Attack Of The Killer ZZZZZZZ's

Hockey's back. Woo-hoo. I am so happy. Yay.

The crappiest team sport in North American history has just announced that it wants back into our lives after a completely futile, selfish and self-destructive 13 month vacation. I couldn't be more apathetic about its return. Please, hockey, don't bother me. I liked it better without you.

Damn... I should have waited to post a blog until "Hockey's return" was announced.

I thought the crappiest team sport in America was Family Double Dare. Seriously, what was each team's little sister valuable for other than sliding into giant sundaes?

Gutsy, that was THE FUNNIEST thing I've read in a long time. You're so right, the little sister was always useless on FDD except for sliding into the muck. God that is such a great line. Good one Gutsy!

Beth, the Hockey HoF was really cool and made me appreciate the rich history of the game and how much it means to Canadians and cold-weather Europeans. Even if I tried at this point, I just can't get into it.

I used to like hockey back when I was a 7th and 8th grader and I was even a fan through 1994 when the Rangers won. Since then, the game has gone downhill in the worst way. Its simply unwatchable now.

There are people that find baseball dull in the same way I see hockey. I'm sure those people would appreciate a trip to Cooperstown but, in the end, I doubt they'd change their minds on the game of baseball.

Goldberg, you're 0-for-2 today. Double Dare, in each of its incarnations, was a classic, exciting, breathtaking program. Nowhere else could a human being search for a flag in a giant PB&J sandwich and run a wheel like a gerbil within 10 seconds. Like Beth, I'd gladly accept an invitation to play...

Might I also add that nowhere else could a human being search for a flag in a giant nostril filled with gunk or between two goopy toes. THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!

For the record, I love watching Double Dare, it cracks me up.

Honestly, I was just searching for the most ridiculous team sport that I could think of.

Hart - does this make me 0 for 1 with a walk???

Goldberg, I've checked with the official scorer. Apparently, you indeed reached base here in the 2nd, but only on a throwing error by the second baseman. So you're still 0-for-2.
