Re: Maine
I'm not going to speculate about the financial bottom-lines re: any Maine sports... And I'm pretty sure that none of us on here have the data to discuss that topic with any accuracy. None of us have access to the books, would be my guess.
Having said that, football has been worth more money to me than has hockey for a while now. (Not a lot of bang for the buck, granted, but hockey hasn't returned one thin dime in the net since Red was hired, while football absolutely has. It's been very easy to decide where to spend money and drive for miles to see Blue lately.)
It's clear to me that if hockey is to be resurrected, the very first move is to dump Red... That's as clear as glass to me, has been for years, and is logically irrefutable.
When he's gone, this discussion might make more sense. Right now, not so much. It might be less about the allocation of resources in Maine sports than it is about the hires, and Red was an awful choice, yet Maine doubled-down on that one.
I'll never figure that one out. Talk about "throwing good money after bad".
