    I wonder how much profit they make from the Bandits?  Seeing the crowd and how much merchandise they sell for such a niche sport with low player salaries, one would think they are making money hand over fist. 

    Side note:  I'm always amazed (and love) that the players actually have regular full time jobs on top of being a professional lacrosse player.  

    As NLL revenues rise, player salaries also rise. In fact a good number of players make enough to commit to it full time. Many augment their income with youth camps. As a whole the NLL is not that profitable but it's trending upward. Franchise values have certainly risen.

    Did not know that existed. Crimson without Fripp just seems wrong but enjoy. 

    Going to see The National with The War On Drugs in October. Saw Chelsea Wolfe just a little while ago. 

    Excellent. I saw the last King Crimson tour with Fripp, the big 8 piece group with three drummers. I'm not sure what to expect with this BEAT edition of KC but I'm a fan of both Belew and Levin.

  3. I will see Stiff Little Fingers in Boston tomorrow. Martin Barre of Jethro Tull next weekend, Jon Anderson of Yes in June, The Hives in September, and I'm seeing BEAT King Crimson with Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Steve Vai and Danny Carey in October.

    Well the time between Lindy’s announcement and Granatos firing was 6 days. 

    Anybody employed in season would need permission to interview so we know it that number doesn’t include the 16 teams currently to in the playoffs, or anybody on an NHL staff through the month of March.

    And we now know he didn’t call Berube.

    The more information that comes out seems to indicate the pool of people he spoke to was rather small with minimal NHL coaching experience and those with NHL experience would have to be bottom half of the league teams in the 5-6 days between firing Granato and hiring Lindy.
     

    I don't doubt the pool was small. I wouldn't be surprised the pool was one: Lindy. Just saying Adams never said he interviewed double digits in 5 days.

    Wad a great game. Got to meet the #1 star Isak Rosen after the game. A really nice kid who loves to come out and mingle with fans after the games. I have a pic, but I'll have to shrink it before this crappy site will let me add it, lol.

    The Amerks played a tremendous game against a fellow 86-point franchise. Syracuse is not a crap team. They bottled up Rochester at times because they're good enough to do that.

    And how about the games Wahlberg and Ostland had? Both players joining the Amerks late and already contributing. You could credit Wahlberg's arrival as a factor in Rochester going on a tear since March. 

    Game 2 is Sunday at 3pm.

    I use melted butter instead of olive oil - I find olive oil tends to overpower the flavor.  Also, a tip I learned from Guy Fieri - add a splash or two of hot sauce to the melted butter before you slather it on the baguette. 

    Here's my twist. Melt butter in a large fry non stick pan, saute garlic in that butter, then sprinkle a generous amount of shaved Parm into that bubbling butter. Once it starts to melt put your bread down so the cheese etc sear into it. Finish by toasting in the oven.

    Man, those are some lame names. 

    Utah being the Beehive State seems like it would offer some interesting options. 

    I've seen Mammoth as a possibility. I've warmed up to that name. No elephant mascots in any pro sports right now. But yeah, those other names stink.
