Well that caught me napping. Literally. Damn you Molsons for interrupting my favourite Saturday activity, the nap while watching golf. But it seems to be true - everyone is reporting that the Molson Brothers have bought the Habs and related properties for more than a half a billion dollars. Ch-ching, George!
George Gillett's mission of taking over the Sports Universe rolls on. The Habs, Liverpool FC, and now Gillett Evernham Motorsports in NASCAR. All that excitement over the race in Montreal this past weekend must have gotten to his head. The team has 3 teams in Nextel Cup, one in Busch Series and other minor teams as well.
I for one have been happy with him as an owner. You don't hear anything about him, and to me that's a good thing. So grab a pinch of Skoal, a Bud Light, some 40W oil, a Confederate flag and your semi-attractive cousin and toast the acquisition.
