don’t know that it’s not having enough of your own fans, but maybe it is.

Ok I see what you mean - I wasn’t picking up on that exactly

It was easy to get distracted from subtle nuances in that scene.

One thing that always irritates me in watching Stars home games on TV is that the tickets for the seats right behind the Stars bench, especially right behind where Lindy sits most of the time, always seem to be sold to Blackhawk fans or Kings fans or Redwings fans who show up wearing the visiting teams' sweaters. It is almost as if some visiting team ticket broker deliberately bought those seats to sell them to fans of the visiting team. You would think the Stars season ticket office would address that to ensure that you don't have visiting team fans right behind the home team bench.

Either their fans have not bought all of the available prime tickets, or they have bought them and sell them to others.

Like a liberal I know who hates Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner - makes fun of him , calls him a freak....yet totally supports the bathroom ordinance. Proof that she only detests that he doesn’t bow down to their King

I do think it’s the greedy fans who want to make a profit from their tix.

the VP pick will be interesting to watch. Scott Brown is decidedly a RINO, as is Chris Christie, and they, as well as Trump, are all from the NE, so not a wise pick for geographic reasons as well as ideological reasons, but there will be Freepers lauding one or both if they are chosen.

Right, or they can’t really afford the playoff tickets (no small amount of money), but buy them knowing they will enjoy some and sell the others.

I don’t think that any restrictions should be placed on any tickets after-the-fact.

The jackass in Cleveland, then Baltimore, instituted policies to prevent single-game sales to Steeler fans, forcing them to buy unwanted tickets to other games.

yes, I see both sides of it. it is annoying to have opposing teams fans sitting near us but I can’t see restricting people from reselling their tix either, it’s un-American.

Believe me, I’ve been in Heinz Field for a Pitt game where it’s swarming with WVU fans. I don’t blame them for buying tickets and showing up. I blame Pitt for not putting an attractive enough product on the field to fill the stands with home town fans.

Ted Leonsis, owner of the Caps, is a huge G’town fan, so of course xshub can’t stand him. he used to attempt to restrict SU fans from buying tickets to G’town-SU games, back when they were both Big East. Don’t remember what his methodology was. Not such a big deal these days, but SU fans live all over and tend to show up and are often a presence at away games.

Overcast here-72, and more storms on the way-

Bernie’s ardent supporters
Must be drinking oenomel
In quantities that impair
The ability to reason well

The idea of everything free-
A socialist nirvana each day
They all will be so overjoyed
Until it is their turn to pay

Hillary passes out the koolaid
It’s the same old Clinton brand
That she gave out to everyone
Whenever Bill got out of hand...

“barring the doors and burning the place to the ground with everyone inside”.

That must be the theme-du-jour now-in a set-in-the-mid-1800’s miniseries I’ve been watching, that method was used by a bad guy to rid himself of a rival family and steal their land, as well. But he missed one-a baby daughter who was in the kitchen, saved and hidden by servants, sent into hiding in Spain. Now she’s an adult seeking venganza-and she’s baaaack...

There was a twist here, as the Mother of Dragons was also inside the burning building. Good thing she’s flameproof. Or “Unburnt” as she uses as one of her titles. She strolls out of the fire naked (clothes burned off, crucial to the plot) and everyone bows down to her in awe.

That sounds really weird-is she really a Dragon Mother, or is it just a con of some sort? I’d guess strolling out of the fire naked was more crucial to the ratings than the plot...

No naked Mother of Dragons in “La Esclava Blanca”-just a pissed off Spanish woman-Victoria-who will do anything for revenge, but she and her co-conspirators are awfully careless with their arrangements for eliminating enemies-she was almost murdered because of mistaken identity by her adoptive sister and fellow vengeance seeker, and in last night’s episode, the friend who came to Colombia from Spain with her accidentally set off one of their traps and became collateral damage-there is lots of gratuitous nudity, violence and sex, though, just like “Game of Thrones”...

No, she really has 3 dragons. They were thought to be extinct, but she was given a gift of three eggs and she hatched them. In a fire, of course. It truly is a crucial plot point.
