Re: To the extent it comes up: Trump crap post-WH years
Good news for the serious investor! Trump is further tanking DJT by issuing more shares Can’t understand why anybody, even his true believers, would buy his stock at this point. He got his approval to sell his own shares, plus he plans too dilute the ownership even further. It’s a falling knife tha...

Re: More Backroom Deals Than Tammany Hall - A Youth Soccer Tale
Issue resolved. Kelli sent a nice email asking if there was a reason behind it. He was extremely apologetic saying it was just an oversight and that he loves Asher and having her on the team.

Several Rivians and a Polestar in our neighborhood. We are going to get an electric SUV this year, but those Rivians are pricey! Looking more likely we get a Hyundai Ionic 5 or a Kia. Nice looking, highly rated, less expensive electrics.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
That link says they are leaving their name and logo in Phoenix, presumably for a future expansion team.
I wonder what they'll nickname the team? Something that says, "Utah" I guess? Hmm... "Jazz" is already taken..., maybe the Utah Zydeco? Or, the Utah Hiphop? SLC Punk?

Yeah, that was a hell of a save. That kid went undrafted, so he is a free agent. Earned himself a nice contract from somebody with his play the last few days, I’d guess.

The Jets and the Avalanche are highly likely to face each other in the upcoming first round of the playoffs. Today, Winnipeg just edged Colorado 7-0. One wonders how that carries over into the playoffs.

Great question. And I agree that increasing the size of the court - and possibly the lane - would help. It's kind of wild to think about the size of players today compared to when the court size was decided. Obviously, there are logistical issues with increasing the size of courts at some older gym...

Burns an Karlsson both essentially played rover. Elite offensively but always an adventure on defense. Vlasic never really filled that mold. He used to be an excellent defender, but he got old overnight, a couple years ago.

The problem in Phoenix was always the location of the arena, until they moved. Phoenix has traffic and it was a tough location. Now they play in that tiny facility, but at least they sell it out.
