Personal experience..... We have a mini pack and were contacted twice about a month ago to commit to the whole playoffs, which we declined. These were direct from ticket reps. Have been contacted for our window to move / upgrade seats. This was a form / mass email. And contacted with instructions for single seats leading up to and when playoff presale was open to season ticket holders. This was a form / mass email. This was primarily through email mind you. I could see some people having an obscure email address they don't check or going to spam. But I don't think it is realistic to phone thousands and thousands of people in that short a time frame after the Jets qualified for playoffs.

Black is the new Orange?

It is a combination of a lot of factors. It is also NHL / hockey fatigue. To see a dip in season ticket holders and attendance around the 10 year mark of a new franchise / relocated franchise is pretty typical if you look to some other recent examples (ie. Minnesota). If they hadn't planned for this, then they weren't really doing their homework. This city is too small to support the Jets, Moose, and Ice. The Ice is leaving. Question remains if this city can really support both the Jets and the Moose. Up until last year, I was part of a season ticket group where we shared seats. I went to about 18 games a season. Which, to be honest is too much just in terms of time commitment (let alone the $$$). Demand is no longer there and we downgraded to a mini pack. We now go to 11 games, which feels about the right amount. Similar to the number of home games for the Bombers. When they were selling out, a high percentage of full season tickets were groups of people splitting them. They seem reluctant to really push the mini packs, and sometimes feels like they are an after thought. They are currently only available for the 300 level. Why not open this up to the 200 / 100 levels? When we had a window to upgrade our seats, there was only options for full and half season tickets. I had to push them to open up the mini packs. Their website is a bit of a mess as well. There are pages where the mini packs aren't even talked about. Agree this messaging they are using is going to rub people the wrong way. #1 rule of marketing is know your target audience. They seem oblivious to who their target audience is.

The other thing about bitcoin is it targets to have a new coin "mined" every 10 minutes. This means it adjusts how hard the algorithm is to mine the next coin regularly (every 2 weeks I believe). The more people that mine it, the more difficult it becomes. This is the difficulty factor over time, which would also be an indication of how many machines are out there trying to mine them.

Einstein was also skeptical that black holes actually existed, even though his math and equations predicted they do.

This was also one of the contracts that triggered the NHL to put in the 8 year max contract rule, as this was a 14 year contract, front loaded so that he only gets paid $1M a year with a $7.8M cap hit in each of the final 3 years. The contract was designed to be bought out in those years or traded to a team like Phoenix.

Are the people you put your faith in the ones who are always voted in?

It would also require trust in elected officials that they can competently plan past the election cycle. I wonder how much of this is people don't buy into it and how much is it with a lack of trust or seeing a lack of vision from elected officials.

We all know that Milt got his overpayment in the form of a minivan!

It is a tough pill to swallow and dissapointing when it turns out that people we idolize and look up to aren't the people we hoped them to be. In any given population of people there is going to be a wide range of people from really horrible to really great (and everything in betwen). Being a hockey player, actor, or any kind of celebrity doesn't automatically make you a great person. It just makes you great at some things that happen to make you famous. At the end of the day, take care of yourself, be careful of who you idolize and make sure the people you choose to emulate are deserving, and represent the kind of person you want to be.

I think the government thinks they win more brownie points by someone getting a physical cheque in hand a few times a year vs the smaller tax savings of seeing a few hundred dollars extra on your pay cheque split over 26ish pay periods. Would certainly seem easier (and cheaper) to administer your way.

Lions did get Ryan Rigmaiden back a couple of years ago. Would expect they have a decent pipeline coming in.

Also a difference of making $750k vs $175k

Or actually retire seeing Wikipedia says she is in her 70s.

Think she was the same. Everyone was just simply excited to have the Jets back. 10 years later, just having them back isn't enough.

The problem with trading this early is the extra 2 months of salary you need to take on. Especially if you are going to take on big salaries like Toews or Kane (max 50% retention without a 3rd team getting involved). Don't make rash decisions. The team built a decent buffer to hopefully weather this storm. They will fall in the standings, but as long as you can stay in playoff contention and make the push back up when everyone is back.

Seeing as these get sold on opensea which uses crypto as payment, we can only guess.... But chances are a fair amount.

Apparently these sold out within 12 hours. A fool and his money are soon parted.

Brings back the nightmare of when he was president. See a news item. Not sure if it is real or a parody Go look it up Turns out it is real Not sure if I should be surprised or not BTW: For anyone who was interested in buying one for the cheap prices of $99. You don't even get a card. You are buying a "digital card".
