OT - Lebron James

Back on topic, there is a new Lebron T-shirt out...

"You may be headed South, but your mom is riding West!"

I tried to find an image, but can't get one solo. If you Google the phrase you can see it. Pretty damn funny.

1/5 of the league does indeed account for 1/3 of the revenue. Hard fact, kiddo.

Not doubting you Dup, but can you provide a link?

Anyhow, I have some vaginal bleeding to attend to. Agree to disagree.

Any chance you wrote this article?

Sorry, I had to do it considering your post, this thread, and the fact that I can just be an asshole from time to time.

I never argued that. In your response you claimed that I didn't think that Winnipeg deserved a second chance. That is completely false. I was pointing out that for all of your insults you don't read my posts. You assume I am taking a contrary opinion and typing up your retorts that don't deal with what I type. At all.

Discussing this with you is like argueing with a petulant child. Let me lay it out there as simply as I can:

I don't think the Coyotes should stay in Phoenix.

I would like them to move to the northern US or Canada (I would prefer the next team moved to be in Canada)

Your above quote is 100% accurate but it is not a valid arguement for that move.

Montreal and Toronto's financial surplus does not, by itsself, qualify Winnipeg for an NHL franchise.

That's it.

Cause I'm blogging the hell out of her, that's why.

You were inspired by Eloco and wrote that didn't you? DIDN'T YOU!?!?!

 

[elocomotive]

Blog her.... I barely know her.

Funny stuff, IPW. I totally agree you are an ass. Maybe you're avatar is close, but not quite right. How about...

 

[IPostedWhat]

That's pretty close, but I did say an asshole.

that would have been an awfully dangerous Google Image Search.

Sure:

NHL fans in Canada pay up - thestar.com
CBC News - Montreal - 31% of NHL ticket revenue from Canadian teams

Simply the first two I found when I did an "NHL revenue Canadian teams" google search.

And don't let slim tell you that revenue wouldn't increase with a half a million + going through the gate in Winnipeg every year. The "ratio" may indeed drop a little since Winnipeg isn't exactly a cash cow like Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver, but, it still won't be 1/5 of the Canadian teams bringing in 1/5 of the revenue. It's not like people in Winnipeg have a short, little drive to watch an NHL game anywhere else, and, let's face it, a Canadian team merely breaking even is a HUGE positive swing compared to some of the annual red figures coming out of franchises where the only ice to be found outside the rink is in drink glasses.

Funny, I don't remember saying that...

 

[Dupster]

Yes, I know, you're all about the falling ratio, which would STILL dwarf the American counterparts.

 

[Slimpikins]

I know I was way off base with all of those sunbelt markets that I was supporting. Oh wait... And I never said that Winnipeg would do poorly. You sure like to put words in my mouth.

It doesn't seem to matter how many times I repeat that I would like to see more hockey in Canada (in fact I would like to see a team in Quebec if they can sustain one.) You would rather just pointlessly argue with me.

So, I give up. You win. I hated Canada every associated with it but you have thoroughly beaten me in our sophisticated debate and have shown me the error of my ways.

 

[Dupster]

I know, you fully support my support for Winnipeg getting another franchise, it's just that you can't support my reasoning for it. All good, I have trouble teaching rocks to do anything, too.

Good thing you got to me when you did. I was about to spear head a campaign to bring Vancouver to Flagstaff and call it the "Make it Two in Arizona" movement.

I think Bettman would have gone for it.
