SPORTS SPEAK UP!

Larry Chavez for giving a copy of the new naming rights contract to the Journal after Krebs and Learfield wanted to keep it private. I also like that we got to see evidence that a $1 million payment has actually been made, not like the Wise Pies fiasco where no evidence of a final payment has been shown or any discussion of who will pay to take down all the Wise Pies advertising. UNM, your mission is to be responsible to the public and openness and truth and not to cover up. — Stevie Olson, Bernalillo

I AM SEEING disturbing similarities between UNM Athletic Director, Paul Krebs and APD Chief of Police, Gordon Eden. Both seem clueless as to their responsibilities, horrible stewards of taxpayer monies, and completely mired in inertia to move their departments forward. I believe both have overstayed their welcome, but more importantly, what do acting UNM President, Chaouki Abdallah and soon to be ex-Mayor, Richard Berry feel at this point. Hopefully the permanent UNM President and next Mayor will consider these high priority personnel issues that need to be dealt with sooner rather than later. — Bob, UNM Area

LARRY CHAVEZ, do EVERYBODY a favor and buy out Krebs$$$. — MHD

BOY, SEÑOR KREBS is one lucky man. Now after the naming of the Pit again, he has more money to misuse. He can

take another long trip for his relaxation. — Loboforever

IF KREBS WENT on a “Fund Raiser”, well how much did he raise on this trip? And why the heck did Noodles go? The only thing Noodles raised was the ticket prices. — JG

NICE ARTICLE ON the ski team. The community needed that. And it needed to lead front page sports. — Michael

REALLY, JOURNAL? In the midst of the NBA and NHL playoffs, with MLB in full swing, and we get a 3/4 front page fluff piece on the love fest between Alan Branch and his high school. An athlete who, upon graduation, couldn’t wait to take his considerable talents out of the state of NM. Worthy of coverage? Sure. Front page? No way. — Joe, ABQ

THREE ANTI-TRUMP rants last week and Randy upset with Mike’s comments. I wonder how offended Randy and the other morality sherrifs who lambast Trump were at Lyndon Johnson, John Kennedy and the worst of all Bill Clinton, who used the lovely and gracious Nurse Ratchet Hillary to cover up his philandering. Why don’t you guys do your rants on ESPN or BSNBC where nobody will notice. — Mo

HEY MP, this is New Mexico. The home teams are the Cowboys and the Broncos. (I don’t know why the Cardinals don’t get much love.) I’m a transplanted NorCal guy and through good years and bad years I’ve been a 49er fan for nearly 60 years. I don’t expect the Journal to cover them unless they are playing Dallas or Denver. If you want to read about the Steelers there’s this thing called the internet. — Donn, Placitas
