If there is one thing about the top North American leagues now a days is that you rarely see teams failing financially (NHL's southern expansion not fully included). The financial parity does make it more interesting or at least in theory it does. I am not sure I want to see us copy the European insane levels of debt…

I think the idea of a 48 game outlaw league could be really interesting. Either that or a rapid expansion of the AHL and see where that goes. I think the biggest question for the NHL is when you look at the market value there is value in going into new territory, but there is a lot of value in a place like QC which…

I know the NHL and WHA's marriage was a rough to say the least, but (and this is really my opinion) I am not entirely convinced that the Canadiens would have a ton of reason to worry about a potential QC team. It is basically the same amount of distance between QC and Montreal as it is from Ottawa and Montreal. I…

The Canadiens are not denying QC's ability to have a team. They have their own market on lock down and coexisted with the Nordiques for a long time in terms of market. Montreal is not QC and QC is not Montreal. Beyond that the habs have a massive fan base that spans all of Canada (watch a Vancouver game when Montreal…

Cider and Whiskey. You have me sold. Next time I am out in that area I will have to check it out! Thank you for the recommendation!

I don't think they do spotted cow on tap anymore. You might be able to get it in a bottle there but i am not sure. The guy who owns coopers really hates the stuff if I remember right and had his arm twisted to carry it at one point. I spent a lot of college there. Its really awesome.

I haven't heard of the Masons (but I just moved back to Madison for a bit). I'll have to check it out.. although I have a wheat allergy so I don't drink beer anymore. Still always up for finding cool places.

Thanks UW Madison PD! Really making me feel better about my decision to put my diploma in a box and pretend like it doesn't exist.

Whelp I am done with the internet for the day.

As mentioned by other people she has a a bit of history with her now husband (who has a his own history) when it comes to domestic violence. She also has a bit of a history of failing drug tests. She is a mess, but US Soccer is all about winning because it in theory absolves a person of all sins (up to that moment).

I think you are right about QC. They never had trouble selling out the arena when the Nordiques got moved. It had more to do with the strength of the Canadian dollar and the guy who bought the team rather than ticket sales. Considering how much of the revenue the 7 Canadian teams now provide the league it certainly…

I laughed a lot harder than I should have.
