Working for the devil ... one man's tale of working for Lenny Dykstra

Dykstra's house (formerly Gretzky's) to be sold at auction:

what about this bombshell buried at the bottom of the post piece:

"Gretzky was said to have spent $30 million on the home, but was forced to sell it off to help satisfy gambling debts." (emphasis mine)

 

Yep.

 

I thought the Great One's wife made a Great Escape.

 

yes janet was involved with tocchet, but supposedly at a much smaller level -- say 500k because tocchet's whole deal was like 1.5 million -- than having to sell a 17 million dollar house

 

Nails files for bankruptcy. Let's see him go the newspaper executive route and spin it as "restructuring so I'll come back stronger than ever, bro."

Jordan, Barkley, Gretzky, Dykstra and gambling, and probably others.

Should there be a bigger examination about the top-level superstars and possible gambling problems, or is that just commonly accepted for athletes with millions?

 

Lenny's pretty fucked up.

 

as proof goes it wasn't gretzky but his wife

 

Gretsky can handle it. He gets plenty of dough from the bankrupt Coyotes by pretty much doing nothing remarkable.
