Violence has been a part of hockey since at least the early 1900's. According to the book Hockey: A People's History, in 1904 alone, four players were killed during hockey games from the frequent brawls and violent stickwork.

I know these 3 clips have nothing to do with sports, but I thought that it would be entertaining because all you need to do is laugh sometimes.  I will probably post 3 videos every so often so stay tuned, I guess:

Being a fan of the NFL, by all accounts right now I should be doing nothing but preparing for the "holiest" of all days...Super Bowl Sunday.  Now don't get me wrong, I will watch the game on Sunday and enjoy it, but I really don't get into all the hype that precedes it.  In fact, I really dislike the fact that two weeks must commence between the AFC/NFC Championships and the overall title game (although I DO like the fact that it gives the players a chance to rest up in order to give their best performances).  However, at about this time every year, I start to become hooked by another sport...bowling.  I'm usually just a baseball (Twins) and football (Vikings) guy (I haven't watched an entire basketball or hockey game in years), so that February-March void needs to be filled with something (and Spring Training doesn't quite cut it).  Thus, I turn my attention to bowling.  Whether it be lacing up the flattened shoes at the actual alley or watching the pros break a sweat over every ball, I love what the sport of bowling represents: the idea that a task (knock down ten pins) that looks so easy can be so frustrating.

…..are like pitchers of beer at the St. Simons bowling alley. 

 Eight days until the Dawgs take on Georgia Tech.

All's quiet in Butts-Mehre this weekend. The players are huddling with family and friends for a change and the coaches are surely huddling with future players they hope will choose to wear silver britches. The only sound coming from the building is a dryer full of wet laundry someone left running. Let's see if we can sort through it.

Everyone knows that little kids are dumb.  They will pull a pot of boiling water down on themselves, or put small objects in their mouths, or grab sharp objects by the wrong end.  Parents in the animal kingdom may have to expend all of their energy protecting their young from outside predators, but human parents know that most of the time, the biggest danger to a child is himself.  Protecting a baby from himself is a tiring job for sure, but if the baby survives to adulthood with minimal injuries, it can be quite rewarding.

Giants win.  It's not like we didn't see this coming.  It's not like we expected Brad Johnson to be this 40-year-old superman overnight.  Anyone with half a brain (I mean you Shesawn) could see that Dallas limped into Giant stadium, just about half the team they were when they started the season.  Yet the Giants celebrated like they won the Super Bowl in November.  That just speaks volumes.

37? I repeat, 37?

As a man, I actually feel for Barack Obama. Bowling a 37 is just, well, it's embarrassing. All the more so when you consider that most presidents, at least those in the 20th and 21st centuries, have played some type of sport as a form of relaxation and escape--usually golf--and demonstrated at least a little bit of athleticism.

Remembering the Crappy Braves

After 14 years of getting to the postseason, the Braves have failed two years straight.  For Braves fans who are in high school or college they only know what being a winner is.  Perhaps these fans have been spoiled by always having a team to watch in October even if they make us the fan equivalent of Charlie Brown always believing he is going to kick Lucy’s football.
