Thanks to Tom Rodebaugh for sending this link as it relates to Phillies hero Matt Stairs and the game of hockey.

I thought this might be worthy of discussion on a day where the Bears are off for six days. I preface this by saying I'm a closet political junkie, who spends as much time watching the issues of the day as I watch Sportscenter. However, I believe that the two should not cross over. No one listens to me ...Continued |
