YouTube is great! That’s all I can say. Why? Because they have a video of Dominic Chianese massacring the anthems, complete with Joe Bowen’s commentary. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! So, enjoy, if you dare.

For The Land Of The Flat, And The Home Of The Tone-Deaf
Holy crap, I’m writing a hockey post. No, steve didn’t hack into my account and write this one. Well, I lied, it’s not really about hockey. It’s about the caterwauling of the national anthems that came before the December 6th game between the Leafs and the Rangers. To summarize, good god it was horrible. It …

This Beats The Donzer Song Any Day
Oh my. I wish something like that could happen with our national anthem. I’m trying to think of what words someone could fuck up to make something nearly this amusing. Hmmm. Anybody got any ideas? Basically, Tony Henry, an English opera singer who spoke 0 Croatian, was askd to sing the Croatian national anthem at …
Thank God
NHL approves new schedule format.And only 3 seasons too late. Honestly, I can’t figure out why they ever bothered changing it in the first place. The reason that was always floated around was that they wanted to create new divisional rivalries and strengthen existing ones, but anybody with a clue should have been able to …
And While I’m Ragging On Beeping things…
Wow. I’m just on a ragging on things theme aren’t I? This weekend, Steve, Barbie, and I got talking about something that always made me raise my eyebrows whenever I thought about it. The practicality of the beeping baseball. Yep, I said beeping baseball. A long time ago, someone thought it would be great if …

Is there a regulation somewhere stating that every time Tampa Bay plays a hockey game, you are required to use the words “bottle Lightning” when reporting on it?? If the answer is no, then I also …
Here’s One For The Hockey Fans
Somebody sent this to me years ago and I always thought it was funny, but for some reason I never got around to putting it up. If you’re not a hockey person there’s a chance that you might be about to get totally lost, and if you’re blind and using a screen reader, the best …
>Go Leafs Go!
>I can’t believe they lost another one. That’s 6 in a row now. I’m starting to think that these guys could find a way to blow a third period lead during a warm-up skate. Ridiculous, that’s all I can say. Speaking of the Leafs, I went down to Toronto to watch them play Atlanta on …
…And Nothing Else Matters
So, the Jays have lost 4 in a row, the Argos are 3rd of 4 teams in the East, the Leafs refuse to open the wallet and sign Carter, I overslept this morning, I’m not even close to done packing with only one day left to do it, I forgot my cell at home… but …
