Cheeky, but genius

And just when I didn't think I could hate Jim Lites any more than I do, he goes and changes my mind completely. This is pretty gutsy. I don't think a lot of owners would try something like this in Hockey.

This might actually drive people away from hockey! But according to Lites, the web site has experienced an increase in traffic since the billboards went up. He neglected to say whether it was related to ticket sales or hate email.

Either way, I applaud you Dallas Stars. I love the NBA as much as anyone, but they need to learn how to take a joke. I'm sure Emperor Stern isn't very happy about it though.

A new season, a new look blog

I re-designed the blog. It was rather plain before, and since I have no substance to fall back on, style will have to do.

But the thorn in every bloggers side, is the name. What to call it? Do you go with a rhyme? Aliteration? A bad pun? Or INSERT NAME HERE: _______ 's BLOG? Maybe an offensive joke? A nice play on words?

Do I use my real first name, Brad? or my online alias, Flaco?

Ideas:

-"Flaco's Sports Flatulence" (hmmm not bad)
-"Hairy Flaco and the Goblet of Vodka" (not enough sports)
-"Flaming Flac0" (gay humor = funny?)

Alas, I think I'll just stick to Blogcasting Brad. I thought that I made that word up, until I read otherwise. Apparently I was about 5 years too late.

Damn you, Wikipedia.

Previously....on my blog

I was gearing up for the playoffs.

Yay! Playoffs.

Every year I get suckered in to thinking it's the most wonderful time of the year. It's awesome. And even though my beloved Stars never seem to take the journey I wish they would any more, at least the Mavericks were poised for an awesome run, right????

Wrong!!!!

That's what's funny about sports. 5 months later I can't wait to do it all again. I'm a shmuck. A huge shmuck. Oh well.

Either way, after not blogging any of the Stars/Mavs collapse, I thought about closing the blog forever. What purpose does it serve? Does anyone but me and 2 of my friends care? Not really. Well it's fun most of the time. And I'm going to try to stay more humorous and keep my ranting to myself.

That should last until about October 5th or 6th when the Stars play their first back to back. Or mid September when the new uniforms are unveiled. I can feel that big vein in my forehead holding its own training camp in there....
