1. Business agents for Michael Jordan have reportedly complained to NBA execs that franchise values have recently soared out of the NBA icon and would-be owner's price range. Instead, Jordan is now considering buying the entire NHL.

:lol :lol

:lol :lol

that would rock if he really had the monies for that

 

[sc0la]

that would be crazy if a black man owned the league before it had its first black player

There are a handful of black NHLers..

 

[kumanoki]

So? I'm considering buying a Snickers after work.

Plus this:

News of an attempt to purchase the league caught the hockey world by surprise.

According to various news sources, the bid was made on Tuesday during this week's NHL Board of Governors meeting, when league Commissioner Gary Bettman let Boston-based Bain Capital Partners LLC and Game Plan International LLC present a 30-minute purchase bid worth $3.5 billion.

The owners are said to have listened politely but ultimately dismissed the offer.

That's right. A Marv Albert rolleyes.

 

[DMczaf]

That's $3.5 billion CANADIAN!

What surprises me is how much NFL franchises are worth. The Baltimore Ravens are worth more than the New York Yankees! Other WTF's on the list are the Cleveland Indians being worth more than the Chicago Bulls. The Raptors are worth more than the Maple Leafs, the Memphis Grizzlies are worth more than the Vancouver Canucks, and the Montreal Expos were worth more than Ottawa, Calgary, and Edmonton :lol

Yes, there`s several black players. It`s just that hockey is a little harder to dominate than the other shitty american teamsports. You need more skills than just being big and strong or tall and able to jump.

 

[sc0la]

*plane flies over head*

What happened to darkshire anyway?

EDIT:

You need more skills than just being big and strong or tall and able to jump.

lets not beat around the bush, we all know its because they don't like cold :rolleyes

 

[Joe]

that list is old, forbes now has the yankees listed at $900+ million which would put them second on all american sports franchises (behind redskins). if you factor in the yes network its not even a contest.

:lol What ignorance. Jerome Iginla is a top three skill player and George Laraque is a top three enforcer. You better recognize!

 

[-=DoAvl=-]

He could probably buy the NBL... or the AFL.... or even both? plus rove?

 

[AirBrian]

You can't spell "Michael Jordan" without EA.

I'm actually surprised the Raptors are worth more then the Leafs.

Iginla is black! How did I miss that!!! I was watching him throughout last season's playoffs and never for a second thought he was black.

Sad that it is indeed not a joke Maybe he would consider buying the 12-65 Hawks. We'll throw in Philips Arena for free just to get someone with sense behind the team and firing off these slackers.

Looked like the 2/3 point in the next revenge of the nerds movie.

Actually when I saw your post I assumed it was the big & rich & gay halftime show at the NBA all-star game. This clip beats that, but not by much.

 

[Loki]

Jordan should just sell his "house"-- then he'd have enough dough to purchase the NHL:

Yes, that's all his.

 

[calder]

I'm assuming you all realize it was a "joke". Not terribly funny, but the 10 Spot is set up so that most entries have a bit of sports news and then an attempted exageration for comedic kick. You have to look all the way down to the next paragraph to see another example.

News: Jordan's business dudes complain about the NBA costs skyrocketing to where only the obscenely rich can play and that it's becoming beyond the means of the merely super-rich.
Joke: the NHL would be cheaper in it's entirety

 

[soundwave05]

Wowza at Jordan's house.

Incredible that the Seattle Mariners are no.5 on the MLB list, behind only the "huge market" teams like the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, and Dodgers.

Nintendo just racks up the dollars no matter what.

 

[Hollywood]

Jordan should just sell his "house"-- then he'd have enough dough to purchase the NHL:

Which house in that neighborhood is his?

 

[soundwave05]

Which house in that neighborhood is his?

I think that is the neighbourhood.

Surprisingly thing is it "only" cost $5.1 million or so, because it looks like a $10-$20 million dollar estate easily, then again that number may only be for the house alone and not the property itself.

 

[Socreges]

Iginla is only half-black. He obviously got all his hockey talent from his white mother. His black genes help him jump high in celebration after scoring with his white man skills.

 

[DMczaf]

Which house in that neighborhood is his?

It's Mr. Jordan's Neighborhood.

 

[kgHavok23]

Which house in that neighborhood is his?

um...its that really really huge one on the top haha. Apparently one of the houses towards the bottom belongs to his mother and another in that picture belong to his sister. Neighborhood name is called Architectural Heights.......no im not a stalker.

 

[soundwave05]

That's kinda neat.

Dude, that's all his. The whole picture. His sister or mother may live in one of the "outhouses" (I have no idea), but that's just out of generosity. Regardless, he owns or has paid for everything in that picture. It's not a "neighborhood" as far as I know.
