I'm not that interested in this story, but this struck me:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wayne Gretzky knew about a betting ring at the center of an unfolding National Hockey League scandal, the New Jersey Star Ledger reported on Thursday, citing law enforcement sources.
Gretzky, whose wife, actress Janet Jones, has been implicated as a heavy bettor with the ring, has denied any involvement with the gambling operation.
The newspaper said secretly recorded phone calls revealed that Gretzky, a hockey hall of famer, knew about the ring. It said investigators were looking into whether he placed any wagers through Jones, who is believed to have bet $500,000 on games during the six-week state probe dubbed "Operation Slap Shot."
So Gretzky's wife bet $500,000 over a 6-week period and he knew about it. I know the dude's got money, but that's a bit excessive.
And don't you love the choice of "Operation Slap Shot". Paul Newman must be proud.

Gretzky also said he had no idea his wife was betting. "Hey honey,
I need a half a mill to run to the store."
In defense of the Great One, I have no idea what Lynn does with our money either, but I don't have millions to waste.
