Crackhawks, Part Duex

As if the Dale Tallon mail fraud from around July 1 wasn't bad enough, read this piece from Canada's TSN about Marian Hossa's contract...

How dumb do you have to be to get this stuff leaked to the press? I imagine that the Wirtz family built foot-thick solid oak walls and durable wood paneling in each and every office in the United Center to seal up all that backroom dealing for good.

Even if not, who in the organization could have lips this loose?

On the surface, the alleged agreement is hardly newsworthy. However, when you factor in the length of the contract and, you know, those pesky...rules...the whole thing stinks to high heaven.

Suffice to say the Blackhawks organization is like one of those houses on stilts in the Outer Banks, and the high tide from the coming hurricane is just about ready to erode the supports.
