I get that for sure. It's a vanity project more than anything.
But I'm not sure I really buy the impatience angle. Many of them are smart business people, which requires some shrewdness and maturity. You'd think they'd prefer having multiple shots at winning a championship vs. pushing so many chips in all at once.
Of course not all owners are geniuses. Some have inherited wealth and frankly aren't that successful in other walks of life.
I think about the Treliving/James Neal buyout rumor. He wanted to buy out Neal and ownership said no supposedly. Who was the impatient one there?
