Bettman is many things, but a fool, he ain't.

Did he know Glendale was a crappy location when they first moved? Maybe, but the arena deal was sweet. Did he know it was crappy when they were trying to sell the team? Sure, but you don't go around admitting the flaws of a product when you are the seller.

The funny thing is that Bettman has always gone to bat for Calgary (and Edmonton for that matter).

And SportsNet? Whatever. I don't have the picayune issues that a few posters have - my HD seems fine, I don't notice any sound quality or timing issues, they have Ball & Hrudey and Jackie Redmond is on a lot (which provides a lot of goodwill for me).

I'd be pretty upset as an owner if Bettman had turned down the SN deal.
