Not Jim Balsillie

This was a parody, like that movie Dracula: Dead and Loving It.

And because there seems to be speculation, a squatter had this account last year but has since relinquished it.

Statement about my intentions coming at approx 1:00 PM ET. Will link it here on Twitter. Includes a three-letter acronym that isn't BBM.

[Not Jim Balsillie @NotJimBalsillie]

Hi again, social friends! Very early morning. Nashville bound today! And not to learn how to write a country song. Stay tuned.

[Not Jim Balsillie @NotJimBalsillie]

@gregmcmillan I know exactly who's behind me and am eternally grateful. Stay tuned to makeitseven.ca and here for big news as it comes down.

@EmilyBeezwax ... where Phoenix is, and has some perceived added name value. Isn't it about the players, and how teams play?

[Not Jim Balsillie @NotJimBalsillie]

@EmilyBeezwax Their assertion is that it's easier to sell Detroit vs. Phoenix than Detroit vs. Hamilton, because most Americans know...

[Not Jim Balsillie @NotJimBalsillie]

@EmilyBeezwax "They" as in the American broadcasters, Emily.

@jeremynow I don't think having 31 teams is in any way appropriate. We need to move some of these lame duck teams before they're cooked too.

[Not Jim Balsillie @NotJimBalsillie]

Apparently I was called "Jim Baldsillie" on some American coverage last night... I don't think they like that they'll "only" have 23 teams!

[Not Jim Balsillie @NotJimBalsillie]

@mikemat4 Wouldn't be two in Hamilton. Might not even be one in Hamilton.

[Not Jim Balsillie @NotJimBalsillie]

Lots of meetings today. Thinking about registering makeiteight.com. Stay tuned.

[Not Jim Balsillie @NotJimBalsillie]

Thanks for following, everybody. Good first day.

I finally made HNIC. Thanks Ron. And I was easier to deal with than Grapes.

@jacksonh I will put together a front office that knows what they're doing so they can be hands-on for me. I'm no Steinbrenner.
