J.A. Adande's chat on ESPN.com

dave, dc: As a former bullets beat man do you think abe polin's legacy will be basically making his franchise the clippers of the east, firing michael jordan or building the verizon center with his money and basically saving that part of the city

SportsNation J.A. Adande: Someone has a long memory...my bullets beat days were 12 years ago! But I think Pollin's legacy should be that he built TWO arenas in the DC area, the second one in the city limits and revitalized an area into a vibrant place where once there was nothing but empty row houses. Every owner (yeah you, Clay Bennett, and all you NFL barons) who begs cities to fund their stadiums should look at what Pollin did, apologize, then shut up.
