We gon’ go all night.  We gon’ light it up.  Like it’s dynamite!  ‘Cause I told you once.  Now I told you twice.  We gon’ light it up.  Like it’s dynamite!  -Taio Cruz

Public Service Announcement:  What?  You didn’t know?  Maybe you didn’t hear about it.  You’ve been away a long time.  They didn’t go up there and tell you.  They didn’t go up there and tell you hockey season started last night.  That’s right sports fans, the hottest game on earth is back.  Back in the back of a Cadillac.  Number one with a bullet, it’s a power pack.  In case you missed it, here’s a power pack of notes from last night:     Read More »

Chipper Jones And Other Career Ending Injuries

Of our elaborate plans, the end.  Of everything that stands, the end.  No safety or surprise, the end.  I’ll never look into your eyes…again.  -The Doors

Public Service Announcement:  On Tuesday night, as he turned to throw across his body after fielding a ground ball up the third base line by the Astros’ Hunter Pence, Chipper Jones injured his knee.  He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and is facing season-ending surgery.  Perhaps even career ending surgery.  Behind Hank Aaron, Chipper is the best player the  Atlanta Braves have ever had.  Behind Mike Schmidt, Chipper is the best hitting third baseman baseball has ever seen.   His loss is a loss to us all.  Chipper Jones wanted to go out on his terms.  He’s not the only one.  In light of this revoltin’ development, lets have a look at some other career ending injuries.  Shall we?  Sure we shall:            Read More »

For candle after candle and you still couldn’t wax this.  I be the wickedest while you’re still the wackest.  I need wallpaper to list what your track missed.  -Naughty By Nature

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  First things first.  First thing is Martin Brodeur is the best goalie I have ever seen in my life.  All those wins.  All those shutouts.   All those rings.  All those Vezina Cups.  All those William M. Jennings Trophies.  All those All-Star appearances.  That Calder Cup.  Everything.  Sweet sassy molassy!  They don’t call him Satan’s Wallpaper for nothing.  But if anybody has got Martin Brodeur’s number, that somebody is Simon Gagne.  Jenny, I got your number.  I need to make you mine.  Jenny, don’t change your number.  8-6-7-5-3-0-9.  More like 18.         Read More »

It’s a family affair, it’s a family affair.  It’s a family affair, it’s a family affair.  -Sly & The Family Stone

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  I’m sick.  Real sick.  Puking bile sick.  Not too sick to spread rumors though.  Fun rumors.  Juicy rumors.  Like my main man Flavor Flav always says, “We got Magnum Brown, Juicy Valooski.  Super-calafraga-hestik-alagooski.”  Ahhh love.  Exciting and new.  Come aboard, we’ve been expecting you.  We weren’t expecting this.  According to The Philly Four, Jeff Carter had an affair with Scott Hartnell’s wife and the entire Flyers locker room is split over the situation.  Yowza!  Yowza!  Yowza!      Read More »

They say it’s your birthday.  We’re gonna have a good time.  I’m glad it’s your birthday.  Happy birthday to you.  -Beatles

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Like my main woman Betty Davis always says, “Getting old ain’t for sissies.”  Danny Briere ain’t no sissy.  He’s all man.  A man with a plan.  His plan:  Win hockey games.  Last night, on his 32nd birthday, Danny Briere scored in overtime to earn the Flyers a 6-5 victory over the Capitals.  Happy birthday Danny!  For those of you keeping score at home, Briere just became was the fifth NHL player to score a regular-season overtime goal on his birthday since the five-minute OT rule was introduced in 1983.  The other players to do that were Mattias Norstrom, Nicklas Backstrom, Shaone Morrisonn and Brett Clark.

Peace out homies!  Six Two and Even!

I hear you knocking but you can’t come in.  I hear you knocking, go back where you been.  -Dave Edmunds

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  Powerplay? Powerplay?  We don’t need no stinkin’ powerplay.  Not when Mike Richards is around the Flyers don’t.  Last night, Mike Richards scored a shorthanded goal in the Flyers loss to the Penguins.  Last night, Mike Richards scored his third consecutive game with a shorthanded goal.  Big deal you say?  Who cares you say?  I say, Mike Richards is the first player in Flyers history to score a shorthanded goal in three straight games and the first in the NHL since Joe Sakic back in ’98.  Yowza!       Read More »
