For all the Calgary Flames fans out there… Me and my once college teammate Matt Canter used to drive to hockey games together & listen to this song to both pump ourselves up and release the tension with a good laugh. This is a rap song to the beat of “50 Cent – In Da Club”. I’m not sure what year it was released, but I think it was 2005-2006 when the Flames lost to the Mighty Ducks in the Conference Finals (3-4). The best line in the song?
Your defense like ‘Efense’… where’s the ‘D’?

Attempting to stand out in an overcrowded job market…
Bucci is brilliant, plain and simple. With this post defending Sidney Crosby to the millions of hockey haters out there, he has just surpassed the great Barry Melrose in my book. People wrote in to him saying that it ‘ruined’ the Olympic experience to have Sidney Crosby score the game winner. Someone even said that Canada would have still won the Gold without Crosby. Bucci’s response was so spot on, it’s crazy. Give this man Bettman’s job and call it a day.
“I watch parts of just about every NHL game. I don’t watch “Lost” or “Dancing with the Stars” or “Idol.” I watch NHL hockey every night I’m home. These are my observations:
1. Crosby rarely whines. In fact, he is one of the more subdued players in the NHL. That is a fact. If you believe otherwise, you haven’t seen a large sample of his games this season.
2. To call him overrated is as implausibly mind-boggling as calling Lady Gaga underrated. He wins faceoffs, he scores goals, he is the best passer in the NHL, he backchecks, he’s completely committed to his craft, he carries his franchise’s media load and has since he was 18. No one has had more asked of him over the past five years than Crosby.
3. Crosby has a scoring title, an MVP award, a Stanley Cup and an overtime gold medal-winning goal. He’s 22. He’s good. Try to enjoy him like the NBA fans who aren’t Cavaliers fans enjoy LeBron James and baseball fans who aren’t Cardinals fans enjoy Albert Pujols.
I have a difficult time detesting anything in life except Michael Bolton covering Otis Redding songs. That’s it.
I agree, agree, agree, agree, agree.
I am a long time listener to the Adam Carolla Podcast (@adamcarolla) and back when it first started I heard a comedian on the show named Mike Birbiglia. Mike impressed me by being very funny and seemed like an up-and-comer who hadn’t really broke MAIN-STREAM yet. I checked his Twitter page and found that he was not @MikeBirbiglia, so I registered it myself as a place holder if he ever wanted it.
About 6 months went by and sure enough, one night I get a call from Mike’s agent asking if I would be interested in giving him the name… I said, “Sure!”. I was not looking for money or any payment for the pseudo-domain-name (it’s against Twitter’s TOS anyway!), I just wanted to grab it before someone malicious could. I sent him the login credentials and a few weeks later got some sweet swag in the mail!
A CD, a DVD and an personalized autographed 8×10. I was stoked! Big thanks to Mike for creating such a fantastic personal connection with me and for being so generous, I will definitely be telling all of my friends 
NOTE: He is also @birbigs
