Aye, What Channel Does Hockey Come On?

The Stanley Cup is on!? I had absolutely no clue. It’s funny because it was on around this same time last year, and the year before. Since I haven’t watched NBC on a normal basis in who knows how long, the chances of me catching any bit of the series is -1 in 0.

Aside from the fact that I have never watched a complete hockey game on television, there’s no need for me to venture to NBC, especially since the NBA finals are on ABC. Oh yeah, and the basic tv channels never get any attention from me unless big televised events of my interest are airing.

Hockey can only retain my attention when there’s a fight, plain and simple. I discussed this factor when I was talking about the Indy 500 and I equated hockey fights to racing car crashes. I know, childish right?

The Boston Bruins VS Vancouver Canucks, and I have no idea who the fuck is better. The Canucks got the series lead 2-0, and since I don’t know who’s good on either team then I guess the Canucks are. I can’t wait to not care who wins the Stanley Cup this year!


Shaq Retired

After 19 seasons, Shaq retired today … via Twitter! Somebody please tell me no one else has quit their job via social network. Shaq, you the man for announcing one of life’s biggest decisions in the most casual way possible.

Shaq did his thing in the NBA though. He won four championships, one with Miami and three with the Lakers. You have to expect to see him in the Hall of Fame.

I was always a fan of Shaq, even when he played for the Lakers, and all through his crazy times in Miami. He had a few controversial stories rise about his life off the court within the last five years, but he’s still one of the greatest.

Good job Shaq. Your presence will be missed on the court.
