Goldeyes owner eyes new stadium lease pitch from city

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

After threatening to play hardball in negotiations with former Winnipeg mayor Sam Katz over the renewal of the lease on the Shaw Park site, a council committee has opted to throw a change-up. "We'll start doing some number-crunching and see what makes sense, and whether it works or not," Katz told reporters Monday. Councillors on the property and development committee dramatically moved key city hall negotiating positions: reducing the administration's proposed annual lease rate to $50,000 from $150,000 (based on $10,000 per month on a five-month independent league baseball season) and asking for a 10 per cent share of revenues from two nearby city-owned parking lots (instead of the original position of reclaiming both). The committee instructed the administration to resume negotiations with Katz using the new terms as a starting point, with a status report due in 120 days or sooner, if the situation warrants.

https://ift.tt/5x1sACw PHILADELPHIA — Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is still not in his best form yet.

As one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL, Carter is expected to take over games, but that didn’t happen against the Chiefs. “He had some good rushes, but he needs to round into better shape,” Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said on Tuesday. “Both he and I have talked about that. He readily admits that. I think we’ll even get more (out of him). For everything that has gone on in his world, I thought he played pretty good.” Carter amassed two tackles and three quarterback hits, while playing 80% of the snaps. He has the talent to be more productive. Last year, Carter became an unstoppable force after ...

Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane ready to take on English rivals in Champions League

https://ift.tt/SwpIz0O Bayern Munich star Harry Kane cannot wait to hit the grass at the Allianz Arena to face off with Chelsea FC in the Champions League. “We back ourselves to beat any team at the Allianz Arena. It’s up to you [journalists] and fans to decide who are the favourites. We’re feeling very good right now. If we want to beat Chelsea, we have to perform at our peak. It will be a tough and great game. Chelsea did very well at the Club World Cup and right now in the Premier League,“ said Kane (as captured by @iMiaSanMia ). When asked about the statement made by Uli Hoeneß, Kane respectfully disagreed. “A club like Bayern always expects to win every competition. I wouldn’t say we’re underdogs, even though we’re playing against the best teams in Europe. Now begins a long journey, hopefully until May. I don’t want to look too far ahead. We want to be as high as possible in the league phase table. It all starts tomorrow,” Kane said. Harkening back to last season’s Champions...
