MLB ought to administer Boras a drug test.
Because he's clearly on something.

And I used to think "Rock Cats" was dumb.

I think Major League Baseball would have something to say about that...

Not so fast, my friends:
"Can confirm that RSE has agreed in principle to lease terms with City of Glendale on an arena lease. #coyotesstay"

Ohio state "division championship" ring even though they were banned from all post season games
And this, boys and girls, is one of the reasons why the nation despises The Ohio State University.

Honestly, I'm surprised that doesn't happen more often than it does. LOLBarbera rides again.
Hard to believe that's the same Jason LaBarbera who backstopped the Hartford Wolf Pack to the Calder Cup in 2000. How the mighty have fallen.

And now for some actual news:
Darren Dreger @DarrenDregerNHL will continue to meet prospective buyers, but it's clear time is running out and relocation must be considered.
in regard to the Coyotes. Quebec City, you're on the clock!

The faux-Vegas one isn't half bad actually.
No, it's all bad.

anyone know the name of this font?

Hanley Ramirez as a Red Sock
if you don't attribute Manny to the Red Sox then who the hell do you think of
Hanley Ramirez. Former Marlins shortstop and Red Sox farmhand. Part of the deal that brought Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell to the Sox.
(BTW, pic no worky.)

Elliotte Friedman is reporting the league intends to expand to 32 teams, which would pretty much seal up all of the potential markets the Coyotes could relocate to.
He also made it sound like the situation could be Seattle/Quebec/GTA 2...in some combination of expansion and relocated Coyotes.

Is there a chance that the Big East tries to poach some MAC schools now? I love the MAC and think it would be a shame if one of the "bigger" conferences tried to nab schools from them.
At this point, if I were the Big East, I would basically try selling the Conference name to the basketball schools that just left and try to negotiate with the ACC to pick up UCONN, Cinci, and South Florida. Hopefully it would somewhat solidify the ACC incase Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Clemson, and Florida State leave. The conference would be decimated if the even just 3 of those schools left, but adding a few more schools may help influence a TV deal and help keep together the ACC.
I'm forced to agree: the BE would be better off booting the football schools and living as a basketball conference...kinda like it used to be.

ESPN reporting that Maryland Board of Regents has unamimously accepted the Big 10 invite. Many thought that Maryland would NOT unanimously accept, but rather have to rule based on the Majority.
ESPN also reports that Rutgers could vote as early as tomorrow (Tuesday, Novemeber 20) to accept the Big 10's invite as well.
I think this almost makes UConn to the ACC a fait accompli. They need someone to replace Maryland, and they'd get NYC penetration as UConn is broadcast on SNY.
This also brings about, sadly (and finally), the death of the Big East.

Looks like Goldwater isn't the only opposition anymore. All 7 city council candidates in the upcoming election are also calling for the city to hold off on approving the final lease (and all 7 of them currently oppose the deal). So if Goldwater holds this up until November or more likely until 2013 since we're passed the November ballot initiative cutoff today, then the new council would may get to vote on it, and they won't be approving the deal.
Which means we get at least one more year of this. Joy.

Keith Primeau as a Hartford Whaler:

Yeah, I don't think anyone really wanted anything more than the eight teams that were in the league before (except for maybe the Hamilton Is A World Unto Itself lunatic fringe).
*AHEM*
For one thing Hamilton used to be in the NHL. Secondly Hamilton can support an NHL better than either Winnipeg or Quebec put together.
So it would be nice if you can put away your anti-Hamilton bigotry for once and all...
*AHEM*
Two reasons why Hamilton will NEVER sniff the NHL again:
1 - The arena sucks
2 - The juggernaut up the QEW known as Maple Leaf Sports and World Domination Entertainment
The first is fixable. The second is not.

What was the hot dog's problem, anyway? Does it want to be on the burger too?
Remember when you could play BurgerTime on this site? I was pretty awesome at it.
The first time I had a fried egg on top of a burger, I realized that the chef in that game was the one with the real problem.

I agree Brooklyn is always an option, but only for the short-term. They'd need to have the arena deal in place before moving in to a facility with such a limited capacity, lest they be stuck there.
Tickets for the Islanders-Devils exhibition game went on sale today - here's the seating map on the ticket page:
I still can't believe they built an arena in New York City metro too small to accommodate every type of event that utilizes arenas. I don't just mean hockey either. Now you have fewer seats for concerts, you don't have room for motocross or monster trucks or the circus. Not that monster trucks are a big draw in New York, but why not leave open the possibility? It seems so stupidly shortsighted.
Three words: Madison. Square. Garden.
Between the Knicks, Rangers, and the other events held at MSG, there would be no open dates for another team to play. Also, I doubt the Isles would want to play on Rangers logo'd ice, and the Rangers certainly wouldn't change it. But it doesn't matter anyway, because of the first thing. Also, would the Islanders crowd (what's left of it) go into Manhattan for games?
*facepalm*
I was attempting to explain why the Barclays Center was built the way it was, not advocating for the Islanders to move to MSG. I think we all know that would never happen as long as the Dolans still run things over there.

Winnipeg returns one year, Quebec City the next. The NHL is just about back to normal.
Hartford 2014?

Yeah, but if you click on some of the alternate translations, you can also get "people occupying the Coliseum would have to order a "cleaning" in their offices." Which sounds more like the "pack your crap" I read it as.
Now that you mention it that way, yep, that's exactly what it looks like.

From twitter:
les gens occupant le Colisée auraient eu l'ordre de faire un "ménage" dans leurs locaux."The gentlemen occupying the Colisee will have to make order of the mess in their place."
I think Quebec City just evicted the Remparts
I think your translation's off. Google Translate says: "People occupying the Colisee would have to order a "household" in their premises". I think what it means is not that the Remparts are out, but that they would have to be a secondary tenant in the case an NHL team moves in (until the new arena is built).
