The Carolina Hurricanes home opener was last night and, so far, they’re undefeated!

Persistence nine name is Marty. They just hit me a certain way last night and I laugh just like Maniscalco for that man. Mike and I sit at the arena were separated by big pane of glass so I was listening into the broadcast. In the third. From my perch on the fifth floor and I heard that and I just II burst. I burst laughter out over the people were sitting. Whatever the section is the loss I don't think I showered with my laughter, but I burst laughter at that and I was like, since it was just struck me as funny and I don't. Mike was the thought I was being sarcastic or not much really appreciated my love of that but it was authentic.

It was very authentic at all. I just say that I thought mages was really really good last night and part of it was that he was incredibly persistent last night and that was it. I just loved it shouts through something like that. Good start to the hurricane season will will obviously discuss it at least a little bit maybe comes up in the listenable. There is listenable out there for you. Say right now, here are your choices. The undefeated Carolina hurricanes find the line yet. The sorriest NFL franchise. I can think of one I can think of more than one II think there's only one that really qualifies for this discussion that happened at ACC basketball tipoff yesterday about Sue expanding the should is a loaded part of that question will is probably a better question will they not sure day. We all know know they shouldn't because for those people who follow college basketball closely enough they will all tell you the same thing, not from the mouths of coaches that view NCAA tournament bids as job security, but as people who watch the game. We understand this, there are exactly 0 were the teams left out no teams that make the that do not make the NCAA tournament zero of those teams and that if we event diagram were the teams of the NCAA tournament unworthy teams of the incidentally tournament and then the circle of who's in the NCAA tournament.

Some of the teams were in the unworthy get lumped in because 68 is a lot so forget about should will they cordially are going to money so talk about that and another option for you. The victory bill. The battle of the victory bill will they painted light blue again or will it be royal blue. That's what I soon do blue is roiled Carolina blue or Duke blue us.

Those are your options in the listenable other than that nothing earth shattering, other than we have an NFL owner who is apparently compiling a dossier on other NFL owners and the commissioner yeah this is first of all, predictable and hysterical at the same time is like a housewives and fill in the blank episodes is so good it is. The funny thing is that what was reported today at ESPN we are going to discuss it is. While I have not been reporting this.

I have simply been saying Daniel Snyder must know something so let's get the other things and then we'll talk about the commandos will appreciate hurricanes bids on Twitter follow me on Twitter at Eagle fan listen to the morning-after podcast the 25th anniversary podcast because I received more than just a few mentions yesterday. I hope you're going to say you can't go 82 and no without first going one and yes so I mean that's just a true statement. Hurricanes are want to know 82 auto still alive. All of them say slow start last night for the euro your heroes of the Columbus was the better side in the first 20 minutes they were better than we were more dangerous to Carolina didn't have some chances, but Columbus is better Patrick Lyon a scores 11 seconds into the second really good play by Zach Kerensky at the just inside the blue line to get the puck loose from yes, per Fost. I guess were in ski did deflected so he gets a desist lien. He picks it up and drift across to the just to the right side and beats Freddie Anderson blocker side 41. Nothing five minutes in one second later Seth Jarvis.

I didn't steal the pocket was given to him by Jack Roslyn Vick of the blue jackets kind of a ridiculous behind the back line pass to Seth Jarvis who brought it out from behind the goal line back and flip for 11 and that was basically it for Columbus.

They did have a couple chances.

In fact they scored a power-play, but the power-play goal was called off burst of Albrecht Pesci didn't really commit a penalty still at the penalty box, but the other plate was offside and based account of the goal and then Rod went what they challenged it quick challenge. No problem no goal goal of the board and then there was a really really good chance with about a minute 45 left in the. Maybe a shade more and Columbus Justin for Justin Dan for the young forward had a 21 lead on his racket and it didn't work out, and they paid the price on the backhand side had the entire net Freddie Anderson was laying on his belly and Danforth only had elevated over the goalie and it's a goal and he kind of poked it right in Freddie knocked it loose and it went the other way and then Brady Shea ends up with the goal goal good shot deflected on the way and by think my words anyway.secure a lot of the fortunate theirs because they probably should have been trailing to one half.

Instead, they were leading to one and Columbus was broken at that point in the third period was utterly dominant. Carolina was all over them and that was that Rod Brind'Amour after the game, opening his press conference goes to great start early kind of expected that to you for your patience again free play really well basis and again. Start looking more released to go to surgery. Yeah, it's a couple chances here and everything.

