I love the wallpaper but D12 seems faded a tad too much. Great work with the design.

Yep I agree with that. Get it fixed hackers!

This is already old news, thanks to baseball and another steroid scandal.

I saw this story mention on Around The Horn earlier today. I would give you a recap of what everyone said. Everyone on the show was talking out of their ass. So it was tough to understand what anyone was saying.

[Alex]

LOL the people running the show are idiots.

“This is your opportunity to get on board before its (sic) too late. Once we solidify our signings there will be no seats left,”

This would be the firing offense for me right here. No spell-checking on a letter to the season-ticket buyers? "I can haz ticket revenue?"

And I'm sorry, I know this isn't Reef and Big Dog here, but regarding "oops, sorry, we're all outta seats!", when was the last time THAT was a problem? I can't tell you how many times I've laughed off a ticket rep with the "lock it in now in May before it's too late!" phone calls. That's telltale A$G legacy right thurr. The good news is whoever approved this letter can have his/her job back at the Tast-E-Freeze.

Speechless. Just speechless.

Just reading.

This is our second offense tampering. LA fans are calling for the League to block any deals concerning Atlanta and Howard and Paul.

Can they do that???

[HawkItus]

The difference is all those were people in management. Show me a tampering charge for the mistake of ticketing rep and then I'll be concerned.

Like you know how much dirty stuff ferry must have done to get billy knight to take joe johnson?

"Knight... King... Pawn... whatever."

I can't stand how they call me and think I'm some type of idiot that will buy into their sales tactics. Even novice fans know that there is never an urgency to lock in tickets for any Hawk regular season or playoff game.

It is quite simple. If I want to go to a game, I will check on StubHub before gameday and pick up some seats for 5 bucks. There is NEVER a time I need to purchase tickets in advance because there are always plenty of good seats to be had for every game.

...but it's good that they're afraid. :D

Now this is interesting...

When Riley and other Heat executives like managing general partner Micky Arison and senior vice president Andy Elisburg put together the plan that they thought would land James and Bosh, season-ticket holders were sold on the idea of a Heat trying to build a dynasty.

Surely the Heat didn't sell season-ticket holders on this idea before free agency started, right?

However, we're not the league darlings, so we probably should expect the worst.

[NekiEcko]

Its was a honest mistake, I cant see why people is losing their minds about it. I hold my judgement until we get some real concrete pushback from this and not from a newspaper that get most of their stories wrong and have less cred then a high school paper.

Besides it wasnt on purpose, so just its should be a fine.

The Heat probably didn't put the names Lebron James and Chris Bosh in print though...lol.
