"How awesome is Bryan Rust?"

-First 6 questions

That will be Yohe’s question lol

How beneficial would bringing additional owners into the fold be in alleviating these concerns? If they added say Mario and another minority ower or two?

Mario/Burkle retained a minority ownership share after they sold to FSG. In turn, FSG will retain a share moving forward.

 

[BusinessGoose]

"how excited are you to own a team with such great hardworking coalminers that grant embody the spirit of Pittsburgh and create the foundation for the future like bryan rust?"

 

[HandshakeLine]

I hate every owner I see, from Nutting, B. To FSG.

Even if the new group is terrible, you do not have to give it to the giant hedge fund who insisted on keeping Mike Sullivan.

Can’t trust Marios judgement after the Burke/Hextall fiasco though. Although i have to wonder how much of a player the new owners are when they brag about acquiring “Atlanta Party Rentals”.

They probably still brag about owning CDs and REITs lmao

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

yeah I mean even Mario who’s a classy guy and not like Tyler Kennedy or Jay Caulfield levels of CTE/dumb jock is still a jock who isn’t smart or good enough at management to not just participate in the boys club

Like no shit Tulsky is a good GM. Forget his background and the fact he’s actually smart, 90% of his competition is ex-hockey players

Same with Zito.

Also the moment Mario is back in the mix.. Ron Francis special advisor.

Thank Jebus Marc Bergevin is already employed.

I liked that Mario always pushed them to win. No way he lets Jake get traded for scrap.

At the same time the Hextall hire reeks of old boys club crap I hate.

Probably Tie Domi will be invited into the mix too

 

[deakka]

I hope someone asks some relevant questions.

Will they allow to spend them cap?

Will they let Dubas keep building? Or will they force him to make more "good now" moves and hope for some playoffs revenue and crap on the future?

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I hope someone asks some relevant questions.

Bless you. The plebes will only look to curry favor.

I need to quit my job, become a reporter and get some damn access!

But yeah. Will probably be vanilla shit questions

He deferred way too long on Byslma/Shero too. Heads should have rolled after 2012.

 

[Deport Ogie]

There will be at least 3 questions on how much they love Pittsburgh. Yohe will ask when the Rust statue will be erected. Madden, in between gasps of breath, will ask if Malkin's body odor is as bad as he had heard and mention that Trocheck smells like fresh cinnamon buns. Starkey will ask if they plan to go to a Steelers game.

“Where do the slaws and fries go”

Hoffmans:”In da sammich!”

I think Shero got too attached to Byslma which ended in both their downfalls.

Madden will ask the lone hard question and will deliver it so rambling and poorly that it’ll get shot down in two seconds

 

[ThosePuckingPenguins]

Well they’re already more personable and face friendly than FSG if that counts for anything. Though the whole “this is a family thing” concerns me because that can go one of two ways.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Why does every phot of Dubas look like he’s telling someone else’s kids to eat their vegetables?
