Nikita Nikitin has to be better than Alex "Call me Sasha" Khavanov. Right?

Videos

Since the fine folks at Joe Sports Fan hit me up with some links, the least I could do is plug their video show. Besides, it's named after Tyson Nash — I'm a sucker for all things named after Blues legends.

Joe sports show or whatever

I think it is a good idea. Too bad I can’t take the one dude serious since he has hair like a bitch. The show needs less Cardinals (aka gayness) and more Blues.

I do wish them luck with it. I’m not a complete hater.

I won’t get to be back on a computer until the 20th, but I am doing you guys proud in the mean time.

I wanted to make a good impression on my first day of work, so I am wearing my inglourious backes t-shirt.

So I just read those cap numbers for the hawks

I was actually laughing out loud at that. They are 18 MILLION OVER THE CAP!! Anyone on the team we would be looking at getting could be had for basically nothing. I can’t wait to watch that team fall apart. Its going to be like watching rats jumping off a sinking ship. They are so boned….
