Nothing but follow-ups today...
The AHL has forced the Houston Aeros to cancel their Guaranteed Fight Night promotion.
Oklahoma voted to ban cock fighting. Now aficionados of the sport will have to travel to either Louisiana or New Mexico to get their fix.
The Sports Guy has come out with his (much asked for) Unintentional Comedy Rating scale.
Monday, November 4, 2002
I think that if the producers of HBO's brilliant comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm submit last night's episode to Emmy voters, they will win the award for Outstanding Comedy in a landslide. Quite possibly one of the funniest episodes in the history of telelvision. You MUST watch the replay of this if you haven't seen it yet. "Are you my Caucasian?"
Election day is tommorrow. Apparently in Oklahoma they are voting to ban cockfighting. Holy crap, cockfighting! I didn't even know this was legal in the States. I'd like to go to one of these fights, not for the fight itself, but just to people watch. I can't imagine that the people in attendance would be at the top of the gene pool, but who knows. But, if you read this and have ever been to a cockfight, let me know. I'm curious if everyone there is an inbred yokel.
For as long as I can remember, sports teams have had all kinds of different promotions to try and get more fans to show up. They've ran the gamut from really good to really bad. You've got Bobblehead Night, run the bases day, you can get free team apparel like t-shirts or hats (usually with some corporate sponsor's crappy logo ruining it), and really disastrous events such as Disco Demolition Night and 10-Cent Beer Night. Now a minor league hockey team is holding a Guaranteed Fight Night. If there isn't a fight during the game, everyone gets a free ticket to another game.
