The topic of the day in the sports world today is not the pathetic performance by Hawaii, or the So. Cal. stomping of Illinois, but the great outdoor game played in Buffalo yesterday. Even non-hockey fans are stating that it was the perfect situation. Snow, sleet, overtime, a shoot out, and 71,00 fans. Unfortunately the out come of the game was not what I was hoping for, but it truly was perfect. Equally unfortunate were the out of touch American sportscasters that kept commenting on the Canadians growing up playing pond hockey. It happened, and still happens in America too. I can only imagine that my brother was thinking the same thoughts while watching the game. Playing on the rink at Fisher, or the lagoons at Greenfield Park. I hope he is now planning on having one of his league games outdoors.
The biggest moron of all of the sportscasters is ESPN's Skip Bayless. He doesn't think hockey should be played on skates because it lowers the scoring chances. He doesn't even consider it a sport. I suppose he wouldn't like to see a no-hitter either. And these walking talking birth defects in the NBA that can raise their arm and touch the rim. Lets not raise it to 12' for fear of making it too challenging. Feel free to send an e-mail to Skippy at ESPN.com. Sorry Skipper, we cant all be fans of pop music sports...ass lick. Sad thing is he's licking from the inside out.
