If Petro turns into a Tom Brady type . . .

hopefully someone has the common sense to shoot him before he gets too full of his own shit. When this guy got his knee blown out last year, I was so happy about it that I didn’t give a flying rat’s fuck that it was a player on one of my archrival teams (the Chiefs) who did the deed.

Fuck, they could’ve called him a Nicklas Lidstrom type of leader and I would’ve been less offended.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

Zherdev's just wants to come here...

I know, I know… weird. I’m still trying to figure out why he’s so hell bound and determined to come to ATL. He said he wants to play with Kovalchuk, Antropov, and Kozlov, which is great and all, but you have to put up with horrible ownership and no tangible team direction – every year it looks good starting off, every year it sucks, and then at the end of every year, the team teases for the next season’s cycle to begin anew.

That, and we’d actually have to pay Zherdev something, and we’d break the limit for revenue sharing. Yes, to add insult to injury, Atlanta is like a welfare recipient.

The other problem is, if we start winning, I have to pay more for my season tickets.
