This could end up being the worst sports gambling scandal since the infamous Black Sox scandal of 1919.Among those whose names have surfaced in the case are King forward Jeremy Roenick and actress Janet Jones, the wife of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, as well as other current and former players.
Roenick was notified Tuesday that investigators want to interview him, league sources said. He was unavailable for comment after Wednesday night's game in Columbus.
I would hate to see that this is true, but it very well could be.
Oh, no.
Dissapointing if true. The real question comes down to did they (Gretzky, Tocchet) bet on hockey. If they did - see 'ya! To me, it makes no difference who you bet on, just like I don't think it makes a difference that Rose bet on his team to win.
Janet Jones bet $500,000 over a 6 week period! Wow, how could the 'Great One" not have known that? I have a feeling this story is going to have legs. No telling where it will go.
I bet he gets off.
I'll wager (bad pun I know) this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Does anybody suppose that this wiretap story is going to be connected to the NSA wiretap story currently occupying the front pages? Nah! After all, there are a lot of people that secretly wish that a powerful individual like Wayne Gretzky gets taken down, and they're not going to quibble over how it gets done.
The great one has fallen...what a terrible decision on his part to get involved like this.
This could end up being the worst sports gambling scandal since the infamous Black Sox scandal of 1919.No Janet Jones pics on this thread?
I got a real bad feeling about this. I am a Flyer fan from the glory days, and I fear some of them are messed up in this.
The NFL didn't take OJ out of it's Hall.
I'd like to know where this information is coming from before I jump on Gretzky.
When you are betting on the coin toss of the super bowl, you have a gambling problem.
