On the issue of Jennings' maturity, I think he's a little more humble than when he first got into the league.

I'd say he's only gotten older.

He may have marginally learned to keep some thoughts to himself, but its really hard to discern.

On this subject, being a devil's advocate could get you into some deep doo-doo......make that cow doo-doo.

 

[DocHolliday]

To play devil's advocate... Sac Intl is out in nowhere land. There are a lot of fields, and there are a good amount of farmers in that area who DO have cows. Perhaps he just caught a downwind?

I have no doubt that's what happened, especially on a warm evening. We can however, still give him **** for it.

Having spent alot of time in San Diego and then going back to Sac, I have noticed a smell at the airport.

I went to college in New Orleans, and came back to Sac only at xmas and in the summer....never smelled anything, and I was gone for months at a time living in a place where the air was thick as soup. I would have noticed it.

 

[RyanWiggum]

I live in Elk Grove and I experience the cow smell from time to time. Maybe he somehow landed in Elk Grove

I have also never seen a cow directly in my line of sight at Sac, but I am aware of the cow farms directly east of the airport. There are farms slightly east of 99. If you have never smelled a cow around there, then it is obvious you just go to the airport and back to wherever.

The farms "east of 99" are further south, down between Elk Grove and Galt (unless you mean the ubiquitous dairies in the south Sac/Laguna area ). I should know, I drive that stretch every day to work. A bloodhound couldn't smell the cows from there at the airport. To the north are homes in the Natomas area and agricultural fields, but no cows to speak of.

And no, there are no cows "directly east of the airport" - that area also is agricultural, but without animals. Do a google search for Sacramento, CA, click on the map (first item listed), pan/zoom to the northwest as needed, and do a Street View on Powerline Road just next to the airport. Not a cow to be seen, and no fences to keep cows in if they were there on occasion, which they are not. Do the same along Elkhorn or Elverta. Again, no cows.

And, since the prodominant wind direction is from the west with our Delta Breezes, cows to the east wouldn't affect the airport anyways. But west of the airport is the Sutter Bypass, an agricultural flood zone without animals either. So I don't know where you think there are cows near the airport, but there really are not.

Agreed.

I've been out to the airport plenty of times, day and night, driven on 99 in Natomas. No cows or any other livestock to be seen.

And again, having your airport that far out of the city is what you want. That was actually very good planning by the city. Speaking of which, after the billion dollar expansion is done we are going to have one of the nicest airports in the country. Plus the new business park going up near the airport (which will bring more hotels and other services) is going to serve it very well.

In my experience a lot of stuff about Sacramento is purely made up. I suspect jennings was going tweet that regardless of what he smelled (which he didn't) when he landed.

There are farm smells sometimes, although not usually cows. You can smell things like the stagnant water in the rice fields, silage, burning, herbicide/insecticide/fertilizer spraying, etc. The smell can actually waft in from Sutter and Yolo counties, too. (Silage is the worst, OMG! )

 

[kennadog]

Okay...according to USDA stats. California has about 6,846,000 beef and dairy cattle, while Wisconsin has only 4,657,000. However, California has about 0.19 cows per person (or two-tenths of a cow for each of us), while Wisconsin has about 0.82 cows per person. As a matter of fact, Wisconsin only has about 1 million fewer cows than people.

Oh yeah....and Callifornia dairy cows produce more milk per cow than Wisconsin cows. Proving that California cows are indeed happier than Wisconsin cows.

 

[Gliesian]

I doubt that Jennings smelled cows. Its possible that he smelled fertilizer.
Sacramento's cow stigma originated from the horrific smell on I-5, as the LA folk come up north they bring their stories back with them... I forget if it was Kobe or Shaq who started the whole cow thing.

Aside from the smell that is waaaay south from here, Sacramento is kind of the league's little brother who you can beat up on because he is smaller than you. I don't think Jennings was being malicious but trying to be cool at our expense, like everyone who calls us the Queens lol.

 

[hrdboild]

It's just trash talk, and it's directed at Tyreke more than it's directed at any of us. And I know what Reke's going to do, laugh it off and then demolish him on the court. When you're that good, you don't need to run your mouth off.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Wisconsin has a little over 8 cows per person. As a matter of fact, Wisconsin only has about 1 million fewer cows than people.

Something is funny with those two stats.

FWIW, chalk me up as another who has never smelled cows in Sacramento proper. Trips to Carmel as a child however, those would drive me nuts with the cow smells on the ride out there.

You're right. I must have been asleep. I'll correct it. Thanks.

