the ipt sent out a statment via email TODAY that they were forming a new "partnership" with local chicago based sporting goods retailer Steve and Barry's.

Apparently, Steve and Barry's discoverd who they were associating their business with, and ABRUPTLY cancelled all relations with the IPT.

I for one, would like to send out kudo's to Steve and Barry's for taking the moral high road here and pulling the plug on this ill fated arrangment.

I've probably been one of the most outspoken in reiterating this point, but it bears repeating: legitimate businesses will NOT associate their brands with KT's sullied name. Ain't gonna happen.

The last BS-o-Gram tried to refute this reality with KT's "eat your words" mini-snit. If he truly does land a "blue chip sponsor", I'll gladly eat my words -- they would go down more easily than the full ration of manure KT has been feeding us for the last 2 months.

The IPT is now box office poison. I suspect that they will find these cancellations happening on a regular basis until either the players get paid or the IPT just goes away!

Either way, all of their creditability is gone and the train has left the station.

If I were an IPT employee, I wouldn't count on Santa this year. I doubt very seriously if there will be, or ever has been any HO HO HO ;)

I never joined the IPT mailing list so I'm curious... I did see where someone posted a copy of the email announcing the event, but did the IPT send out an email announcing the cancellation?

Postponed until MS can show up to do the exhibition. He is currently in the custody of the IPT Witness Protection Program.

Actually there was a new press release stating:

From the IPT from KT regarading the whereabouts of MS who in the protection of IPTWPP. In an attempt to keep DO on the QT he has joined the IPTWPP serving KP to avoid PC.

Try that while drinking Crown Royal which likely to cause me the DT"S.

No, no email about cancellations. We get all the BS about announcementes, qualifiers and the TV matches, etc. But the players are the ones who get the "beefy BS" about the events, venues, etc.
