Is my problem really a problem?

Tonight, I drafted my first hockey team.  (The other is auto-draft.) I was surprised when I re-reviewed my total team to find 23.8% of my players all come from or played for one team…the Sabres.   Logic would tell anyone…”DRAFT FROM THE WEST YOU DUMBASS!” yet I felt the need to draft from the east…intentionally.  Is there something wrong with me?    Is my sub-conscious trying to tell me that the East might actually be good this year?  Or am I in for another year of Fantasy Hockey depression.

(Because I know you’re interested) My Sabres are: Vanek, Pommerdoodle, Soupy, Goose and Crunchy

Tick, Tick, Tick

Hello, my name is Chaz and I’m a 24-a-holic. 

I’ve tried to get over it and just can’t.  It’s kind of like the Buffalo Sabres.  My only hope is the Sabres sucked while 24 was on hiatus, and now that 24 is back so will be the Sabres.  I mean, this could totally happen, right? 

Anywho, I was watching Monday’s episodes and realized that Brian Campbell is kind of like Tony Almeida.  A dude who once fought for what was right, but is now on the wrong side of the law.  At least that’s what I thought, until the writers threw a freakin’ curve ball at me and made Tony a closet good guy.  That is NOT somewhere I’m willing to go with Brian Campbell yet.  I can’t help it, he had me at spin-o-rama.  Now don’t get me wrong, on a whole I like the Hawks.  Patty Kane, Patty Sharp, Jonny Toews, what’s not to like?  Oh, right, Brian Campbell.  Give me time Soupy, give me time and I’m sure I’ll come around.  I don’t look at Dru or Danny the way I used too, but it took time. 

Tonight will be difficult for me.  See, my other passion is SU basketball.  I grew up watching ‘Cuse games, and tonight is a biggie.  The #8 ranked Orangemen will be taking on #13 Georgetown.  For those of you unfamiliar, it’s like the Sabres taking on the Leafs.  It’s huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.  My only consolation is the game starts at 7:30, so I’ll get a good half hour of B-Ball before the channel flipping begins.

The Small Bus

Ok, let’s be honest with each other for a minute.  We’ve all, at some point or another, wondered if Soupy didn’t really ride the small bus to school as a kid.  Soupy is seriously close to his parents, yet they don’t seem to ever tell him, close your mouth when you’re just standing there.  Don’t cry in public.  It seems they either don’t do this, or Soupy’s attention span does not allow for him to ever remember what his parental units tell him.  Consider the following exhibits as proof.

 Exhibit A

Uhh

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exhibit B

Uhhh...Deux

Exhibit C

Duh

Exhibit D

Last but not least, duh

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Ok, I lied

So, I was going to wait until tomorrow and enjoy laying into whatever team was stupid enough to pay Cream of Soupy 15 billion dollars a day to do a few spin-o-rama’s.  Unfortunately, my cup of joy hath run over.  Why?

 

That little gold fur ball he coughed up is actually his new contract and I for one could NOT be happier.  Welcome back to Buffalo, gooser.  I hope you spent your entire European vacation convincing Ryan Miller that Buffalo is better than De-riot.
