Last nights game was difficult to watch. Maybe it was the shitty PP, or the breakaway chances that produced nothing. How about that officiating? To me, the Blues just lacked their spark, and were, dare I say it, boring. Bring back the spark, damnit!

This Rex Ryan speech always pumps me up no matter what - from getting ready to go to the gym to hitting that $6 All You Can Eat lunch buffet. After hearing this, I'm ready to do anything. I also have it transcribed so you can take it on the go, if you so desire. Without further ado, "let's go eat a goddamn snack!"
