Lowetide said:Yeah, those Nascar hillbillies haven't got a clue how to run a business. I wonder if they're watching Bettman and thinking of hiring him? He'd know what to do in order to save that dying sport.

ColoradoHockeyFan said:He just told Dan Russell that something most people don't know is that there were two physical altercations in the NHLPA meetings where guys literally had to be physically separated/restrained. One of the altercations was definitely during the dinner meeting on Monday night.

mudcrutch79 said:Line of the day. If Bettman ran Nascar, he'd probably quickly realize the sports big problem though. Once the race has been going for a while, it can be difficult to know who's leading-you've got cars that have been lapped in the way, it's very confusing. If only there was some sort of way to have a visual identifier on the leading car. It'd draw in the lucrative market of people like me, who probably would all watch if this was addressed.
ScottyBowman said:No thanks. Women at a nascar race are trailer trash.

Some agents have charged hourly rates and still do - some charge a fixed percentage. It depends upon the contract.me2 said:Burke can't believe players pay agents a percentage. When he was agenting (if there is such a word) he used to work on an hourly rate. Much, much better for the players.
Just like the owners have been reported to have done? Employer bullying????mcphee said:Not that this confirms anything, but McGuire mentionnned that there were players who shouted down questions as they were asked, not exactly a new idea, union bullying. He didn't name his source, but my money is on Mark Recchi, for no other reason than they seem to be friends. It's not that much of a stretch to imagine some tempers flaring up if someone's trying to impede open discussion.

It's just a matter of time here people. The union is fractured and will break.
