There's a 5-star hotel in San Antonio?

[ohmwrecker]

There's a 5-star hotel in San Antonio?

La Quinta, baby!

[Spursmania]

There's a 5-star hotel in San Antonio?


:lol I really don't think there is one. lol...

[Buddy Holly]

Maybe they meant it figuratively. I don't know, it's what WOAI said, I know SA has two four star hotels so maybe one of them.

[timvp]

Oprah isn't on WOAI is it . . . . .

[Kori Ellis]

:lol I really don't there is. lol...

I think that there probably is. I'm not sure.

Maybe...
Hotel Valencia
The Watermark Hotel and Spa
The Westin La Cantera Resort
JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort

I don't know if they are five-star but they are up there.

[Buddy Holly]

Oprah isn't on WOAI is it . . . . .

Oh snap... bringing back the classics. :lol

No... however...

Charles Oakley told me that David C said it so take it for what it's worth. :toast

[DesignatedT]

the new hyatt downtown? or maybe that new marriott out 281.

[Spursmania]

I think that there probably is. I'm not sure.

Maybe...
Hotel Valencia
The Watermark Hotel and Spa
The Westin La Cantera Resort
JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort

I don't know if they are five-star but they are up there.

Nahhh. Watermark and Valencia are definitely 4 stars at best. Westin and Marriott are not 5 stars either. But who cares, I'm sure they are set up in the presidential suites and are being well taken care of living the life.:downspin:

[DesignatedT]

It's gotta be the new Marriott.

[baseline bum]

splitter is just here to eat some mi tierra

I hope not. He'd hop back on the plane dying laughing about San Antonio after eating at that piece of shit.

[bigdog]

Cool, now, sign a contract and let the Spurs have a little money left to sign another guy.

[ElNono]

these are all 5 star hotels in SA:

Marriott Rivercenter
The Westin La Cantera Resort
The Westin Riverwalk
Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort & Spa

[dbestpro]

[BOHOLANO#21]

google said jw marriott and watermark hotel as the 5 star hotels in san antone.

[Russ]

It's not the first time he's been in SA to do a press conf for the Spurs.

Let's hope this one is more meaningful. :flag:

[Blackjack]

Weird. I didn't see any reporters on ESPN hanging out in San Antonio or reporting his arrival, check-in, bowel movement or room service bill . . .

Nonetheless, I think Taigo may taking his talents to the Riverwalk.

[bigdog]

The way players are being over paid this summer the Spurs might as well give Tiago the full MLE. I doubt there is anyone the Spurs can sign for the 1.5 or 2 million left on the table by Tiago.

Hell Petro got a 3 years 10 million dollar contract, every player left is going to demand more than that.

Yeah, I know, but I can dream, right? :lol
The deals that guys like Petro, Warrick, and Amir Johnson have gotten have blown my mind. You'd think teams want to save money and not blow it on cheap players.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

I hope not. He'd hop back on the plane dying laughing about San Antonio after eating at that piece of shit.

:lol :rollin

[Kori Ellis]

That place has to be 5 star. It's really nice.

We went to lunch there yesterday. That's the first time I have been there - very nice.

[mookie2001]

dont be so secretive about it you dont want people to think yall are hurtin

[Cant_Be_Faded]

you guys are so fucking gay

[SenorSpur]

Seeing as how they're cutting the guy's honeymoon short, the Spurs should at least offer up the following for Tiago and his new bride:

http://www.chamagaucha.com/

http://www.yardleysspa.com/

If Clippers owner, Donald Sterling were running the Spurs, he would probably offer up dinner and rubdown at Manu's house.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great news. So we'll probably get a press conference on Monday.

In July 19th he starts practicing with Brazil NT

:lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt:....:lobt2:?

[ploto]

The St. Anthony used to be considered the nicest in town.

[Drachen]

My wife is a travel agent and she said the the Valencia and the Emily Morgan are both 4 diamond hotels, and that a lot of 4 diamond hotels are also 5 star hotels. She also said that the Valencia has a suite that would most certainly be accommodating of a superstar level person. Sooooo, anyone want to go out to the V-bar?

