He’s little. No NFL guy wants to be known as little. Poor guy.

Re: General Sports TALK
Looks like the Wild are a... well... oiled machine
Connor McDavid 97 hockey phenom got to meet Kirill Kaprizov 97 Calder winner and savior of St. Paul.
Also, some serious injuries recently
Thankfully this was a concussion.
https://www.49ers.com/news/49ers-trento ... ury-update
This just happened and no update. Prayers up but I'm not doctor and won't pretend to know what happened. However their team reporter has tweeted he is awake and talking at the hospital while he undergoes tests. He did not move and seemed to be unconscious leaving the arena.
And of course our own was hurt. Let us pray for soothing ice to help him in this time.

Re: General Sports TALK
I should have prefaced my comment.
I actually don’t think he’s little. He’s an NFL QB and can totally beat my ass into the ground.
I just say that because he’s so darned sensitive about it that it’s annoying. Maybe he was small when he was growing up. I don’t know, but his thing over being called small is so silly.

Re: General Sports TALK
Arizona Coyotes face Dec. 20 lockout from Gila River Arena over unpaid taxes, fees, sources say
What is most interesting, is the owner has the money.... He's choosing not to pay.
https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/328 ... eport-saysThe Coyotes have until 5 p.m. local time on Dec. 20 to settle their outstanding totals or the City of Glendale will deny Arizona's personnel and vendors access to the venue.
This is the latest chapter in the Coyotes' arena saga. In August, Arizona was told the City of Glendale was opting out of its lease agreement with the team at the end of this NHL season. Negotiations between the sides had been ongoing on a potential extension but nothing was finalized and either side had the option to exit the deal.

Re: General Sports TALK
There’s always more to the story when government is involved. Glendale may have a legitimate concern about the team’s use of the arena, which I’m pretty sure started all of this, but you can never tell until a real investigative job is done to tell the truth.Spirit of the Watch wrote:Arizona Coyotes face Dec. 20 lockout from Gila River Arena over unpaid taxes, fees, sources sayhttps://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/328 ... eport-saysThe Coyotes have until 5 p.m. local time on Dec. 20 to settle their outstanding totals or the City of Glendale will deny Arizona's personnel and vendors access to the venue.

The team claims it was a regretful error on their part and it won’t happen again. They may have been turning the screws on Glendale until they got bad publicity and probably a devaluation over it. The appearance of problems is a bigger cost than $1.3M.
We shall see…

Re: General Sports TALK
There is the risk of the team relocating to Houston, TX. Although, I don't know. Ice Hockey in the south is give and take. If Arizona has fans, just put the team in Tempe, Arizona like they want.Robotaz wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 10:20 amThere’s always more to the story when government is involved.

Although, this team is apparently poorly run and in the past has refused to pay vendors more than a percentage of what they were owed and even had paychecks bounce or paid out late. Not to mention their never-ending problems with the IRS.
I don't agree with the airport suing them over the move to Tempe but this owner needs to get his act together or just sell the team.

Re: General Sports TALK
Urban Meyer gets the axe after his uh antics. Personally I did not see it happening this way (you know a 50 year old partying and not being able to handle a single loss, being a pathetic leader, and denying any personal accountability while dismantling the train).
Here is a recap of whatever Urban Meyers legacy in Jax is
https://www.tampabay.com/sports/bucs/20 ... g-warmups/
I'm not defending Meyer but I will say certain parts of what Lambo said (mostly the Jax legal counsel refusing to speak with him) seems disingenuous. I suspect they might not have cared but I'm sure an overture was made. Legal types never act so careless, especially one's in such a high part of their proffesion (the Jaguars are part of a multi-billion dollar corporation, not a small business).

Re: General Sports TALK
He never struck me as a good leader and role model. Seemed like a showboat. But I thought Spurrier before him was the same, but more of a bad sport and less of a hot dog like Meyer.Spirit of the Watch wrote:Urban Meyer gets the axe after his uh antics.

The SEC does not have a sterling finish these days as far as coaches go. Look at Kiffin. Idiot.
I grew up in western KY where all the tornadoes hit and grew up a UK fan. Stoops is a pretty stand up guy. Not perfect. I’ve met him and he’s a little shifty for my personal liking, but he’s done a great job coaching for sure.
But I’m an SEC fan in general. I support them all, but am in no way a fanatic. It’s more the stuff like Meyer tarnishing the league that gets my attention. Glad to see him gone from any team, to be honest.

Re: General Sports TALK
I'm so bored without the NHL games I bought in person tickets to the Iowa Wild this week.
Yes, that Iowa Wild. As in the farm team AND I'm dragging non hockey fan coworkers with me to the game. Haha, maybe I need a life outside of sports. Then again I could be a video game addict... might be cheaper though
Also, Fire Zimmer and no they are not making the playoffs

Wow, so high ticket prices (mostly bought by fans of good teams coming to town). Then again the owner is a cheap dolt who kept jerking around with the prior arena to the point he was kicked out of town.
https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/331 ... violations
Have to play defense. Have to have a team mentality. McDavid and Draisaitl don't do that. Kane is a complete psychopath. Great addition. Truly wonderful.
