Let's not forget Mike's classy comment refering to the Russians as "Eurotrash!" I can't stand the announcers NBC is using for hockey. I don't mind Doc or Eddie. Pierre is kind of annoying but tolerable. I just want to punch JR in the face most of the time. I love the way he whined about not be included on the Torino roster because they said he was too old (of course he thought he wasn't), but then he has the nerve say that Drury is too old!! Pot, kettle anyone??!!!

I heard Milbury on NHL Live today, and he explained what he meant by "Eurotrash" and it had no relation to the meaning I know of, used in describing European Soccer fan(atic)s. That didn't get my undies in a bunch as much as his acting as though Semin committed the crime of the century, and then defending Boyle's actions.

Sorry to have missed the Eelpout festivities, JR. I'm sure a good time was had by all.

I'll be busy tonight buffing up my antique sleds for the big event at Pearl Lake tomorrow. Should be taking home some hardware. And, of course the fishhouse must come off the lake by Sunday.

Props to the JOHNNIES and the MIAC for leading DIII Football in attendance .......... again

I'll say it once again and I'm sure it will get the ire up of some of the Tommie, Royal, and other Johnnie-haters.
Why would anyone play football anywhere else in the MIAC when they could play in one of the greatest college football environments in the country?

Because you would have to attend Saint John's? 

Truth be told last week in Seattle I did give the producer of College Gameday a hard sell on coming to Collegeville for a game but it looks pretty unlikely.  Mainly because the last two times they have done a none D1 game it hasn't generated the buzz they hoped for.

If I remember correctly, they once did GameDay for an Ivy League game from the studio, on a set that looked like the inside of a dorm room at Harvard.  The only on-site game I remember was for a Williams-Amherst game in Williamstown.  Can't imagine why that wouldn't have worked - I mean, you know how crazy those Williams students get.  Plus find 10 people who didn't go to Williams who know where Williamstown is and how to get there.

There admittedly are a lot of folks who think that anything not in the D-1 world isn't worth an Apolo Ohno yawn - but ESPN might consider doing GameDay live in two different locations some time.  Two birds, one stone.

Breaking news out of Canada! The International Olympic Committee stunned the world this past Sunday morning when they awarded U.S. President Barack Obama a gold medal for Men's Skiing. When asked how this could be, considering that President Obama has never skied nor competed in the Olympic games, an IOC spokesman justified the decision by stating "Barack Obama is going downhill faster than anyone this year."

A circus owner runs an ad for a lion tamer and two people show up. One is a good looking, older retired golfer in his late sixties and the other is a gorgeous blond in her mid-twenties.

The circus owner tells them, "I'm not going to sugar coat it. This is one ferocious lion. He ate my last tamer so you two had better be good or you're history. Here's your equipment -- chair, whip and a gun. Who wants to try out first?"

The girl says, "I'll go first."  She walks past the chair, the whip and the gun and steps right into the lion's cage. The lion starts to snarl and pant and begins to charge her.  About halfway there, she throws open her coat revealing her beautiful naked body.

The lion stops dead in his tracks, sheepishly crawls up to her and starts licking her feet and ankles. He continues to lick and kiss her entire body for several minutes and then rests his head at her feet.

The circus owner's jaw is on the floor. He says, "I've never seen a display like that in my life." He then turns to the retired golfer and asks, "Can you top that?"

"No problem," the old golfer replies, "just get that lion out of there..."

You know how they say to watch out if it burns when you pee?  Well, this guy shoulda paid attention.
