All right, no best of the blog today because you'll have best of the week soon enough. Tonight your focus should be on the NHL, no question, as Sid the Kid and the Malkinator go up against the Flyers. If I were a betting man, and I am, my guess would be that Gary Bettman does everything humanly possible to help the Penguins into the Finals. And honestly, I wouldn't blame him for that. By the way, I love Sid's child molester mustache.There's also the Jazz going up against the Lakers, but whether Utah wins this game or not I think is irrelevant. LA is clearly the better team.
CF and I will be around all weekend. CF will have golfing goodness for you and I will of course have random stuff that amazes and disgusts you at the same time.
