Coyotes Courtroom Drinking Game! (Do not use at court)


I don't even drink and this whole mess has me seriously considering crawling into a bottle (not really, no intervention needed). What about those people that DO drink though? Shouldn't we think of them? They've got to be going nuts in that courtroom. Well here's a Handy guide to what to do and when in the Five for Howling - Courtroom Drinking Game!

  • Everytime Susan Freeman sounds like she's going to cry - take a drink.
  • Anytime the judge mentions how much paper the lawyers have filed - take a drink.
  • When the Judge says not to repeat points the lawyers have submitted in writing just to have the lawyer talk about the exact point anyways - Take 2 Drinks.
  • If the PSE attorneys try to get the Judge to let Jim Balsillie testify - Take 2 drinks.
  • Whenever the courtroom rolls their eyes at an attorney's arguement - take a drink.
  • If the Judge tells a PSE attorney they talk too much - Take 2 drinks
  • Any time someone mentions how great Canada or Hamilton is - One Shot Canadian Whiskey.
  • Anytime an actual reporter tweets something complaining about proceedings - take a drink.
  • Anytime the bid gets raised - Take two drinks.
  • If a reporter mentions standing next to, or running into Bettman or Balsillie in the restroom - Take a drink
  • If it's the second time the reporter has mentioned it ... -  take 2 drinks
  • The person who notices Rodier talking to Freeman gets to make anyone else drink.
  • If the Judge asks a hypothetical question - Take a drink
  • Any time someone brings up Balsillie's "Character" - Take a drink

Every time someone crashes a party they throw him out. I’m sure you’re hoping that’s the case with Balsilly.

Now lemme see those dukes Odin!

School does not stop me! The only thing stopping me is the inability to acquire a drink for another 30 minutes. I will be in the back of the classes all day.

New rule

All drinking shall be doubled if I show up wearing an obviously cheap suit.

by JimBalsillie on Sep 10, 2009 10:56 AM MST reply actions   0 recs

alright then...

everyone should be drunk by now. not only was the suit cheap, so were the shoes. Not to mention ugly, which is a double fail & therefore is grounds for a chug.

by C13TheDiva on Sep 10, 2009 7:34 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

When someone writes a new article/post/whatever claiming hockey will never work in Phoenix and that Hamilton deserves a team:

1. Down whatever bottle your drinking.
2. Call hospital to reserve appointment to deal with alcohol poisoning.

Being a Leaf fan here requires one to be sufficiently lubricated... and truculent!

Got my drink in hand. Let ’er rip. Feel free to let me know when to drink.

New addition!

If TheYotesDiva tweets about getting cooties from shaking hands with Bettman or Balsillie, take a drink. Double if she mentions them both.

Two more drinks for me!

Kevin McGran just yawned over Twitter. Drink!

I’m not getting this $50M nonsense. Glendale has established that it will only lose money if the team stays, but refuses to take money from Balsillie to have the team leave. Is this all about Jobing now?

by Ryan Classic on Sep 10, 2009 11:49 AM MST up reply actions   0 recs

Judge Baum just said that Jobing.com Arena would be horrible for basketball. I thought he’d never been to a Coyotes game. What did he see there? Elton John? System of a Down? Monster trucks?

ryanclassic.net

by Ryan Classic on Sep 10, 2009 12:08 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

Did the judge really just declare that he might not sell the team to either of them? Who gets the team then? I knew he just wanted it for himself. Team president Redfield T. Baum.

If the NHL’s lawyers can’t remember the name Copps Coliseum, the NHL should sponsor it and rename if Jobing.ca Arena. I don’t know if there’s a Jobing.ca, though. Heck, I don’t even know what Jobing.com is. Who puts .com in an arena name? Monster doesn’t call it Monster.com Park. It’s just Monster Park.

ryanclassic.net

by Ryan Classic on Sep 10, 2009 1:09 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

yeah, but Monster sounds cool and tough all by itself. Jobbing has such unpleasant connotations. oh wait…unpleasant and confusing, reminds of this whole situation. perhaps the arena name was foreshadowing

by Sundoggirl on Sep 10, 2009 1:46 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

Candlestick Park was part of San Francisco’s heritage, and now it’s Monster Park. Cool and tough? I guess, but I’d rather have the history (note: I lived in San Francisco for a year). Were there any alternatives to Jobing.com? I’m guessing the name rights didn’t help with the losses much.

25 minutes until we begin again. I’m out of drink for another hour plus.

I’m sorry, I need to hark back to something here. What’s so bad about PSE paying $50-60k for relocation fee analysis? I’m sure I can find hypocrisy for the NHL somewhere here…

Zimbalist sounds like a made up musical instrument. I therefore conclude that he does not exist.

Maybe the tweets aren’t doing it justice, but my brain got more overloaded by a Psychology class than the Coyotes trial. Perspective is key.

It’s probably not a good idea for the NHL to call an expert up only to have him say the added revenue from Hamilton would be good for the league. Just saying.

This Fisher guy seems to be doing a pretty crap job at aiding the Coyotes. “Do you agree with the value of the team?” “No, it’s way lower.” Smart move, NHL.

that should be it.

if not, go on the yotes main page, there’s a link on the righthand side

at the moment, kings up 1-0 on a goal from first round pick Brayden Schenn

by estrogenacide on Sep 10, 2009 2:24 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

2-0, both goals for Schenn

He’s really looking to live up to his 5th overall pick status, yeesh…

Could there be a larger netting around the entire rink? I feel like I’m watching behind a fence.

I’d be pounding drinks for GP at this point if not for some stupid little rules in this other desert.

One thing that I don’t see getting more than a cursory hand waive is the fact that the two other groups withdrew their bids citing lack of time to reach an agreement with Glendale, not that there wasn’t an agreement to be made. Any negotiation with a government landlord is going to be a time consuming effort …. then the councils get involved for approval. A couple of weeks before a Balsillie/Moyes/Baum induced deadline just wasn’t enough time.

by 101st on Sep 10, 2009 5:27 PM MST reply actions   0 recs

Totally agree.

It’s not like the groups said that Phoenix was terrible or the economics didn’t work out. It’s the fact that negotiating with a city take a ton of time. Faster is better for creditors, but when government gets involved everything slows to a snails pace.

oh come on

Balsillie has never let facts get in the way of his reality. He will do whatever it takes to get an NFL, oops I mean NHL team. He probably wishes the Washington Nationals were still the Hartford Whalers so he could buy them instead.

Wow, this game may actually get you drunk enough to think the coyotes have a chance of staying in Phoenix

There done no matter who wins. This year if Jimmy Balls wins, next if the NHL wins. At least Jimmy is being honest about it.
