-The 23 Best Mullets in NHL history. Cause why the fuck make it a routine 25?
-The other day I said that Kim Kardashian’s booty was my favorite. I regret to inform you, I lied. I forgot all about Vida Guerra and I will do my best to make it up to her, but more importantly, you the reader, whom I let down.
-To the surprise of no one, Plaxico Burress did not have a great time in jail. (Via ESPN)
“There is nothing pleasant about prison,” he said. “There’s so much I can tell you and (at the same time) no one thing I can put my finger on. There’s an emotional toll and there were definitely some guys I was around who’d done things that made me say, ‘Really, seriously, I am here?’ ”
Yet Burress said he thought he left prison a better receiver than he entered.
ZING! I love it when ESPN does my job volunteer activity for me.
-Roberto Luongo will be in net tonight for the Vancouver Canucks as they take on the Boston Bruins in Vancouver for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. Jason Bourne on what the Canucks need to do to improve upon their recent lackluster play. I’m calling a 3-2 OT win for the Canucks. Kesler with two early, and Thing 1 with the OT winner. Just for fun: breakaway stick side, top shelf, right where the clerk keeps the X-rated DVDs.
-Finally, Rachel McAdams may be the hottest woman on the planet. Starred in The Notebook and she’s a hockey fan? Signed, sealed, delivered.
