Ruined Radio
I’m going to admit that I am not much of a radio listener. If it isn’t NPR or Reds baseball or a Hockey game, I have little use for it. This isn’t because I find radio to be passé or anything. It’s because corporations like Clear Channel have virtually ruined radio as we know it. ...Read more.
Things Noticed
I am, by no means, a Chris Pronger fan. He’s a cheap shot artist, willing to stomp on a player’s leg as he is taking head shots and his numerous suspensions only hold up to his gooning it up ability. Who can forget the time in the 2002 playoffs when Pronger tried to hit Steve ...Read more.
Hockey Gone Wild
It’s a quiet nice of Hockey and beer here at ye olde Asylum. Nurse Lenia has been keeping my stein topped off with incredible nectars and Mr. Knock is all tuckered out on the couch. He gets so ramped up for these games but the little guy gets all worn out by the third period. ...Read more.

His job in Hockey games is to drop the puck during faceoffs, call icing, call offsides, and separating players during fights & scrums. But last night, Miller did ...Read more.
Wait until next year…
It’s the refrain no sports fan wants to hear. A few days ago, I railed against a team that seemed spiritless, punchless, disappointing. Earlier tonight, I tried to make amends for that stupid mistake. Mea culpa, my fellow fans. Tonight, the Jackets have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It was not on a ...Read more.
Nationwide Pride
Forgive me, fellow Jackets fans, for I have sinned. Although I do have several misgivings about this team, several things that are frustrating, infuriating, and maddening, I gave up on you. So tonight, as you strive to stave off elimination, I will be cheering you on. Since Day One, I’ve been with you. Why am ...Read more.
