Around SBN: Why We're Skeptical Of LeBron James

Ducks Gameday -- Winnipeg vs. Loseaheim

Anaheim Ducks (ugh!) at Atlant Winnipeg Jets (wha?), 4 pm
Anaheim Calling and Arctic Ice Hockey -- the two SBN NHL blogs that beat out BoC alphabetically.

Tough day for blogging. I did DVR last night's game, and did sit down to watch it a few hours late, but the recording fucked up on me -- it jumped from a 1-0 deficit in the first to a 4-0 deficit in the third and the picture was too warped to watch after that. So my buddy and I ended up watching the opening episode of 24/7 instead -- nice work, Bryzgalov, you lovable lunatic.

(And really, thanks for fucking up, DVR, but don't do it again for the recording today, OK?)

This morning was all spent at choir rehearsal, as it's our Christmas concert weekend (if you want to go, it's free and ticketless), so really I have nothing to post for today. But hey, SB Nation is a network, and Anaheim Calling has been working their Teemu-loving tails off in preparation for today's game. Rather than me try to hastily add to that, I'm just going to link it all here.

Now stop bothering me, Ang.

To play or not to play? That was the question...

Anaheim Calling's Tribute to Teemu Week:

1. The Beginning

2. Selanne's Formative Years with the Jets

3. A Trade That Changed Two Franchises

4. The Wonder (Twin) Years

5. The Wilderness Years

6. Return to the Happy Place

Prediction: Teemu scores 76 goals; Jets win 78-77.

Go Ducks.

In China, if you kill a tiger and they catch you, game over. You’re dead. :)

My viewing motto after week one, though: Let Briere speak! He probably scored more goals than anybody on the show but nobody asked him anything.

I thought it was pretty funny when Wayne Simmonds dissed LA

Although I’m sure he would have said the same thing about San Jose.

Yeah, I just thought “Poor Rudy” at that part.

Thankfully it looks like Pronger will be off the show before he gets a chance to slam Ducks fans. :)

Bryz must be reading Carl Sagan
From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it’s different. Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Smart move, Darryl. Start your new job with a fairly guaranteed win. :)

Sutter will likely make his coaching debut for Los Angeles in their next home game Thursday against another team with a new head coach, the rival Anaheim Ducks.

Now stop bothering me, Ang.

It was a simple email :)

But I wanted to share this little bit from over at Down Goes Brown -

January 28, 2008 – Selanne announces that he will return to the Ducks for one final season, on the condition that everyone agree to act surprised when he makes the exact same announcement every offseason for the rest of his life.

Has he really been coming back for one more season this long?
