I heard Jeremy get interviewed by Howard Eskin for half an hour yesterday afternoon on the radio about this "quote". This story is basically a media "scoop" where Jeremy was asked a question following a few beers with the boys at a golf outing and Jeremy gave a passionate, long-winded answer to a question about the strike. The local sports-talk media took a soundbite from that answer and used it out of context. Surprise. surprise. They do it all the time around here. It's why I have always admired the Steve Carlton approach.

Hey Jeremy! How's that jaw of yours? It seems to be flapping again!

``We don't want you at the rink, we don't want you in the stadium, we don't want you to watch hockey,''

Well, thanks to your greed, that is exactly what EVERYONE did... way to go imbicile.

``We don't want you at the rink, we don't want you in the stadium, we don't want you to watch hockey,'' he said

That's one for the ages. Actually, even though I'm a big NFL fan, I wouldn't mind if all pro sports went this way. It's turned into too much of a religion for too many people.

The guy is a public relations genius. What a puck brain. Hope the whole league goes down the tubes and these guys can get a job at the local convenience store.

``We don't want you at the rink, we don't want you in the stadium, we don't want you to watch hockey,'' he said

Okay Jeremy. Your wish is my command.

``I know we are going to give up probably more than any union has ever given up in the history of (professional) sports and, to me, I think that's enough to bring the fans back -- to know what their players are going to give up as much as they have in the last year,'' Roenick said.

Enough to bring the fans back ...? Wrong.

[aculeus]

What the hell is hockey?

[rollo tomasi]

I think Roenick needs some of that 'old time religion' known as Scientology.

The guy is hanging over the cliff, Scientology will guarantee a leap off the cliff into the land of nuttiness and fruitcakes.

Sounds good to me. I will continue not going to the games. And I had really enjoyed seeing the Columbus Blue Jackets host all of the NHL teams when they used to visit Columbus.

O well, I am sure that this great hockey star is right and I will not buy my season Tickets next year or any other year in the future. Wow! He just saved me a lot of money and created lots of time for people who actually want me in their stadium, field, etc.

Jeremy, it's not just that the players are greedy. Both sides are greedy.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Think we're greedy? Don't come to games

No problem, I won't. I'll take my sister's kids to the local college hockey games. That's funner than watching your sorry over-priced a** on the boob tube and it costs about $22 if I buy them drinks and snacks. Get bent, Jeremy. I can't wait for the NHL commissioner to get a hold of your cracked ass.

[ArcadeQuarters]

OK, I won't.
