What "race" are you speaking of? There aren't other cities clamoring for an NFL team. Its just a matter or time before LA gets a team.Quote:

Translation: The kings won the Stanley Cup so we're selling high.
Except that the Kings are hardly the center point of this deal. I think it's purely coincidence that AEG is being sold following the Kings Stanley Cup run. I think it's a feather in their cap, but the bulk of the value is outside of the Kings franchise. AEG has built up what it considers a premiere entertainment destination. The economy is turning around. And now they want to cash in.Quote:

That's when you go out...on top. He might not survive another huge project like Los Angeles, so maybe... just maybe the guy wants to actually enjoy the rest of his life without the stress. Seriously, he rebuilt one of the biggest, most famous cities in the world. How do you top that?

On the assumption that a sale of AEG will require a name change, let's hope someone with a last name that begins with "K" is the buyer.
Oh what the hell, it's a fun bet, I will take it, just no Duck Avatars....Quote:
