What IS is about those Blackhawks? I still get weepy when I see them with the Stanley Cup. It doesn't make sense- they're not even "MY" team! They are one of my teams, and quite an enjoyable bunch of fellas, but they aren't my #1 dudes so WHY do I care so much? Why is it so touching? I never felt this way about the Wings or the Devils and they've won it several times.. I dig them and I got excited when they won, but it didn't make me CRY (multiple times). Maybe I'm just messed up. Who knows.. it's pretty cool though.
this video is Sharp, Toews, Kane and Keith singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame". Totally worth a watch.
Also, this and this are really great stuff. I love how the Blackhawks have worked with the Cubs and the WhiteSox (and I think they have done things with the Bears too) to co-market their athletes. The baseball players seem to think it's really neat to meet the hockey players. :)
I'm tellin ya'll- the Blackhawks PR peeps need a serious raise. They are geniuses.

football
Football is so much more boring than hockey.
Yet I'm watching the Stuperbowl anyway, just cuz it's on and I'm being social with my fam. Seriously though.. it's so SLOW!
So let's talk about hockey instead. I watched a couple of minutes of the game today.. but I followed more on the internet and YAY Caps! Haha Sid- Ovie says "Anything you can do I can do better.." and ups your 2 goals with a hat trick. WORD> :)
I guess I'm cheering for the Saints- so I'll close this pointless entry with Geaux Saints! ;)
And to recap.... the Saints won! I know most of my fam is pretty happy about that. Heh.
I always say this but it needs to be said- every time I watch a Championship that isn't the Stanley Cup, I'm always struck by the lameness of the trophy. Nothing can really compare to Stanley in terms of size or personality. No other trophy has names of everyone who's won it for the last 80 years engraved on it.. No other trophy gets to travel around the world with its players.. The Vince Lombardi trophy might be shiny but it's TINY! And they always give it to everyone else before the players. Not like our glorious league, in which the trophy is carried out on the red carpet with the white gloves.. and presented TO THE CAPTAIN of the team, who then shares it around.. as it should be!
