Janet Jones Gretzky: Criticism of Wayne 'has broken his heart'

Of course it is, I wasn't there.
My experience when I see celebrities who are "off the clock" is that they don't like to be bothered...I know I don't like to talk "shop" when I'm not at work.
Wow judging me because I have an opinion that you don't agree. Gretzsky is not unpatriotic. Many famous folks support the evil Gavin Newscum. Why don't you criticize them instead. Why is all about TDS? I could care less about Trump.
A celebrity in a case like this has one chance to make an impression...Now think how many times in a lifetime they have that exact same one chance...Here's a hint..Not everyone is like Pinball Clemons.
Your story does confirm what I've read and heard throughout the years, that Janet is a big time gambler. She was caught up in the Rick Tocchet investigation.
You better brace yourself for when Ovie breaks his record because I'm pretty sure Wayne is going to be there to pose for pictures shaking his hand...Remember Ovie has been criticised heavily for supporting Putin. So the jump will be that Wayne is a Putin guy as well..I'm sure this has been rearranged..Given the latest backlash of hate maybe he should rethink this one...

You’re right you weren’t there….I always talk to people when I’m “off the clock” ended up a few good deals and opportunities from meeting people in barS airports … anywhere….
Frank Sinatra was well known for being very generous to 'the little people', often tipping $50 to bellhops at hotels, or kitchen staff at restaurants. This is a big reason why none of those people ever saw anything when Frank was present during a loan collection in the alley behind the establishment.
Tiger Woods, on the other hand, is a notorious cheapskate, on par with former Toronto Raptor Doug Christie*. Scandal sheets like The National Inquirer often receive tips from disgruntled service workers who have a bone to pick with a celebrity tightwad.
*One of my poker buddies from the 90's once worked briefly as a waiter at Red Lobster. He said Christie had been a customer, and on a bill of about $90, he had tipped a dollar. In the first game of the strike-shortened 1999-2000 NBA season, sarcastic fans in Boston threw coins and one dollar bills on the court during breaks in the action. Christie was seen picking up coins and putting them in the top of his socks.
Was it Christie's wife who was on some show about basketball wives that made an ass of herself? Something about examining your husbands testicles when he got home to verify if he was fooling around.
There was also no tipping Scottie Pippin as well...
Friend of mine was a waiter at the Weston Harbour Castle...He confirms your tiger is a cheap dude assertion here. He wasn't well liked by the staff at all.
If I was there I would have let him be...I'm not sure what deal or opportunity he missed by not pretending he was interested in talking to you, if it was someone that he know I'm sure he would have had some sort on conversation.
The irony of these 2 politically.
. I guess you could say Ovi is a right winger. Although he shoots right he plays the left really well. old Wayne boy or any other athlete should remember if it wasn’t for fans they’d be punching a clock in there local town factory.
I’ve been fortunate enough to meet a few famous people and I’ve found that usually they are very cordial and actually make you feel like your the special one.
Doug Christie might be the world's most pussy-whipped man. When he played for the Sacramento Kings, his wife Jackie arranged to have a female employee of the team fired, because she had talked to Doug.
Doug and Jackie were on the show Basketball Wives, which is likely the source of your anecdote.
I spoke with Traci Melchor at a party in the late 90's, when she worked for CITY-TV. One time she was interviewing Mariah Carey, and she was expressly forbidden to make eye contact.
I imagine celebrities are very cordial most of the time because they don't want word to get out what a prick they were but they are just human and sometimes they're just not that interested in having a conversation with a perfect stranger
Wayne was a talented hockey player. If it wasn't for him. The NHL wouldn't be what it is today. He wouldn't be punching a clock at the local town factory because he was too good to work there. Stop making it seem that he needs you.
Why are we expecting athletes to be involved in politics. Wayne can have his own views late anyone else.
What about actors who do the same. All Gretzsky did was take photos. He's not promoting Trump like all of these celebrities that got paid to endorse Kamala
Good point...Mel Lastman shook a Hell's Angels hand, that doesn't mean he's an outlaw biker

Look at all of the celebrities and athletes that socialized with Gavin Newscum at the Superbowl in LA a few years back.
So ask yourself why the Superbowl champion Philadelphia Eagles declined to do the annual visitation to the White House. And they aren't the first to do so.
