Money Balls

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - TMZ.com is reporting that a group of NHL players is suing Las Vegas developer Kenneth Jowdy for allegedly bilking them out of millions of dollars and then using the money to throw lavish parties that included escorts and strippers for some of the biggest stars in Major League Baseball history.

The group of 19 NHL players including former New York Islanders captain Michael Peca and Sergei Gonchar of the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins, claim that they each invested between $250,000 to $500,000 with Jowdy who allegedly was supposed to use the money to develop a luxury golf course and resort.

According to the New York Post , Jowdy instead used the $25 million to throw parties complete with porn stars and hookers for some of his baseball buddies including Hall-of-Famers Reggie Jackson and Joe Morgan, all-time hits leader Pete Rose, and seven-time Cy Young award winner Roger Clemens.

There is crying in hockey

NHL All-Star Mike Komisarek is upset about Grabovski "running" Markov when the game was out of hand on Saturday. Komisarek clearly didn't see the same hit I did. He was probably watching some of his old game tapes and got confused.

Tavares a Leaf? Guaranteed!

Unfortunately, it is one of those Alfreddson style guarantees: from the mouth of a fool and doesn't make any sense. However, break your Eklund's Magical World of Make-Believe embargo and head over there to check out the dumbest blog post ever written. It is worth it. Matthew Barry makes those Red Eye dudes look knowledgeable and reasonable...or, at least a little less alone in this world.

Pssst...PPP...I think he's talking about you...

Pssst...PPP...I think he's talking about you...

Berger was on the Team1040 in Vancouver this morning and had some interesting things to say about bloggers and Leafs fans...you will be totally unsurprised by what came out of that hole just below his mustache.

To the wolves

Doug McLean is reporting that Pogge has been called up. No link yet, but the Sun has a brief piece about Pogge practicing with the Leafs.

Barilkosphere Convention

Till and I were talking before I left Vancouver about how it would be great to get all (or as many as possible) of the Barilkosphere together to watch a game sometime over the Christmas period. We could pick a pub somewhere in T.O. and make it the official Barilkosphere 2008 Headquarters.

I know we are a disparate group, and I am mentioning this now so that we have lots of time to panhandle and roll our pennies in order to bring in the HS/HS team, Loser Domi, LFIV and all the others who live too far away from Toronto. Barring that, we can get a speakerphone and tape some pics to the wall...

Would there be any interest in something like this?
