Phoenix LXXI: Daydream Belever

[aj8000]

I seem to remember Winnipeg having the lowest ticket prices in the league and poor attendance before they left too.... Jets fans should be thankful they got their team back and get off their high horse. The Coyotes have a group of hardcore fans that will be just as upset as Winnipeg fans were if their team leaves. There's no need to act superior.

Exactly.

It's interesting that none of this may have happened if the CoG just gave Moyes what he asked for in the first place. IIRC at the time Beasley said something to the the effect of no way, no day, would the city ever give a subsidy.

In your opinion, had giving Moyes the $12M per year been a solution, or because of Moyes' claimed incompetence, he would have just delayed this and would be claiming BK now?

I think it would have kicked the can down the road. Part of the problem is the market, but part of the problem really was Moyes.

So it goes on to Chapter 72. This topic has had more threads than many tv shows have episodes. Heck, it probably has more pages than the entire Lord of the Rings epic put together. Only a bush league and a bunch of clowns (and a commissioner who doesn't realize he's a clown simply because he doesn't have any makeup or funny shoes) could produce a mess like that. Other leagues have a sense of dignity to avoid something like this from happening.

All that's been missing so far is Ice Edge and Bettman all getting out from inside a clown car.
