This … is … funny

Want to quiz commissioner Gary Bettman about the state of the NHL?

XM Satellite Radio will give listeners the chance to do just that, announcing plans Monday for a new show called NHL Hour hosted by Bettman and a rotation of league executives.

The weekly program, debuting Nov. 27 and also broadcasting on NHL.com, will be co-hosted by Bill Clement and encourages fans to submit questions via phone and e-mail.

“I look forward to hearing from our fans directly and being a part of this one-of-a-kind radio show,” Bettman said in a statement.

Will Bettman have all questions pre-screened to ensure that Bettman can spin his web of half-truths into answers most common fans can’t fully comprehend?

Will Bettman get burned by constant questioning of his tenure and the holes in his arguments?

I don’t get XM, nor would I be prone to listening to Bettman for more than 5 minutes, but I invite anyone who does listen to XM Radio to have a gander at the show and let us know how Bettman performed.

In any event, the fact that the commish is putting himself out there, screened or not, is commendable.
