I LIKE MIKE

Go here to read an interview with retired Rangers goalie Mike Richter. He has quite a bit to say about the place of fighting in hockey. My favorite bit:
NYSX: Flyers GM Bobby Clarke says goalies are too protected.

MR: In terms of not being run?

NYSX: Yeah.

MR: That's asinine.
Heh.

Richter is one of the players that I most admire. He was a fantastic goalie, player, and all around nice guy. Any failings he had as a goalie are more due to the team playing in front of him, rather than any personal weaknesses. I remember watching him steal the World Cup of Hockey back in 1996. He carried that team on his back, kicking & screaming the whole way. Mike, you are missed. MSG just isn't the same without you.

HERE COMES THE HALIBURTON FLOAT...

Go listen to the O'Franken Factor's tongue-in-cheek coverage of the Iraqi Independence Day Parade. Be prepared to laugh like a hyena, startling your friends, coworkers, and loved ones.

Dry, understated, and brutally funny. Al Franken is a comedy genius.

PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE!

Bush rebuffs Chirac over Turkey

Really, he should've waited until dessert. Rebuffing is bad for the digestion, my mother always says.
