Was just about to post THG's breakdown after I finished watching it. TLDW: NHL BOG will force Coyotes to sell to NHL (which I believe they have authority to do but I didn't know it took this form - maybe the rules changed after the Balsillie bullshit) who would then sell to SLC. Sounds like NHL would include an agreement to permit to Coyotes to be recreated in 5 years if they can figure their shit out - so a bit of a potential Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens scenario. There are hints that the NHL is looking to expand to 36 so this isn't completely inconceivable. So Arizona (again), Houston, Cleveland and 'Frisco?? Spitballing, obv. Houston and Atlanta seem to be in. After that, there's some interesting names. Obviously, Canadians are screaming for Quebec City but Bettman sees almost no value in another Canadian team* - not remotely helped by the comments earlier in the year by the owner of the Jets saying he feels Winnipeg is too small to sustain the franchise long-term and QC is smaller. Other destinations discussed: Cincinnatti/Cleveland, KC, Omaha. My instinct is they want one of the Ohio options to slot them into the Metro but plenty of options to work with... *To be a little fair to Bettman, aside from guaranteed gate receipts, viewership cannot logistically get higher in Canada so they cannot fetch more TV revenue so why invest here when maybe there's a corner of the US you can get more eyeballs

A two-time loser?? Guessing it's the Deep South thing. And eyeballs.

Oh, and now there might be a war with Iran because the idiot Israel decided to attack an Iranian embassy. The worst part is that we're now getting dragged into it.

Trump has now tried 11 times to stop the trial and he has failed. It'll happen. He also says he will take the stand. I doubt it. But let him. He always look like a fucking idiot when he does. He confuse the fact that there are a bunch of slobbering morons who loves him and that the greedy fucktwit politicians and religious leaders are all behind him, but not the rest of us.
Normal people find him loathsome and cringy.
He might not end in jail, but he'll lose. And he can scream it is all fake all he wants. We know he's guilty and watching him lose his shit might just be the only thing we get out of this.
He will always be a twice impeached turd and a criminally corrupt loser. Worshiped by some of the biggest morons in this nation. That is his legacy.

Clay Higgins is such a nauseating dumb ass. Back when the constitution was written EVERYONE were immigrants. Illegal and otherwise. In fact some of the permanent residents in this nation were the very brown people the idiot right attack today.

The Genocidal Israel want a war with Iran. And they want us to bare the brunt. I hope we don't fall for that BS. Israel started this war and they can finish it. And we should give them a single fucking cent to do so. Sink of swim fascists.
