But you’d be wrong! It doesn’t say anything about Maui at all, in fact. Which makes sense, since Nelson will be in Las Vegas with the team (just as he was last year) — he just won’t be sitting on the bench and calling plays.
I’m guessing at this point that “Kurt Helin” is actually some kind of Borat-like prank on sports journalism, since it’s hard to imagine anyone being this uninformed on purpose.

Or was he looking for one last paycheck from the (deservedly) parting ownership?
