Is this John Spano part 2?

I read the other day that ESPN is doing a "30 for 30" on John Spano and the Isles. That could be very interesting.

Absolutely. I'll certainly watch it.

As things get worked out in Glendale it will be interesting to see whether or not the NHL learned anything from the Spano mess.

If they include the entire state of Arizona in the fanbase the can finally come up with 16,000 fans. Now the trick will be getting them all to show up at the same game...

How about 5 million more people to ignore the Coyotes?

Something always seemed to be missing at Westgate City Center, Glendale’s signature entertainment and shopping district: critical mass.

The crowds from nearby sports venues and a movie theater were sporadic, not reliable enough to fill Westgate’s restaurants, bars and concert events on a regular basis.

That could all change Thursday, when Tanger Outlets Westgate opens nearly 85 stores. The mall will be a critical third anchor, along with Jobing.com Arena and University of Phoenix Stadium, for the Westgate complex. Up to 5 million shoppers will go to Tanger each year, according to the mall owner’s projections.

Nice work by the lame duck city council to sign this deal three days before the new Glendale council takes over.

Would it fair to assume that the Phoenix organization is the biggest winner this year? It's hard to lose money when you don't have to pay for anything.

Prospective Coyotes Owner Greg Jamison recently made a "novel but failed attempt to find investors through the Immigrant Investor Program of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services," according to David Shoalts of the GLOBE & MAIL. Sources said that Jamison "tried to raise at least some of the $170-million (all currency U.S.) purchase price by using what is also known as the EB-5 program." EB-5 is the "official name of the visa, a conditional green card, granted by the U.S. government to wealthy immigrants in exchange for an investment of at least $1-million in an American business." Jamison on Thursday said that he "took a look at the program, which essentially trades green cards for cash, but said it will not be part of his financing package in the purchase of the team from the NHL."
