From the Athletic with a slightly different perspective...

Who's buying away game tickets if we end up facing VGK in the final?

Me. I have permission from the wife to get away tickets if we are in position to win the cup ie. a game 4 or game 6. But I’d prefer to just go to a couple of home games and watch us potentially win it in Raleigh. Nonetheless I’ll be there. Once in a lifetime opportunity.

Why do I feel like this game is a regular season game? Not a playoff game 7. Nobody is chasing pucks for Seattle. Nobody is hitting hard. Both sides are avoiding contact at the puck. 
 

And of course Dallas scores on a breakaway. Fug. I wanna see Seattle advance.

Welp, was not expecting the city to vote against the district. They basically screwed themselves out of a landfill cleanup. If the coyotes move I hear the front runners are Houston and KC. Which I believe would both be successful markets.

So Tempe chose a most likely hazardous material leaking landfill over this. 
 

It’s my understanding that the cleanup of that site was not included in the 2.1 billion wanted for the entertainment district and ownership would have fronted that cost. Could be wrong but.

Actually the entire project was going to be privately funded. They weren’t asking for any public funds, the government was going to give them a 30 year property tax break. But the revenue this district would have brought would have made that obsolete.

Theres a bunch of people on Twitter saying “oh we won, down with billionaires, no public funds”. They do realize the entire thing was privately funded by those billionaires to bring a poo ton of tax revenue to your area, right?

Dallas is getting drilled right now.

That is A not a game misconduct and B not a cross check. It’s obvious the NHL wants a Florida Vegas series. Somebody needs to dig some dirt up on bettmen cause I think his time is past.

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
