Also worth noting that, at this time, the Blackhawks were buying airtime to get their games on the radio, and were being labeled the worst-run franchise in North American pro sports. So, uh, congratulations, Carolina!

The whole idea is nuts.

If "Throttle Jockey" isn't a euphemism for masturbation, I don't know what is.

No word on any potential legal action from Ron Jeremy's softball team, The Hung Bammers.

No thanks, I'll just have the salad.

I thought Assistant Captain Hobby Lobbyist and Mike Ribeiro took care of that on their own, but you do you. Glen Sather doing the internal rich-guy chuckle as he says he can think of two or three million reasons not to study players' mental health is some bad screenplay isht. I'd like to be surprised about Mario Lemieux, but didn't he once claim he slept through his teammate violently raping a woman in their room?

I think I've demonstrated over the past several years that I have a pretty high tolerance for NHL owners and executives being unapologetic buffoons and or a-holes. But man, this is awful. There are some genuinely bad people here.

Yeah, Edwards wanted a free billion dollars from the city for all of his sports toys, and when the mayor had the sense to tell him to go screw, he brought in the NHL to try to influence the mayoral election. Murray was stacking Ls all season long on and off the ice. If Murray Edwards thinks he can do better with one team in Houston than he can with four teams in Calgary, I advise him to go ahead and try his luck.

If they do go with Crop Dusters, I'm rechristening the Ballpark Village as "The Dutch Oven."

The theory rumbling in my brain is that Dundon, a vulture capitalist by trade whose big windfall came from predatory auto loans, is going to run the franchise all cheap and bare-bones until he can flip it to Quebecor, who will pay an NHL-mandated premium price for it. Rod Brin-da-who? him. He's just an employee. I got mine, bye.

"I don't want to spend any money on this crap I bought, but apparently there's something called a *emphatic air quotes* "salary floor" that I have to adhere to. Donny, your job is two jobs now. Okay, who around here wants to be head coach? No raises."

The Chicago Dogs, as part of their "Wiener Wednesdays" promotion, will wear alternate "WIENERS" uniforms. https://thechicagodogs.com/promotions/ People of Franklin, do not name your team after a walking fart.

The Hurricanes aren't just done, they're Dundon.

Haymakers or Barn Owls or force the team to play in Zion until they fold for picking such a godawful name.

I thought that was going to happen with Vinnie Viola. Shows what I know!

Yes. The Milwaukee Ketchups.

Dogs definitely tried doing too much at once. It's very Rosemont of them to force "CHICAGO" into the uniform at every opportunity, though. I'm surprised it isn't printed down the sides of the pants.

The Hurricanes have hired Rick Dudley to work with Don Waddell, after literally no one they were interested in wanted to be their GM. Disruptive Brain Genius Tom Dundon is building success through the 2010-11 Atlanta Thrashers front office.

Well, he'll ride that right through Easter weekend.

The FHL is the uncle doing time that we do not talk about in this house.

I've always gone with Skatin' Punchin' Hollerin' League, but I think "Slapdash" would be a nice fit, too. I give them credit for somehow enduring, though. This whole thing started as a feeder league for the aborted WHA reboot!

I'd imagine the SPHL has their eyes on Moline, since Peoria is apparently staying there.

Goff said their show was #3 in Males 25-54 in the ratings, which is great, unless ESPN 1000 was #1 or #2, in which case it's awful. It's obviously better listening to have people who know how to talk and know what they're talking about on the radio. Jason Goff and Spiegel worked well together, and Jason on his own had some excellent moments of being more of a real person than probably anyone else in the lineup. But I can see how it becomes a hard sell with ad breaks stuffed full of strip clubs, football betting tip lines, and sketchy dick pills. You need to engage and placate the knuckle-draggers if that's where you're making your money. Might as well bring back Mike North in mornings and hand the midday over to Chet Coppock and Mancow. It's gotta suck to work at The Score and see Dan McNeil darkening the doorstep again, though. Guy's burned every bridge, can't handle his substances, can't handle his temper, won't show up to work for weeks because of perceived mistreatment, and bombed out on his last gig - so hey, here's our afternoon drive shift for you! 50/50 he doesn't make it to the end of the Bears' season.

Welp, sonebody go dust off David Coverdale. http://arizonasports.com/story/1457604/coyotes-owner-andrew-barroway-discussions-potential-investors/

As much as I'd like to see a jersey with "PECKERS" across the front of it, Fayetteville Fatbacks really flows well, and I hope they select it.
