I admit I've been to baseball games where the crowd was quite a bit more inebriated than in basketball arenas. I wonder if it's the closed nature of the facility, a feeling of being more closely watched? Reunion (in Dallas) is very heavily "secured"- it's neat becuase the same security people are always in the same sections so you get to know them.

There are probably drunks in the operahouse too. Only so many people fall asleep anyway, who can tell?

I understand what brees is saying about believing something so strongly that one feels a personal violation of one's core to act opposite the belief. But I gotta tell you, refusing to stand for my country's (and Abdul-rauf's country, no matter what he did to his name)national anthem seems misguided to me. He was after all making two and a half million dollars a season in this wonderful place.

I worked with a woman in Social Services whose teenage son was suddenly and violently reborn as a Christian and she was very concerned about him-
he would pray at stoplights that the light would turn from red to green and when it did he would cry,
"PRAISE GOD! Thank you, Jesus!"
Newly converted people can get pretty swept away--- maybe that was Raul-abdul's reason?
