DustDevil61 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) I hope Bettman has finally learned that just because a city is a place to have a 2nd home or a timeshare does not mean its a viable city for an NHL franchise.That seems to be the most "logical" "reason" why the league has fought tooth-and-nail to keep the Coyotes in Phoenix.Glendale mayor just went on the radio. He's willing to keep the Coyotes in Glendale, "but not on the backs of the taxpayers" and he also thinks it'll take a miracle to keep them in Glendale. He's also not going to entertain the current lease deal with anyone beyond tonight, he flat out said it was a bad deal. Says the team needs to support itself, not the city.I like this guy.I do, too. Nothing wrong with wanting to keep the team around so long as Glendale's taxpayers aren't the ones throwing money into a financial black hole. However, if no one wants to buy the team and take on the associated financial liabilities themselves, then it's time for Glendale to let go.

IceCap Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 There's a legitimate realignment discussion for the NHL, though... so this meme does not apply...Yeah, but it probably shouldn't overrun the discussion.

Funky Bunky Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I can't wait for Quebec City to join the Pacific Division.I feel like this would be the only way we'd see a minor re-alignment. That Quebec and Winnipeg would swap divisions no questions asked to atleast make it a little more reasonable.If you're going to realign, might as well do it properly.

dfwabel Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 In all fairness, Michelson (an ASU alum) shot a 60 today in Scottsdale and lipped out on 18 in the process. He should have gone 59, if not lower. There have only been five rounds of 59 in PGA Tour history. We've all known for months the cash was not there.

The_Admiral Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'm watching Jets @ Panthers. There is virtually no one sitting in the lower bowl on the bench side between the blue lines, a/k/a the best seats in the house. I did some research and apparently it's become something called "Club Red," where you buy access to a brand-new super-swanky mega-suite for one-percenters, where you can hang out and be rich or go to the seats and watch the game. Which, clearly, no one does. So to the average viewer who isn't conversant with the ever-monetizing ways of Michael Yormark, it looks like no one can be bothered to go to Panthers games. What a way to run a railroad.I mean, the hell is this? Don't they realize it looks really bad?
