Don't look now but 2 of the three Pegula-owned teams are very very good, with a third on its way.

BOILING HOT TAKE:

If he wasn’t uncle of an NHL star with the same name, almost no one would care.

I knew this Tavares first. I remember watching the team with him on it win a championship for Buffalo. I felt pride.

I am definitely one of the almosts.

He's also the all-time leading scorer of the league. 

[Contempt]

Yeah, he was my entry level John Tavares too.  I was interested in the second one because of the first one.

[Pimlach]

It is very safe to say that the Lacrosse John Tavares is the more impactful one.   

[Sabres Fan in NS]

I have to believe that @Curt issued his boiling hot take with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

If not, then it's not only boiling hot, but a terrible take too.

Or just from someone younger than us.

I’m assuming you missed the Bandits first decade.  Noone that witnessed the Bandits first 10 years has this take.

BOILING HOT TAKE UPDATE:

I’m not from and have never lived in western New York.  I’m also not someone who has ever followed lacrosse.

Wow, he's a GOAT in the Lacrosse world, arguably the greatest NLL player of this generation.

Yeah, I’ve been told he is the greatest lacrosse player in recent history.  I just don’t think many people care about pro lacrosse at all.  It’s what, the 10th or 11th most popular pro sport in the US?

football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, tennis, nascar, F1, golf, MMA, boxing?, horse racing?, bowling?, cricket?

Uhh, no. He was one of the greatest lacrosse players ever, a member of the Bandits and now their coach, and he's the best at his job. That's why we care.

You know what else no one cares about? The Buffalo Sabres, yet here we all are.

Well the NLL has been around since what 1987? And still going on today so more than a few people are watching it. I've been to about 20 Bandits games in my time and had the privilege to watch Tavares play, he was as advertised and until you mentioned it I had no clue he was the brother of the Hockey player.

It would be funnier if it was two brothers both named John Tavares.

Yeah, probably that too.  It’s ok, sometimes hot takes can bring a lot of heat.

A better hot take would be he’s one of only three people who’s name belongs in the rafters.

Good for JT. If you don’t care about the sport, This is non news to you.
