The following quote, regarding Dellow, got a lot of play: "Bringing in Tyler was an interesting process on a number of fronts. And you know it was interesting, because we announced the hiring, immediately we had an email from a journalist to our PR department asking the question, "Is anyone from the organization going to talk about the hiring of this *****?" Right away I was caught off guard, going, I thought, ‘Whoa.’ Like, what’s going on here? There was a bit of a dislike for Tyler. I think it’s probably from his, maybe from his website or his twitter account . . .

that sort of cracks me up

Did Willis seriously just claim that someone calling Dellow a ***** means that you can't trust that reporter. I'd love to know who it was, because that guy is clearly one of the few that actually has a clue

Actually its a joke that a reporter was so blatantly unprofessional.
He/she should be embarrassed.

Thanks BB!! I love these.

This is pure gold from Larry Robinson of the Sharks:

“We’re playing their game,†the former Canadiens Hall of Famer said. “We’re playing pond hockey and they’re a better pond-hockey team than we are.â€

It's absolutely true though.
