Fight On, Golden Knights!

Vegas Golden Knights official team name 

Owner Bill Foley announces decision five months after being awarded expansion franchise

The Vegas Golden Knights are officially the 31st team to join the NHL.

Exactly five months after Las Vegas was awarded an expansion team, owner Bill Foley announced the name and revealed the team logo Tuesday at Toshiba Place, just outside of T-Mobile Arena, where the Golden Knights will begin play in the 2017-18 season.

Before making the annoucement, Foley told the crowd what the name and logo would represent.

"Our logo and our name is really going to exhibit the highest element of the warrior class - the knight," Foley said. "The knight protects the unprotected. The knight defends the realm. The knight never gives up, never gives in, always advances, never retreats, and that's what our team is going to be."

You Have To Admit, He's Got A Cool Collection

This Guy's Car Fetish Is So Normal It's Actually Pretty Weird

When we heard from Hugie a few months ago, he had the NSX (106,150 miles), a Legend coupe (548,712 miles[!]), a Legend sedan (150,668 miles), a Vigor (106,293 miles) an early Integra GS-R (237,380 miles) and an ILX “daily driver” (183,721 miles).

All get used, all of them have manual transmissions.

But Hugie’s early birthday present to himself was an even deeper level of commitment to the Acura obsession– designing his garage to look an Acura dealership from the 1990’s to match the cars inside.

Some Non-Car Parts A Car Guy May Want

Absurdly Expensive Automotive Merchandise 

Ferrari Ceramic Ashtray: $75.00

Ferrari is one of the most egregious offenders when it comes to overpriced branded products. While the price tag on this ashtray does not leave it out of reach of the average person, it's hard to fathom spending three quarters of a Benjamin just so you can dump ashes on the symbol of your cherished brand.

Bentley Tergus 37 Candle: $85.87

At current exchange rates, this Bentley candle comes in at $85. For that lofty price, it offers a bizarrely complicated scent. Bentley puts it best:

"Captures leather in layers of spice with iris wood, vibrant saffron, black pepper and frankincense with precious woods; resting in a base of tonka beans, vanilla, and patchouli."

Is that what wealth smells like? Save yourself the cash and visit a Yankee Candle instead.

Lamborghini Carbon Fiber Bynomio Suitcase: $17,388.00

This suitcase is one way you could store your clothing on a long trip. Or you could buy a new Honda Fit and pay someone to drive your clothes to your destination. And you'll get 52.7 cubic feet of cargo space instead of 5.8.

Liberty eyes night F1 race in Las Vegas

A Formula 1 night race around Las Vegas has been singled out as a key target for the sport over the next few years by its new owners Liberty Media.

With the American company having taken a 19.1 percent stake in F1, it is evaluating how best to make the sport more attractive for fans and generate greater revenue.

Liberty has already talked about the possibility of a bigger calendar, but its CEO Greg Maffei has now spoken specifically about the desire for one venue to happen.

"I particularly like the idea of a night race in Las Vegas," Maffei said during the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecoms conference in Barcelona this week.

F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone held talks with interested parties from Las Vegas earlier this year about a potential second USA race there alongside Austin, but the discussions have not appeared to progress far.
