Finally fall is here. It is about time, I was beginning to wonder if the hot weather would dominate all of september and october. I love cold weather. I don't know exactly why but winter is always just freaking awesome. It just isn't fall until I start watching hockey though....and tonight I got to see a pre season game. The Rangers lost, but you know.....it's pre season so it's not a big deal. It was just great to see hockey again after a long summer of being deprived. The Rangers have a shot this year, I know it. I feel it in my bones.....they won't suck as bad as before. Maybe it is just a fans empty hope, but dammit I love the Rangers. I can't understand why hockey is not one of the nations top sports though, it is always the lowest rated of the major sports. I mean come on, basketball....baseball? Baseball is quite possibly the most boring sport to watch, and basketball players just make me sick with there arrogance. Hockey is aggressive, fast, exciting to watch and overall just a fun game to watch. There is always something happening at a hockey game, very rarely does action slow down or the fans get bored. I see baseball fans watching the TV at games.....watching TV! You paid $70 to sit in the stands and watch TV? Plus, what other sport allows fightiing.....with only a 5 minute penalty as a punishment. Hockey also has the greatest sportsmanship of any other sports. The playoff handshake is a sign of good sportsmanship and a damn fine way to end a series. The two teams show respect for each other by shaking hands, respect is the key word here folks. There is not enough respect left in the sports world dominated by scandal, arrogance, ridiculous salaries and whiny players. It is a game, never forget that.....you win, you lose as long as you had fun doing it.....it is good. Plus, sports players are payed entirely too much.....but I will talk about that one at another time. Ah yes, hockey is back, fall is here and dammit I am happy.Later.
