No Ice

The NHL is on strike. I'm a hockey fan, and I barely care.

Why? Simple. The season's too long anyway. Until we get to January, hockey is little more than a useful diversion during the week, and even then, I have college basketball to fill the void (even I'm not insane enough to still watch the NBA during the regular season -- now there's something pointless). I feel terrible for all the folks in hockey front offices and other places who are being laid off while the owners conduct their version of labor Armageddon, but there's plenty of injustice in the world. Until we hit post-Super Bowl and there's no hockey, I'm at peace.

But if they make me watch the NBA next spring... I'll never forgive them.
