Stephen A. Smith's Hockey Rant Could Possibly Go Viral?

So Stephen A. Smith gets on your nerves? Well for hockey fans, it's about to raise to a whole new level. Stephen A. Smith the other day had his take on ESPN about the point streak that the Chicago Blackhawks have been creating in today's hockey history. Chicago's record today stands at 21-0-3, making that no regulation losses in the entire season.

ESPN said, "Hey, let's compare them to one of our greatest content teams on the show!": The Miami Heat. Now I love doing cross-sport comparisons so just listen to Stephen A. Smith's comparison with the Blackhawks point streak & the Heat's 16-game win streak:



I'm not going to get nit-picky here & say the same thing that every hockey fan is screaming at the top of there lungs because I get it, Stephen A. Smith doesn't know hockey. Yes, there's no ties now & the Miami Heat are king in both the city where I live & the sports media world, but what bothers me is the disrespect allowed on ESPN.

It's just sad to see a "professional" trash a sport that isn't his favorite. I'm guilty of doing this to football, but I recognize the immense popularity & devotion the players have to their passion. My hats off to you NFL.

One of the Most Coolest Things Budweiser has Done: Super Bowl XLVII

This is just too awesome. Apparently in the Toronto area, Budweiser Canada will come out to your home and instal a pre-synced red lamp that is somehow connected to your favorite teams live scoring. Simple right? Goal made, light goes off! I don't know if this is real or not but Budweiser had an ad out for Canadian NFL fans during Super Bowl XLVII:




I mean I don't know if this is true or fake, but wow if it's true. I think I might have one installed if I can get a hold of one through the mail.

The Edmonton Flames!!

I just love screw-ups, especially since hockey is one of those sports that just doesn't scream popularity like the NBA, NFL, or even the MLB sometimes. The programmer for this broadcast was definitely not a Canadian because this one is just silly:




Geez check out that score....& only in the 1st! Just a small laugh (the name misplacement, not the Edmonton performance) before we gear up for our T.O.A. Week #1 Official Power Rankings!
