@LofflerScott @MichaelKarvelis At this point I think @MichaelKarvelis is just trying to rage bait for views/clicks. There are teams in every professional league who find ways to retain top talent regardless of salary cap.

@MichaelKarvelis Dhane smith, Josh Byrne, Ian MacKay, Steve priolo, Chase Fraser…all drafted by Buffalo. So are we not supposed to draft well?

@MichaelKarvelis @AnythingLaxShow As you seem to be dodging other questions. Maybe you will answer this one. What is the downside of the owners being transparent with the people they are negotiating with?
English
@AnythingLaxShow 1) No, they do not have a TV deal. Canadian teams PAY for the TSN deal.
2) NLLPA has presented no valid reasons to show them the numbers, unless it’s “I don’t believe you.” They want fans to believe that suddenly, everything will be easy with some proof. Funny.
English
The players have not influenced a media deal. And the sooner people realize that the better.
There is NO money. And MOST of these owners do NOT care about the league.
We have to stop pretending this league is popular.
The Anything Lax Show@AnythingLaxShow
After listening to the last 2 @LaxClassPodcast, the owners are in the wrong. The players want a fair deal done and it's hard to get the best deal while also trying not to cripple teams. The owners need to show the Financials, We wouldn't be here if it was out in the open!
English
@ChewinJudas @MichaelKarvelis I’d be very surprised if Vegas isn’t in a better financial position now. But according to Michael, attendance and media deal are the only things that matter.
English
@Nuffsaid91 @MichaelKarvelis They can offer more consistent deals, a full time merch section of the arena store, and not being in the middle of a casino allows for more to be kept strictly in arena. Even if it was the same split, opportunity alone keeps money closer to the team, rather than out to Mandalay.

50% of the #NLL got bad attendance last year. If someone needs to see finances broken down to “negotiate in good faith,” they are plain stubborn.
Neuf@Nuffsaid91
@MichaelKarvelis You’ve seen the financials to confirm this?
English
@MichaelKarvelis @ChewinJudas If they got a better split of parking, food & Booze revenue. With cheaper rent at Lee’s they could absolutely be making more money despite a 20% reduction in attendance.
English
@ChewinJudas They still had to leave Michelob.
In 2025, Dogs averaged 5,057 at Lee’s, which was 1,300 less than 2024 at Michelob (6,350).
Saving money by using Lee’s (5,500 capacity anyways) is a good thing, but hard to believe LV made much money at all as a business.
English
@MichaelKarvelis If you can tell the full financials from 1 metric you must be rain man. Surely you understand the impact of salaries & yearly increases on the claimed $3m/year loss & total expenses then?
English
Idk who in the NLLPA needs to hear this, but there POINT BLANK PERIOD is no money. Because there’s no big media deal.
If this season doesn’t happen, there might not be a chance in the future to negotiate at all.

A very anti-NLLPA take on the CBA negotiations from Mike.
English
@AdamLeviLAX I mean, at least he admitted he knows nothing about contract negotiations? Might be the only factual thing in the rant. Whose payroll is he on? Said “we” about the nll a lot.
If he gives me his life savings I’ll 10x it in a month. Can’t provide anything to verify it though.

@Frat_Stafford @iamneilbarrett Box > NCAA/Field by a mile. PLL is a joke, can agree on that.
English
@iamneilbarrett Ever think everyone grows up playing and watching NCAA rules lacrosse so they dont wanna watch box/disney rules pll?
English
One of these days we are going to have a very uncomfortable conversation about the traditional "hotbeds".
It's this way in field, too.
The Rattlers left twice. The Bayhawks struggled to plant roots. The Atlas are visitors in NY. Homewood doesn't sell out.
It's crazy out here.

The Albany FireWolves are the 7th team NLL team based in New York State to fold or move. New York Saints (1989-2003) Rochester Knighthawks [original] (1995-2019) Syracuse Smash (1998-2000) Albany Attack (2000-2003) New York Titans (2007-2009) New York Riptide (2020-2024) Albany FireWolves (2022-2025) If you include the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey & Connecticut) they are the 10th NLL team from New York to fold or move. New Jersey Saints (1987-1988) New Jersey Storm (2002-2003) New England Black Wolves (2015-2020) The NLL has tried to make lacrosse they’ve in New York in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s. Only the cities of Buffalo and Rochester have managed to keep teams long term (and both of those cities have had periods where lacrosse survival was not a given).
