In other news, Lovie Smith told Chicago reporters that Blogger Danny Da Bear was dead wrong about Jay Cutler. He's a nice guy who's never frowned a day in his life!

They don't read the blogs though.

If they want to address bloggers directly, how about getting the inventor of Schrocky Balboa a game worn jersey? I mean with the 100's t shirts sold with that idea, sure seems like a guy should get a lil sumthin sumthin, right?

Actually, they do not read the blogs. I asked the question.

Why would they read the blogs? It should be team policy that they do not. At least that would be sound business policy.

Okay, we know he sucks on defense and we know that sometime he can shoot and can score. If he is going to be here.. HOW ABOUT YOU TRY HIM AS A FORWARD!

(cups hands around mouth)
A FORWARD, Al.

They all read them Blake. They might tell you they don't....but they do. It is what it is. No big deal.

JM, LKS even has his facebook name as Schrocky Balboa. LOL

I am your witness, you were the guy that dubbed him SB. I was here when you did it.

Lol... I'm not mad.. I just want a jersey, and I'm not fighting the 55 yr old business owner who's daughter must have it at the jersey auction. Maybe I'll write a heart-felt letter to the office and include SuperFan's article about it.

What happens if a dman goes all Ken Boone on us and is hurt in training camp? Let's say that the "routine" procedure Mangos had turns into a Manning episode... BW makes the roster until Mangos is healed.. then another guy gets hurt. Warner could be on the roster until the playoffs again.

Here's another idea.. What if everyone's favorite defenseman Frankie D. demanded to play with BW again the way he did last offseason? What if they are a "package deal"?

Stop it JM....you are helping matters. LOL

What if they sign the rookie D-Man from Michigan and Starenky, and the 6 we know that are good defenseman?

How do we need more than 8? Also this kid Hotte looks pretty good.

If this is a legit deal where the camp is set up for competition and no one's position is a lock, then I can't see how BWs is good enough to make this roster. No offense.

Depends on who you are talking about. Frankes never read the blogs. Life is too short and they get enough grief as it is. Sproat sometimes, but very rarely, and only if he's bored which isn't often.

Players, sometimes but usually only if a friend says ``You ought to see what they are saying about you.'' They look at it once and then forget about it for two months.

Seriously, what's the incentive for them to read the blog? They need more aggravation in their lives?

Frankie and Brandon have already talked about possibly playing together again.

OK....I give. LOL UNCLE.

Your last sentence....enough with the teasing. Not Funny Man.

So are you in the mood to predict 40 goals from Varone or 150 points from the BWs Frankie D line? LOL

I am trying to joke around so I don't get depressed.

How much does it cost to be a sponsor Snuff? Burgee? Burgee has hockey playing kids....Will we see a line of Burgees in the next couple of seasons? Kinda like the Hansons but different....

This news makes me wanna cry. :( I hope he has made some sort of improvement because I was really hoping for a championship caliber team. It's not just him either. I am not impressed. I desperately hope the season proves me wrong.

Frankie D. carries alot of weight, apparently.

Wed, 09/14/2011 - 7:36am

In my mind it was never if, it was when. And they chose to announce him last pretty much,

That will get everyone excited to buy tickets.

May not be F.D. who is carrying the weight?

Will this team be carrying anyone willing to drop the gloves? I'm not saying we need to bring Mirasty back from Russia, but c'mon....this club has to have SOME toughness. Just for the entertainment....or has this organization forgotten who their fans are?

Schrock, Thorne, Cescon, Starnsky, Molle, and Molle can all handle themselves...

None are a traditional goon, but having one isn't really needed when Sims is at the helm. He's not going to play a goon.

RunningKomet
Wed, 09/14/2011 - 12:24pm

Absolutely true about Sims, JM. Komets had one of the better goons in the game last year and he wasn't utilized at all. He was just a paperweight on Sims' bench.

Well lets wait and see what happens when the Mike Sgroi's of the league run wild on us. Sgroi doesn't exactly play around. (think what Elmira's Curtis Tidball did to us a few years back)

Starenky has fought some pretty tough characters while in the LNAH... If he makes the team, he will have zero problems introducing himself to guys like Sgroi...

I hope you are not trying to tie thier professions and thier deaths together???

People suffer from depression and addictions in all walks of life and take thier own lives daily. Its a sad truth. The irony lies in what happens to those who try to get help for thier depression in that narcotics are thrown at them to 'cure' their pains... Feeling sad? Here are some happy pills to make you feel better... Happy Pills not working anymore? Here's some stronger happy pills to get you thru... Vicious cycle...

JR1 I am not alone in seeing there may be a connection.
As someone who has suffered concusions I can tell you they can lead to mood swings/depression etc.

I by no mean say : Be a goon = kill yourself
I can say ; Be a goon, get punched in the head for years=possible depression and other head trauma symptoms.

If you want to take it even a step further to the likes of John Kordic and Bob Probert it can lead to years of substance abuse leading to a premature death.

The problem is, that there are connections to addictions and depression in all walks of life and all types of jobs... If we shut down every type of job that experienced chemical addictions or depression, we would all be sitting home staring at the walls...
