Jeremy Jacobs - Worst Owner in Sports?

Today, the NHL Board of Governers elected a new chairman. They could have picked anyone, except Harley Hotchkiss of the Flames, who was vacating the position. They selected the worst possible candidate, Jeremy Jacobs, Owner of the Boston Bruins. The same Jacobs who was voted worst owner in sports by an ESPN poll, and 5th worst in sports by the ESPN writers. He also ranked as the 4th greediest owner in sports by another ESPN poll. This isnt just NHL owners, this is all of sports. To put this in perspective, Jacobs is two spots behind George for the greediest owner. The man could'nt care less about the Bruins, and probably needs a GPS to find his way from Buffalo to Boston...wait, when does he ever come to Boston? With the exception of Bill Wirtz of the Blackhawks and Karmanos, there are no worse owners in hockey. The Bruins will be bad until he sells them, and the NHL is worse of for putting him in a position of power.
