Big Tuna Of The Week #3
January 15, 2008 by arsy5
This week the Big Tuna Of The Week is awarded to none other than MLSE President Richard Peddie. His bungling of the Leafs is merit enough for such an award. This man may be lining my retirement pockets with green, but he certainly isn’t qualified to be making sports related decisions. He should stick to building condos and malls.
Peddie’s leadership on the hockey department side is laughable. Peddie is calling around to gauge interest for someone to take over the G.M role on an interim basis. Reports suggest that Cliff Fletcher is going to be the G.M. This move tells me that Peddie lacks a clear direction because he’s in some kind of pissing match with Larry Tanenbaum, who wanted to bring in Scotty Bowman during the summer. Whatever the case may be, every day that passes without some indication from the MLSE brass that they have a plan and are acting on it is yet another reason to laugh at the Maple Leafs a lot.
In lieu of sending Mr. Peddie a tasty can of tuna from my private stock, I will be donating the can to a local food bank. Peddie can go wait in line at the ACC for $25 roast beef sandwich instead.
