911, what is your emergency?

Help, please! Someone's broken into my house!

I'm sorry ma'am. Glendale PD doesn't have any first responders left. I tell you what, for your inconvenience, I'm going to mail you a pair of Coyotes tickets. Have a nice day!

*click*

Maybe they can send goons

Well, it looks like one of Glendale's cornerstone issues will be addressed, as reports floating around tonight say the team will change its name to "Arizona Coyotes".

Pat yourselves on your backs, Glendale City Council. All it took was $400 million in taxpayer money, but you finally got the team to name itself after the state instead of the major city that gave your hilljack exurb such an inferiority complex, it had to leverage its future on questionable real estate developments at the apex of the bubble in a foolhardy attempt to overcompensate. Bravo!

No, that picture is inaccurate. If the Coyotes were a dumpster fire, the dumpster would have melted long ago.

I'm sorry, I still can't believe they don't know who they're giving the money to. They asked him to say. He said no. Right there on public record in front of everyone. And then they went through with it! This is insanity! I know it's nothing new, but just think about it!

A few favorites of the people who showed up to defend the Coyotes, most of them professionally clad in Coyotes sweaters:

- one creepy guy read what sounded like Jamison's wikipedia article, then said "this is a top-notch guy! He deserves this!" Yes, for competently operating the Mavericks thirty years ago. FOAD

- the girl who appeared in the CoyotesPAC youtube video said she made thirty friends by working to save the Coyotes.

- an erstwhile car dealer said "you can't worry about the money. That's what I told my salesmen. Work with people, and the money will come in. I quit to become a poker player."

- a large black woman said she wanted to grow up to be Joyce Clark.

It sounds like I'm making these up. Especially that last one. But I know other people watched it. Come on. Back me up on this.

I don't know if the city council video has been archived, but I highly recommend watching it if you missed it the other night. It's like eggbeating your brain.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

All of this happened. Except I had to look up FOAD. Because I am dumb.

Sound the alarms! Ryan Lambert writes a thoughtful article without blatant trolling. Unfortunately, it looks like that George Fallar creep sent his goon squad to downvote trolling/spamming comments past the visibility threshold, comments such as

I'm actually really impressed with this article. I'm a hockey fan, and economics is not an interest, but I understood this article and was interested in it.

Bond rating dropped again.

sonu munshi ‏@smunshi

Moody's downgrades #Glendale's general obligation bond rating; cites payments to NHL for operating losses of the Phoenix Coyotes.

38m Anthony Winter ‏@ppd7952

@smunshi how about calling the payments what they are? The arena management fee. Gawddamn you're stupid.

that guy's profile:

I defend my right to bear arms and my hockey team in the desert. Put that together however you like...

Arizona is seriously the worst place.

On the plus side,

I was walking home from class today and saw a booth they had set up selling Coyotes season ticket packages (lol). I stopped to check it out, not because of the absolute absurdity of a team trying to sell season ticket packages for a locked out league on campus, but because there was a guy who was arguing pretty loudly with one of the salesman. The salesman brought up some point about selling tickets in hope that the league will still have games, and the guy replied, I s**t you not, OITGDNHL.

Lost in the Coyotes craze was the fact that the Predators were sold to a criminal and passed on to a guy who's broke. Chapter 49 of the new book Only the Goddamned NHL.

Glendale's signed the lease with Invisible Moneybags Jamison and his investment group of leprechauns, even though Jamison still hasn't bought the team, nor shown he has the money to do so. This is going to be ever-so-delightful when the new regime takes over in two-and-a-half weeks and Jamison still isn't the owner.

LMAO, love the dumpster fire. If the joke of a league, I mean NHL, decides to finally pull it's head out of it's ass... I think Phoenix needs to finally be sacrificed and burnt at the stake. Why in the hell pro hockey was ever placed in Arizona is beyond my rational thinking... The team needs sold and moved to somewhere where people care i.e. Seattle or Quebec City. If Buttman misses the golf course of PHX so bad then he needs to learn how to either play golf in the rain of Washington. Or... play golf in the frozen land of Quebec.
