Sodboy13 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 If they relocate to downtown or the East Valley, it could work. I'm all for it, as long as they do it with their own money. Let Glendale serve as a cautionary tale for the rest of the state - in a lot of respects.Also, if they get a downtown arena, and go back to being the Phoenix Coyotes, it'll be a hoot. As will the Glendale City Council meetings.

FiddySicks Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Honestly, after living there for awhile, it really feels like the Coyotes have sufficiently salted the Phoenix earth. I can't see them really ever finding much support no matter where they are in the valley. They've already done too much damage.

TheOldRoman Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 If they want to tag along with the Suns on their eventual new arena, that's fine. Otherwise, get the hell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Yeah, I'd be fine with a Suns/Coyotes/ASU triple play, but such an arrangement where they'd undoubtedly be the tertiary tenant is not going to get the Coyotes the ancillary event revenue they need to stay afloat, so it'd just be more treading water and hoping they'll one day challenge the Sharks for World's Largest Rec League or whatever it is they jerk off over out there.

Still MIGHTY Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I don't think there's any three-way going. I think it's either Suns/Yotes OR ASU/Yotes.And any pairing with ASU basketball/hockey wouldn't make the Yotes "undoubtedly" the lesser. If it's an ASU-built/funded arena, maybe that's different, but neither program has tha kind of caché. I guess it would overall be analogous to the Canes and NC State, but ASU isn't even a NC State when it comes to basketball, so maybe not as similar.

The_Admiral Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- The NHL's coach and executive compensation policy will be eliminated Jan. 1, Commissioner Gary Bettman said Tuesday following the completion of the Board of Governors meeting. The policy was put into effect Jan. 1 of this year to offer draft pick compensation for coaches and executives who were under contract but left to work for another organization. Commissioner Bettman said the League will go back to the old policy, which does not require draft pick compensation for coaches and executives leaving the organization while under contract for a job with another organization. "Bill Daly, the deputy commissioner, gave a lengthy report of what there was, what the protocol that I put into effect roughly 10 years ago was to the reaction and change we made this year, and I decided to, as of Jan. 1, to go back to the old rule, which was there is no compensation," Commissioner Bettman said. "You either give permission to negotiate, and if the two parties actually make a deal the executive is free to go. But there is no compensation. If you don't want to give permission to somebody who is under contract, whether or not they're employed but they are still being paid and under contract, [that] is the club's decision. I asked if there was any discussion or comment before I announced that that was the decision I was going to make, and there was none. So overwhelmingly, I think people, having heard the presentation and seeing the experience over the past year, decided what we had that worked well for 10 years roughly was probably the best way to go." Go cry about it, Kenny Holland. I hope this means Columbus gets their draft pick back from Vancouver for hiring John Tortorella away from, I dunno, sitting on a couch in Bellingham muttering about Larry Brooks or whatever. They're suffering enough just by having him. Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 http://broward.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?publish_id=126&embed=1 Broward County is having its meeting. They haven't gotten to the Panthers yet, so they're still going over ethics stuff. This is awesome. They're arguing about accepting free food at school board meetings and stuff. This is like Glendale: The Deli. "What do I do when Mrs. Lederberg offers me a brownie? Am I supposed to turn down food that people put in front of me? And then people start blogging about it!" oy gevalt! EDIT: "when I was sitting shiva for my husband, people left food at my doorstep. You went through it when your mother passed away. But now no one can take credit for it because of this." She's Jewish-mother-guilt-tripping the board of commissioners into letting them eat catered food at meetings! 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Peak South Florida, for sure. Peak Rest Of Florida would involve guns, alligators, and someone wandering in off the street to sit on the dais and not having anyone notice until two hours in. Oh, also there was a part later on where one of the commissioners said that when Mrs. Lederberg brings brownies, the right thing to do is put a couple coins in the jar so she can pay for more brownie mix. This caused an audible din of disapproval among the other commissioners, for Mrs. Lederberg bakes her brownies from scratch. I wish we had been able to liveblog this bunch instead of wasting our time with those clods out in the desert. Panthers got their money, by the way.

The_Admiral Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Revenue sharing, which the Jets had to pay into for a while, will cover any shortcomings at the gate. The Jets won't fail no matter how much the enlightened segment of the hockey internet may want them to.

I didn't see the injury, but if they really did sign a waiver saying the ice would be in good condition, then she might have a case. They probably only sued for insurance purposes anyway. All I know for sure is that this lawsuit would probably destroy those women's leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
