  1. I thought you would use the Friday roundup to discuss the citizens of Evanston’s clever name for their campaign opposing Northwestern building a new football stadium

    1. You can’t copyright a title, so all good. They’re going to be sad when they go to register social media handles, though.

  2. Great column today! Chat bots! Guardians sticky fingers! Empty 10 year old stadium just needs lipstick! Titans owner goes undercover! Police chase videos! YouTube lies again! A’s spend money on free agent! Winter canceled! There’s enough fat here to chew on all weekend!
    Thanks Neil!

  3. Omigod, it’s going to happen: a half-billion dollars to placate the owner of the Coyotes. Talk about a ten-dollar collar on a two-dollar dog…

    1. I thought the best bit was Sky Harbour actually believing that this franchise will honour it’s commitments/agreements/obligations… I mean of all the gin joints in all the world….

  4. Well, on the bright side Neil… your chat bot exercise did not return results that could best be described as genocidal racist chatbot comments… so a small victory there.

    As for the A’s, I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that they’ll sign several more middling major leaguers to contracts they are not worth. Nor can I rule out – if it looks like the team might actually not finish last – their sending down those same actual major leaguers and bringing up AA players (or popcorn vendors) as needed to ensure failure.

    This is a team that is committed. Just not to what you might think they would be committed to.

  5. Does anyone know why Tampa needs a “spring training” facility? I live here, and I can assure you that the sleet does not fall and the snow does not blow through the parking lots of Tropicana field.

    Do the Rays need a separate facility simply so that they can try the Cuban sandwiches an 80-minute drive to the south?

    1. I don’t know. One alternative use of spring training sites in Florida is they can host Florida State League teams as a means of justifying the expenses, but almost all of them have horrific attendance figures (since it’s Florida and most people tend to do other things in Florida) which make you wonder why you even have them in the state to begin with. Dunedin in particular struggles to get people to triple digits.

      At least they won’t have to worry about the Charlotte Stone Crabs cause they killed that team off a few years back when they reorganized the minors.
