Welcome to (failed) TED Talk - TED is dead.

[Jamieh]

This was actually an extremely good rundown of the entire situation, past, present and future.

For someone already up-to-speed on these events, the most interesting nugget was regarding Tillman Fertitta. Morgan stated that he was “vetted” by the NHL and found to have not had the money to buy the team and didn’t want to put up the money necessary to buy the team.

Sounds like it’s not just “he didn’t like the price” and more like “he couldn’t afford the price” which is a whole different thing. And possibly the only reason they aren’t already in Houston, I’d think.

What am I missing here as Forbes has him in the top 100 richest Americans and worth over $8 billion??

pYeah, well... to a west-sider like me, the subtleties are lost - it's just "FAR." In fairness, isn't that what most folks on the east side said about Westgate? So it really comes down to a level of caring based on how much inconvenience one is subjected to. Of course, it also comes down to a question of which group of people deserve to be less inconvenienced, and that's when things get ugly around here, so let's not go there.



When I lived in Paradise Valley, I did the daily commute down to the Arizona Mills area. It suuuuuuuuucked.



...for Chandler, Gilbert, and Mesa residents, sure. And Glendale worked wonderfully for Glendale, Peoria, Goodyear, Avondale, and Phoenix residents. See

Posting because I have no idea how to delete a draft.

What are you missing? Seems like you’re correct. I wonder what Craig is missing. Seems like the facts. Hahaha.

I thought I remembered Fertitta as being mega rich.

 

[Schemp]

Got me thinking: what would be the funniest possible outcome?

On the Salt River River reservation

 

[rt]

Got me thinking: what would be the funniest possible outcome?

Glendale. Or potentially Ishibia. So it’s either go back to Glendale or it’s go back to the same arena they played in 1996. Those are the only options that fit the criteria.

Morgan.

Maybe it’s Casino Arizona and is “Funniest possibly outcome” because it is just so close to TED?

Craig has had a rough week so I guess we can cut him some slack??

 

[Schemp]

...but that's what I said!

Buying the land and making TED work as intended, circumventing the no vote.

But the cash isn't there for that. So it would need to be the tribal land that is arguably a better spot with less oversight right across from Tempe Marketplace.

 

[Mosby]

So... Does anyone else think that XG just might need to be shit canned? Like, perhaps we need a new face to spearhead this renewed vigorous search for a deal?

No. He has worked for Muruelo in many of his businesses. Right hand man.

 

[Jamieh]

Wonder if Godaddy and PXG guy would consider the Coyotes and the arena at Westgate to own the whole area?

 

[Grimes]

Dying.

 

[GhostofTommyBolin]

Wouldn't they just need a campus apartment address? Even a dorm? Idk if the law is different in Arizona, I went to school back in Illinois, but I was able to vote in my precinct just because I registered my apartment address.

No, AZ students aren't allowed to vote in state or local elections unless their permanent home address is there, i.e. Tempe in this case.

Buying the land and making TED work as intended, circumventing the no vote.

Ok. Yes. That would be the funniest possible outcome.




…



Why would Fiesta Mall be funny? I don’t understand.

 

[AZDesertKnight]

Got me thinking: what would be the funniest possible outcome?

Glendale. Lol

 

[XX]

Glendale. Lol

That's funny in the cosmic sense, not the f*** you Tempe way.

Unless he brings in a partner with deep pockets.

 

[rt]

Glendale. Lol

She said no to that.

Ryan Reynolds. Lol.

Canada would lose their freaking minds.

 

[RemoAZ]

That's always been my dream outcome. Put the project back together and it's working as intended although a couple decades after the fact. That would make me too happy so it has zero chance of happening. Kind of like us winning the lottery.

 

[Jamieh]

She said no to that.


Ryan Reynolds. Lol.

Canada would lose their freaking minds.

He don't have that kinda cash. If he did he would be more than a popular add on to Ottawa bid.

 

[TheLegend]

Tillman's net worth is $8 Billion. Typical Morgan.

$2.4 billion into the Spurs.
$650 million into a steakhouse chain. After the expansion to Houston talk.

In BoH we had a transcript of him having a lunch with Trump at the White House during the pandemic with a couple of other billionaires talking bailout loans.

Net worth doesn’t mean liquidity.

So not typical Morgan. Typical Jakey not doing his homework.

Sorry. “The Reynolds Group” does that help my joke be more precise? I know you require the utmost accuracy a solemn respect when discussing anything to do with the province of Ontario. You absolute freaking mole.

Net worth does mean ability to borrow though unless you think Mureulo is just sitting on cash?

I got the joke, I'm not from Ontario but I do like facts.

No. Could have bought them when he bought Westgate. Wasn’t interested.
