A Stadium?

If anyone has been to Denver they know excatly how much a dowtown stadium can effect a city. Ten years ago dowtown Denver was on its way to become the new Detriot. Then they built one of the best ballparks in the history of baseball. In addition to the stadium the people and planners of the city of Denver deveoped the area known as LoDo into a stylish shopping and bar district.
If a your city had the oppourtunity to follow this pattern and possibly match this economic renesaince in their own downtown would you be excited, would you be hopefull, or would you just tell everyone that your city is not capable that something like that cant happen here, that we CANT.
Apparantley I live in CANTsas City.
Who knew.

Absolutley horrible thoughts in my head in regards to the new of Tony Dungys son passing away today. We always hear about the inhuman hours that NFL head coaches put in on a weekly basis. They also move their families in patterns similar to that of Military Families. Did Mr dungys job and the hours he spent doing it contribute to what happened? Who could possibly know, certainley i do not, but how could one not have the thought in the back of your mind.

Is that Ok? Is it ok that people are pushing themselves and thier families in this way so that we can watch a game one day a week? Thats a little deep for me, but how about this one? What the F^%k are these guys doing for 80 hours a week? I have recorded and rewatched many an NFL game. I have taken meticulous notes and used the pause button feverishly. Never has this process taken me more than 8 total hours. granted I am just one fan, not a coach, but you would have to figure that a coach has a little better idea what he is looking for than i do. Then we need to factor in the number of caoches that are doing this everyday. the chiefs for instance have soething like 20 coaches on staff. If you give them 20 hours a week for practice (generous) that still means that these people are spending more that 1000 man hours preparing for a 3 hour game. WHAT THE F*&K!
Maybe its time we let these coaches know that 50 or 60 hours is ok, that watching film for 2-3 hours a day instead of 8-10 is ok.
