Troll hard, son, troll hard.

Not that it's unexpected or anything, but Glendale approved another 30-day lease extension with the league today.

When it comes to the Coyotes, if deadline extensions were fans, this team would have a season ticket waiting list.

Pics or it doesn't count.

He's gonna have until August 2013 to get the scratch together.

Now that's insulting to the sock puppet and hooker! Jamison's mystery partners DISCOVERED SUCKERS I feel like I've waited 9 years for a Sifl & Olly reference to drop on these boards. This completes me. Nominatin'.

I feel like IceCap's version in Comic Sans really captures the spirit of the thing.

So what you're saying is, we need the mother of all haboobs to hit Glendale, and have the Coyotes hang a shingle at Sprint Center for a season.

And, as is the tradition, the fans of Kansas City will manage to make the fans of Phoenix look spectacular by comparison. I pity any team that would actually move there. Not turning up to a meaningless preseason game between two teams who have no historical basis in the city ≠ not turning up if there was a team based in the city, playing full on competetive hockey The counter-argument is that if a market won't show up to exhibitions which are being staged as trial balloons to gauge fan interest, why plunk down a couple hundred million dollars on the hope they actually will show once there's a hometown team? Averaging 5,500 a game for top-tier minors 12 years ago is not a suitable exhibit to prove current major-league market interest, either.

Except that there's debate as to how many signatures they needed, and the actual deadline, according to how the laws are laid out regarding this sort of thing. So it's all probably going to the courts. Again. Though, if the opposition can't even muster up the support of 1,500 voters for an anti-tax referendum deep in the heart of Teabaggerland, 'em. Let the whole city destroy itself in the most cataclysmic endgame possible while 12,000 a night look on.

This whole thread, and the two preceding it, comprise one long piece of OITGDNHL performance art.

Folding a team during CBA negotiations with the players' union is a great way to ensure we won't be watching NHL hockey for a long, long time.

Well, one more year of this has been inevitable ever since Bettman trotted out Greg Jamison as the latest stooge owner during the playoffs. But if the voters reject the tax hike, and they vote in a new council that cuts off the public funding pipeline, then one more year is all they get.

So, uh, hey, Goldwater got their asses handed to them today. Guess that means it's up to the voters of Glendale now. Otherwise, we've got a lot more of these annual threads to look forward to, instead of just one more.

If it's anything like Cheeseburger in Paradise in Downers Grove, it has really good burgers and great drinks. Is that merely sustenance for the proletariat? There are dozens of places throughout the city and suburbs where one can get a really good burger and a really good drink without being subjected to the Coral Reefer aesthetic. We are not in an area short on great meat. Jimmy Buffett concerts strike me as a place where the uptight pretend to be laid-back. I think of his restaurants and home beverage systems as an extension of that lifestyle.

Absurdist municipal sports mismanagement crossover! This is truly a chocolate-meets-peanut-butter moment.

Hardly. Say hello to your Glendale Diablos! 41 more arena dates filled, just like that.

Those league-owned Devils rumors are bubbling up again.

Wowsers.

Does that make the Jobberdome Section 8 housing?

Goldwater filed suit this morning. Bettman sends Gary Jamison an Edible Arrangement shaped like Shane Doan as a thank-you for clowning it up and guaranteeing another season of house hockey.

Once again, the entire thrust of the argument for keeping the Coyotes appears to be, "Yes, this is a horrible plan, but SPORTS!"

Nope, the Jobber uses Aramark, so this officially makes less than no sense.

2004-2011 Never Forget *head asplode* As for teamdepot.com, the site looks legit. Looks like they specialize in old stock and discontinued styles - so if you buy an Edge replica, it will probably have the old "Rbk" tagging.
