2011 NHL All-Star Game Injury Replacement Mock Draft

It seems that our NHL All-Star Game Mock Draft was cursed before it was even posted. Over the last couple of days, five players have dropped out of the All-Star Game due to injury. Included in the injured players were some of the NHL’s biggest names including Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jarome Iginla. In order to make our duel of the All-Star GMs fair, Jackie and I are drafting the replacement players.

Tracy Morgan Is A Sarah Palin Fan

Tracy Morgan is a funny guy and we can never exactly be sure what’s going to come out of his mouth.

NHL Power Rankings: Week 17

The NHL All-Star break begins today. We’ve finally reached what is colloquially known as the halfway point of the season. In reality, all teams have played at least 48 games at this point of the season. This doesn’t mean that the playoff picture is much clearer in either conference. For example, fourteen points is the difference between leading the Western Conference and being out of the playoffs. Despite how close the competition is, we have a repeat team atop the Power Rankings. Continue reading

2011 NHL All-Star Game Mock Draft

This year’s NHL All-Star Game has a unique new format that has been talked about quite a bit. This year, two team captains would get a chance to draft their own All-Star teams to play with. Now Jackie and I thought this sounded like a good idea so we decided to do our own All-Star Game mock draft. We’d alternate picks until we both had 21 man rosters like the real thing.

So how did our mock draft play out? Our draft results after the jump. Continue reading

Worst of Music: Britney Spears – Hold It Against Me

Since marrying Kevin Federline (AKA K-Fed and AKA FedEx), Britney Spears has basically disappeared off the face of the earth apart from tabloid appearances marking her train wrecking life. The highlight of her musical career since marrying Federline in 2004 was the semi-nude behind the scenes pictures from the video for her 2007 song Gimme More. Since her marriage, she released two completely forgettable albums. Well, now she’s back with her latest overhyped comeback attempt with the new single Hold It Against Me. Continue reading
