Could you just imagine the hatred that the rest of the country would have if that were to happen? It would be so awesome!!!!
Unfortunately, I don't see it happening. The C's might have an outside chance if they finally start consistently playing like they should the rest of the way, but the B's just don't seem to have it this year (most likely a first round exit).

Looks like the B's are trying to prove me wrong! They've been playing some incredible hockey lately, even short handed. Maybe, just maybe they might win it all. Of course, there is a team called the Lightning who might have something to say about that.

Tied for 3rd best record in the league. Only TB is running away with the no.1 seed. They need to finish strong, last year they kind of stumbled over the finish line heading into the playoffs.

Let's change that!!!

You're close. But no city has actually won championships in more than 2 sports in a year's time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_in_Detroit
The Detroit Lions won the National Football League championship in 1935. The Detroit Tigers won the American League pennant in 1934 and again in 1935, subsequently winning the World Series in 1935. The Detroit Red Wings won the National Hockey League's Stanley Cup in 1936 and 1937.

New England/Boston has a real good chance of doing that this year. Best bet would be the Bruins though, it would take somewhat of a miracle for any team to beat the Warriors in a seven game series this year.

Kraft probably avoids jail time for this but there could be NFL sanctions for sure.

BillTheGOAT · Post #1908 » by **BillTheGOAT** » Fri Feb 22, 2019 5:14 pm

Probably be forced to sell the team.

If ever there was a time for this gif it would be now...

He should have just went the sugar daddy route. Plenty of web sites for those types of relationships and it's legal. Going and doing this in a public spa with his public image is asking for issues.

I'm not sure of course what the league will do, but I imagine instead of selling the team, he'll be force to turn it over to his son, and step away from any contact with the team.
Of course with Goodell and his Patriots' witch hunts, who knows what will happen

Suspension and fines, but I'm not sure they'll make him sell.

its just sad he had to end his tenure as an owner like that.

We go from Spygate to Deflategate to Spagate. The controversies don't stop. Goodell must have cracked a smile at some point today, as I'm sure did the many Patriot haters.

Meh. Kraft will proclaim his innocence, his lawyers will use delaying tactics, and Kraft will enter into a plea deal sometime in 2022, after most people have forgetten that anything happened. He'll make a big contribution to one of the agencies that help women get out of the sex industry, do a few hours of community service, and be more discreet as to who provides his happy endings.