What about 10 minutes without a shot on goal Columbus Carolina was absently dominant in the third. And I think you saw. Even though Columbus is pretty talented. You saw the big gap between the two teams in terms of depth. Couple of things that I thought were really important last night. More teenagers played a great game in in the arena. He was the first dark as he had three points, yet the goalie or to assist Freddie Anderson was the best player. No question about Freddie.

That game could have been three nothing Columbus and it was one nothing Columbus the first say 34 minutes enough to 24 May 31 24 minutes could've been three nothing. Columbus was one nothing and then he made some big saves.

Even at 11. So to me. Freddie Anderson was the best player natures is great.

I love Jim Chatfield last night. This mean defensemen develop differently than other positions. So sometimes when a guy isn't necessarily a prospect, but has some tools maybe become something I don't know if that's happening with Chatfield, but what was evident last night was he's fast.

Yes and some of their other defensemen options on the third pair are not fast jailing Chatfield is like IDV got a little ornery last night loved what I saw.

I thought that Brady Shea and Brett Pesci were amazing last night. First of all source. Leavitt and Burns but it just became more of a Shea and Pesci show.

By the way two guys with sounds in their name right without SH. Both of them.

I found that on a wide about the things that I do, but they were combined, +7 wow Pesci was a plus for awesome already leading the NHL and I thought the fourth line was great at the Derek step on and I admit that I am the driver on the Derek step on bandwagon, but he was great last night and so was Jordan Martin look they were. They were a handful for Columbus to deal with and help to create the natures goal, but they had other opportunities. They each led the team with three individuals, three great a scoring chances not surprised that they didn't score because Derek step on good morning. But step on at the highest expected goals for anybody on the team. It was that Carolina was certainly an SECNAV again. Carolina was the dominant side right now to the Carolinas off today they play tomorrow in San Jose.

Only a 1030 start. I'm already tired to go check out Kinsler Park as morning-after dish drop this morning actually drop last night about 1145 and it's got an interview with Tom Doug, so soft talk with the owner asked him about the future if he has thought about two years down the road. The future of the hurricanes roster and he said yup. So that's that's probably of all the stuff we talked about the way Tom views the roster should be the most encouraging to hurricanes fans and there's a lot of other good things in there, but I thought that that was a good part of the conversation I saw a great story on ESPN about Dan Snyder and when I say great I mean this is an incredible eye opening cringe worthy story and I like 2000 words into the stories they Lord Jesus out because there's a lot of crap when it comes to Daniel Snyder but a great great work done by Seth Wickersham, Don Van Nada and Tisha Thompson. There was a time were ESPN didn't you take down stories well, especially takedown of NFL fans, but this is exceptionally well done. So the thrust of it is this Daniel Snyder has dirt on other NFL owners and Roger Goodenow, the Commissioner and that's why Daniel Snyder appears to be untouchable in the eyes of both in terms of getting rid of him as an old shade in the NFL.

Interesting point. First of all, and this is not to disparage the oh. The group of owners right because I'm sure that there are some owners in the NFL that aren't dirtbags when it comes to how they made their money and who they hurt along the way, without giving a day, you know, there's plenty of Jimmy Haslam's in the league who who essentially swindled customers.

There is plenty of stand crime keys of the world that screwed up community to move to a richer environment. Even though the community was willing to do everything they needed to do what he needed them to do and the Commissioner was willing to live for him. I will point out that in the most recent investigation and I say most recent because there have been more than one into the conduct of Daniel Snyder and the Washington commandos in the most recent investigation which dealt with the cheerleaders and the workplace environment.

Roger Bendel allowed the report to not be written. There is no other situation on this earth, you would have a full-scale investigation and not have a written report help of it unless Roger Caddell was like yeah and which is connected to a very big deal. I look Roger Caddell burned the tapes when the patriots got involved in spiking the burned up. Why He burned this just get rid of the evidence will care criminal investigation to link investigation to do is one in the Commissioner can apparently doing what but there clearly protecting Daniel Snyder but the story goes to great lengths to show that Daniels liked it. Daniel Snyders, walking around, muttering to himself that he can't touch me if those Mafia, which frankly I don't necessarily think is wrong no, but not the same for a long time. There's a reason why they don't get rid of them because they could and definitely I I'm not going down without taking you and that's what he said there would be collateral damage and his collateral damage. According to sources Jerry Jones Roger to Dell and I'm not even saying that I don't believe that, as I believe it but I believe those two men are bad news, but I have no idea, but I believe the Daniel Snyder has that infra-information because he is that God Seth Wickersham who joined Mike Greenberg on get up to discuss. I mean Snyder's not going down without a fight right this is out there now. This is been reported as you say, other owners and other executives have been aware of the existence of at least him saying things things before so what should we expect to happen now set welders league meetings in New York and downtown New York next Tuesday and will see one of the most interesting things is that it takes three quarters of owners to vote out in owner, the owners don't think that that the rest of the owners were matted and they and even over this. I don't know if they think they can get the 24 but they consider creative ways maybe of trying to force the team into the hands permanently of his wife, Tanya, and one of them is kind of an interesting technical thing, but they would jam him on the debt limit waiver when owners build stadiums.

