Regarding the Utah naming, though it was not considered in the end thought Posse would have been a possibility, Utah Posse.

Some serious tea on the sabres board… big if true… look for the Boston thread

Maybe they just haven’t announced it yet? because I’m pretty sure I saw Hathaway call someone a Posse in the flyers Utah game last night.

They might as well just keep doing random interviews through this so-called TNT "contest."

Unwatchable... and we have best vs worst in the west to look forward to next.

Also, Marchand is an idiot.

Yikes…

The driver’s blood alcohol concentration was listed as being 0.087% — just over the legal limit, court papers state.

Tests also showed Johnny’s blood alcohol concentration level was 0.129% when he was killed, while his brother had a reading of 0.134%, according to the filing cited by the outlet.

I Iiked yetis and nothing sounds mornon like outlaws

Somewhat fascinating (to me) thing from 32 Thoughts today, that I'd never considered.. When third teams are brought into a deal to facilitate (retain some money), they aren't (always? usually?) privy to knowing just who they're retaining on or bigger parameters of the deal.

Nothing Caps related in the post.

19. The NBA’s Utah Jazz were the middleman in the massive Doncic deal. ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reported that Jazz president Danny Ainge didn’t know Doncic nor Anthony Davis were involved “until about an hour before it was completed … But by then it was too late to do much about it.”

Kind of funny it happened a week after the Blackhawks were criticized for not getting more out of eating part of Rantanen’s salary. I asked around about this: should the Blackhawks have changed their minds, or asked for more? “How do you feel about breaking your word?” was the general response.

One thing everyone understood: GM Kyle Davidson wasn’t told specifics because Colorado demanded secrecy from Carolina. A couple executives said that, in this situation, you know what you’re being asked to retain, so you’re guessing who it could be. And, they bet Davidson was given a higher number than actually needed, to make it harder to guess who it was. Apparently, that’s a regular tactic.

So they rode bikes home rather then drunk driving like the A hole who hit them?

I guess….the yikes part being the defense attorney may try to move to dismiss because of it. Not sure if them being hammered is some sort of out or what….

Wouldn’t he still likely get charged with vehicular manslaughter at the very least? He illegally passed the first vehicle going over the double yellow line into the oncoming lane and then tried to go around the second vehicle on the shoulder when he struck them from what I understand. This guy is a real piece of shit

 

[twabby]

The defense attorney is doing their job and throwing shit at the wall to see if it sticks. But I'm pretty sure any judge/jury is going to laugh at that defense.

 

[Calicaps]

It's potentially mitigating, but I wouldn't think it's sufficient to fully exonerate him. The lawyers are asking for dismissal. I'd be shocked if that worked, though I could see the jury considering it in terms of some lesser charge and/or the judge taking it into account in sentencing.

Haven’t dug into the latest updates
but I imagine if the defense is arguing for a dismissal it’s not due to the brothers’ intoxication per se, but that the state erred in withholding that information from the defendant in what’s known as a Brady violation.

The Supreme Court ruled in Brady v Maryland that the “due process” clause of the 14th Amendment obligates prosecutors to share with the defense any potentially exculpatory evidence they have, even if it could hurt the prosecution’s case.

Hypothetically the defense might argue that a biker darted or weaved into the roadway right before impact. Since evidence of that biker being heavily intoxicated is something that would tend to support that assertion, a prosecutor willfully withholding that info could be construed as violating the defendant’s right to due process.

Thanks for the clarification. But oh man! If that works, and he walks, those prosecutors are gonna have hell to pay.

I don’t venture to the mains. So give us the tea!

Due to a number of factors including imminent arena deals and the unexpected sale of the Celtics, there is talk of what would essentially be a 3 way trade of franchises:

Fenway Sports Group is based in Boston, but owns the Penguins

The Jacobs family business is based in Buffalo, but they own the Bruins

Pegula grew up a Penguins fan and made his fortune in natural gas from the Marcellus Shale (underlies Western PA, MD, and WV).

If the deal went down:

Pegula would end up with the Penguins
Fenway would end up with the Bruins
Jacobs heirs would end up with the Sabres

The OP is very plugged in with the Bruins so I don’t doubt it’s being discussed. Whether or not it actually gets done, who knows.

Not a lawyer, just passing on the info from the article. No clue about the ramifications.

Appreciate that!

Pegula is horrible. That would be tremendous!
