Some 25 year old flaunting money at a casino or a 30 year old buying a car is "dumb" to you and other twitterversers
iMeanwhile, IN REAL LIFE and THINGS THAT MATTER, Ilitch is asking taxpayers for millions for his private project. Or Katz demanding for millions for his project.
I guess because the "media" covers it... that validates its importance to you?
As someone who has worked in media for 20 years, you have no idea how silly that idea is.
I don't care about the picture. As a Jet fan my problem is he didn't see this coming. Which to me makes him dumb. Kane has shown that he is dumb over and over again and the Jets just made a 6 year investment in a dumb guy. There has been many a million dollar talent that has been ruined by a ten cent brain.

Not even even close to Patrick Kane.
What was so dumb about his picture?
Are we supposed to be believe that Hockey fans don't understand how much money Kane makes?
Are we supposed to believe that hockey fans don't understand that the owners who pay Kane have far more money than Kane does?
So the only people who could get angry this photo would be very, very low-information types who have emotional reactions to everything.
Might be dumb,but he's all of 21 yrs young and just put up a 30 goal season after scoring 19 the year before. Whenever they start playing hockey again, I'd be glad to see the Wings take that sort of dumb off your hands.
Never said anything about Patrick.
Like I said Bob, I don't care about the picture at worst in my mind it's bad taste. I rolled my eyes. But at the same time immediately I though there was going to be a lot of people who are going to make a big deal about this. He should have thought the same thing before posting that. He forgot that Twitter isn't just for his friends to view, the world sees it. If this picture was stolen from an email he sent out to 100 of his friends and family this wouldn't be a big deal.
Whether he (or you) likes it or not he is a public figure and he has to be more careful. This isn't about him being a hockey player. If Donald Trump, Mit Romney,Obama or Paris Hilton did this the reaction wouldn't be much different.
Are you offended by the picture?
It's so funny that everyone talks about how it's bad taste because OTHER people might be offended.
It's a convenient pass-the-buck smear.

I'm actually pleased to see some honesty. The dude is rich. He's just confirming what we all knew.
But remember when Modano talked about how he'd be hard strapped to pay for his dog's food? Boy howdy. Now that was dumb. And he's been raked over the coals for it for years.
I prefer the accurate displays of wealth rather than the dishonest attempt at sympathy pulled by poor Mikey.
What Modano didn't tell everyone was that he feeds his dogs gold bullion three times a day.
Either you have a reading comprehension problem or you're trolling me.
So next series of cancellation will more than likely be the cancellation of the remainder of the regular season. Agree or disagree?
As far as I'm concerned... The owners and players can all go crawl in a corner and disappear into obscurity. This is ridiculous. I just wanna see the Red Wings and listen to Ken Kal call games again... Good night... Nobody cares about me, the fan. For pete's sake. Just adopt the MLB model and adjust the variables to fit the NHL. It's fair for all sides and it works. It's fair for the rich teams because they can pay for talent and field competitive teams without being restricted. It's fair for poor teams because they aren't forced to pay 3rd and 4th line scrubs $4million a year contracts to reach a stupid cap floor and can operate on their own budgets and they can keep younger players for longer on the cheap. It's fair for the players because ultimately they get payed MORE. It's fair for competition, because as we clearly see the MLB, and in particular the AL, has developed an unprecedented parity without the help of a salary cap.
I wonder what would happen if in fact the NHL does void all the players contracts what would happen... FA Frenzy's heaven? Would all the ELC be voided as well?
Parity in MLB, huh?
Only one team in the last 20 years has won the World Series without a top half the league payroll. The 2003 Florida Marlins then they sold all their players to the highest bidder. You can prefer that system but don't pretend it is fair. Detroit will probably be fine, we will see what the next era of Ilitch ownership brings though shortly so be careful what you wish for.
