... Bettman must have egg on is face...

Actually, he is eating crow sauteed in white wine, served over angel hair pasta. Giada DeLaurentiis prepared it on yesterday's show.

useless without pictures ... and I am certain someone can dig up the stock graphic that goes with this saying as well

TOTAL BULLS :censored: T

What's next, the NBA on MTV?

please tell me that this is a joke and that bettman hasn't gone off the deep end here.

this officially makes the NHL a joke. just because feasting on asphalt gets quadruple ratings than the stanley cup finals, doesn't mean this will translate in to anybetter ratings for the nhl.

Versus i can understand since generally that is a sports fan market and an alternative station that can devote itself to hockey. but Food Network? Thats generally not a sports fan demographic. which means people don't and won't watch FN for hockey, yeah they watch for competitions like Iron Chef, ICA, Throwdown etc but that is competition centered around food. Hockey has nothing to do with food. they are killing 3 hours of programming to show a hockey game that no one is going to watch.

Ya, needs stripes.

[Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008

I am stunned to see that some people don't know what 'The Onion' is.

This is funny, because in a weird way, it sort of sounds like it could be true. I mean come on, we're talking Bettman here. If he could find fusion between hockey and Easy-Bake ovens, he'd pursue it, thinking he could tap into the "little girls market", that the NHL previously was not exploiting.

The fact this satire actually plays universally (and Onion knew that), means that even non-NHL fans realize that Bettman is an ass and is destroying the NHL.

So, I guess i'm in the minority when I like to read over the whole thread before I post something, you know to reduce the chances of looking like a complete moron.

With this topic though, if its from "The Onion", and its posted by Roger, its not gonna be a real news story :)

All in favor of issuing a sarcasm disclaimer whenever needed???

All in favor of taking away :censored:nuts's library card so he can't post any more stupid comments?

How the hell can these numbnutz find their way over the rainbow onto Brother Al's Information SuperHighway and all the way to this site and not recognize "The Onion" much less grasp over the top sarcasm....even aster posters provided comments on people not getting the joke...wow...just freekin' wow.

Sarcasm Alert Smileys maybe ...attention ccslc newbie all or part of the following board posting will contain some level of sarcasm meaning the incredulous statement should not be taken literally and should then considered a work of fiction and thus intentionally has comical, sociologically, theretical, philosophical or political or just plain ass silly overtones...thank you for playing here is a version of the home game kids now run along home and go play in the street

Oh and if somebody makes fun of your replies and you get all pissy and snap back like a 12 year old at the playground just prepare to be flamed!

I'll bet! Lugging those sweater kittens around all day can take its toll on the lower back. God love her for doing it, though... ^_^

Changing gears to this trend of jokes going over certain people's heads: if you're not smart enough to under obvious sarcasm/satire, maybe you're not smart enough to be here. That's not intended to be an ageist comment (there are plenty of teens who contribute wonderfully to this place); that's just weeding the dummies out to preserve the sanity of the rest of us. I'd say "you know who you are"... but clearly you wouldn't.

CC - instead of everyone getting up in arms over letting the young'ins post, maybe we oughta go with a perfunctory IQ test, whatsay? :P Our source material would evidently be from The Onion...

In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

Rachael Ray as a puckbunny?

Yummo!

Dang serious.. lol tat would be nice... if we can see Rachael Ray in that tight costume, then we gonna be in dreamland for a frigging long time!! ^_^

<_< Anyways, I dont think it would serve the NHL well enough to do televised games on the Food Network?? Blah I just removed one package that has the FN on it so I can save some money on my satellite dish due to reasons beyond my control and etc...

this will only work if Duff Goldman makes a Stanley Cup cake, complete with all the names piped on one by one.

Would you really want to eat that? It would seem like sacrelidge.
