What a fucking shocker.

Uh, Calgary is in Western Canada, not the heartland of hockey fandom, like Glendale Arizona is...

Do not underestimate how petty Bettman and the other owners can be.  

Great work? Eric Francis sounds like he’s on the Flames payroll these days with his one-sided editorials.

Well your incredulousness aside, the “Videotron Centre” is absolutely a real arena that a real company bought the naming rights to.

Yea man, surely if you just pump all your city’s money into a giant stadium, and then rent it nearly free to a billionaire, that math will surely grant your city tons of cash and sweet concerts. You’ll be fighting back groupies with a hockey stick you bought at the team store for $299.99!

I said, ‘Well…what if the end result of this is that the Flames have to move?’ And he said to me, ‘Then they’ll have to move.’

Nothing like napalming your bridges with a city’s political leadership to help you achieve your goals. Bettman’s less popular than Trump in Canada. If he thinks this approach is going to get the results he wants, he’s delusional.

Things are so difficult in Canada. In the U.S., all the NHL would need to say is “Nenshi is a Muslim!” (which he is) and he’d be automatically disqualified from holding office because, you know, America…

A friend of my brother’s worked (works?) in Manhattan real estate, and I remember a decade or so ago we were hanging out, and he was complaining about his week—his company was negotiating with Trump’s.

But the best part of this is that ‘ratings’ are the key to his argument with anyone! The most important thing is to be popular.

also, remember that Black athletes should be grateful for being millionaires. They didn’t apparently earn it, they were given it, and therefore should be thankful to the white owners.

“The NFL cannot disrespect our country,” Trump said, before taking a deep breath and continuing.

Here are two things I’ve learned in the last month:

Megyn: ‘Talk to me in shallow terms about your looks’

+1 nothing gets chocolate out.

A simulation of the exact moment when an Ennn Beee See execubot realized that he/she fucked up huge with MK.

I assume at the SI editorial meeting Goodell wasn’t on their original choice but they added him just so Peter King would shut the fuck up.

He’s from Minnesota. Hot sauce for them is ketchup and black pepper.

the head-first t shirt people are the same weirdos as the sit down wipers, right?
