What do you have against old money, bro beards and people who poop on the street?


At least I'd be willing to break bread with the people pooping in the street.
I once smoked part of a joint with a homeless guy in People's Park. I was walking through with a buddy, stopped for a second..and this guy appears literally out of nowhere, so we handed it to him. Joint etiquette. Buddy afterwards wondered if he'd get AIDS. I said, we werent' smoking dicks. (That's still an inside joke years later.). Sort of like this...
drop the people's park mic now
Hahaha...no mic drop. It just sorta happened. Food or pot, if someone needs some and you have some, the right thing to do is share, even if it's a bit weird. Bearister breaks bread with the poop people, I shared some pot.

p.s. that place at Lakeshore...Mi Rancho...man, $9.50 per...but they are good.
yes, Mi Rancho, love his murals....neo primitive landscapes

Why is this controversial? They are both equally hot using base 10 numbering. She's just shifted one decimal place to the left.

I'm kind of shocked that San Francisco doesn't want the Raiders. I could understand Berkeley not wanting them. But wouldn't San Francisco enjoy Raiders fans??

Paid escort. Look around long enough and you can probably find a pic of her and me from a few years back.

Raiders Reportedly Won't Play in Giants' Oracle Park After SF Mayor's Comments
Quote:

The Raiders are still homeless.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Tuesday that the San Francisco 49ers are not planning to waive their territorial rights for the 2019 season so the Raiders can play at the San Francisco Giants' Oracle Park. The Raiders were closing in on a deal to play at the baseball stadium but have run into interference, most notably from San Francisco Mayor London Breed.

"As far as I'm concerned, the Oakland Raiders should play in Oakland," Breed told KTVU (h/t Sean Wagner-McGough of CBS Sports. "In San Francisco, we have a number of challenges that we need to address with the Warriors coming to the new Chase Arena, the housing1,400 unitsthat's going to break ground in that area, our transportation system, our ferry landing.

"We have a number of things for years that we've been working to prepare for, and we don't need another layer to add to what we already have in terms of an area that's really congested, filled with construction, and will host a number of concerts and games for both basketball and baseball over the coming months."

Mark Davis has the reverse Midas touch. Born under a bad sign (if you don't count the net worth of $500 million and the paid escort).

He should have money to burn. He must have saved tons by avoiding responsible hair salons.

Mark Davis' loaf is about the closest thing the Raiders are gonna get to a "super bowl", so I say let him have it.

When you go to your hair stylist, Mark's cut is called The Moe.

Business-wise Mark Davis can eat a turd. Skipping on $80m is pure BS. Personal style-wise...I have some admiration for bucking the trends or just being out there in left field. The Moe haircut...yeah it's weird AF but maybe it's the best cut for him...playing to his strengths. People obviously remember it.

Maybe his old man told him to pick a style and stick with it...you know like Al's slicked back hair, chains and track suit.

But wait...there's more! There was a SF Chron article (?) a few years back about how Davis still drove a 90's conversion van, held meetings at Hooters and lived in the same ranch house in Orinda. Mark Davis is his own man...a weird eccentric, with a weird haircut, one but still his own man...although maybe sugar baby wife changed that.

Just out of curiosity, how many different corporate names are we up to now on that stadium? 16? 17? I get that there's some heavy freight that needs to be paid with some of the Giants albatross contracts but this is still a little ridiculous.

Trust me, as someone who got his dream retirement job working on the Giants field the upper management of said Giants, like many, are all about the $$$$$. We have so many field mangling events on that lovely place that I'm rethinking my decision. All in the name of money. They'll change the name of the field every chance they get.

I don't understand the issue here. They changed from ATT to Oracle because ATT had a year left on their contract and told the Giants they weren't going to renew and that the Giants were free to sell off the last year if they found a taker. I think most of the other name changes had to do with corporate acquisitions (company that owned naming rights got bought and thus changed names) that had nothing to do with the Giants.

Peter Magowen, former Giants owner, who recently passed away, was Safeway's CEO. Safeway sells groceries but their real business is real estate and development. When the Giants build PacBell on their own dime (minus infrastructure) they made out like BANDITS because they were granted development rights in the adjacent area..worth billions now. The Giants are now developing those rights and baseball is likely a secondary business.

Time for pitchers and catchers to report...

Hi Souse!

re: your question...

Actually, Oracle is only the second distinct corporate name if you take into account that PacBell was bought by SBC which was bought by ATT.

As noted in another post, the Giants (worth billions per Forbes) are secondary to the Mission Rock development that is going up next door to the stadium. The partnership that owns the Giants and Mission Rock are rich beyond belief due to their shrewd wheeling and dealing.....

All ribbing aside about the name changes, the Giants have a great ownership group. If I'm not mistaken, partner Charles Johnson is probably the wealthiest (part) owner in MLB. There's zero reason to think that the team isn't on strong financial and managerial footing for years to come. Some of the baseball decisions have created some problematic salary overhang issues but that will work its way out of the system in a couple years. Still a potent force with that ownership group in place. It wouldn't be a huge shocker if the Giants went all in on Harper because of the financial means at their disposal knowing that the current salary problems are a short term concern and that the farm is relatively weak. Guess we'll see soon enough.
