Coburn is ready for the new season

Meet the Mets (New York Mets fight song)

This ones for you Jon Buddy.
Maybe the will change the words from socking the ball to sucking the ball.

What a loser team.

"Is Gary Bettman Running the Debates?"

A debate on a Friday night?
Who set this up the NHL?
During the a Friday night? When people are at Highschool football games, on dates, getting hammered, watching baseball, sleeping, or at the movies.

WHat on earth are they thinking?
I have plenty of things I can do tonight. I could go to Chickies in Petes with a bunch of people or a party that will have the PHillies game on. SEriously, a Friday night??

ARe they out of touch that much?

I know its important and all too watch but lots of people have obligations on a Friday night.

"Bailout"

So let me get this straight.


Banks gave money to people that they shouldn't give money to. People that are a risk to loan money to and never had the means or intention to pay back the bank. In some causes the bank didnt have any money in the vault to give to these people they just wanted to jump on the housing boom bandwagon. Than the banks because they don't know how to run a business go belly up. The government goes in, the government trillions of dollars in debt mind you goes in and buys them out.

Can I get the government to pay my student loads? Since I dont feel like paying them.

"I hate Nedved

Always hated this guy. Now this loser is trying to play for the Rangers. Its bad enough having this tool before, now he is washed up.
http://www.nj.com/rangers/index.ssf/2008/09/fans_on_the_new_york_rangers_f.html


He might be one of the most talentless players to ever sit out an entire NHL season for money. THankfully he never got what he wanted.

What a joke. It made me sick when we got this guy. I thought it was funny that we ended up sending him to the PHantoms during the lost season. Mr. puck hog had to ride the bus all the time and sit with all the AHLers. If only we could have paid him a lot less.

This guy is seriously just in it for the money, and has zero heart. The Rangers are just stupid. Shanny wants to come back and they are messing around with this moron? Seriously you want an old school guys, SIgn up Shanny. He has heart and talent. I think he could still play the game.

I guess I should be glad a team this stupid is in our divison. Does this guy have pictures of NHL GMs in embarassing situations or something?

I hate this guy.

AOL SUCKS

when I blog in AOL it formats the blog entry to one long paragraph. I am too lazy to type it again in another application. Sorry.

"Hatch"

Derian Hatcher's days in the NHL are likely over. He is going to be on the long term IR for the start of the season. This is good because it cures the Flyers cap room problem and they don't (not saying they wont) have to deal Upshall or Knuble. Also, players like Dowd and Berard can be signed if they make a good enough case for themselves. I would just like to say that I think Hatcher kind of got a bad rap. He was not build for the new NHL, but I think he was able to change his game eventually and became an effective player. Yeah speed is important but so is that quiet leader type that can just punish guys that skate over the blueline. Hatcher was that guy and we dont seem to have another guy to fit that role just yet. Hatch gave it his all and his body was in terrible shape and he was in awful pain yet he played through it and was a big part of our PK last year. I know a lot of people hated him. He would frustrated me sometimes, but I think he helped out last season. The guy was never an asshole about it when the fans turned on him and I think helped pass work ethic on to our younger guys. It rumored that Hatch will get a cushy job with the Flyers. I hope so, because he certainly earned it playing with blown out knees last season. YEah he was slow, but its time to give Hatch some love. Again I think people just used him too much as punching bag. Good luck Hatch, and if you come back, please dont plow over Lupul again. We just signed him for a few more years and he cant get his spine all burised up again.

"Rick Reverse Curse"

Last summer at our local bar. I was watching the Phillies while Rick was putting money in the box to hear some tunes.

It was mid-July and the phils were struggling big time. PAt the Bat cracked on and tied it up. I started clapping in the mostly empty bar. RIck turned back to me with a look of digust.

"WHat are you doing?!? The season is over!"

Over the rest of the season he told me time and time again they WONT make the playoffs.
We know how that ended.

AGain this summer Rick predicted sometime in July.

"No shot"

During this past Thursday's game. I was watching the game at my parents. I send Rick a text, pretty fired up in tone asking if he was watching the Phils.

HE fired back

"They are done"

I responded the current score thinking he didnt realize that they pulled into the lead in the game. He responded back.

"3 games back season is over"

They have not lost a game since. Now they are not only ahead of the Brewers who the swept but ahead of the Mets.

Its looking like they are going to sneak in yet again.

