I don’t get why Bettman is rejecting Jim Balsille. Does he have a personal vendetta against him? I feel for the fans in Hamilton as they ar getting hosed by this crook we call a commisioner. If it is a racial issue as Bob, then I will really be sick. I know he wants to keep a team in Phoenix, but you need to cut your losses. I did read an ESPN the Magazine article about how they players think there should be another team in Canada. It’s just awful if you ask me.

Wakey wakey!
Bettman is a crook! He has got away with this crap, including accepting Reinsdorf’s lower bid chasing Balsillie away because he is of Lebanese extraction(you better believe it) from both Nashville and Phoenix who offered more than anyone.
Maybe you actually know little about an obvious scam artist first class. Comes from same NYC as Madoff! Brother out of his same mother or 1/2 brother is Jeffrey Pollock the commisioner of the world series of poker. at hotel in vegas owned by maloof an owner in nba when bettman worked there. ever hear of pete rose? ruled off in baseball for alledgedly betting on baseball – ban in effect still today. but bettman allowed tocchet to coach a nhl team after pleading guilty to taking and carrying bets for a bookmaker less than a year after he did it. but when he took that leave of absense from gretzkys phoenix he appeared on the world series of poker of bettmans half brother. same world series of poker bettman wants hockey players to work with. poker is gambling. gretzky his wife(yeah right) supposedly bet $10,000 on super bowl coin tosses – so just what does HE bet when he has inside information or can do something about the outcome. you know it is tough to win, but if you want to lose and you have control its very easy to lose on purpose.
did the insane 3rd point (in some games) appear because bettman wanted exciting shootouts for the fans? OR REALLY because he wanted there to be a winner and a loser as hockey was a bad betting sport in vegas with all those tie games? use your head! he was the ONLY big league pro commissioner in usa even in favor of proline/lotto betting on his sport and now wants a team in VEGAS as well.
and the way he has brought in names like del baggio, the islanders owner who then was found out, the anaheim owner who just beat a rap on a technicality, etc., wants a team in vegas, and his obvious love of having a superstars like crosby’s team go as far as possible for his little nbc deal as in his midget sized body’s mind he thinks millions of americans who couldn’t care less about hockey especially in the summer and never watch it ever would suddenly watch it because crosby is supposed to play? and how he underhandedly dealt with balsillie and nashville and phoenix and quebec and winnipeg and how even i heard the dwarf last year on a san jose playoff telecast say “we will be strict and call all penalties in these playoffs”para. BUT as they say a good liar first must have a good memory and forgets and says the other day “we never tell the refs what to do.”

Another tease for loyal Jets fans. We feel badly for the sports fans of Hamilton who must be gnashing their teeth as they read this, but its our team and we want it back. Make it 7! I was in a sports cap store today in Buffalo and there were 8 syles of caps for the Winnipeg Jets and not one for the Coyotes. They’re done in Arizona. Bring them home!
