Has anyone noticed WIP added the rest of the "team" to their "starting lineup"/bios section? Check out The Jolly Man

"Second place is first loser." Come on, Jolly Man! Anyone who believes in that cliche is an asshole.

Recent Top Picks in NHL Draft

Sadly fitting that the Flyers lose the lottery and get the #2 pick. To put things into perspective, some recent draft history (snagged from a Flyers board) ...

2006 - Erik Johnson
Jordan Staal

2005 - Sidney Crosby
Bobby Ryan

2004 - Alex Ovechkin
Evgeni Malkin

2003 - Marc Andre Fleury
Eric Staal

2002 - Rick Nash
Kari Lehtonen

2001 - Ilya Kovalchuk
Jason Spezza

2000 - Rick DiPietro
Dany Heatley

1999 - Patrik Stefan
Daniel Sedin

1998 - Vincent Lecavalier
David Legwand

1997 - Joe Thornton
Patrick Marleau

History bodes well for the Flyers, esepcially since there are no Crosby or Ovechkin Jrs. available this year. Also, and much was made of this when the trade went down last year, but how sick is it that San Jose now has the top two 1997 picks on their roster?

New Die Hard

Have you guys heard about Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard: I Hate Everyone II? McClane and a friendly neighborhood hacker boy must stop a ruthless cyber-terrorist. The worst part is there are no members of the Gruber family in this one. There is no way this movie will be entertaining. The two good Die Hards revolve around the Family Gruber. This reeks of Die Hard 2: The Adventures of Hudson Hawk. Am I right, people? Maybe if the terrorist was Ellis' brother-in-law or something. Better yet - Kelly Gruber. I'd pay to see that.

By the way, the Phillies suck.

My Dad on the Phillies' start

My Dad was watching the Met v. Brave game on Sunday and said this when I asked him why he was watching that game: "Well, I can't watch the Phillies. They're unwatchable! THEY SUCK! THEYSUCK!"
I can't really do it justice without imitating his voice. He got more angry and irritated with each sentence. It was hilarious.
