Still waiting for Tom
I'm still waiting for Tom Golisano to return my phone call about Daniel Briere and Chris Drury. If he ever does, I'll be sure to ask the evasive Sabres owner why he would waste $5 million of his money on a mean-spirited political campaign that will tarnish his image in the Buffalo community.
Hey, I know I'm supposed to stay away from politics, but Golisano is the one who tried to buy influence in the New York legislature through his Responsible Government committee. He comes off looking petty and small, which is pretty much the way he has looked to me over the past year or so.
Golisano, of course, hasn't bothered to answer any phone calls from News reporters. That means your high-visibility NHL owner hasn't felt compelled to comment with the daily newspaper on the demise of the hockey team or his foray into local politics. I guess we're just an extension of the evil liberal media elite in this country. And to think, Golisano is posing as a Democrat!
Go ahead, crush me for having the nerve to criticize the man who saved Buffalo's hockey team. But really, shouldn't Sabres fans find it a bit unseemly for the team's owner to be behaving this way? From what I could gather, Golisano bungled a chance to re-sign Chris Drury because he was too busy with other dealings. Do you want your owner involved in gutter politics? Shouldn't he be above this?
