Got this from another forum, posted by user GoBombersGo. So this is not my story or my link, but an interesting read I thought I'd share with you.
Wow! I got sucked into another City of Glendale meeting last night! Watched it online!
I thought I was done with those last year but this was priceless! The in house fighting is nuts!
I am now taking $50 bets that the Nordiques are back in the league by the end of the playoffs!
Here are some tweets that were coming out of there live!!!!
