 What if I told you there was a sport you could watch that had the hard hitting of football, the athleticism of basketball, the drama of baseball and fans with the passion of international soccer fans? Add to that pro and semi-pro teams all across the country and that it’s something to get you through the cold days of winter.
The sport I’m referring to is, of course, hockey. And for some reason Americans just won’t get into it. |

 Televised sports really are the ultimate distraction. They feature highly trained adult professionals playing what is essentially a child’s game, while you sit back passively and take it in. Unless they are an owner of the team (or a gambler), this viewer has no vested interest in the outcome of this game, and every minute that’s spent watching it is a minute that cannot and will not be spent doing actually productive things. When you get right down to it, watching sports on TV has no lasting or redeeming value whatsoever. And I love it.

 The floor looks like it smells clean.
It’s not and it doesn’t. It smells like a $500 bottle of Maker’s Mark after it was poured all over two girls from Ohio State who hate whiskey but love expensive things being poured on them. It smells like the business end of a $45 all-you-can-eat buffet, where only 10 minutes ago it lay in the gut of a Maryland fan that had one plate and one drink too many. Like a 4 am, 45 minute champagne room visit that your friends, your bank and your parents pleaded with you to avoid. Like excess. It smells like typical Vegas. |
