I told you I needed more Mel so, as promised, Chris delivers….

 

THINGS I HATE ABOUT THE DRAFT KNOW-IT-ALL

All of the things I hate about Mel Kiper, Jr.

1) For every 10 seconds Mel Kiper’s mouth is open, a child in Africa gets malaria. It’s a shame his mouth is never shut.

2) He voted for George W. Bush…twice.

3) He supplied Barry Bonds with steroids.

4) He said that Sandlot was a terrible movie, and thought Bewitched was funny.

5) He went green for Earth week, even though the amount of hairspray he uses to keep his hair down is one of the major contributors of pollution in the US.

6) He was blowing out birthday candles just as Scott Norwood went to kick in SB XXV . Since so much air was released from his head, a strong gust caused the kick to go wide right. Even worse, it wasn’t his birthday.

7) He is a Clippers fan

8) He picked North Carolina to win the NCAA Basketball Championship

9) He has a poodle with pink bows in its hair

10) MTV’s The Hills was Kiper’s idea

11) He introduced Roger Clemens to Mindy McCready

12) He challenged Chuck Norris to a fight

13) He pronounced Houshmanzadeh wrong at his fantasy football draft

14) Kiper attends private services with Barack’s pastor

15) He took the racy pics of Miley Cyrus

16) He voted for Sanjaya, multiple times a night

 

As you can see, there are so many things to hate about Mel Kiper, Jr.  For lack of a better term, he is a D- BAG!!! I can’t wait until Todd McShay takes his job over. 

 

***special author’s note: none of these are factually true, but Mel Kiper is such a piece of crap I wouldn’t be surprised if he did.

 

Blogmasters Note: Thanks Chris, next time don’t hold back. I’d like to encourage the other bloggers to post some fond Mel thoughts as well…

 We have another bloguest from another one of our faithful readers.  Maxim61cg lives and dies with his home team as his blog name suggests and he surely has his finger on the pulse of sports fans in our beloved city.  Enjoy…

With the Sabres’ loss to Ottawa on Tuesday night, I have finally come to accept the fact that the Sabres will not be in the playoffs this year. Here are some stats that might catch your eye:               
In the 06-07 Season…
- Daniel Briere: 32 goals(9 on the power play and 6 game winning goals) and 63 assists; All Star Game MVP; Co-Captain
- Chris Drury: 37 goals(17 on the power play and 9 game winning goals) and 37 assists; Co-Captain
- Maxim Afinogenov: 23 goals and 38 assists in 56 games; 2nd on the team in points per game
- Thomas Vanek: led the league in +/-
- Ryan Miller: 40-16-6 through 82 games; GAA- 2.73; SV%- 0.911
- Backup Goalies: 13-6-1 through 82 games
- 308 goals for, 242 goals against
- Presidents Trophy winner with 113 pts
In the 07-08 Season…
- Daniel Briere: on the Flyers(playoff team)
- Chris Drury: on the Rangers(playoff team)
- Maxim Afinogenov: 9 goals and 17 assists in 50 games
- Thomas Vanek: -6, was a +47 last year
- Brian Campbell: traded to the Sharks at the trade deadline
- Ryan Miller: 33-26-9 through 76 games; GAA- 2.64; SV%- 0.908
- Backup Goalies: 2-4-2 through 76 games; GAA- 3.76; SV%- 0.858
- 238 goals for; 228 goals against
- A mere 81 pts through 76 games
Even though our scoring is way down, we are still tops in the league in goals for. Our goals against is going to be virtually the same, so everyone who blames our defense or Ryan Miller needs to stop. I blame upper management. Over the last two years we have lost arguably our 3 best players, or at least the 3 best leaders on the team. We also decided to sign Jocelyn Thibault, who, for lack of a better word, sucks. Ty Conklin, our backup goalie at the end of last year, is 18-8-5 on the playoff bound Penguins. Our backup goalie at the beginning of last year, Martin Biron, is leading the Flyers to the playoffs. Dainius Zubrus, who we traded for last year, is on the playoff bound Devils. Biron, Briere, Campbell, Conklin, and Drury, Zubrus, all Sabres last year, all on playoff bound teams this year. Think about that…
