					<description>Hi Chris,

Welcome aboard man!

I just looked at your article and before I discuss the stupidity of Gary Bettman, I just wanted to talk about the uncapped year in the NFL.

Yes, I think not having a salary cap is stupid to begin with.  The more I think of it though, as long as small market/lower revenue clubs like the Jaguars are able to sign top level free agents such as Aaron Kampman (who the Jags signed earlier today) and clubs such as the Bills, Vikings, Chargers don't relocate in the near future along with forms of revenue sharing available in future seasons (with or without the return of a salary cap system) then I will be okay with future NFL seasons which are uncapped.  A rookie cap is also something which I completely agree with.  This way clubs like the Raiders can rescue themselves from overpaying for rookies who underperform or don't do anything at all such as Jamarcus Russell.  So it is understandable that the Rams, Lions, and Buccaneers may want to trade down as draft weekend is approaching.  If the NFL &#38; NFLPA cannot get a deal done by March next year, then Roger Goodell &#38; Demaurice Smith should both be fired. 

Now with Gary Bettman and the debate being whether or not to go to the Olympics in 2014, how STUPID could Bettman possibly be?  The USA/Canada gold medal game is exciting from start to finish and lots of people watched!  I am very happy that Canada won gold!  The experience of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games can grow the NHL in the immediate future!  Bettman being the MORON that he is has to go and F up a major opportunity?!  What a bloody idiot who has NO respect whatsoever for the sport of hockey.  Remember Chris, this is the same moron who thinks that Atlanta, Florida, Phoenix are better hockey markets than Hamilton, Winnipeg, Quebec City &#38; Milwaukee.  This is what the NHL should be talking about as opposed to debating whether or not to participate in the 2014 Winter Olympics.  If the NHL doesn't go to Sochi and/or screws up their chances of getting a major television contract in the States, then Bettman deserves to be fired immediately.  This moron must be stopped in his quest to ruin the NHL.

Again, welcome aboard and you are welcome to post here at anytime!

					<description>The whole thing about Bettman not committing the NHL to go to the 2014 Olympics in Russia is disgusting.  Gary thinks that Phoenix, Atlanta, and Nashville are better hockey markets than Hamilton, Winnipeg, and Quebec City.  Remember how NBC cut out of the deciding game of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals Between Ottawa &#38; Buffalo?  Or deciding to place NHL games on Versus instead of the ESPN Networks and at the same time allowing NBC to only do one game a week and the game starts at 12:30 pm et (which means 9:30 in the morning out west)  This summer, the players wanted the NHL back on the ESPN Networks and Bettman still insists upon keeping NHL games on Versus &#38; NBC?  It's no wonder why the NHL isn't more popular in the United States.

The NFL &#38; MLB wouldn't hire a moron like Bettman in the first place. If Bettman did the same things to football and baseball as he has been doing to the NHL for the last 16 years or so, you would definitely see a massive number of protests and riots on a large scale.  Because of Bettman, I have really cut down on watching the NHL this season.  I still watch the Senators, Hockey Night In Canada, and I will watch as many games during the Stanley Cup Playoffs as I can.  Though if the officials under orders from Bettman are going to rig games for/against certain teams (see last year's Penguins 1st round series against the Flyers and the Stanley Cup Final against the Red Wings) I will quickly tune out if any of this bull shit is going to go on in this year's playoffs.  Bettman is the worst commissioner in the history of the NHL and I would also say he is the all time worst commissioiner in the history of sports as well. Millions of hockey fans would probably agree with both of these statements.  Hopefully Bettman will resign and this day comes soon.</description>

					<description>Bettman needs to go. Now he won't commit the NHL to the Olympics. I am sick of Bettman dismantling hockey. He doesn't know what he is doing or what he is talking about. To Bill Daly you may be the one person that thinks that Bettman is doing a good job. When he is an IDIOT. I would love to see Bettman do this to America's football and baseball sports. There would be a revolution if he tried that. Hockey fans have waited to see the desmise of Gary Bettman. Here's hoping it is soon. I can't stand that snake Bettman. His time with the NHL will go down in history as being the worst commissioner in NHL history he may join former president of the US in making history as being the worse president of the US. Bettman needs to go.</description>

					<description>Congrats Ass Hole, Your damn golden boy finally won an olympic gold and a stanley cup. I say now he should retire or be put on a cross and burned. You know its fixed when for an olympic gold medal match you have 2 of your nhl refrees be part of it. I say you should retire asap and return to your previous beloved sport of basketball and leave the NHL to its true fans.</description>

					<description>Bill Daly,

So the fans are going to give Mr Bettman a raise? You KNOW that is unrealistic.  Just what kind of world do you live in?  Don't you have anything better to do?  I guess not since you spend your time trolling on an anti Bettman website.
