Yeah and at that point his 6 offspring will try to run the team by committee, and that's hardly a way to run a sports franchise IMO. Not sure but maybe he left one as the (brain fade can't think of the title) top dog in the group.
Is Delaware North in bigger trouble than we thought?

JJ cares more about the money side rather than the on ice product.

Fenway Sports Group buying the Bruins would be terrifying. The organizational philosophy whould shift to the Tom Werner model of producing a marketing focused TV Show that happens to play a sport.
doubtful they can anyways, same with KSG, which already owns the NFL/MLS Teams.
No legal reason why that couldn't
Keep in mind a key part the FSG ownership has a BS from Babson College and a masters in real estate development from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

FSG has done a great job with Liverpool and won recent World Series.
I also like that Fenway hasn't been imploded for a cookie cutter in the burbs. New MLB parks to me are just as generic as 70s era FB/BB combos like Three Rivers Stadium.
Chaim's rebuild appears to be well executed. If they get good Chris Sale for the 2nd half of the season with him not needing to give a ton of innings we might be on to something. Not dumping Eovaldi or Vasquez gives them my full support they punted on the right players sucks Mookie stuck it to them year 1 but most of the moves look good.
I guess I can understanad that ownership not being popular with people who like the former USFL owner who killed that league and is blacklisted from owning an MLB/NFL/NHL/NBA team mind you.

Yeah, as a Red Sox fan I'm pretty okay with the four championships and ample spending ownership has committed to since buying the team. And I already hate Bruins broadcasts, so who cares about that?
I will approve the FSG purchase of the Bruins if they discontinue Sweet Caroline at Fenway Park.
I agree. Look what happened to the San Francisco 49ers- another team owned by siblings. As you say hopefully JJ has designated one of the six to be more equal than the others & given him/her the power to make it stick. Otherwise....?
Keep her far far away from the Bruins.No legal reason why that couldn't

doubtful because I cannot see NESN wanting to kill off NBC Sports Boston, Fenway, even if DN wants to/forced to sell their piece of the RSN just because they can without jeopardizing either Liverpool or another entity such as Roush Fenway that they've invested in.No legal reason why that couldn't

I look at this objectively if NBCSN can go away with a stroke of a pen or a corporate decision so does FSG want to control 2 of the 5 franchises if u count the Revolution under KSG, AND legally can they do that without paying a penalty in another sector... would that be approved though without jeopardizing either the Sox or NESN, since NESN is fully under the FSG Banner from the day they acquired it.
I frankly do not need to see the Bruins broadcast clean house for cheaper talent who objectify women just to please their male audience.
Under Tom Warner you will get that. Hell he'd probably bring back the ice girls and make them dress like the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders

Agreed. I rather keep the Crypt Keeper and I despise him...
but u also keep bringing up that option that DN isn't happy with NESN, SO WHICH IS IT.... do they leave NESN for NBCSB?

Yes, I appreciate the championships also.
But they won't be able to spend like that in the capped NHL.
Bruins can't generate the capital that the Sox & Liverpool do. May not be a great investment for them.

Tom Werner would try to sell fans chunks of ice from the TD Garden playing surface for $79.99 each, then put Dave O'Brien and Jahmai Webster on the call for Bruins games.

Lol the “Ice Girls”
Somehow I kind of forgot about that phase of on ice entertainment/clean-up. Feels so long ago now. Always felt completely ridiculous even if I hadn’t yet opened my eyes to the truly objectifying nature of it until I got a bit older.
And yet some NHL teams continue to do it
It's Las Vegas, the Capital of Sleaze & Trash!
