Fortune Magazine did an interview with Ding-dong last month and began the reporting with Bettman tripe about how he has quadrupled revenues, set records in attendance…you know, the same old bull from his lackies. Part of our problem with The Dufus may stem from the fact that he is still learning how to use all his electronic gadgetry. “I track scores all the time” was one quote attributed to the former NBA stooge. Well, isn’t that just peachy. Tracking scores. Next thing you know he’ll be looking at the standings! He also said he carries a rulebook with him at all times. Isn’t that reassuring! Further along in the interview little man was asked what his favorite trip would be and he responded “Australia”. Now I like Aussie land and have nothing against anyone from that great continent, but do you think we could convince them to ask Sir Screwsupalot to start a hockey league down there? They have desert and fans that don’t know a hockey stick from a burro. He’d be great (again, in his own mind). I’m afraid if he sticks around the states much longer there’s going to be “shrimp on the barbie”.