[Agloco]

Maybe they meant it figuratively. I don't know, it's what WOAI said, I know SA has two four star hotels so maybe one of them.

I thought the Hyatt Hill Country Resort was a 5 star. What about Westin La Cantera?

[mabrignani]

I did not know that Splitter and Scola played ball together at TAU

[ElNono]

I did not know that Splitter and Scola played ball together at TAU

They're good friends, and Splitter always said he learned a lot from Luis.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

A friend of mind just posted on her facebook account that Tiago Splitter is having dinner at Sogno restaurant on the Riverwalk.

[mookie2001]

ohh too late

[Juanobili]

good to hear :)

[Buddy Holly]

Isn't Sogno at the Pearl?

[ElNono]

Isn't Sogno at the Pearl?

Il Sogno is...

[Drachen]

If it is, the pearl is on the riverwalk, so it would still be accurate.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Isn't Sogno at the Pearl?

Yeah she said Pearl Brewery. Its the new museum reach part of the Rivewalk. She didnt want to bother him but I told her to congratulate him on his marriage. Then sneak in and get a pic.

[Buddy Holly]

I like the museum reach segment of the riverwalk over the old segment so I'm happy he's exploring that area.

[rayray2k8]

Send this guy to sea world. :lol

[Solid D]

Hopefully, Splitter didn't head over to Pizza Hut and camp-out smoking cigarettes.

http://pedlopler.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/paspalj.jpg

[bigdog]

They should've taken him to Fiesta Texas on 4th of July, then locked him in Pop's wine cellar so he would be drunk enough to sign the cheapest contract possible.

[Danny.Zhu]

Yes!

Scola's son is named Tiago.

[Trill Clinton]

[jimo2305]

eeeeeehhhhholleeyyy...

Watermark and the Marriott Hill Country resort are both 5 stars. Not sure about the Grand Hyatt but I think it might be. Other two definetly are though. Seriously. They dont even hire mexicans to clean there. Thats how high class it is.

[lotr1trekkie]

Aside from price what is the difference between a 4 and 5 STAR hotel?

[E-RockWill]

They give you a reach-around @ a 5 star.....:wow

[Das Texan]

I bet the Spurs enjoy seeing him make an ass of himself.

[Samr]

Knicks wine and dine LeBron on Broadway; Spurs put Splitter in a hotel on the Riverwalk and stuff him with Mexican food....

Eh, close enough.

THAT is the Alamo?!

Here is some more (possible) proof Splitter has decided to join the Spurs. He took the "21" out of his Twitter name. His old Twitter address doesn't work any more. It's just "tiagosplitter" now.

Is Splitter's english pretty good? Can't recall seeing him ever speak it.

Also, has he every said anything about playing alongside Tim Duncan or anything?

Don Harris reported on Channel 4 Sports Sunday that Tiago was looking at houses with his new bride in SA today and was seen on the Riverwalk tonight.

He is talking with Antonio Daniels right now, awesome!!!

[Blackjack]

Yeah, and apparently Jefferson will be coming into town tomorrow and possibly have his deal signed by Tuesday.

So Splitter, RJ and Bonner are all but locked up. It's only a formality at this point.

[mytespurs]

I'm excited about Splitter-the other two-bleh!

[DPG21920]

Yeah RJ!

[ThePop]

THAT is the Alamo?!

Meh, the Alamo isn't very impressive for foreigners.

[Spursmania]

Bonner puts a damper on things. I never wanted to see him in a Spurs uniform again.:(

[DPG21920]

From what someone told me, RJ has a 4 year contract, with the 4th year not/partially guaranteed. Can someone confirm if this is what was reported.

It is like the are punishing Timmy by forcing him to carry Bonner/RJ.

[ElNono]

Yeah, and apparently Jefferson will be coming into town tomorrow and possibly have his deal signed by Tuesday.

Is RJ cutting short his vacations in Aruba with Luke Walton? :lol

[Drachen]

THAT is the Alamo?!

Actually you only see the Alamo Chapel. It used to be an entire fortress but it slowly went into ruin and was torn down. I believe Clara Driscoll is responsible for saving what is left. Now that small building is the preeminent symbol of Texas Freedom.
