Thankfully it appears there ARE two mystery options for the team name: Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review Journal: Bill Foley confirms Las Vegas Nighthawks, Desert Hawks & Red Hawks all owned by his company along with 2 others that are being processed.

Correct. I don't get the whole playing dumb about the things he says and the acts of many of his supporters thing is meant to accomplish. Denial, I guess?

I would assign Rip 666

I don't think there's any argument of copyright on Nights. It's a completely different word that has an entirely different meaning. Can't complain about it sounding the same. If there was a problem with Nighthawks it wouldn't be a finalist because these were all names submitted to the league for review.

This might end up benefiting Colorado. Going to be interesting to see who they can poach this late in the game. Maybe they take Todd Richards out of Tampa before he coaches a game for them (he's an assistant there).

The NHL explicitly told them they could not have a name that directly references gambling (likely ruling out fan favorite Aces among many many others). They ran into trademark troubles with the Knights name (and didn't want to pay what it would cost to get around that). My favorite is still the Las Vegas Nights. Maybe people will shorten it to that instead of Hawks if Nighthawks ends up being the winner. I'll be interested to see any designs that come of it.

Some people do care. Like me. I care an unhealthy amount about what numbers players on my favorite teams are wearing. If you don't care then why comment?

Night Hawks is a good name, but I prefer that they make it one word. Nighthawks. That has to be the leader. And the article isn't saying "add" them to the list. That IS the list.

Nights has been suggested and appears to be a finalist...

I don't think it's a question. Richards wouldn't have just said that. He likely asked Kulikov. Richards is the top reporter down in Florida. 77 is a great number. I don't know why we would think he'd take 6 as it doesn't appear he has any connection to it.

Chara and Lucic yes. Ovechkin? I've been to two Washington games here in Buffalo and have never heard him booed. But yea, Vesey will get booed if he doesn't sign here. This isn't the thread for it and he was joking about the Vegas Knights name but the Kitchener Rangers were owned by the Rangers. Unclear how Carolina got to use the Hurricanes name, though. Probably just bought the rights which is something Vegas can do but the owner said it's too expensive.

Huh? Bernie released his tax return...

Don't worry, boo. He's my "too hot" and you're my "just right." Freeman is my "too cold." Nick Filipowski ‏@NICK_WKBW 2m2 minutes ago Just received from Vesey reps: There are no front runners. Jimmy will go through the process and Buffalo will be part of that process. (1/2) Nick Filipowski ‏@NICK_WKBW 2m2 minutes ago More from Vesey reps: Everything said or read until that time is speculation. (2/2) #Sabres

We get it, Liger. You're really cool and cute and don't give a frig about no man.

And that's a problem in what way? His system and his policies were never meant to make sure nobody can be rich and successful. I'm going to need some serious explaining if you're really married to the idea that Bernie Sanders owning a nice home makes him hypocritical in any way.

Now we're going to shame a 74-year-old man for his real estate choices and play ignorant about what his policies preached. eye roll, so very predictable.

Whatever happened to the thousands of people who publicly claim they want a Trump presidency because he's a "straight shooter" who "tells it like it is?" It seems like every other day he's coming out and saying he didn't mean what he said.

Yes. I haven't seen too many people calling for Rex or Whaley's heads on this one. The only mention I've seen is if these injuries should guarantee them a free pass this season (I say absolutely not).

You're only perfect most of the time, no worries. :)

That'd be 16

Ledecky said she almost through up in the last 50 meters which might explain why she almost blew it.

Media bus shot while transporting passengers. Two injured by glass but nobody hit. http://dlvr.it/M0PZZk

He literally suggested that "2nd amendment people" do "something" about Hillary. Give me a minute while I google what this 2nd amendment thingy is all about ...

If you can turn Risto into Lindholm you do it, but I don't think that's possible.
