The Great One
The hockeyman has to talk about the controversy. For those readers who are not hockeyfans or Canadians- Rick Tocchet the assistant coach of the Phoenix Coyotes is accused of running a major gambling ring. Janet Gretzky wife of the great one is rumoured to have but up to 500K$ in the betting ring.
Two points- first the Great one is the great one and we expect nothing more than for his leadership to bring the hockey gold back to Canada from Turin (Wayne is retired as a player but is executive director of the effort) The hockeyman will still think that he is Great One - great player, great Canadian great person even if its found that he bets.
Second point the beautiful Janet wife of the great one.- Rumoured to have bet 75K on the superbowl last week. I wonder if she is like myself and some of the blog readers who are looking for something but not sure what. She is early forties I think and maybe she just has everything ever dreamed of- trophy husband, trophies, glamour covers, four kids, more money than she will ever need. Maybe there is nothing for her to look forward to ---no mountains to climb no goals to achieve- so she bets to feed the habit. I wonder if she bets to make her day or bets to feel good- the drug of choice for the rich and famous.
There are no perfect people. We all have warts. She probably doesn't want hers in the paper but that happens when you are up on the mountain flashing your riches to the peasants below.
I can never see myself betting 75K$ although I bought some RIM stock last year and its jsut about the same thing only you can live and die with it every day BTW it was up as high as 4 .10 a share US today but settled back for a small gain of 62 cents.
