Balsillie Thinking Nashville Again

from 570News,

Jim Balsillie is back in the running to buy the Nashville Predators.

The Research In Motion co-CEO is the owner of a group that has approached the NHL team with an offer to buy it if the deal with the current bidders fails.

According to a letter sent to Nashville’s Metro Sports Authority, Balsillie is now committed to keeping the team in Nashville and winning a Stanley Cup there.

More detail can be found at the Nashville Post, including the tidbit that one of Balsillie’s representatives here worked on the new mayor’s campaign.  You can also see the full text of the letter that Balsillie’s camp sent to the Metro Sports Authority.

I haven’t heard anything about this on TSN or any of the other Canadian outlets, so maybe Balsillie really has learned a lesson.  Whether the owners see it that way…