Edit: Should've been .82 cows per Wisconsin resident.

I gotta say whenever I'm coming towards Sacramento from the west, like highway 20, and I start to decent into the valley, it smells like rotten garbage. This is usually worse in the summer of course. And it doesn't smell like cows, it smells like garbage. And it isn't so much Sacramento it's the valley.

Yeah, that's ag related. It's much worse in the ag areas, but it can drift into the edges of Sacramento at times, especially in the summer.

 

[EvilEye]

Scott the Human Billboard needs to give Branon the Phil Jackson treatment and bring the cow costume out of retirement.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Am I the only one who finds it funny that this is even a debate? I know lot of people who live their whole lives in Sacramento wihhout ever seeing a cow.

Now go outside the city towards the county's outer limits and yea you'll see some livestock. Espescially in the south towards East Elk grove and the Jackson Sloughhouse area or west in the Franklin-hood area. But the closest cattle to the airport are probably 20 min north going towards Yuba/Marysville

That would be funny if the Kings about to win or Tyreke owns him, have a cow costume run around.

Awesome idea...

You know, speaking as someone who's spent my whole life in California and lived a bit in all of the three major cities (6 years in the Bay Area, 12 years in Sacramento, 9 years in LA) I would choose NorCal over SoCal 10 times out of 10. The perception that Sacramento is just a cow town is ignorance. It's the same kind of ignorance that sets people from one hood against people from another. All you have to do is take a small step outside of your hometown to realize it's not true. And there's no reason for any region to feel ashamed about being an agriculture producer instead of an urban blight. Agriculture is a major part of why California can afford to build freeways and urban areas at all. We all need to eat.

I bet Jennings would have said the same thing about Milwaukee if he were playing for a big market team in a metropolitan area. Wisonsin has the cheese heads after all. I mean don't our two states have some kind of cheese rivalry going on anyway? That whole "good cheese comes from happy cows" business. It's just trash-talk. That's all it is. No need to get personally offended. Sacramento is a great city. I'm proud to be from Sacramento. There's no need for anybody to have an inferiority complex about it.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

While I mostly agree hrdboild, I don't think Sacramento gets excused from being an urban blight. And that's why the whole cow town business is silly, because in about 40 states Sacramento would be the biggest city by far.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Hey Brandon, welcome to Sacramento...that wasn't a cow you smelled, it was a brahma bull breathing down your neck named Tyreke Evans, look out...wooooooo!!

 

[hrdboild]

Good point. I suppose if you live in LA long enough you start to lose perspective on that kind of thing. I've seen a lot of open land in Sacramento get converted into houses and strip malls in just the last 15 years or so and for the most part it hasn't been an improvement. Maybe in another 15 years "cow town" won't be considered an insult anymore. Oh, who am I kidding -- make that 150 years.

 

[VF21]

I'm starting to hate him 'cause I practically always hate attention whores.

Exactly.

It's actually more than a little pathetic. Guys like Evans can let their games do their talking; posers like Jennings have to post inflamatory comments to try and rile up the local fan base.

He can puff and pontificate all he likes but deep in his heart of hearts, he knows the truth. Tyreke Evans is and will be a force to be reckoned with in the NBA for a long time. Brandon Jennings, on the other hand, will most likely end up like so many before him - on the outside looking in and blaming everyone but themselves for the failure.

Take your 15 minutes now, Jennings, because once it's gone, you're not gonna get much press flipping those burgers and asking it people want their orders supersized.

14 years growing up in LA area, 2 years in Bay Area and almost 42 years in the Sacramento region, I agree. NorCal for me all the way.

Every city on the planet has good points and bad points. The idea that calling Sacramento a "cow town" or making comments about smelling cows is, IMHO, a pretty clear indication of a shallow mind. Brandon Jennings pretty much proves my point.

Oh, ouch. Jennings. You smell cows? Oh, wow. That's gonna leave a mark. Just wait until recess, you weeny!

 

[Bricklayer]

Twitter has just been a fundamentally disastrous invention for the idiots of the world. Used to be you could be stupid and nobody but your immediate family and friedns would know. Now you have a device to broadcast your dumbness worldwide. Its evil.

 

[Merdiesel]

Yeah it's called fresh air. A lot different from that smog ridden Southern California air. I love how this little scrub Jennings knocks our air quality when he comes from the most disgusting city in the the US. Good one bro.

 

[kennadog]

Guess we need to revise the old quote....."Better to not tweet and have people think you're stupid, than tweet and prove to the world you are."

Rice and Meth labs. No cows.
