08:28 AM ET 08.02 | Welcome to a new snag. Greg Jamison still doesn't have all the cash needed to finalize his purchase of Phoenix Coyotes hockey team from the National Hockey League and then also operate the franchise after a sale. Operating capital could be the newest obstacle facing the Jamison purchase and the Coyotes tenuous situation in Glendale, Ariz. Essentially, the prospective Coyotes owner needs the money, financing or favorable sales terms so he can pay the bills, meet payroll and keep the lights on after a sale. The Jamison camp and other backers of a Coyotes sale still say a deal could get done soon if more capital is raised or an accommodating deal is worked out with the NHL.

Who'da thunk it? Short of capital. I hope we can get a story updating us on the difficulties in Phoenix. They just shroud all this stuff behind a veil of silence and never mention anything.

Only the NHL would seriously consider a potential franchise buyer who a) lacks the money to buy the team and b) lacks the cash to operate the team. Doing a great job there Gary.

Is that because Gary's a four letter word for birth canal?
