OMMF Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 FFS, get over it winnipeg.Don't worry, Bring Back the Jets stories only come out on a quarterly basis at this point, so it's not going to happen all too often.That said, I do believe that there's a wrong that needs to be righted here, and you'll pardon me if I speak to it when opportunities to do so arise.Amarillo's CHL team being sold on eBay is an opportunity to discuss why Winnipeg should still have an NHL team? I hope no one posts anymore about CBA/AFL2/UHL teams folding/moving, otherwise, we'll never hear the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone told me I could buy the Coyotes for $695,000, but I couldn't sell them or move them for 5 years, I would politely decline (assuming I even had that kind of money).The Coyotes lose astronomical amounts of money. So in a way, they are only worth that amount, or even less, IMO. A joke with a little bit of truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many things wrong with this I don't know where to start.I made a simple joke about how the Coyotes aren't worth much. Learn how to take a freakin' joke."a poster with a clear and repeated agenda to isolate Phoenix,and Phoenix only" - Please substantiate this. Show me the clear and repeated postings of my "Phoenix bashings." At the risk of making you look like an idiot and a liar, go ahead and look through my posting history and find all these posts about Phoenix. Maybe you are somehow offended by my Jets-themed signature or my links to the Return of the Jets website. although I have no idea why you would be. But let's stick to the facts:In nearly 3 years of posting, this is the FIRST time I've mentioned only the Coyotes in a thread, and only the SECOND time I've mentioned the Coyotes at all.On the other hand, you seem to pop up in every discussion about Winnipeg as a city and also the possibilities of the NHL's return there. I only noticed as I was looking through the old threads that I was posting in.Examples: Winnipeg Arena 1955-2004Penguins moving?Moose 3rd jerseysTrading placesSpiderman 3These are FIVE different threads where you've posted negatively about Winnipeg. Some of them are COMPLETELY out of context. It's amazing what a search engine can show you. I've lost any respect I may have had for you.I think the person with the agenda is you. I'm hoping this ends this discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the other 4 threads, 3 of those were about either Winnipeg or teams that might be moving to Winnipeg. Hardly the agitator you make me out to be. And in the other one, Winnipeg was brought up before I even made a post. If you call asking legitimate attendance questions to be negatively attacking your town, then I may suggest you re-evaluate your standards for negative. Or you can look to the first two threads and see where I complimented Winnipeg on it's support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojetsgo Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Exactly. So, OMMF, apparently it's OK for you to make accusations about me having it out for Phoenix, but it's not OK for similar accusations to be made about you.Maybe next time you'll think twice before accusing me or others of hijacking threads to push their "agendas."The fact is, you went off the handle because I made a crack about Phoenix and made blatant lies about me. I do not appreciate that. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bids. I guess there's not a lot of people out there buying million-dollar sports franchises on ebay.
