games and are Milwaukee season ticket holder games regardless of where they fall in the schedule.

    This year's Gold Package games are the Bears (on a Thursday night in Week 2) and Cardinals. I can only imagine how brutal 41 is going between the two places on those days.

    How. Any teams are still sporting waiting lists? I think the most famous (or infamous) example were the Giants who had something like a 20 year wait list only to see it disappear when MetLife stadium was built.

    Chargers still don't have a stadium deal.

    This is complete bullshit.
