"Active" players cannot also be employees of the NHL. Chris Pronger has not officially retired, yet he works for the NHL while still on the Flyers payroll. My guess is that this is a wink-wink deal to keep the NHL safe from a concussion lawsuit brought forth by Pronger.

His conversation with the woman from Denver about "abstract" nicknames open to interpretation by each individual and how it resonated with him was hardly taken out of context.

Going overboard is one thing...JR bawling on national TV like a schoolgirl who skinned her knee at recess is another.

Why is anyone surprised? Abstracters like Karl love it! And you can't spell "sUNDogs" without "UND," right?

Well, that's probably a stretch when it comes to Little Caesar's, but that's what they call it.

I guess you can thank Abraham Lincoln for not ordering the plundering, pillaging, looting, and burning of the entire Confederacy as punishment for the Civil War. It was only because of him that the rebels were to be treated as what they were once again - American citizens.

Actually, as a fan of the Red Wings, I just happen to have watched a lot of Detroit/Chicago games. It's hilarious listening to Roenick, Milbury, etc. ramble on and on about Chicago's always-loyal hockey fans. It wasn't all that long ago that they were practically giving away Blackhawks tickets with $5 Little Caesar's pizzas.

And yet, it's in the final seven!

Watching Germany and France trade like 100 penalty kicks was enough to make me want to gouge my eyes out.

Lucic to Los Angeles? I talked to Goon via Skype earlier today and here was his reaction...

The #31 pick, the #36 pick, and a future second rounder, all for the #24 pick.

Minnesota's obsession with hometown kids, whether it be hockey or hoops, continues. Soooo predictable that the Wolves would make a trade for Tyus Jones.

Here's where the "abstract" forces unite and eliminate "just North Dakota" and Roughriders from consideration. I just can't picture a world where a white guy will meet the requirements for a logo as envisioned by this committee.

How in the world does this total buffoon keep getting re-elected every six years?

I know The Sicatoka has mentioned several times how divisive the name "Sundogs" is, yet here we are, with it having a 1 in 7 shot at being our new nickname. Just wait until it's got a 33% chance and watch the sweat start rolling down some foreheads.

Interesting comment from someone who absolutely ridiculed Stewart Milles III for being born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Whoa! Didn't see that one coming.

Me.

Meh. I'm all about branding and logo recognition.

I'm sure Paulina helped cure his ailments last night...

And that's unusual how?

Florida has more than one Seminole tribe, at least from what I've read on the subject. Not all of them support the nickname.

Preach it, brother!

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! TIGER WOODS IS FINISHED.

They can also stop chanting "WE WANT THE CUP!" in the opening round of the playoffs.
