Arena "Tremendous" For Recruiting

Oder did watch the original interview as well, and he saw it as just another softball interview as usual. Most of those who interview Ratner will probably never go into detail let alone bring up the EB-5 Program, which Oder mentions a lot in his entries. The AYR is not one of the bread and circus media, who constantly bows down to him, he looks at the real story and reports the truth. If you believe that he is wrong, then prove him wrong. However, I will need to see evidence and nost just some blanket statement or good faith. If you asked me, it’s good to have someone who can read between the lines like Oder.

these guys are a bunch of clowns..no insight into the game..

Try telling this to those who have been closely following this, because they will say the exact opposite, while there is a film that holds the truth about it all that many will remember and it’s supported all over the country.

i love a good come back

i think the rockets are better than portland. and memphis will be without z-bo for a minute. i’ve been keeping up on the rockets. their losses came against top opponents. they are a decent team this year. i think they can make it in this year…

they did? I am an even bigger fan of the seating structure then.

I am not your everyday fan. I look at things that that go beyond just a team and their game. Also, I don’t say something that you can find on a bumper sticker either. Again, I have been to a number of Nets games since the idea was floated and asked fans there how they felt about it, and many of them did agree with me. If you want, go to games and survey some fans on what they think about the moves. Perhaps, you could be right and they will agree with you. The point is that I am against acts of cronyism, and actions such as eminent domain abuse and corporate welfare are some of them. I know some will try to use the claim that the end will justify the means to defend this or just act ignorant in that matter, but those who are following this will be it myself or Oder know the real story. Also, I don’t believe that we have to do something A to get something B, and this is not the movie Field of Dreams where building the latest sports facility will get star players or even help an area, such a claim like that is completely bogus if you asked me. Last time I checked, no other team has used a new arena as a way to attract really good players, so Billy King’s statement is nothing but wishfull thinking at best. The claim that they are net money losers goes all the way back to a study by Neil de Mause when he wrote the book, Field of Schemes, in proving that they don’t bring any tax revenues, but rather hurt areas and put levels of government in debt if ever funded. As for team logos and colors, I couldn’t care less about them because they mean nothing to me. If you asked me, you can have a state of the art arena and the best team money can buy, and still do bad in the end. As long as you have the same kind of team, the results will always be the same no matter what. Just look at how the Hornets and Grizzlies are doing after they moved, and you will see that their records and attendance are almost no different from before they left, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the same happens to the Nets years later. Even if they could land somebody really good like Dwight Howard, does that really change anything? I would think not, because Carmello Anthony is playing his first full season with the Knicks and they are not in good shape right now. In reality, it is the team that helps them do good, not where they play or just because they have one star player. Another thing I don’t care about is who they land, because it doesn’t mean that they will just do better just because of that nor do I care about what some do off the court like when Kris Humphries had the short lived marriage with Kim Kardashian, though I think he was the one cheated. I am just not a person who follows the tabloids let alone that papparazi. If Brooks wins ROY, then good for him or even DWill winning MIP or MVP, though he probably has an outside chance for either one. In the end, I am a realist on things, so I don’t use any wishfull thinking. Again, I am not trying to stop anyone else from liking something just because I don’t like it, and there is no proof I have done that just for saying how wrong it is. However, I believe that wanting to keep them a NJ team makes me feel more of a fan than others, but that’s the way I see it, and I know that there are always those who will look at things differently. Afterall, according to philiosophy, what is right and wrong can change definitions depending on who views it. Do you catch my drift now? I am not trying to attack or repress anyone, but I feel that it’s good to hear from the other side rather than have a one sided forum where everyone always agrees, which makes it boring IMO.
