Touchdown Jesus’ Texas Condo…

cowboy stadium

I’m a Cowboys fan, but their new stadium is a disgusting waste of taxpayer money. I’m surprised that it went down in Texas so easily by allowing the local government to spike the taxes, albeit the taxes on tourism. I thought that the conservative body politic in Texas wasn’t for all this excess taxation? That is the appeal of gaining what I call ‘Stadium Status’. People want to have any association whatsoever with these now billion dollar capital construction clusterfucks.

The new Cowboys Stadium takes the cake in my opinion. At nearly a billion and a half dollars this beast of a building is named after a team that will play at best a dozen games in the building annually. Think about that for a minute. Eight regular season home games. Two preseason games and two playoff games if they’re that good. Is it any wonder that the Yankees and the Cowboys are the two wealthiest sports franchises in America? Here are some of the financial details on Cowboys Stadium…

  • Originally estimated to cost $650 million, the stadium’s current construction cost has been pegged between $1.3 and $1.5 billion, making it one of the most expensive sports venues ever built
  • The City of Arlington provided over $933 million (including interest) in bonds as funding, and Jones covered any cost overruns. The NFL also provided the Cowboys with an additional $150 million, as per their policy for giving teams a certain lump sum of money for stadium financing
  • The average ticket to a Cowboys game costs $159.65, a record for the Fan Cost Index survey, which dates to 1991. The New England Patriots previously had the priciest ticket in pro sports and that cost remained the same at $117.84
  • There is the $150,000 down payment required of season-ticket holders for 30 years of seats — which doesn’t include ticket prices
  • Suites will range from $100,000 to $500,000 per year. That lease will include tickets to Cowboys games, but not third-party events
  • On October 20, 2008, Cowboys owner Jones and New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner announced a joint business venture called Legends Hospitality Management LLC which would operate the concessions and merchandising sales at the new Cowboys stadium and at the new Yankee Stadium, along with the stadiums of the Yankees’ minor league affiliates
  • Former Pizza Hut President Michael Rawlings will run the company from its new headquarters in Newark, New Jersey. The company was also backed by Wall Street investment firm Goldman Sachs and Dallas private equity firm CIC Partners LP
  • According to the Cowboys, the 20-inch pizzas at the new stadium will cost $60. There will be five different types of pizza available for that price.
  • Fortunately, beer will still be sold for only $5

    • Jones’ Cowboys and Steibrenner’s Yankees might be the only people not named CitiBank, JP Morgan, Bank of America, AIG, Lehman Brothers or General Motors who can have their corporate homes subsidized by taxpayers to the tune of over a billion dollars. The socialism in America certainly exists for billionaires. I wonder if the Mexican maintenance workers in the new Cowboys Stadium have health insurance? They prA’li don’t. This is why I’m fuxing with the Jets hardbody this season. At least they have the goods sense to share a building with some other teams.

    SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

    The 2009 NFL season has kicked off in glorious fashion. My Cowboys are undefeated as well as my cousin’s Green Bay Packers squad. There were a couple of Wk 1 games that were decided in the final two minutes. None were more dramatic than the Patriots win over their division rivals the Buffalo Bills.

    I’m excited for everyone that signed up for the DP.com Football pool this year. I can’t remember if this is our third annual or fourth annual pool but I am thankful for all the new and the familiar poolers that are throwing in their picks. It isn’t just a pair of sneakers that you will be winning from me but the honor of being the king of the hill and bragging rights until we run the NCAA Final 4 tourney pool.

    Let’s take a quick look at the leader board…

    titansfan78 – 13
    Ryan Grant’s cuzzo – 11
    Jesse – 11
    Flacco’s Mighty Unibrow – 10
    cocotaso – 10
    Angela Propertalks – 10
    9 poolers tied with 9
    12 poolers tied with 8

    These results will change slightly by tomorrow night after the Monday night games are factored in. My word of advice to ALL the poolers is to stay locked in to the games because even if you miss a week or two you can still win this tournament.

    Golf >>> Gheyer Than Tennis…

    Butching it up for the win…

    As the spiritual first day of the great American gayme of football kicks off I thought we could have a debate about which of the two teh gheyest sports was the most… Teh Ghey.

    Is it tennis, where men wear little tiny tennis shorts [ll]?

    Or golf, where men hit a little white ball into a hole with their sticks?

    In tennis you can be a champion without even being the best player left in the tournament. If the best player in the world has a bad afternoon and gets sent home early in the tournament then who knows who the hell will win the trophy? My guess is that it will prA’li be NADAL or FEDERER. Tennis tournaments are all about seeding. If your draw is filled with highly ranked bums or players to which your game holds an advantage you will advance. Not so much in golf.

    In golf you have to beat the entire field of competitors. Rankings don’t determine who wins these tournaments, only which player uses the least amount of strokes to get his balls in the holes [ll]. That is the gheyest description of a sport in the history of ghey sports. Gheyer even than a wide receiver throwing a ball to a tight end. I mean, how often does that happen? Golf is totally gheyer than tennis also because you can still play golf well when you are old. Tennis, not so much.

    Golf is especially gheyer than tennis because of the women’s game. Sure tennis had BILLIE JEAN KING and MARTINA NAVRITILOVA but isn’t every woman that plays golf a lesbian? If not then why do they all dress like one? I have nothing against teh gheys in whatever sport they play because all professional sports are teh ghey. Can you imagine what the Davis Cup locker rooms must look like? I will bet you that they are gheyer than a baseball dugout.

    You are not ready…

    NIKE has begun to unveil the latest design for the LeBRON JAMES signature basketball shoes. These joints are FIYAHVERKS. I haven’t liked a LeBreezy shoe up to this point because they all seemed too chunky and bootlike. I just didn’t care for their profile. Don’t act like you were fuxing with them either despite the fact that LeBRON has the best NIKE commercials evar. Better than the JORDAN Mars spots even.

    The LeBRON VII(7) has evolved into a very nice shoe. I’m excited that NIKE chose to retain some of the features that were part of the scrapped design of the VI(6). The patined leather is one of LeBRON’s favorite treatments from back in his Air Jordan collecting days. I’m a big fan of the total Air Max platform. NIKE has figured a way to create an Air max footbed strong enough to support the rigors of a professional athlete while exposing the entire length of the foot. This is the future.

    As if the Air Max platform for these shoes wasn’t enough of an evolutionary leap we see that the upper is constructed with the new Flywire carbon fiber technology. It was already impossible to keep LeBRON on the ground. With these new Flywire Air Max shoes on it looks like LeBRON JAMES will pwn the upper atmosphere. Up, up and away.

    DP.COM MANNY WATCH…

    Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

    The Yankees are one of America’s richest sports franchises because they can constantly market the nostalgia of baseball to their fans and followers. DEREK JETER’s pursuit of the all-time Yankees hit record has bolstered ticket sales into the billion dollar boondoggle in the Bronx. Last year they Yankees were selling off the old furniture. This year they are selling you a ticket to watch his story. I’m not buying it. Neither should you.

    Not to be outdone, the Mets are selling commemorative bricks to their new monumental tombstone. Ironically, these guys hit the wall sometime in May.
