Having the first three comedy albums you heard be Class Clown, FM & AM, and Occupation: Foole is tantamount to playing your first three rounds of golf at St. Andrews, Pebble Beach, and Augusta National.

As I said to my dog, "The last three hours have been validated!"

Damnit!

@UkraineNotWeak: What: they couldn't find three hours of bars and tone?

Hell damn fart!

Whomever the color guy is, I want him on every soccer match from now to the end of time. Either him or the guy from The Simpsons.

I'm sorry: did the color guy just say "What the F is he doing?"

I will never forget Keith's intro to the highlights of the final home game of the Hartford Whalers. After railing on Peter Karmanos total mindfuck of Hartford for a good 30 seconds, he ended with a blisteringly angry, "But, hey, it's just the fans, and who gives a damn about them anyway?"

"Can't I just bet that all the horses will have a good time?"

@HockeyMountain: I didn't see any motion of the stick prior to the initial hit. He didn't go out of the crease. The horn sounded, so I can see him standing up at that point.

I watched the play when it was live. Osgood stood up, the game was over, and there was some chippiness. Ribiero could've skated well wide of the goaltender and avoided everything...it wasn't as though he was pushed into the net. And there was no force on Osgood...it's not as though he pushed the butt into Ribiero's…

Let me add to this (which kinda ties back into the Buzz issue) a though I've been rattling around my head since the Buzz incident last week. It revolves around this analogy:

I'm stuck with USAL/BUTL. And while I don't mind losing a first round pick that I've got going out in Round 2, losing my national runner up pick will cause me no end of stress.

HOLY SHIT!!!!

@Jay L.: Coach Dale says his team's on the court.

That's a curious time to foul.

@Yostal: You, sir, have made my Friday. Thank you, good man.

CHARGE! HE GONE!
