OT: NFL

Getting Crosby right off the heels of having Mario was incredibly fortunate for sure. But attributing 5 Stanley Cups over a 26 year period solely to luck is silly and deep down I think you know that. I’m by no means a hockey expert but I know enough to know it’s a totally different beast from other sports. The best players are on the ice for a third of the game, if that. You can have a generational player, even two, and you’re not winning a damn thing without a strong organization from top to bottom. Look at the trades they’ve made in their Cup years, the well timed coaching changes. Look at how they didn’t just stand pat from 91 to 92 or from 16 to 17. Hockey players are interesting dudes. Finding just the right mix to win a Cup is hard. The grind of the tournament is hard. There’s a reason it’s pretty much universally agreed that it’s the hardest trophy in sports to win.

You want to harp on how the Penguins are run. Every team has ups and downs. The Penguins know when it’s time to go all in and have done so more successfully than all but a few franchises in all of professional sports in the last 35 years.

You got Cindy after the team went broke again and flirted with a move to Kansas City thanks to empty seats because they were the worst team in the league a few years in a row. The Flyers built arenas and community rinks and got nothing. Yeah that seems fair.

The Flyers never got historically bad. That’s why they are stale. It why the Stillers are stale. I wish the Flyers tanked the past few years. I have no faith in Danny My Son Pushed Someone’s Wheelchair Down The Steps Briere to fix them.

I’m sure the Penguins were still being charitable even during their struggles. That good karma came from somewhere.

Saw a list of the wealth of each NFL ownership and the Stillers ownership is dead last at 1.2 billion in wealth. The Denver Donkeys have the wealthiest ownership.

Not surprising because the majority ownership block is spread amongst several members of the Rooney family instead of one household. The Rooneys that are involved with the Steelers also have very few business ventures outside of the Steelers. Its one of the reasons they've remained relatively modest

The second wealthiest ownership group are the Chefs/Refs. Yet they won’t find a new stadium themselves. Mike Hunt is a cheapo.
