Re: Getting the spins
The new Taylor Swift album seems fine so far, but I have to say, I prefer her older stuff, before she became less commercial. Yeah, it's pretty boring, tbh. It fit my vibe yesterday when I listened the first time. I wasn't listening with intent necessarily, but had it loud enough to hear while I wa...

Re: WNBA Draft
The Bulls' attendance went from a consistent 6000-7000 per game to 18,000 per game when they drafted Jordan. I would not be surprised to see a big jump for a few of the WNBA teams, at least for this year. To me, the big unknown is whether the increased interest will be sustained.

Re: To the extent it comes up: Trump crap post-WH years
I'm curious how there are 2 lawyers who don't pay attention to politics or government. How can you be a lawyer and not pay attention to where the laws come from? I guess they're too busy working? Realistically, it probably depends a lot on what type of work the lawyer does. For me, it's rare that a...

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Apparently the deposits were only a hundred bucks a seat. And they haven’t announced prices for the actual season tickets yet.
Utahns are desperate for national attention. This place went crazy when a Hard Rock Café opened. So I think this’ll be a huge deal for a while.

They needed for it be a western locale. Detroit or Columbus would have pitched a fit about the added travel of a shift back to the western conference.

My concern all along has been that SLC is just too small to support an NHL or MLB team. But apparently our population is really close to the population of Denver when the Rockies started and the Avalanche moved in. I'm certainly not going to claim that we deserve a team, certainly not more than Queb...

I remember that one, now that you mention it.
He was not a pitcher you'd expect to hit a homer. He only had 2 HRs in 600+ PAs before the AL adopted the DH.
