Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
It's a week past Christmas - can we all agree that there's no excuse for still playing Christmas music under any circumstances (unless the 24/7 music is being used to torture a confession out of someone)... Business idea - start a religion that is centered on finding the Christian messages in movies - any movie. That gives you the excuse to open a movie theater and charge "donations" to "parishioners." You could even sell sacramental popcorn, soda and snacks. The minister could deliver a brief sermon before the screening... Gordie Howe patriot!... Cam Newton seems to be a nice enough guy but I hope today is his last game in a Patriots uniform. I also hope New England never adds another vegan to its roster... Flaming Muffins would be a great name for a lesbian punk band... Who knew? Pro-Football-Reference lists one of Gardner Minshew's nicknames as the "Jockstrap King." What the heck is the story behind that?...

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Cool look at the type of person Gary Woodland is. Be sure to watch the first video. Gary's a good guy.
- A good list
- So this Navy veteran dies with no known family...
- Honestly this thread got me a little upset. And if you've been paying attention it should upset you too.
- 29 James Altucher quotes worthy of contemplation. Some are rehashed cliches but still worthwhile.
- If I owned a bar I'd make sure this photo got a prominent position on one of the walls

- The Potemkin Olympics one-year later - Russia is a mess
- The Taiwan animators take on Super Bowl 49 - doesn't disappoint.
- Encouraging news on Gordie Howe. Just encouraging in general - adult stem cells are the shit!
- This is so awesome!
- 5.6% Unemployment is one big lie
- Not to stereotype but yeah - this is pretty much how all Boston fans felt about the Super Bowl (NSFW language)

NHL Mount Rushmore
I know the "Mount Rushmore of" whatever memes are tiresome in general but I have to admit the NHL Mount Rushmore has gotten me thinking. The first three are no-brainers - Wayne Greztky, Gordie Howe and Bobby Orr. But who would be the Teddy Roosevelt of the NHL Mount Rushmore?
Would it be Mario Lemieux? What about having a goalie on the list? Martin Brodeur is the all-time NHL wins leader as a goalie. Brodeur also has one more Stanley Cup as a player than Super Mario. But if its Stanley Cups you want - how about Maurice Rocket Richard who had 8 with the Canadiens and was the first player to have 500 goals. Personally I would like to see Cam Neely but I'm a parochial Boston Bruins fans.
Who should be that forth person on the NHL Mount Rushmore?

Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
I didn't win last night's lottery but if I did I had planned to purchase the mortgage on any home for any player from the 1978 Yankees or the 1986 Mets. God help them if they would have missed a payment... Happy 84th birthday to NHL legend Gordie Howe. In his honor here's Ilya Kovalchuk's Gordie Howe hat-trick from this past February... My mind works differently than others. Proof is this morning I found myself wondering if Marcus Camby was this generation's Caldwell Jones or if he's the black Alvin Adams... Jack Johnson was born on this day in 1878. For my money - Johnson is the greatest heavyweight champion of all-time. I think Johnson in his prime would destroy Ali or Tyson. Joe Louis? That would be a great fight... I've said it before but Keith Olbermann really stopped being taken seriously after Ben Affleck's devastating spot-on impression of him on SNL. He's been a joke ever since... On this day in 1917 the US took possession of the US Virgin Islands (formerly the Danish West Indies) after paying Denmark $25 million. Talk about great deals - that $25 million would be worth just $486 million in today's dollars (less than last night's lottery total)... If I owned a minor league baseball team - I'd publicly offer Keith Olbermann the job of public announcer just for the free PR the offer would generate...
