They did: ref had intent to blow (the whistle).

Posted Tuesday November 17, 2009, About: NHL: Coyotes need new lease

Try this:
Phoenix goes to Salt Lake City, Nashville goes to Las Vegas, Florida to Kansas City, and Atlanta to Seattle.

15 years down the road, we will be talking about the re-settlement of these teams again.

Posted Tuesday November 17, 2009, About: Bettman: No worries with Lightning ownership

Bettman was also noted to say, 'No problems at all. We will just buy them when they fall apart, just like Phoenix.'

Sorry, Detroit Pussycats already hold that distinction. Browns are just a close 2nd.

Posted Friday November 13, 2009, About: DiPietro responds to critics

he is set for life. why push it. the islanders were silly enough to make that kind of offer & now they will have to live with it until DiP retires, which will take the entire contract as he will injure himself every other season it seems.

Ok, so when Madden (or Herbstreit or any of the football announcers) say, 'I don't get why the coach called that short yardage play on a 4th & 20. That makes no sense' or 'The referee blew that call' it's ok.
When the NASCAR announce team does the same, it bad.
Got it.

Posted Wednesday November 04, 2009, About: Oregon wants Blount reinstated

after that joke of a Florida punishment, he should be reinstated.

Posted Friday October 30, 2009, About: NHL shuns stunned Gretzky

It's Bankruptcy court attained assets, they take the assets but they do not have to take the debts that they don't want.
The original owner is being absolved of the debt & asset. Contracts are a debt, not an asset. The NHL is under no obligation to pick up his contract... they are just stupid to not pick it up under some other pretense.

Posted Thursday October 29, 2009, About: Canadian economy favoring expansion?

I think I will die laughing at Bettman if Phx ends up in Canada anyway...

Posted Wednesday October 28, 2009, About: Andretti defends NASCAR's decision

easy solution: don't finish under Caution.
Throw the Yellow, pace the laps, then have a 2 lap shootout.

Hell, want to be safer?
Just pull anyone not on the lead lap & have them finish where they were under Yellow.

lol

Posted Tuesday October 27, 2009, About: Why NHL didn't suspend Flyers captain

I watched the replay a few times & Booth had his head down & Richards is not a small guy. He skated through him & I did not see him jump on any of the super-slow-mo done on NHL TV.

Posted Saturday October 10, 2009, About: NASCAR to slow down Talladega speeds

sounds like it is. they keep up with the whole 'single file' restrictor racing, they are going to see more drop in viewership.

Posted Thursday October 01, 2009, About: NHL openers may be blacked-out

which is what Bettman wants anyway.

Posted Friday September 18, 2009, About: Native American group pressuring Redskins

many college teams have already had to go down that road.

while I can understand it to a point, I think in the case of specific tribe names (Seminoles, Hurons, Chippewa, etc) it is up to the individual tribal chiefs to support or request the change.

Posted Thursday September 17, 2009, About: Did Wolverine throw punch at Irish?

once the video was out there, Rich Rod needed to step up & make a statement. Instead he would rather make a mockery of the Michigan tradition of setting a higher standard.

I hope the Wolverines bring someone in with integrity before this guy makes UofM into a team with 'swagger' (man I hate that term).

Posted Thursday September 17, 2009, About: Why Coyotes likely to stay in Phoenix

I work with a bunch of hockey fans in Phoenix & they all say they would hit more games if it was not for the commute to games.

Posted Friday September 11, 2009, About: Judge may reject all Coyotes bids

Holy Frijoles, the Bankruptcy Judge gets it.
"Sorry NHL, this team failed because you over expanded where marketing & sales did not exist. So save you from yourselves, I consider this Franchise as a total loss & order them to close it's doors. That will be all."
