Why Hockey Rules all.

It's no secret that Hockey is my favorite sport. I just felt like outlining why and show you all that Hockey is truly the best sport.

First reason is that it incorporates all of the best aspects of all other professional sports. You have the non-stop action of soccer and basketball. Seriously watch a game! Those players don't stop! There's the hard hitting often seen and most of the time exceeded in football. Just look at this video! As far as I can tell all of these hits are legal hits!



And unlike football these guys shake it off get back up and skate. And unlike football they allow sporadic fighting. Check this out.



Lastly it has requires the mental preparation of baseball for each game. Who's in goal? Who's on the DL? Who's on fire right now? If your a few minutes left and a delayed penalty is called and your team has the puck what do you do? (Give it to the other team get the penalty call and finish the period with a PP advantage.) All of those things will and have effected the out come of games.

Secondly besides basketball it's the only sport you can represent your team in the Olympics. Sure you have the World Baseball Classic but who (unless your a baseball fan) watches the Classic? Football plays one game a season outside the United States, one game! Yeah there's the European Football League but people in Europe follow that like we here in the States follow Major League Soccer. Yes there is an MLS in the United States in case you didn't know or care. Soccer does have the World Cup. But, like the question about the tree in the forest by itself, if nobody is watching are you really representing your country? I have a special place in my heart reserved for the hate of soccer.... And who was it that won the hearts of Americans in the 1980's Olympics? It was a Hockey team! Not curling not a ski team Hockey! Remember when we had the NBA Dream team? Jordan, Bird, Robinson, Pippen... Some of the best basketball players on the planet go and win the 92 Gold medal and yet nobody cares! Instead we write movies and books about the 1980 Olympic Hockey Team!


Lastly, like in most manly sports, there has to be a winner. There's a 5 minute over time and if there's no score within that period then there's a shootout. Soccer can end with a 0-0 and people are ok with that....? No wonder soccer is enjoyed more in third world and communistic countries where, 'everyone's a winner'. BALONEY! There are winners and losers in this world and if your a soccer fan your the later. Again I loath soccer.

So there's my reasons for why Hockey is and forever will be the best sport!

Crazy thought....

Ok I am not a fan of the birther movement but I see their point. They just don't have anybody who can logically present their argument. The people who are at the front of the movement, Glenn Beck and that lady that sounds like the villain from Duck Tales, take things way too personally and let the criticism get to them. Those are the main reasons I don't like the birther movements.

But I do see their point.

You and I have to produce a form of identification when asked by an official. Traffic stops, at the DMV, going on a flight..... I have to produce my A&P license when asked by a FAA representative. So why can't we ask our officials for their credentials? The Constitution has very specific regulations that are laid out for the executive, legislative and judicial branches. It even breaks down the different requirements for the House of Representatives and the Senate. It also has a provision written in for the Presidential office, allowing the President to be born under a foreign flag up to a certain year. (If you remember all of our founding fathers were born as British subjects so they aloud their generation and the next to run for that office.)

So why can't we get proof of Obama's birth? The easiest way to shut critics up is to show them the proof that they are asking for right? So why has his administration spent close to 200 thousand dollars keeping thing's quiet and fighting the birthers and other groups in court? Only raises more questions right?

Don't get me wrong I understand his need for a private life, but at the same time he did run for PUBLIC office. The media is still updating us on the spawn of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton and his administration ended over a decade ago. So there goes that argument.

Our REPRESENTATIVES should REPRESENT us. When we elect these people they should answer to us and we should be able to view and critique they're credentials. Call me crazy but that's what I believe.
