    i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

              The more likely a franchise is to leave town, the more public money has to go in if the risk is deemed too great.

                  The Giants' ballpark was funded entirely with private money. (Easy to guess if you remember that FB lives out there)

                      coors field was part of a greater urban renewal project. what was once blocks of empty graffiti-covered warehouses and deserted office buildings is now a revitalized downtown community. this was a public-private partnership that worked. no regrets.
