Oh the humanity

By Brad Lee

11.Â Excuse me, but I was leaning against this two-foot wide piece of glass in the corner wedged between two fat guysÂ first. You'll have to find your own premium spot to watch the game.

10.Â Will you please stop breathing in my ear?

Â 9.Â Â Â Hey, you got a rubberband? I really need to go.

Â 8.Â Dammit, I knew getting here at noon wasn't going to be early enough.

Â 7.Â I thought I'd be the only one here wearing aÂ Chelyabinsk Traktor jersey with Skachkov on the back. Crap.

Â 6.Â If I give T.J. Oshie a $20 bill after the game, does that mean he has to turn pro?

Â 5.Â Don't you think it's a little weird that you know this much about 18-year-old boys from Sweden?

Â 4.Â It'd be a lot easier to see in this crowd if the guys up front would either pass out from being pressed up against the glass or if they kept their mullets better trimmed in the summer.

Â 3.Â See that guy over there eating the chicken strips? He told me earlier that he saved them from the free food game last season.

Â 2.Â I swear people, I will find the person who is farting in this crowd and end them.

Â 1.Â So this is what hope looks like.

I see as much Prospect Department in No. 5 as I see myself in No. 2.

Luckily I wasn’t there Friday, so I’m in the clear.

No. 9 was dedicated to my eighth grade history teacher, Mr. Beckmeyer. If a boy in class would ask to use the restroom during his lecture, he’d take a rubberband off of his wrist, put it on the kid’s desk and keep talking. Good times. Good times.

Did he have a cork for when the girls asked?

Um…OK I guess some people think Mullets are not cool or soemthing? Dude, in the summer you got let that stuff go. Most people don’t play summer league so you don’t need to worry about how it looks coming out of a helmet. Sheesh!

AM: I say you gotta keep that shit short during a St. Louis summer, especially when there’s 170 percent humidity outside like right now. You know how many Busch Lights a guy has to drink while cooling his heels in a kiddy pool to stay comfortable? The mullet is just extra insulation I don’t need right now.

I can see where you are coming from but sometimes you have to pay the price for fashion Bro. The ladies love the locks. Yes, I do have a pretty good idea on the number of Busch Lights it takes. Holy smokes, I’m thinking of making that into a thesis. Thanks for lookin’ out though. I still owe you a cold one from last season. I don’t forget. I’ll make sure to hook you up.
