There's no way that Bally will let a team play on its land and brand itself after a Caesars property.

The Samuelis would have to be cut a nice check though as the Ducks have essentially assumed it being part of their territorial rights.

Vegas wins the Cup, which means that the Coyotes are finally done.

Long suffering Knight fans rejoice, your ceaseless nightmare is finally over.

Correction: 11 years. But they were split between KCAL and FSN for a while. I'm not saying that the Kings can't find a home. I'm saying that the channels that will take them aren't really in a position to be cutting a big check for it since two of them are dumping grounds for the Peoples' Court and odd-hour newscasts and the third has been bouncing between ownerships with its own failed Sinclair deal in the middle.

The Kings didn't have a choice. Faust is good and has been getting a lot of national notice as he called playoff games for Turner and is also calling Apple TV MLB games this year. The problem for the Kings is that they don't have a TV deal for next year, their long-time TV home is in bankruptcy, and there really aren't that many other options for them to turn to so instead of forcing Faust to wait out the TV situation getting settled in order to find out how much would be on his checks they let him go now out of fairness to him. The only decent option they have would be to get onto one of the Spectrum channels but there they'd be second fiddle to the Lakers or the Dodgers and would potentially have to buy their airtime. Other than that, the only real options are the B-tier broadcast stations: KTLA 5 (CW), KCAL 9 (CBS, syndication/news), or KCOP 13 (FOX Plus, syndication/news). They've aired the occasional one-off game on KCOP but that network for all intents and purposes is dead and has been since it stopped airing new episodes of Enterprise. KTLA showed a handful of Clipper games this year and KCAL hasn't had sports in more than fifteen years but were the Kings' home in the 80s and early 90s before Disney acquired the station and switched to the Mighty Ducks.

Lee is running for Senate so take the campaign fodder for what it is.

LIV: the Michael Scott Paper Company™ of golf.

Fox remains the color guy and will join Nick Nickson, who's been doing the radio call since 1981 for both TV and radio. Evans is transitioning to a yet-to-be-defined on-air personality role, hopefully playing the role of Mean Gene with his eclectic tuxedo collection.

The Kings reunite with trading buddies Philly and C-Bus.

Another Bally/Diamond casualty:

Bettman must have dealt with a rude waiter in a French restaurant once which has turned his entire life’s mission to exerting revenge on the Francophone community. He got a free dessert in Montreal once which has given them a pass.

They might as well skip a step and design the logo already falling apart.

Suspension is set at 9 months.

Member has been suspended for trolling, altering their username and profile to that of a known pedophile, and refusing to comply with the moderator team's demand to remove/request removal of profile changes. The total length will be announced when all votes are cast.

Falling on your sword for the Coyotes is not the honorable act you think it is.

They’re approaching stalker ex level.

Also not to be lost is that the PA is now lead by former Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh, who actually met with the Coyotes as one of his first actions. I would easily see this as his first crusade.

“We look forward to working with the property owner” So, the Coyotes are doing a groveling crawl into the Mesa City Hall to beg to build an arena on land that the city doesn’t even own.

“Re-engaging” Translation: they’re showing up at city halls in Mesa, Scottsdale, Goodyear, and Surprise with gift baskets.

Even Brodie’s weighing in.