They typically take out a lot of debt delete has strict rules over how much debt they can carry out most people think of Dan Snyder cannot write a check for a new stadium in the DC area and would need those debt limit waivers, including the loans that the league often offers and owners of talked about not permitting him those waivers as a way is a backdoor way to try to transfer permanent ownership to Tonya. Remember in owners and executives really clear about this. When Donald Sterling had to let go of the clippers years ago. It wasn't because fellow owners voted him out was because his wife removed him from the family trust. So I think they're looking at Tonya Snyders. Maybe someone that they can transfer ownership permanently to respect and enjoy working with his wife like my mentality to me if you will get to family is a good Snyder. This is the dumbest thing ever thought about making sell the team. Here's the thing we worth more money to the National Football League of somebody not named Daniel Snyder or Tonya Snyder were the owners of the Washington commandos stop calling commandos actually awoke as the stupid name but they're worth $5.8 billion.

Now it's the fifth most valuable franchise in the National Football League should be second should be behind Dallas Dallas is one number two is New England.

There is zero reason other than recent success. Why New England is worth more than Washington 5.6 billion, no, no, that's a million mentally I like, I can say anything said gazillion for I know there's no reason why Washington is worth less than New England and I could see Chicago interesting. Interestingly enough and I wanted to talk about this anyway that's tonight's matchup Thursday night football. Yes, you've got Washington at Chicago all I could think of was 35 years ago this was an awesome game. Absolutely.

I mean, this game will be a Super Bowl yet because about me is it awesome game. 35 years ago today to hysterically bad franchise. No one cares right will see that that's the that's the weird part is that those two fan bases care yeah Bears fans and commandos fans. They care about. That's waning in Washington now seems that your fans will tell you when it's time for you to go as an owner you are telling Dan Snyder it's time for you to go, but Dan Snyder doesn't give a damn. He doesn't care at all. It's his teammates. His toy is also at one point, like the fresh face of NFL owners Paul Tagliabue once called him the perfect owner. Yikes. How how long did you get. I mean, he is the worst he's the worst owner. He's the worst human among all and that's a tough thing to do in the NFL is to be the worst human being owner that stands up, that is an accomplishment.

Congratulations to you Daniel Snyder. It's is just gotta get it. They have to get rid of him and if you can't get 24 owners to say yeah let's vote the dude out you can get 24 that Daniel Snyder does have dirt on you and he does have dirt on Roger Caddell. That's the only logical explanation and more people need to be out all yes. But it's not going to happen. It's not can happen there knocking about Dennis L aren't real. I want to have a conversation. This is not just NFL franchises, although if you look at the most valuable NFL franchises illustrates me about that. Most of them are bad teams while yeah Dallas is one Dow's not Bedell's very good Dell's potentially excellent.

A potential Super Bowl champion this year.

No joke. Number two is New England now getting cut them some slack.

There were I don't think they're very good at all and I today had really been good for a few years, but okay we get it. Number three I believe was Chicago or maybe the Giants the performer Chicago and the Jets rethink five. The Washington was by the judge, like six is a lot of bad football teams who are incredibly valuable, which means that we have to figure out a way to incentivize being good right because it looked like the valuable teams can't all suck. Yet Dallas Cowboys New England Patriots Los Angeles Rams very good but the only read the ribs is a franchise not all that the just in LA and Sophia stadium which is basically their self Giants. The Giants and then the Bears and the Bears in the commandos man Jets right there yeah 49ers is a good 49 is a good now.

The writers rate is back, then the Eagles is a good real real quick brazen Padres evened up their series yesterday.

Atlanta shut out Philly three mill Padres evened out things with the Dodgers. They 153.

They lost 53 in game one Seattle is in Houston this afternoon.

Yankees will host Cleveland tonight. Astros lead their series one nothing Yankees lead bears one nothing.

So there
