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.

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 SPHL is like that one uncle you have at a family reunion that you never remember exists until someone points him out

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.

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.

My wife and I have two wonderful boys, and you can go stuff it.

NBCSN has been playing "Shine On Me" by Dan Auerbach for their ASG promos, which is such a fun little throwback of a song.

A guy "from Detroit" who actually grew up in a mansion in the outer rings and has gone from faux-rap to embracing alt-right tinged country over the past two decades is almost too perfect for the NHL, when you take a moment to think about it.

Yeah, but Jay-Z had 2% ownership of the Nets for a week and a half.

I was reminded today that Eugene Melnyk begged his team's fans for a liver transplant, got a donor, and is now talking openly about how unappreciative the fans are in the lead-up to the team's first outdoor novelty game. Even Bill Wirtz would be advising Eugene to ease off.

Can I even stand in the 300-level concourse of the United Center and get continuously kicked in the dick for $100?

Hell, I'll do it to you for sixty!

Especially Sundays.

I really like that leaping full-body fish. The script has a sort of '70s-'80s NPB feel to it. It's too busy in places and the keener eyes are already on the details (the stitching on the baseball looks like it was lifted from another design house entirely,) but it does make me want a hat. That's better than most Brandiose efforts.

The pinstripe/headspoon combo on the jerseys is way too much, though. Pick one.

$650 million to buy an NHL franchise? Huh.

In completely unrelated news, Tom Dundon bought just over half of the Hurricanes for $230 million today.

Also completely unrelated: Maybe 4,000 people turned out tonight to watch Panthers-Jets in Sunrise.