"Hockey Moms"

So I keep hearing the term hockey mom during the election. Although I am fired up to hear the word hockey being said in so many important politic talks. I don't undersand what the heck even makes you a hockey mom.

First off as a soccer mom I guess you have to be an old enough that you are zipping your kid to sports all the time. What about the kids dont like sports? I dont know. I guess they would have to have kids like age 7 ? 8?

But is the sport that makes it different? Now according to a keep google, Hockey moms are "more intense" than soccer moms. What the heck does that mean they speed in their minivans? They stay up to 10:30 on Saturday nights not 10pm like the Soccer Mom counter parts?

"Party on!"

I wanted bad ass Flyers picture for the count down to the season.
I did several image searches. I found a real cool one, but everyone was gone in the picture except Gags.

I did one for Jeff Carter and Mike Richards. This awesome picture came up of Richie and Carts living it up with some young ladies. NOt sure when it was taken. I actually think they might be goofing around. Looks like the cap is still on the bottle. Regardless its a cool picture.

Almost time to get back to the rink though boys.

"Old Man and the Rink"

Chris Cheilos is back for one more go around.
The 46 yearold d-man signed one more year with the redwings.

http://myespn.go.com/s/conversations/show/story/3578543

He is closing in on the oldest dude ever to play the game.

Sweet.
Hextall broke his wrist once back in the mid 80s and now I think Hexy's son close to becoming a professional hockey player.

Fun Facts:
I was 3 maybe 4 the first time he played an NHL game
This is CHeilos 25th season in the NHL

Neither Crosby or Alex O were born yet when he started playing in the NHL
he is 28 years older than the youngest player in the NHL.

He is good friends with Dr. Cox

HE is his own resturant Chellis Chilli

Someone was stabbed and killed at his resturant a few years ago
CHeilos was a healthy scratch during all games of the finals last season
.
An intoxicated Cheilos droped the cup and banged it up pretty bad last spring, while handing it to someone at the bar at his resturant.

The other dude dropped it and it slammed on the floor.

He also drunkenly left the cup behind in a cab. (although that might have just been an interenet rumor)

"People are Just Stupid"

I saw the very funny Tropic Thunder this past week.


The movie stars Ben Stiller who has voiced characters and cartoons and also did a movie called Night at the Musuem (actually not a bad movie) which was a family movie. THat is only one of the reasons I can imagine that two women brought their two 7 yearold kids to see the movie.

The other two are.

They are just awful parents.
or they were too selfish and drug kids to an R rated movie because no one would watch their little brats.

To be fair the kids were pretty well behaved. But, clearly bored and they kept getting up during the movie. But that is the parents fault. Not only did this movie have about 30 something F-bombs, people getting shot at, drug use, and various other foul words, it was NOT aimed at kids.

What is a 7 year old going to get out of a movie about guys making a movie? I highly doubt the 7 year old got the Apocalypse now reference either.

What is wrong with these people? Go take the kids to see space chimps or spend the money on tickets (almost 10 bucks for adults) on back to school clothes or something!

They ended up walking out of the movie. What did they expect?!? It was rated R. Plus there is this thing called the Internet where you can...I don't know see if its good to bring a 7 year old to or not.

Why are there so many stupid parents out there?

"Phillies"

sigh...

Scrubs - Space Invaders

classic

"I don't like downstairs..."

"Reasons the Flyers Getting Sundin Would be Stupid

* They would have to give up Jeff Carter or Danny Briere to make cap room for him.

* Sundin is awesome dont get me wrong, but he said just this afternoon that he is not sure if he wants to play at all anymore. Sounds like he can still play the game (based on his points from last season) but he might not have the heart to play.

* HE is 38, so what do we sign him for a year? Carter isn't close to his prime. I have to hope that Briere hasn't had his best season ever yet, since we signed him for 6 years!

*Getting rid of Carter after just signing him sends a message to all the young guys we already re-signed are are going to need to.

"Yeah you are the future unless a much older but awesome player comes along, than your out"

* Carter is close with Richards why make our franchise player disgruntled so quickly?

* If Hatch retires frees up cap room and we want an older forward, why not just sign SHanny? he might be cheaper.

* Um, we are a million over the cap now. I think we have to get rid of someone as it is.

frank sinatra - summer wind

For me Summer really goes to the end of September. I mean its going to freaking 90 something the next few days. Its still a great time down the shore (the water is really warm and the fishing is still good).

I have some fun weekends still planned down the shore for the next month before I back it in for the summer.

