I needed a name for a column that is basically just a bunch of quick thoughts or daily links – so I decided to come up with quite possibly the weirdest and most disgusting name I could thiink of. Enjoy the fun nuggets: Panthers emphasize that Delhomme sticking at QB - Are Delhomme and John [...]

Goodbye Wayne Gretzky – we’ll barely miss you. Today marked the end of The Great One’s non-descript four-year tenure as Coyotes coach, as the NHL’s all-time greatest player stepped down from his post. As Gretzky himself cited, neither of the prospective bidders (Jim Basille or the NHL) in the teams bankruptcy had any interest in [...]

For those stories you don’t want me to write an entire post about…. St. Paul’s College cancels season opener because they don’t have helmets/pads – the small college in Virginia was forced to cancel their game against West Virginia Wesleyan because their equipment hadn’t arrived. This is a hilarious and embarrasing story and brings to [...]

The Arizona Republic is reporting that Wayne Gretzky has agreed to submit to a deposition in the Coyotes bankruptcy case. Outside of the obligatory “where’s all the money?” and “why do you guys suck?” questions, I have a few suggestions for whatever lucky s.o.b. gets a crack at Wayne under oath. First, I would start [...]
First the Phillies. Then the Steelers. Now the Penguins. The Keystone State holds three of the major four sports titles. You probably already now this by now. But, what about some of William Penn’s other championship sons and daughters? Shouldn’t we extend congrats to these proud champions too? Splash Lagoon – Largest Indoor Waterpark on [...]
According to hazy reports from ESPN.com a team called the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated a team called the Detroit Red Wings in a sport referred to as “hokey” (sic?). This is certainly the first I’ve heard of this Stanley Cup Championship but I’m sure it’s a rather large accomplishment. It seems that the Penguins championship is [...]

In case you missed it (and if the attached picture is any indicator, you did) there was a “Save the Coyotes” rally at the Native New Yorker in Glendale on Saturday. According to reports, there were between 250 and 500 people attending the rally. In other words, the usual crowd for a Tuesday night game [...]

Former Cardinal Travis LaBoy could miss the entire 2009 season – Now the Cards releasing LaBoy looks even smarter than it did last week. I haven’t had the story confirmed yet but I’d imagine that LaBoy’s bones are made up of a combination of paper mache, spit, and chewing tobacco. Westgate City Center says no [...]

In the wake of their Game 5 loss in Pittsburgh, Capitals star and super-spy Alexander Ovechkin has apparently guaranteed that the Caps will defeat the Penguins in Game 6 of the 2nd round (?) of the Eastern Conference (? research be damned) playoff series. I may not watch a whole lot of hockey but I’m [...]

In case you haven’t noticed, things are going great over in Glendale with the Phoenix NHL [insert your name here] Coyotes. (Seriously, what do I have to do to get you into an NHL franchise today? This shit is priced to move.) Many of these trials and tribulations have already been summarized on this fine [...]
