  3. Don Cherry was actually an honest to gawd hockey commentator but he made his name in the infamous Punch Up in Piestany.

    Canada was winning when the Sovs lost their collective shit and tried to fight North American style.

    I watched that game live and stood there with my jaw on the floor as “good” ole Canadian boys pummeled the shit out of the Sovs. Don was waving the flag while other CBC commentators were “shocked” SHOCKED SHOCKED that Canadian boys would do that. Their prissy comments irked the teenaged me.

    Don’s blantant nationalism got me fired up too. I was a good ole Canadian boy (despite not looking like one) and wanted to happily kick the shit out of the Soviet Bear. Later on, I grew on to despise Don for his brainless one note nationalism (but the 1987 World Junior Championship is my one fond memory of Don… he caught the Zietgeist of the moment (the Cold War, Soviet as the enemy, hockey is Canada’s game, sometimes you gotta drop the gloves, Canadian bloodlust, etc))

  5. Billionaire failson John Fisher is struggling to get a new stadium built in Las Vegas for the A’s, can’t get a lease renewal in the interim in Oakland, and is now planning to go to a West Sacramento minor league baseball stadium for at least two years.

    The stadium only has 10,000 seats with room for a few thousand more in lawn chairs. They’ve been drawing less than 7,000 fans per game, though, so it doesn’t matter.

  7. There is no need to hole up in a limestone cave when a Richard Neutra house in the Hollywood Hills is up for grabs. Neutra is not as well known as other Modernist architects but among those in the know (*cough* my LA-based architect friend who won’t shut up about Richard Neutra) he is revered. He’s also obsessed with Philippe the Original and he’s the one who keeps dragging me off to have French Dips. He’s also the one who introduced me to the Brown Derby Cocktail. Like me, he doesn’t see anything funny about having to endure the 21st century.
