Heidi Comes Before Hockey
Random thoughts while wondering whatever happened to Mike Dunne:
- I've already addressed Saturday's debacle at the beer garden. The Sox play for pride Sunday and face Carlos Zambrano in a big game. Cubs fans get your brooms ready.
- In the chase for Lord Stanley's cup, as predicted in this column, Ottawa is on it's way to the Stanley Cup Finals, defeating the Sabres in OT 3-2. Unfortunately, many people didn't get to see it because of NBC pulling the plug on the game before the overtime started because of the pre-race festivities for the Preakness. The game was moved to Versus, which is great if you have Versus. So, what have we learned from this? 1) The people at NBC who schedule these things are morons for not thinking that maybe a game could go to overtime and starting the game earlier and 2) in the sports universe, a bunch of animals running around a track is more important than the Stanley Cup playoffs in the eyes of NBC. Gary Bettman needs to get on the phone and rip someone at the network a new one. Of course, since he's with a hockey league, they'll probably route him to Lorne Michaels.
- Too bad the Sabres lost because Chris Drury is my new hero.
- Memo to Chris Pronger: When you get a game suspension on a questionable call, best not bitch about the refs prior to a game your team really needs to win.
- Torrie Hunter and Lew Ford must think they are playing the White Sox. Meanwhile, the Brewers are heading back toward earth at an alarming rate of speed.
- A horse broke down in one of the pre-Preakness races and had to be euthanized. That reminds me, has anyone seen my glue?
- Beating the White Sox makes the Cubs sport wood. They may have even more Wood on Monday.
- Athletes like being on reality shows. You can hear the wheels turning at ESPN even as we write.
- In the Dale Earnhardt Jr. sweepstakes, Rick Hendrick tells Junior he doesn't have any room for him at HMS. Besides, I doubt Junior wants to go anywhere where he'd be the third best driver. I still think if Joe Gibbs can get over the Budweiser issue, that's a perfect fit and great insurance if Tony Stewart finally shoots his foot off.
- College co-eds in Hattiesburg, Mississippi are suddenly nervous. Very nervous.
- The effects of Alzheimer's may be eventually be lessened by diet. That is, if you can remember what the diet is.
- At this Maine school, score one for the Goth kids. Where the hell are the parents?
- Every liberal's worst nightmare. Featured for comedic value, not political statement.
