Future Network?

Here's an item from TheOnion.com. We expect a similar announcement this spring from the Pac-10.

``NEW YORK -- Flanked by Food Network president Brooke Johnson and cooking-show host Rachael Ray, Commissioner Gary Bettman announced yesterday that the NHL has opted out of its contract with the Versus cable channel (formerly the Outdoor Life Network) and has reached a long-term broadcasting deal with the Food Network starting in the 2007-08 season.''
