Swimming in debt

By Tangotiger, 02:02 PM

Great recap from Stu Hackel on the Phoenix Coyotes, as he gives us great links to David Shoalts and Stephen Brunt. The hockey landscape provides far more interesting real-life case studies than does baseball, yet baseball is where most of the smart guys perform their studies. Expansion, relocation, mergers, bankruptcy, union boss convicted, salary caps, revenue sharing. And all within the last 30 years. What a treasure trove.
