Maher produces an HBO follow-up to his regular show called <i>Vice</i> which is a <i>Frontline</i> type of investigative show. These people are our true journalists today. At least they are if you want to know "the other side of the story."<br /><br />Stadiums become emotional and when people let emotions rule, they make some ridiculous choices. I've voted against every stadium proposal made. I love all our teams but the trade offs do not make sense to me. Let these millionaires-turned billionaires pay for their own stadiums. nnoreply@blogger.com
