Oh, Sod off

am I the only one who thinks the same term for sodomizing and turfing your lawn is a funny coincidink ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWQs3O_IDas&feature=youtu.be :evil: Love the game, hate the league! That should be the fans motto through this whole dispute. At least my league starts on Saturday. I pay almost $800 in order to play the game I love. :evil: 800 bucks holy crap, is that the going rate ...

Well sure it's a nice theory.... The leaves cough up 60 of the 80 mill they made this year and that goes too the bottom 10 teams, which moves them out of the danger zone. Nice theory, but basically zero chance of any business in any industry doing something like that. yes it is a nice theory and I ...

Hmm. That sounds suspiciously like the WWE, or Dana White`s UFC. And, I haven`t seen or heard of the Anti-collusion police stepping in there. We had two leagues once too. I believe Edmonton and Winterpeg came from that league. What ever it was called.... Except as we all know wrestlers are entertai...

No. I described 30 business owners incorporating into one giant business. It is a not so subtle distinction between keeping 30 different businesses. The NHL as an entity exists because the Owners decided it exists. It has legal powers, and a commissioner. It can make contracts with other Hockey Lea...

The players aren't being asked to take less because Phoenix is losing money, they are being asked to take less because most teams are losing money and the cumulative league earnings are not very good. It seems the players are being asked to take less on average (per player via cap space/ roll backs...

Personal note. I don't see why there is a CBA at all. If I was the owners, I'd simply turn the NHL into a giant corporation, with 30 shares owned by 30 different people, and dividends paid according to performance. Since it is one company, there is no collusion, and the company makes it's own fucki...

But isn't the $81 million annualy income compared with the investment that was made ? (approx $1.3 billion ) and is the $81 million operating income for MLSE rather than the leaves...just asking No. The investment was in MLSE i.e. the leaves, Raptors, Toronto FC, and numerous other properties. In t...

Add to that how much the ACC (200-something Million) and surrounding real estate MLSE holds... The leaves franchise might be worth $500M, but the Raptors are $300+M, and Toronto FC is one of the richer MLS clubs. Never considered that, I wonder how much the real estate holding have risen in dwon to...

I'm missing some thing here... I'm no Investor's group guy, but the figures quoted below says to me that the Ontario Teachers made a shit load of money on the sale and would have been fools not to take the deal, Rogers on the other hand must be expecting to make an absolute killing to fork out 1.32...

Hey lucky for you the NHL has been quite vocal that revenue sharing is on the table! The players are welcome to run their own league. That option has always been available to them. Problem is the economics just aren't attractive with how much they want to pay themselves. They are also welcome to go...

is the only player to captain two different professional teams to championships. [3] His playoff leadership while in New York, which ended a 54-year Stanley Cup drought in 1994, earned him the nickname "The Messiah"." Ya. Stars shine brighter in New York. All the wiki stats you posted speaks to Mes...
