My love of catering also led me to the Bruins.

Love how his first thought on Marc Savard is “I’m still paying him.”

 

[lopey]

Jacob’s is a terrible human

 

[KrejciMVP]

jacobs is cruel. amazing how his cruelness is accepted as normal in Boston. oh thats ok its just Jacobs

 

[Jim]

I love this guy. It’s a business to him. Your passion is his profit and it kills some of you. Me, I’ve got no problem with it at all. Bought and paid for = he owns it.

Makes your skin crawl. This is a vile POS human. Sell the Bruins you piece of dog excrement!

He basically shows his complete disinterest in the sport and contempt for Savard. He didn't even seem to know for sure if Matt Cooke played for the Bruins ffs. Spelled Chiarelli "Sharelli" WTF!? The bottom line is that He is an undead, heartless POS.

That sort of cruelty is accepted worldwide. It's the elite spitting in the eye of the commoners and we'd better f***ing like it!

He's a very good owner who despite all of the accusations of "cheapness" has kept the Bruins and the rest of the league solvent by being fiscally responsible. He's given Chiarelli and Sweeney the latitude to put out winning teams within the parameters of the salary cap. I have no problem with him as an owner and often end up finding myself being the one person to defend him when these threads pop up.

But man, those are some hilarious answers. I guess you don't have to be a fan of the sport to be a successful owner. in some ways, maybe it's better than having a Dolan who wants to buy every shiny new toy in a chase to win a cup, and never does.

Yeah I don’t mind his investment into the club, it could be better it could be much much worse.

I also don’t really care much about his lack of interest in the sport or team but it’s pretty clear he has little to no respect for the players themselves. I guess I’m not surprised but don’t love seeing it in direct quotes.

Keep throwing your money at him.
Its not personal. Just business.

I wonder if they sell boot-scented candles. Could give your tongue a rest.

Q: "Have you read the CBA?"

A: "No. It's too much to read"

Lol

I kind of wish they still were.

Maybe not as just a declaration in a deposition.

Well there’s probably some old videos you could watch on YouTube to relive it. Don’t think it’s coming back anytime soon.

Nope, them times are long gone.

I don’t need jacobs to be interested but it would be nice if he wasn’t so cruel and didn’t so obviously think of the players as “the help”. He’s largely a figurehead in day to day ops of the club and they don’t behave like they have a miserly owner anymore but this guy is a driving force on the board of governors that has seen multiple work stoppages and an accountability crisis for almost everything. Not a good guy.

 

[BMC]

His answers are bad but then so are some of the questions lol

Nothing I didn't expect, the guy is a complete jerk. I wonder what his family thinks of him.

 

[sarge88]

I think that Q and A indicates that JJ is more out of touch than mean.

A person who was more aware of how real people think and feel could/would answer those questions in an honest, but more empathic manner.

Q: "Have you read the CBA?"

A: "No. It's too much to read"

Expected more of:
"I pay people to read that for me"
