Poorly written article and some details missing.

But sounds like there's a closed-door meeting between COG and Coyotes scheduled for Tuesday 1pm.

However, in a prepared statement, Mayor Jerry Weiers shed some light on the discussion.
“An opportunity for the two of us to discuss the issues has presented itself, and I am optimistic that with continued dialogue we can come to an agreement that satisfies both parties,†stated the release.

Wiers is awesome.

He wanted them at the table to renegotiate, and now he has them.

No 15 million dollar subsidy, no concession or namings rights revenue, no revenue from other events...unsuitable arena for at least the next 3-4 years....yeah good luck playing in Phoenix.

Not exactly the most intelligent argument Olbermann's ever put together.

Seemed pretty sound to me.

 

[blues10]

Yikes a $250 000 bond. A little rich for Leblanc. No? Perhaps he can draw from the NHL LOC or ask Barroway to post it.

I do feel for Coyotes fans and have in fact traveled to several games in Glendale and had a fantastic time. Treated by Coyotes ticket reps and fans in a 1st class fashion.

If anger should be directed from either side of this clusterclownshow it should squarely be at the direction the BOG has instructed L'ill Gary to take.

Keith Olbermann rips the nurse from North Phoenix to shreds

Although she may have been quite misguided in her comments, that's pretty mean to mock her on national tv. She's just a fan after all.

It's not really.

 

[metalfoot]

Wow. This is a heck of a ride. And 2 more weeks! This is just amazing. Where are the cupcakes?

Keith Olbermann rips the nurse from North Phoenix to shreds

Oh dear lord, she's a nurse? I blame Obamacare...

But in all seriousness, the Olbermann piece should highlight something for Coyotes fans. As much as you want to think that everyone is going to side with the Coyotes and the NHL in this, the reality is that only the apologists and true believers are going to. Everyone else is going to see things the way Olbermann sees it, and that is going to seriously harm professional hockey in the US for the foreseeable future...

What's our new title going to be? I suggest something like: Big TROuble in Little Glendale.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Interesting that The Coyotes are headed to the Negotiation table.

Methinks the Coyotes may have been backed off a bit by their lawyers.

That had to have already be a title.

We're gunna run out of titles at this rate.

That may end up beng the perception but that doesn't mean that the way they see it is accurate either.

I had always assumed that the whole point of breaking the lease was to write a new one which didn't TOTALLY hose Glendale. Just mostly. The council can live with mostly.

Meh.

Stanton on in a moment.

 

[blues10]

Perhaps IA will hire her in the Coyotes medical/training staff dept. IA has proven if nothing that they are loyal to friends of the Coyotes.

Edit: did Leblanc buy his house in Glendale?

Yeah, IF they renegotiate the City can go to the anti-yotes residents and go SEE we totally got a better deal, and they can go to the pro-yotes residents and go SEE we totally support hockey!

That's my guess at the outcome of this.

The council will back down enough to not get fleeced but still be paying far more than they should.

 

[mmajeski06]

It's not really.

Maybe if the purpose of the meeting was to debate whether the Coyotes have a passionate fan base. But it wasn't. It was a vote on an issue that affects the tax payers and residents of Glendale, which the good Nurse is not.

 

[danishh]

this isnt just a one-time thing too.

Rhonda Pearson was the spokeswoman for Coyotes PAC Glendale First PAC (AKA BeavisPAC). That organization lobbied the previous council and the public to get this deal approved in the first place.

So far every member of BeavisPAC that has made their identity known publicly does not reside in Glendale. Most appear to live in a Cave (creek).

 

[Glacial]

Yeah. I picked up on all that immediately. Its like someone taped everything he said at the time, transcribed word for word into the applications, complaints.

So maybe Leblanc is the one calling the shots on this course, not the NHL and its lawyers? We're gonna need a whole lot more then. I look forward to the litigious, Perry Mason-esque genius of Leblanc .

 

[rt]

I found the Nurse's arguments to be pretty pointless. Olberman, though, is paid to make coherent points and he completley failed to do so. That's more embarassing. I wouldn't blame Olberman for being a terrible nurse any more than I blame Rhonda for being a poor orator. But his segment was unfunny, unclear, and painfully delivered. Maybe he should look into nursing school. He's obviously not well suited for his current profession. Speaking of suits, a man dressed as a cartoon version of a 1970s used car salesman is in no position to be judging anyone else for their apparel choices.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Well considering that Glendale's taxpayer money doesn't all come from Glendale residents and the issue doesn't simply just affect Glendale residents, those fans that pay tax money in Glendale AND part of Glendale's money comes from the state, they have every right to voice their opinion. They may not be the top priority but their opinions are meaningless or they are getting a free ride. That's just not smart.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

I don't want to comment on the Olbermann piece without watching it, but to accuse the CoG of not supporting the Coyotes is pure insanity and factually wrong.

It doesn't matter what your background is.

This meeting will determine just how much the city of Glendale will stand up to the NHL.

Wasn't he hanging around Scottsdale?
