Okay, maybe respectable isn't the right word, but he wasn't always a horse's ass like he is now.

Skip Bayless tried to sell a book by claiming Troy Aikman was a closeted homosexual. This is who Skip Bayless is and who he always has been.

So if the Blues put a franchise in Kansas City, that means The Vegas Whatevers will have to affiliate with the Wolves, right? Hey, it worked out great for the Thrashers! 

NHL using the Olympics as a wedge issue to divide players among themselves and create a foundation to justify the next lockout, two days after Bill Daly, speaking at a Hockey Hall of Fame induction weekend event, said fans care about their teams, not about superstar players. Okay, now it feels like the NHL season is underway! 

According to Sidney Crosby, 'taint none better. 

Doesn't it feel like purple/yellow/green is a little played out for New Orleans? Speaking from experience, I love the Chicago flag as a design element for the Fire and Red Stars, but then the Bulls slapped it on every available space and the Hawks crammed it into their Stadium Series jerseys and, woof, enough.

I'm starting a petition to rename the team the New Orleans Baby Arms. 

And a "Baby Cake" isn't an actual thing, right? Aren't they King Cakes?

I get that there isn't much time to make the change, but I don't know how well that setup is going to work. Razor's work is so polished as a color guy that I don't see him being all that great over all when it comes to doing the nuts-and-bolts PbP. Ludwig's never struck me as anything special during the intermissions, either.

Dave Strader, known primarilty as one of the voices you're glad to hear instead of Doc Emrick when it's playoff time on NBCSN, is undergoing treatment for a rare and aggressive form of bile duct cancer. Hopefully he's back to call Stars games with Daryl Reaugh sooner than later.

Don't put Peter Thiel's name in the same sentence as "bigger beef," or you'll end up on the list, too.

Yeah, the billionaire class was just handed a blueprint of how to shut down any media organization critical of them, but Gawker was Mean And Bad Sometimes, so no harm, no foul.

And Gawker gets shut down next week, though its sister sites live on. Peter Thiel wins.

The Schreiners.

Nine teams in Wisconsin, and the Woodchucks don't have the sense to go back to calling themselves "Wausau."

I wonder where their expansion partner will be, or if they just get a relocation. Rockford seems doomed already.

I've been pushing for a doc on the league called "Lockout to Lockout" which would chronicle the sport in that 10 season period from 95-04, which would cover sunbelt expansion, Avs-Red Wings, the dead puck era, and the league's financial hardships. 

 

or just Avs-Red Wings deserves it's own story. The only thing that tried was Adrian Dater's book and Adrian Dater sucks.

I was at a Blackhawks blog charity event a couple years ago, and one of the booby prizes for the raffle was a copy of "Blood Feud." I won it, promptly took it to the men's room, stuck it in a urinal, and advised everyone of its location.

OJ's guilty as hell (and somehow became a worse person after killing two people!), but if I was on that jury hearing about all the various clown cars that evidence passed through, I'd be hard-pressed not to acquit. The system offered reasonable doubt in spades.

Really, if you haven't watched it, make a point to. It offers more detail on the proceedings, and more context for them, than I could have fathomed.

God, I wish somebody had told me this was an option, like, 15 years ago.

Savvy businessman. That face alone will drive me to drink.

Also, I realize the business model on Cowherd's end isn't about the ratings, but his show averaged 52,000 viewers nationwide last week. 19,000 in the Adults 18-49 demo. That's dang close to "nobody's watching" territory. I wish the same success upon his and Whitlock's joint venture.

Looks like Strombo will have more time on weekends for choking parties with Jian Ghomeshi: He's gone from HNiC, and Ron McLean is back to anchor the faltering enterprise. Of course, you could put Ernie Johnson in charge there, and it wouldn't matter as long as Healy, Cox, and Stock are still farting over the vast majority of your airtime.

Didn't the Caps attempt a couple of preseason games in Baltimore, then say "Yeah, we can't afford to have our players die in September for thr sake of regional outreach"?

I read something about how Jennifer Garner's Capital One commercials are more than just Capital One commercials. It's a minor miracle I'm not dead by my own hand.

Simmons is getting paid more than seven million dollars a year to oversee that type of quality content. The approximate expected ROI is me stuffing my genitals in a Salad Shooter.

He had a plan in motion to get the money back, but it Staaled out.

And now SinBin.vegas is reporting the recommendation has been made. Vegas will get franchise 31 in 2017-18, Québec will be told to eat a bag of, how do yoy say, le dicks, and the league will continue to hope and pray that an arena gets built in Seattle somehow while presumably taking over Carolina and attempting to bleed out local officials.
