I was a little puzzled when I found this fax from NHL 21 on the machine this afternoon."NHL 21 is keenly aware of the Phoenix Coyotes bankruptcy situation. We stand ready, willing and able to assist at the appropriate time with the future search for ownership of an NHL club member in Kansas City at Sprint Center, when so deemed appropriate by the NHL Board of Governors.

The National Football League has a large millionaire population which predictably contributes overwhelmingly to Republicans over Democrats. Yet this week we learned from rightbloggers that the NFL is in fact a wing of the liberal conspiracy.Early this month Rush Limbaugh and Dave Checketts collaborated on a bid to buy the St. Louis Rams NFL franchise.
