  • The Predators have an idea to keep Blackhawks fans from buying single-game tickets. Hahaha. This is gonna fail SO fucking miserably. [Section 303]

OTHER SHIT:

  • On Twitter, Nick Hand passed this along and thought of me. Rightfully so . . . MINI DONUT FLAVORED BEER!!!!! [Stillwater Patch]
  • SB Nation's Dan Bernstein has a "Dan On Fire" segment that is meant to be satire. Apparently, if you see the comments on this post, people don't know how to read. [SB Nation / Dan On Fire]

VIDEO:

CrossCheckRaise isn't just podcasting . . . he's also passing along this week's Mental Floss video, which runs down 37 odd college mascots . . . yes, it has local flavor (SLU, StL College of Pharmacy, Webster and others), as well as local flavor for ME (U of Montana).

Too bad they didn't expound on the Billikens. That's a fucked-up story right there.

I'm off for the weekend. J-Mill's got you covered Friday thru Sunday. Send him shit:

J-Mill will also have a piece on how to hate one of our new division rivals later this morning. So stick around, will ya?

And I'll see you kind folks again on Monday. Yippie Ki-Yay, motherfucker.
