“After 30 painful weeks of waiting, the NFL season is back. Once again, America gets three things it can count on: Sunday night football (pastors, avoid long sermons), Monday-morning quarterbacking, and politicians pretending to be experts in stadium economics. Chicago, Kansas City, and Buffalo offer three variations on the same old scam. Corporate fat cats who own professional sports teams demand multibillion-dollar facilities. With good friends in high places, the rich are conspiring to force the taxpayers to pick up the tab.” (09/01/26)
