Gov Patterson to throw his full support behind the Islanders Lighthouse project
Edited on Tue Jul-21-09 04:34 PM by inthebrain
Islanders will get their new building. The Gov can over ride the town so this is awesome news.

4:05 pm, Point Blank Exclusive: Details are being finalized for New York State Governor David A. Paterson to appear at the Coliseum on Monday to throw his complete support behind the Lighthouse Project. With the mega August 4 hearing with the Town of Hempstead just weeks away, the momentum of a positive press conference is a huge boost for developers Charles Wang and Scott Rechler.

1. Are they going to use cardboard cut-outs to help fill the seats?
Worst Attendance last year:

28 Columbus 607,757 14,823
29 Phoenix 607,638 14,820
30 NY Islanders 559,247 13,640

2. The 83 percenter chimes in
The Isles sold a better percentage of the building than the Frisco Chokers this season.

Suck it!!!!!

A dead last team in the league sold 2,400 short of capacity. You really look stupid and fall on your own attendance arguments.

42. That doesn't seem right..
comparing hockey attendance to baseball. Here's the comparison you're looking for, or avoiding..

2008/2009 NHL attendance

Sharks-17,488 (100%)

Islanders-13,733 (84.5%)

3. Are the Sharks going to make a Stanley Cup out of cardboard?
Because I'm betting that's the only way they'll get one.

6. That's not an honest list. It's completely taken out of context.
For one thing, how was the Cubs OP a gloating thread?

I was simply pointing out that they're a disgrace of an organization, with that third highest payroll and crappy record.

Try again gloater.

13. Typical douche dodge. What's your next trick, Hannity?
Here, let me show everyone your idea of NOT gloating....

It has all come to this for NY Choker fans:


And the Chokers lose 3-0 :rofl:

2ND HIGHEST PAYROLL IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL


Laughing at other teams and calling them chokers isn't gloating? Maybe not in your Rush Limbaugh Dittohead world, but real Democrats know it is.

But wait, there's more from the paragon of virtue and non-gloating that is cboy4....

In all seriousness, is there a bigger joke than those absolutely embarrassing



You even made that thread a gloating two-fer....

I will have to correct myself. Of course there is.

The Chokers.

Let's see if David Wright hit a homer. Nope!

40-45, 2nd highest payroll in MLB


Wait, don't run yet, I'm not done...

As if there aren't enough reasons not to take the Chokers serious.

(If you take a look off the FOX News ad, you'll notice all of the empty seats)


Nope, no gloating there... :crazy:

I see you edging out the door already, but there's more...

ROID RAGE! **Manny booed, ejected**

And then there's this....

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

Marlins' 37,000 seats might be too many :rofl:


And this....

Top Sports Towns: MIAMI RANKS DEAD LAST!!

WHAT A DISGRACE


And we can't forget this...

Even Pirates players are fed up with that embarrassing excuse of a franchise

Or this fine example of not gloating....

N.Y. Mets fall to an absolutely humiliating one game below .500

after losing 10-6 to the "Brew Crew" -- you know, the team the Giants were supposed to be embarrassed losing 2-of-3 to over the weekend.

It's already started. The collapse!



And lastly, we have the big reach around as you pat yourself on the back....

Not surprising at all .. looks like Upton and Cboy are correct about attendance!

You wish this stuff was out of context, little girl.

that Cboil has to divert the thread?

Like you trying to imply I drink a lot? That kind of sewer diving? :rofl:


Yet more in the endless verbal diarrhea of hypocrisy from the master. Say hi to Rush next time you call in.

35. Who said you were a wannabe
seems like you're the real thing to me.


This thread is about Patterson throwing his support behind the Islanders to save them from Evil Republican Clutched of Kate Murray.

You're filling the threa up with shit.

Like a Republican would do to deflect the conversation.

37. No, I'm not a Republican. It's not uncommon for people, after I pin their
asses in a corner during debate, yell and scream and call me a Republican.

I usually view the charge as a waving of the white surrender flag.

38. The only thing you've ever pinned
is that poor excuse you call a dick to the inside of your leg.

This thread was clearly about Gov patterson and the Lighthouse Project.

A project that evil Kate Murray has been trying to stimey for years.

You're deflecting the conversation onto bullshit.

44. Fact is Cboil is that I OWN YOU on this board
You haven't quite figured that out yet.

That what makes this whole exchange really funny.

I play with you like a cat plays with a mouse. It's really funny when it starts but I eventually get bored and move on.


Want proof that I own you?

You have at least three call out threads addressed to me on this board. I have none addressed to you.

Your point?

You thought the Sharks were gonna win a cup.

You thought the Frisco Chokers were contenders.

that the isles were getting the Sharks 26th overall draft pick.

I swear this guy bashed his head through his keyboard.

Every single post you put up winds up getting flung back in your face.

It's really funny.

You're a joke round these parts. Nothing more than a gloating punchline.

who lives in the Northeast using the term, "round these parts."

Too bad San Jose has none to boast of.

Oh, but you can get tickets for a league low of about $40 to watch that train wreck every season. Hope it's enough to pay a fossil like Rob Blake.

Maybe Claude Lemueiux will give you another go round when hes 52.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

proportion is gloating.

I feel it's constructive criticism.
