Home After a Great Weekend

Covelli Centre Staff

I spent most of the weekend in the abandoned Youngstown, Ohio. Youngstown is typical of many of the cities I have been to in Ohio, and that is to say it is a total dump. I have no problem with Cleveland, Cleveland feels like Buffalo, but outside of that the state is in hideous disarray. Toledo is the worst city I have ever been to in the entire United States of America, and I have been to Detroit. Anyway, right now we are talking complaining about Youngstown so here is my list of complaints compiled in only a short 36-hour stay:

• When we arrived at the hotel, my Mom (always very anxious on these trips) suggested that we all make our way downtown to find some dinner before the game. This was out of the question. There is not a single light lit in the city of Youngstown on a Saturday night. 
• Why is it the Covelli Centre and not the Covelli Center? Canada is 195 miles away. Centre?
• The Covelli Centre is obnoxiously loud. The music is obnoxious. The in-house production was obnoxious and minor-league. 
• After the game, we were visiting with my brother. It was a large group so everyone was fighting for a few minutes with Anthony. There were many families attempting to visit with their loved one and apparently spent too long doing it for the Covelli CentRE staff. The swarmed the area in their piss yellow jackets and screamed and hollered for everyone to get out and to get out now. I seen one annoyed guard smack a little baby across the face with his walkey-talky. These yellow coats proved to be the scum of a city filled with scum and disparity. Go to hell Covelli CentRe.

The next episode of The Sports-Casters is all booked and ready to go. Dave Dameshek will make his second appearance on the show to yap about sports and attempt to calm a neurotic Shek Republic.
