True - people who say Hamilton is a scary place are mostly cultural philistines and suburban automotons who can't hear the good news over the sound of their lawnmowers.

I saw Brian Burke on OTR with Michael GinoReda Landsberg. He comes across as pretty arrogant. His pro-fighting views are pretty tired and dated (if you missed it, just substitute pretty much any Don Cherry rant). There may be people who like this, but their are probably more who don't like it. The fact is that the anemic US NHL audience is continuing to wane. Even the greedy MLSE is showing a crack in the armor, with the secondary ticket market evaporating as ticket prices climb into the stratosphere. Perhaps this decline is partly due to negative publicity during the Coyotes bankryuptcy proceedings, and not just their continued on-ice futility. And yes, some sports are meant to be rough and competitive, but last time I checked, there is no fighting in the NFL. How's their bottom line lately?
