JEREMY JACOBS UNPLUGGED: SAYS HE WON'T OVERSPEND ON B'S

          Bruins Owner Jeremy Jacobs told Will McDonough that he
     does not "intend to spend a lot of money" to make the Bruins
     competitive on-ice.  Jacobs: "That will not happen.  As long
     as I own this team, it will make money.  We are a business. 
     I'm not going to go out and do what some of these owners
     have done in this league, spend so foolishly that they have
     put the league in terrible shape. ... Luckily for us, we've
     got a great commissioner who is trying to jawbone this thing
     back to reality.  The Bruins make money, and will continue
     to make money.  But we do not make nearly the money people
     say we do."  Jacobs, on free agent spending: "I'm just not
     going to lose any (money).  And I'm not going to be foolish
     like some other owners who spent so much money on players,
     they are now losing a ton. ... Pittsburgh is bankrupt. 
     Imagine having a team that can win the Stanley Cup and maybe
     having to move it."  Jacobs, on his future: "I'm not going
     to sell this team" (BOSTON GLOBE, 5/15).
