Hmmm. This is not good. I've got a bet with a good friend that Landin will be a beast this year, not eat like one. Oh well. I have faith in the guy until he proves me wrong. (Please, please, please don;t prove me wrong. I'll never hear the end of it…

Chunky but Funky...I like that. Maybe we could make a chant out of it.

The problem is of course that the land is privately owned as is the land at the Galleria area location. The City owns the land at the East End location. I just cannot see a private developer getting involved in a project such as a stadium without…

Come see Craig finish what he started

Nigel,
You were renting a car to get to Long Beach/Carson, correct? Do you know what route you were planning on taking? I was trying to get dropped off in Westwood about a mile from 405. Didn't know if this would possibly be on your route.

Thanks for helping us move towards the stadium & letting people know Gene Locke will get it done, just like he did for Toyota Center, Minute Maid Park & Reliant Stadium. GO ORANGE!

Hey Nigel, just wanted to drop by and say thanks for posting on the mayoral candidate chat. I missed the first two and will try to be available for the third. You articulated everything beyond great and am disappointed that you didn't get a response about the bias in the one survey. Thanks again.

Nigel good to hear. That is a great lens. At the evening matches shoot it wide open. That will give you nice shallow DoF and faster shutter speeds. Also get as close as you can to the action.

Nigel I'm using a Nikkor 300 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8. Your 70-300 at 4.5-5.6 is a little slow and I think you would see an improvement with the Canon 70-200.

Canon make some good gear so I would stick with them.

I'm thinking that just maybe we can see Geoff in the Center Defensive Mid spot. I think he has the athleticism, endurance and can provide great support for the defense which we have an abundance of. I think Cochrane/Robinson and Boswell will be more…
