I have been posting alot less because of the circus like atmosphere that has been created, however the Controversy i read is Great Stuff in the whole skeem of things, and the internal stories from the past like this one is what keeps me coming back weather you like it or not! Ha! I have to say CB that Point Blank has been very entertaining to say the least!

CB's "Spano" story is a perfect example of it. But I'm not here to judge. There are people in our world who have no problem to jeopardize their (and all others aroud them) reputation in order to make ugly but quick money out of it. It's upsetting but not surprising.

The funny thing is with everything that is going on now with the Lighthouse question mark and the rebuild and whether they will fold or move, it still seems "calmer" these days, somehow. Calmer drama....?? lol The changes this organization has been through over the years is just amazing.

So he sucked last year, he's got his game together recently, and because of that, we should have committed to him for five years? That's crazy.

When he did that interview a year ago with Mike and the Mad Dog (the infamous Jim the Engineer show) Wang said you should try to win it every year. Which struck me as a wrong goal and I hope Snow has convinced him to build with youth to make a run 2-3 years from now.

This is why some of us older fans can at least handle a youth movement for a short time, because we know what to expect. But I would like to point out that we may be near the bottom of the salary floor, when Wang fist started out in 2000-2001, he always wanted to be in the middle of the cap which, ironically, is now our cap floor. So he's been consistent in the 40+ million cap range every year. All the former owners would have gutted this team 7 years ago. Great story CB.
