An email conversation...

This is a typical email conversation between Steve and Chris...

Chris:
Locals are trying to buy the Preds apparently.

Steve:
really...how is that gonna work...the only reason the sale didn't go for Balsillie is they wanted to keep the teams in the US

C:
Well, The sale isn't dead technically.I wouldn't bet money on it succeeding, but it's still alive.Now if JB threw more money at it.

S:
he threw more than $50 mil more than the other guy, and showed that Hamiltonians would buy tics!...what the heck does betteman want

C:
A Hummer.

S:
as in oral sex or the gas guzzling vehicle?

C:
Whatever one gets the job done.