BUt for most people tomorrow its time to put away the grills and get out football jerseys.

I had a pretty awesome summer down the shore on the weekends hanging at a friends wildwood house or down the campground on the weekends. Went to lots of PHillies games.

Not much of a video here, but its Francis Albert singing one of his best.

"Who in the Hell?"

So the democrats have a candidate that brings people to tears, people line up to see, people shout and scream when he walks past like teenie boopers did to the Beatles back in the 60s and the republicans have a guy who will be entering his late 70s at the end of his first term.

Even the democrats have admitted that most the cable "news" outlets have dropped kicked any kind of unbiased media coverage and just fallen head over heels in love with Obama. Cards are against the war vet guy here.


So, what do the republicans do? They take away their only card they could play the next few months. The whole Obama don't know diddley and toss it in the trash. The select some lady who is unknown outside of Cicely, Alaska. Unknown, because she didnt do anything. She was Governor for what 2 years? I don't know what Governors do out there except try to appeal to the polar bear and moose voters but I know the ones in NJ don't do anything.

Sure shes mildly hot for a women in their 40s who squirted out a litter of rug rats, but if McCain gets sick or passes away it will be like a bad Gena Davis show in the white house.

Speaking of Gena Davis. Anyone remember Lori PEtty who played her sister in A League of Their Own? Well I caught part of Tank Girl on Encore this morning. Man I don't care how bad that movie was Lori Petty looked wicked hot in that. Its a shame that movie killed her career, well maybe she could be our next VP ?

SET FREEEEEEEEEE

summer of 06, old school WB MASON. GO PHillies!

"Post Gaming"

There are two types of people I go to Phillies games with. Group 1 People who are happy for a night out at the ball park and watch the game. We talk about the game all night and comment on the players. The 2nd group is the type that basically binge drink and look for loose women.

Thursday nights game I went with the later. Which kind of sucked because I had been looking forward to the Phils Mets match up when I bought the tickets in April. Most other games I go to, I sit down and watch the entire game. Except for the game in April when I had to give into the group that had zero desire to watch the game. We were all intoxicated in the parking lot, made it into the stadium only to watch one inning before our fun leader led us into the over priced barin the bank.

We hung out at MccFaddens where my friend knew the bartender and she was really cute and cool. We got to see a Mets fan tossed out of the bar. This time last year I didnt leave my seat once during the MEt/Phils game and I think I jinxed them. When we went to the bar in the 8th inning the team fell apart. At this point it was hard to actually focus on the game anyway.

Later we went back to Clancy's in Westville ( or whatever town that is)where most of us had left our cars. My one drunken friend wanted to play Sleep with, kill, and marry with the bartender. We started with famous people than he asked about us adding have kids with because they were four of us. I must say I was happy to be in the sleep with list and honored to be in the same class as Mike Richards and Alicia LAne (how hot is that?). HOwever, I am pretty sure it might have had something to do with me being the least drunk.

Later I did find out that she is a huge Flyers fan which just makes her even hotter. THan we left (the older dude peaced out so it was the three of us) going down the street to the worst bar ever. The Pennant. Yeah, if you like to go to a bar with weirdo people, slutty girls and dudes looking to fight than this is the place for you.

Oddly enough if my one friend hadnt named dropped we wouldnt get in. He had a friend that worked there and he had to use his pull to get us in. Apperently the trashy hall in the wall during a night called WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY doesnt allow people with Jerseys to walk into the bar. He had on a Ryan Howard jersey. I was wearing a 14.99 Phils t-shirt and he was wearing a $100 jersey. Whats the deal? Is that Gangsta colors or something? Clearly about 45 percent of the bar came from the game ( its right over the bridge and cheap on Weds) because everyone was decked out in Phillies shirts. It made no sense to me at all.

NOw I dont mind bars that are a bit fancier like in Center City where its understood if you dont wear a nice button down shirt you will look like a slob. BUt I mean, the PEnnant??!?! what the hell. After one of the biggest games of the year, and someone just wants to wear a jersey.

We all eventually got seperated and I just peaced out. Promising again to myself that I would never step foot in that awful place. A funny night with a few other things I shouldn't post on here going down.

Pavement - Cut Your Hair

I miss the 90's
What ever happened to these guys? Funny there is part of the song talking about new bands coming and going.
The video has a guy in an ape suit getting a hair cut and a dude sneezing out a kitty cat.
