Sometimes, I wake up and I have no answers. Just questions. Here is LVSportsBiz.com’s Top 10 questions for a rainy, Wednesday morning in early May.

 

One: If T-Mobile merges with Sprint, does the Golden Knights’ arena become the T-Mobile-Sprint Arena?

*

Two: With Golden Knights’ high-scoring forward William Karlsson sporting the best extension-free long hair in Las Vegas, when will his agent line up Wild Bill for a shampoo endorsement deal?

 

*

Three: With the Tampa Bay Lightning banning Boston Bruins fans from wearing Bruins logo gear in the lounge and club areas inside the Lightning’s arena, will the Golden Knights ban Sharks fans from wearing San Jose logo gear in premium seating areas at T-Mobile Arena for Game 5 Friday?

*

Four: With Legends part-owner Jerry Jones backing the Raiders move to Las Vegas, will the Raiders pick Legends for their new stadium’s food vendor job?
