I was going to post a picture of me in a suit, but the time between greying and mostly white has seen very little suit wearing.

Really, could be anyone.

This thread deserves it's own sound bite now.

If Pegula bought the Celtics, and moved them to San Diego, all would be forgiven for me.

 

[BB79]

As a Bruins and Sabres fan this is hilariously ironic to my own world (and no I'm not Jacobs)

I think I see Bill Clinton too!

He still had his unused ticket to the 99 Cup Final, Pegula decided to let him use it

Stan Kroenke does. Rams, Avs, Nuggets...

The Nuggets and Avalanche franchises are held in the name of his wife, Ann Walton Kroenke, to evade NFL rules that forbid a team owner from having teams in other markets.

So, for this to happen, they would have to make Kim or the kids the Penguins (or NHL Team X) owner.

That's not Bill Clinton -- that's Bigfoot.

Owner of FSE. Got sent this picture I believe that’s him on the end. @Fenway maybe I'm / they are mistaken? Seems too good to be true

Looks just as much like the TB Lightning owner. And given that the Amerks played in Syracuse on Wednesday, that makes way more sense.

The guy holding the Tims could be Lightning pro scout Stephen Gionta, too...

Thoughts ? What could be cooking ?

The Lightning are the parent club of the Syracuse Crunch. They were likely just checking in on their guys and nothing is cooking.

Had a dream that this happened. Granted, in the dream, I was also living in New England when it went down. So I better get busy moving.

You must move to New England immediately... The organization and fan base is depending on you!!

Apparently Elon Musk is interested in buying FSG’s controlling interest in Liverpool soccer club. Looks like they’re gathering the funds to buy the Celtics. Another piece to the puzzzle.

Personal feelings of the .5 trillionaire aside, this frees up funds for FSG to move on the Celtics and possibly strong arm the Jacob’s family into selling the Bruins and TD arena to complete their Boston sports market trifecta. Just another critical step to a potential Jacob’s family takeover of our hapless hockey team.

How are the Jacobs' family members' ability to analyze amateur scouting video?

Yeah, in a bubble it would be nice for the rumor at hand and help me double down on my Boston sports hate. I'm just so sick of his extremely punchable face never getting punched.

Sounds like you don't realize that you're in a cult.

Eh? I've always hated Boston sports.

The company responsible for the worst arena food in the league would own the team? Sounds like the perfect fit.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Here's the plan, in model form.

Is the food really that bad? Although it apparently doesn't stop Boston from constantly playing in the playoffs.

Yes. I think someone cheaps out on staff or prep. Sometimes I will get the buffet at the Harbour Club, which is pricey but beyond superb. And Delaware North does the Harbour Club so I have no idea why it sucks in stands. I almost never eat at rink from stands.

Fenway Sports Group looking to expand Penguins ownership group: Sources

FSG, which owns several other properties, including the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool FC, plans to maintain controlling interest of Penguins.

This seems to indicate that FSG is not looking to shed the Pens.
