There will soon be pizza vending machines in America

If all goes plan, Italy’s next contribution to American culture will be pizza from a vending machine. It looks like it’s a real thing, as PizzaMarketplace talked with the company’s CEO, who says it’s been such a success in Italy and in Europe that they’re going to expand to American soil this year.

The dough is made in 2 minutes, then it’s topped and cooked in an infrared oven, and comes out “untouched by human hands” in less than 3 minutes. According to the amazing video (above) , it is “a healthy genuine Italian pizza … with a guarantee of total hygiene.” Total hygiene, people. Suggested retail is $5.95.

A pizza made in less than 3 minutes by a robot. No long lineups and disgusting pizza maker sneezing on your pie.You just got to love technology. We'll soon be all replaced by robots.

The Blue Jays' season is over without Morrow

Brandon Morrow has to be the one player that the Jays get by without him in the lineup. They have survived without their closer and still playing above .500. Without Bautista or Encarnacion in the lineup they wouldn't manufacture as many runs but with all the young bats in the organization they would get by. If any other starter went down they would still be able to get by. But Morrow has been a star for much of the season. In many games he has been unhittable and as intimidating as any starter in the AL. With him in the rotation no losing streak goes longer than 4 games. They can get by with another youngster in the rotation too. But they will also drop out of contention for one of the wild car spots.

Now everyone in the media will be telling you how Alex A. has to go out and trade for another arm. Reporters covering sports teams like to pretend how they are managing the team. Well it ain't going to happen. The one thing I can tell you about Alex A. is that he sticks to his plan - build his roster through players in the farm system. He's not going to throw away some good and cheap talent for a bandaid pitcher. The Jays manager never considered his team to be contender this year - just too much young talent needing seasoning. So young farm hands will get a chance to show their stuff just like Gomes, Cooper and Hutchison have been given that chance.

So kiss 2012 goodbye. It was always a pipe dream anyway.

So Dustin Brown you just won the Stanley Cup. How do you feel?

Brian Burke has a bit of dilemma in rebuilding the Leafs

To be honest I like most people have been confused by Brian Burke's plan to rebuild the Maple Leafs over the past 4 years. It seems there is no real plan. At times he is trading draft picks for what he describes as building blocks and other times he is collecting draft picks. He dips in the free agent market for second or third tier players to avoid a mega contract.

To date his biggest success has been trading for Joffrey Lupul and Jake Gardner. Despite avoiding the long-term contracts, he has still burdened himself with bad contracts. The team is younger but necessarily better and not a single Burke draft pick is regular on the Leafs.

After watching the NHL playoffs I wonder what direction Burke will go. The game seemed to have evolved into a terrible place. The fast, skilled offensive teams were pretty much swept aside by the clogging, blocking defensive teams. It seems Burke has been focused on increasing the skill level of the Leafs with the likes of Phil Kessel, Joffrey Lupul, Clarke MacArthur, Matthew Lombardi, Mikhail Grabovski, John-Michael Liles and Jake Gardner with little success.

So will he switch gears? Isn't Randy Carlyle more of a defensive-minded coach anyway? All I know is that Burke has just one year left to make things happen. He claim that he can't be held responsible for 45 years of disappointment but the past 4 years are all his doing.

Are the Phoenix Coyotes close to being sold? Maybe not.

The Glendale City Council approved a 20-year lease agreement with the Coyotes on Friday, clearing the last major hurdle in the sale of the team to a group led by former San Jose Sharks CEO Greg Jamison.

The 20-year, $325 million lease deal, which will pay Jamison an average of $16.25 million annually for operation of Jobing.com Arena and other responsibilities, was ratified by a 4-2 vote on Friday after a meeting of more than six hours that was attended by Jamison and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.

Approval of the lease agreement should clear the way for Jamison's group to buy the team, ending a three-year excruxiating journey that's included bankruptcy, failed deals with other prospective owners and the team being operated by the league.

According to a study commissioned by Glendale, the city would pay Jamison $203 million and bring in $45 million in revenue, leaving a huge gap. The study also calculated what it would cost the city should the Coyotes leave, estimating about $177 million in operating costs for Jobing.com Arena without an anchor tenant. The city would still have to pay off the loan that was acquired to originally build the arena, with the payment amount cited at $13.8 million annually.

Then there is the Goldwater Institute - the Arizona protector of the public purse. Goldwater tried to stop this deall, filing a request for a temporary restraining order Friday morning to prevent the vote while contending that the city violated the Arizona open meetings law by failing to make public all documents related to the lease. A judge denied the restraining order, saying the court lacked the jurisdiction to do so, but added that there appeared to be violations of a 2009 court order requiring Glendale to provide Goldwater with all documents related to negotiations between the Coyotes and a prospective buyer in a timely manner.

The fight is not likely over yet. This is a letter sent to the Mayor and Councilmember from the Goldwater Institute prior to the vote last week. Stay tuned.
